Apparently I got my first compliment today from a bud in his 8th prestige who thinks that I play very well and some stuff about clans or something o_O

So on what gun is ACOG good for? Just curious considering how downright horrible they are on Snipers.

What do you guys prefer for a riot shield, Throwing Knife or C4? Personally I like them evenly, because on S&D for me I using marathon lightweight/coldblooded ninjapro/commando for offense and C4 Scavenger coldblooded/dangerclose/commando for defense. It has worked pretty well for me.

And am I the only one who thinks OMA works on a riot shield class? I find it extremely useful on offense because I can set up two claymores for rushers and then still have my throwing knife to use throughout.
C4, never ever ever use a throwing knife. Huge splash damage, the ability to activate without leaving your shield, and sticking is more useful than no splash damage, speed, and the ability to pick it back up. Ideal setup is Scav, Danger Close, and Commando so you won't have your single C4.

I think OMA is decent on a shield. It's viable but not the best you can do. Best thing you can do is have one OMA class and one DC class. Put down two claymores, then switch to your regular shield. If it's Wasteland or something of that nature, I have a OMA C4 class where I combo the two.

So on what gun is ACOG good for? Just curious considering how downright horrible they are on Snipers.
ACOG is just fine on snipers. It's best on the FAL and M240 in my opinion.

I used to use an ACOG on the SCAR-H back when I first got the game.

Sadly, I don't use the SCAR-H anymore so :L

Yeah :mad that's exactly what I do. Though I use the OMA C4 and OMA claymore tactic for everything besides S&D since its very situational. Though yeah I guess you can say C4 is better but to me for offense having a throwing knife makes you feel like rambo. Plus its not that hard to aim if you just use stuns to keep him still lol.

I know how you feel Delta. I've piggybacked teams through Search plenty of times but never Sabo. I got the emblem and it was worth it.

Actually, imo, ACOG's really good Blinged onto an MG4, or basically any weapon with very low recoil. It's fairly good on the L86 too - SUSAT is waaaay clearer and isn't affected by EMP.

... what? Is Sabotage, like, really hard or something?

It's just really aggravating... Basically, You're gonna lose unless you're team actually tries to get the bomb. It's so team based.
A game that's team based?! How dare they implement such a gametype!

If you don't work with your team and communicate you will lose. Get friends with mics and party up. Stop ridin' solo and making excuses.

@rRiot - It's just extremely time consuming. Sometimes you'll spawn late but still get a few kills and even a plant. Your team wins but it won't give you credit for being at the start. I believe the time limit is 20 minutes, so that goes to show how long these games can be. There's the chance that you can get bad teammates, some people are AFK, you could get the bad bomb side, and you need a whopping 50 WINS. That means start to finish Sabotage, bomb planted, boom, no host lagging out and turning their Xbox off.

It's by far best on the L86.

Also, I only feel team based is fun on CoD. Going loner can only do you so much good, but getting good with your friends makes it more fun and worthwhile.

Sorry if every time I enter a Sabotage game I get put into a game that my team is losing? Plus, since I'm usually in Party Chat w/ my friends and they're playing different games, I can't communicate with my teammates. And it's not like communicating would help anyways, half of them don't have mics. Also, a lot of my friends don't even play MW2 anymore. :(

Yes, because from past experiences playing Sabo, most people go for kills and don't even bother trying to grab the bomb and planting it. It should be renamed to "Boost your K/D ratio".

And the reward for slogging through all that is a measly emblem? ._.

Seems like a huge waste of time to me...

Why be a K/D wh0re though? Are people seriously this ****ing insecure about their silly *** K/D ratios?

Seriously, people? It's not like others will ACTUALLY look you up on the leaderboards...

Yes. I've had other players look me up in the leader boards before.

OMA works for riot shield, but in my opinion the C4/DC class is the safest/best bet you can have for your riot shield. Not having any secondary at all in a class where you essentially have no primary is not an easy thing to pull off, although there are good ways to utilize it. Like :mad: said, if you want to have an OMA/Riot Shield class, make sure you have another Riot Shield/C4 class to switch to. I suck with Riot Shield though so I would listen to the other people in the thread over me.

