What should I use, then? FAMAS or M16? I know the M16 fires faster but the FAMAS has all three of its bullets hit the target faster...

And I like your list, except for the M16 and FAMAS. I don't know why, but I don't use burst rifles much at all.
Heh, I know where you're coming from. I have friends who just naturally hate using burst rifles, so it's not odd to hear that. The reasoning behind the Famas being higher up than the M16 is because the Famas has better long range accuracy, thus doing more damage at longer range, which is exactly what you want with a burst rifle. Essentially what I'm saying is the more accurate the gun, the more bullets that are actually going into the enemy, which causes more damage. You'll consistently get single burst kills across any map with the Famas, whereas the M16 will almost always take two or more bursts to kill. Also, the M16 needs the holographic sight to be accurate, making bling almost a necessity if you want to use a different attachment yet keep the weapon as accurate as it is with the holographic sight. I'm pretty sure the Famas can be used with any attachment without hindering its accuracy in any way. All in all, the Famas is the better gun. And the reason these guns are so good is because at long range, which is the best way to approach getting kills in this game, these guns are insane. Powerful, accurate, and fast, all the ingredients needed to make a good gun. At close range they're not as good as fully automatic guns, but with sleight of hand pro all of your problems with close range battles should be solved. The Famas is easily the best gun in the game in the right hands.

The main reason I'm buying these maps is so that the probability of having to play on Storm is lessened.

The more I play this game, the more I realize that the ACR is not a good gun whatsoever. I really think it is not even in the top 5 for ARs (with FAMAS, M16, TAR, SCAR, AK all being clearly better and I think the FAL as well).

Interesting thoughts about the Carbine being worse than the F2k, that is kind of a toss-up for me, as they are both very awful. I think once you get pretty good at this game, then the Carbine might be the worst of the ARs, but the F2k is still absolutely awful.
I don't really consider the M4 bad, just that it's outclassed.

So Leafy's scores of "30-0" Are done without Killstreaks? Yeah, thought so.
In this post: Icy misses the point entirely. I said before that pubs don't prove a thing. How well you can do with a weapon does not prove how good it is. I've pulled off flawlesses before with a Riot Shield, I've carried teams with a silenced TMP, I've done it all. I use UAV - Counter UAV -> Predator. By your logic, every gun is bad. The TAR-21 has the stats to prove that it's a good gun. In practice, it's a good gun. This isn't something that's subjective like "To me, it's a good gun."

The main reason I'm buying these maps is so that the probability of having to play on Storm is lessened.
You can always vote/back out.

The FAMAS is much better than the M16, although both are great. I can dig up my post on the subject if you want.

Top 5 guns in the game, although I switch my opinion on the order of these five all the time.

1. UMP
2. FAMAS
3. TAR
4. M16
5. Barrett

I don't know if people would agree with throwing a sniper rifle in there, but honestly the Barrett is so good with its 100% move speed and incredible power/fire rate. SPAS would probably be #6, but it is just too map-dependent.

EDIT: Primaries only considered, but I don't think any secondaries should be on this list barring MAYBE the Rafficas

BKP, paragraphs plzkthx.

Walls of text don't fly with me for some reason :dizzy:
I'm so lazy when I'm out of school. :urg:

And @ Fletch about the Spas being on the list - I was thinking the exact same thing. It's ridiculously good close range and even medium range, but the reality of it is on a map like wasteland, you're going to get crushed using it as opposed to a map such as invasion or favela. I don't think it's stupid to have a sniper on there, but the burst rifles are almost snipers in themselves. Instead of sniping, I just slap on a Famas, which is saying something about this game. :dizzy:

Does anyone use Emergency Airdrop much?
I feel it's the most rewarding for the least effort most of the time.

I also made a cool class to change to before you throw it down.

OMA
Cold blooded
Last Stand

Riot Shield
Tactical Insertion
Smoke Grenade

Basically you switch to this before you throw down your airdrop,then as it's coming in throw down your tactical insertion and then smoke grenade.

I've had great success getting all my packages using this strategy.

Discuss.
I do. I recently completed the challenge for the EAD emblem. I used 3/5/8 with hardline on so it was easier. I let my teammates take my care packages cause you get a lot of XP for that. Like, +800 for a stealth bomber. I feel that 3/5/8 is the best way to get EADs because I'm a team player and everyone likes UAVs and the PM helps me get 2-3 kills for the EAD.

In regards to the killstreaks, I don't remember the last time I used one. For kills anyway.

My setup is:

UAV
C-UAV
EaD

And then I only grab the C/UAVs. /shrug
Meh, I usually use:

UAV
Predator missile
Emergency Aidrop

That or the typical 5/7/11 kill streak.

BKP, paragraphs plzkthx.

I bet.

