Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[RuNNing Riot]

Until you get beat by nearly anything that's fully automatic.

The only times I've done exceptionally well with the gun are when people run right into my sights. The fully-auto guns in this game just destroy it.

lol get a rapidfire controller then I don't run into that problem much because I have Akimbo G18s as a secondary for it. Plus, I tend to stick to a stealthy kind of playstyle so I'm not running into people with full autos on a regular basis, and it's why I greatly prefer a large outside map, when I use it.

Someone tell me, why do people sometimes use the wazoo over the Barrett? Isn't getting OHKOs better than a THKO?

And what's a good primary for an Akimbo Rangers class?

Because the Wazoo is better than the Barrett if you aren't using Stopping Power - they share the same OSOK range but the Wazoo has less recoil. You can and should be aiming for a one-shot with both.

And anything with decent range that doesn't need SP is good with the Rangers. I had it on a class with a Wazoo one time.

If a gun can't stand alone, then it's not very good. The less flexible a gun is, the worse it is. The FAL is INCREDIBLY specialized, and thus isn't as good as a large majority of the ARs.

Your love for the Wazoo, and the use of it on your Rangers class, makes me horny.

Question: do you guys prestige? I did for the first time last week and I'm kind of regretting it now.

I went to tenth, although only 9 are truly necessary for every class.

I did it once for the extra custom class slot. I don't want to suffer anymore so I didn't prestige again.

By that logic, sniper rifles and LMGs are useless, secondaries are pointless, and the only guns worth using in the game are the UMP and TAR-21. It's a very simple task to just pick a good secondary that covers the first's weaknesses. And besides, flexibility often means you don't excel in any one area.

 

[Fuelbi]

I was planning on prestiging until 10th, but since BO will come out soon, I'm just playing casually now

Again, WHEN will they implement the OMA patch? I always die a bit inside everytime I get noob tubed

Sniper Rifles aren't the best weapons in the game because they aren't flexible. They lack CQ capabilities, but there are ways to remedy that. Haven't we agreed that one of the best guns in the game IS the UMP? BECAUSE it's so flexible? Same with the Tar, and nearly every other full auto AR. The Burst ones **** too, because it's easy to get one quick aim on a target, pull the trigger once, and get a kill.

The thing with the FAL, is that if you and a guy see each other at the same time, he wins. At long range, the guy with the auto will win, because you have a semi auto weapon that you need to adjust for recoil while using. The FAL requires TOO much precision to be good all the time. It's nearly impossible to be amazingly consistent with it. My FAL scores always range from **** to TERRIBLE.

I'm not bad at this game. I've been using the FAL for a LONG time. It's good in theory, bad in practice.

There IS no OMA patch. It won't happen. Get over it, guys. Lol

Not for a while. Infinity Ward doesn't really care about fixing MW2's glitches. (They probably think their game is perfect too...)

On another note, some guy spawned inside of me today in MW2.

We did, and with good reason. But I wasn't trying to dethrone it or the TAR. I was saying how just because a gun isn't as flexible as another doesn't mean you should just discard it immediately. The FAL is greatly inferior to the UMP overall, yes, but it still wins at long ranges where the one less bullet to kill can make a difference.

Debatable. Full autos do have recoil too, you know. As I said, you'll need three bullet to get a kill with most weapons, but not a FAL. The time you take to get three shots in is plenty for him to hit you twice. It helps a lot if you play more conservatively too - I believe that doesn't suit you well, iirc.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Lol since when did everyone else start calling the wa2000 the wazoo?

They need to put the noobtube/shotgun attachment onto sniper rifles. That'll fix your problem right there.

The FAL is greatly inferior to the UMP overall, yes, but it still wins at long ranges where the one less bullet to kill can make a difference.

The problem is, is that it's TOO conservative. It can't do much outside of VERY specific situations. And even that depends entirely on the general flow of the match in question. I just don't think it stands up well enough in actual practice. And I've been using it for about a month, now. Probably more.

The time you take to get three shots in is plenty for him to hit you twice. It helps a lot if you play more conservatively too - I believe that doesn't suit you well, iirc.

But the good fully auto weapons can get you with three shots before they really need to manage recoil, while you need to shoot, reset, shoot. Also, if you get shot at that range, your gun will jerk up, and then you REALLY won't get them. If they move, it's another hassle to reset your sights.