Lol, what guns are ACOG NOT bad for?
Agreed. For every gun it's ok on, you're still much better off with another attachment. Snipers are ok with it, but you can get soooo much more use out of something else like a HBS or Thermal Scope. I really wish they would make it worth using.

People use it as a way to show skill. I really wish they didn't track it, and I know I'm guilty of trying to keep it at a decent level unfortunately. I realllllly want to get it back above 2, but it's so **** hard to be consistent with.

Sabotage is gay. None of my friends like to play it, so I basically had to go solo for 50 entire games to pull a win. The problem is, is that so many people refuse to grow a pair and defend the bomb. I've had situations where I single-handedly took the bomb at the start, planted it, and defended it for THIRTY OUT OF THE FORTY FIVE SECONDS before dying, and NONE of my teammates left their camp spots to come help. I've had situations where a teammate grabbed the bomb, was sitting IN THE ENEMY SPAWN with the REST OF OUR TEAM there, not planting it, despite us having the ENTIRE place on lock down. I've had situations where there was only ONE guy left on our team standing, and the bomb we planted was going to blow up in SIX seconds, and all he had to do was grow a pair, turn the corner, and kill the guy defusing to win the game. But no, he just SAT there.

I'm so glad I'm done with it.

This. 9001 x this.

Reminds me of this one time where my team had this guy that went 25-0, but we still lost because he wouldn't go defuse the bomb despite there being a Pavelow in the sky, a UAV airborne, and their entire team dead.

I have two accounts. One is my legit account, 5th prestige level idk, and hacked 10th Prestige level 53. I don't really care too much about my legit account's K/D, and it generally sits around 1.50 because of that. However, my hacked account I care a bit more about the K/D, but not enough to camp (Except on Derail, that map is a nightmare), that K/D generally sits around 2.20ish, it's gone down recently because I've been trying to unlock everything and whatnot, but a couple of 30-<8 FFA's will bring it back up pretty fast.

I care somewhat about K/D, as it's a general statement of how well you do on average, in regard to kills. I also care about W/L, because that's a general statement of how well you do as a team player, depending on what gametype you play. I judge people on how good they are at this game based on their K/D as well as their W/L. I have friends who have a 3-1 K/D, but a .20 W/L, and I have friends with a .80 K/D, but a 9.05 W/L. I don't know wabout you

My W/L is horrible because I ragequit about every 1-2 games. Ask Cyan. It's about .75, but I'm trying to bring it up.

Most of the time I play with a party of friends, that's why my W/L ratio in MW2 is actually good unlike in CoD4.

I hate randoms.

I don't know why I care about my K/D so much, but I still do. I guess the only reason I try to keep it up is because it seems like a measure of skill to me, but really it can mean everything but that. I'd have much more fun playing this game if I didn't care about my K/D, but I do and I'm pretty sure I always will care about it. In cod4 and 5 I would have fun and just mess around, which is why my K/D is terrible in both of them, but seeing as no one plays those games all that much anymore, I don't mind. I only care about up to date games to be perfectly honest. Once black ops comes out, I won't care about MW2 at all. I don't have anything to do on MW2 right now anyways, so unless I do get around to buying a capture card for commentaries, I won't play that much. It's hard to start up a youtube channel, but whatever.

If I had to choose a K/D that I pretty much always achieve or get close to in games, it would be the 2.17 I'm at right now. I could up my defensive gameplay another notch, making my K/D much higher, but the UMP is my best friend, and with rushing comes lots of deaths. Defensive gameplay is so good but it gets absurdly boring after a while.

Edit: I'm thinking of making a CoD:hao2pley guide, but I don't know how I'd format it or anything. There's so much to talk about and other than doing gameplay/commentaries, I want to make some sort of guide. Good/bad idea? Suggestions?

I can help with any gun/equipment write-ups and any necessary stats.

.79 is a negative K/D, meaning you have more deaths than kills. I'd say anything under 1.20 is bad.