RPGs. Doesn't matter how much they curve, you start with two.

RPGs with Danger Close have a stupid kill radius. I know someone who always uses an RPG in FFA (never in anything else though, for some reason...) and always aims at the ground taking himself out, as well as anyone within a 15 feet radius >_>

Probably farther than that or something...

I'd say its map-dependent. I really love the RPG but its inaccuracy can make it a huge pain on certain maps.

It's just fine if you have the high ground.

I know Tim liked my wallbang killcams on Rundown.

I love the RPG, mainly because its blast radius is absolutely ridiculous. I was playing estate and shot a completely random RPG from the C building into the top row of windows into the A building and got a kill. Tactics for the win.

@ :mad: Yeah, those were pretty sweet. Btw, sorry I ruined your fun today in MW2. I wanted the XP... :( *shameful*

And the resurgence pack DLC is available on steam for 10% off. ($13.49) It will be available on the PSN sometime later today.

Psh, I would've stayed more if :mad: hadn't wanted me out because I was getting revenge on turtlers who I killed accidentally when I accidentally pressed the trigger on my rpg and they got revenge back at me in search.

Although it's frowned upon by many, danger close tubing with RPGs in S&D is amazing. Reasoning behind this is because usually people aren't very mobile in S&D and they tend to stay in buildings often, making them easy prey to an RPG. It's stupid, but if you want to get a lot of kills in S&D you might as well try it.

I don't respect you. :mad:

You kill their entire team -> they revenge kill you. Should've ended here. You then kill their entire team again. It was retribution, doesn't matter if it was an accident. :mad:

What happened now? :O
We got into a lobby where the entire other team was turtling. They had Riot Shields on their back and they were crawling. Serin, roach, Mistah G and myself all joined in. We got Riot Shields and crawled alongside them and had a blast. F8AL had to kill all of them and ****ed it up. Prick.

Am I the only one who only gets good killstreaks going 3/9/11? I can't use 5/7/11 or 7/9/11 at all.
7/9/11 is pretty easy, and it gets far better results than 5/7/11 or 5/7/9, and slightly better than 3/9/11. I've gotten many FFAs where my Pave Low destroyed them so badly that I didn't even get a chance to call in my Chopper Gunner. I don't only use it in FFA, but I ALWAYS use it in FFA. I'm gonna start using it in 6vs6 games as well, just to see how it works out.

I don't use UAV, because like in CoD4, it hinders me more than anything.

The only way that the UAV can hinder me is when it's over and I have to get used to not knowing where people are again >_>

That, and the fact that cold blooded exists

@ :mad: Yes, I deserve this hate from you. At least I apologized unlike Roach.

@ roach: You screwed us over a few games today by not shooting down the air support. :mad:

Wait, what?

Doesn't matter, roach. You betrayed their trust.
Lol, It's not the only gametype I use 7/9/11 in, but If I'm playing FFA, it's the only killstreak layout I'll use. If a team sucks in GW, I'll use that. If they OMA me, I OMA them back. A 7 Killstreak with OMA is stupid easy, but I replace the Chopper Gunner with the AC-130, because Chopper Gunners in GW will generally get you nowhere, unless you're spawntrapping them so bad that they can't move without dying, and that doesn't happen on most maps.

Speaking of the AC-130, is it me, or do people not use it? I get far more kills with an AC-130 than with a Chopper Gunner, because most smart people shoot them down. Even in FFA, I see people shooting down my Choppers every now and then. Just because the AC-130 takes skill to use. I've asked a few of my friends why they don't, the general response is either: "I suck with it" or "I don't know when to use it", so I came up with this crappy list of when they work best. This is a copy-paste, so meh.

A few maps that it does work on in Domination are:

-Skidrow, A Flag
-Afghan, C Flag
-Rundown, A or C Flag
-Terminal, A Flag (I've gotten a 8-man 105mm dropping it on A, just saying. The Chopper Gunner works, but I still prefer the AC-130 on this map.)
-Favela, A Flag
-Scrapyard, C Flag
-Wasteland, C Flag
-Estate, B Flag

I know a few more, never got around to them. You can use them anytime in TDM when you're just applying pressure on them, so it doesn't really require a list.

How is accidentally doing something betraying someone?
You killed them. Doesn't matter if it was on purpose, they still died. They killed you out of revenge, it should have stopped there. You payed for your fatal mistake and instead of being the noble young gentleman you were destined to be, you ruined it for those poor randoms by brutally murdering their entire squad whilst they posed no threat to you.

@ :mad: Yes, I deserve this hate from you. At least I apologized unlike Roach.

@ roach: You screwed us over a few games today by not shooting down the air support. :mad:
EXCELLENT POINT. :mad:

And why do you expect for me to do it? Why can't you?
Because we're busy killing the opposing team!111