I've played EXTREMELY conservatively with the FAL, but really, it's not worth it. Either people run into **** and I go 30-2, or I'm left alone and go like, 6-1. Or, the enemy doesn't suck, abuses how bad the FAL is, and I go like, 10-8.

Personally, I've been using the FAL with Marathon/LW/Commando and silenced. I'm much happier with those scores than I was with HoloFal with Scav/SP/SitRep.

Lol since when did everyone else start calling the wa2000 the wazoo?

Since forever.

Oh no.

 

[O D I N]

Oh no.

More like... Uh... YEAH.... >_>

That would be ridiculous.

 

[Pikaville]

As much anger and pain as this game has brought me, it has inadvertently given me something very special.

(AWWWWWWWWW)

Hey, if anyone (Fletch) can find a good deal online for a wired headset under $30, please tell me. friend wants one

for PS3, if it matters

 

[xLeafybug =D]

Why use the FAL when the FAMAS, or the M16 are there?

Cyan, what do you mean? You mean like a Gaming Headset, like a PX21 or a Tritton? or just like, a Wired Mic? Cause you can find those like, anywhere. Basically any USB microphone will work.

Why use anything when the M16, SCAR, or UMP are there?

Why use anybody else when Meta Knight is there?

Maybe for...fun...

Although the FAL is so bad it hurts.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

I have more fun using the F2000 or the P90 than I do with the FAL. It's terrible beyond words, and I refuse to use it.

I know. I'm really about to stop using it. >_>

Automatic weapons are just so much better. I'm glad someone else sees the FAL the way I do. @_@

 

[Player-1]

blinged thermal/shotgun attachment FAL is the best

 

[RuNNing Riot]

In hardcore, that is. Isn't Masterkey on the FAL like twice the range it is usually?

Yeah, my friend wants a gaming headset (doesn't have to be a good brand like TB) for <$30. Like a sale/good deal, too

 

[Pikaville]

If that is true, then it's got the range of half of highrise!

I would love to see a kill like that.

I really don't know where he'd be so lucky.

I'll keep an eye out Cyan, I've seen deals for them before under $30. He should still just get the TBs when they go on crazy sales like the last couple of times I've posted them.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Well, it seems I won't be playing this game so much anymore. But besides that, I've fallen in love with the ACR w/red dot and sleight of hand pro. Easy to get kills with and I love the ACR.

Also, I was playing team tactical with a full party of friends and then some domination, and wow, playing the objective with a group of friends and beating the other team senseless feels infinitely more rewarding than going 50-0. I'm glad I've got that mentality, because halo is all about teamwork and winning, not stupid *** K/D.

 

[Pikaville]

I find Halo to be more of a rush for the power weapons kinda game.

Also certain people getting host can be painful, to the point where you have no chance of out shooting them.

Yeah, if you don't get the power weapons/ups then you're at a serious dis-advatange.

In MW2, you don't have to do that. Thank god.

 

[Cyan_]

I really don't know where he'd be so lucky.

I'm sure there's online deals for cheap gaming headsets for brands like Logitech.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Speaking of headsets, I've been curious lately. I use turtle beaches right now, but I've heard a lot of positive feedback regarding Trittons. They're more expensive, that's for sure, however I don't know what that has to do with the quality of the headset compared to turtle beaches. Really wanna try them and compare though.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Halo Reach nuked this game back on 9/14

 

[Delta-cod]

Wooooooow. Finished with the FAL, went to the M16.

Why is this game so easy now?

 

[SnackAttack]

So, I know no one cares, but my KDR is offically........................

Spoiler

1.14

Whaddya expect, I'm bad!

 

[Gifts]

When MW2 first came out all I did was knife so it brought my KD to like a .75

Mines riding steady at a 1.08 right now and I'm pretty happy.

 

[Pikaville]

Halo Reach nuked this game hahahahaha.

That's pretty funny.

 

[Fletch]

Are there a lot less people playing on the xbox servers now because of Reach?

Anyways, I'm finding Bioshock 2's multiplayer surprisingly fun, so I think I'm going to stick with that until Black Ops comes out. I'll stay subscribed to this thread and be happy to answer any questions on weapon/game stats as always.

 

[F8AL]

My K/D ratio in MW2 is currently 2.03. It won't increase/decrease for a while since I won't be playing it cause of Reach.

@ Fletch: Thanks for your help dude! Really appreciate it!
