I'll go ahead and post my most common ones.

Killstreaks

Setup 1.
Counter UAV
Precision Airstrike
Pave Low

Setup 2.
Predator
Harrier
Stealth Bomber

Setup 3.
Predator
Harrier
Pave Low/Chopper Gunner

Andddd I just got Blue Tiger for my SCAR. I'm 8 away from Extended Mags. The SCAR needs it.

i use predator / harrier / pave low
i usually get it.
This is by far, the best killstreak IMO. It is not difficult to get, considering you only need 9 kills without dying. And on a map like Wasteland or Afghan it'll work wonders. Plus you will have so much Air Dominance, they won't even be able to spawn.

Win.

Ahh im getting frustrated with this game.

I just dunno how i die sometimes
At times, this game will make you feel like the most unlucky person in the world whether it's getting spawn rapped, grenade spammed, or getting killed right when you were about to get a high ks reward.

About the shotguns, in my opinion since they were so ****ty in COD4, they're sort of "making up" with them. Dual-Rangers=**** Camping.
Nobody hate on the Monkeys.
You only considered shotguns to be "****ty" in CoD4 because they were only effective at close range. (like shotguns are only supposed to be)

What is everyone's killstreak set up?
Im a team player so I use UAV, to alert everyone, EAD, to combo **** everyone, and Predator to chain to EAD. What about you guys?
Predator missile
Harrier strike
AC-130

Swap that care package for a counter UAV. Itll do the team a lot more good.
I disagree. Care Packages get your team a UAV at LEAST. I've had an AC130 from a Care Package twice in SnD games, and I can tell you that we won because of this.

He can even get an EMP, which will really help a team out.

How realistic a shotgun is in MW2 is completely irrelevant. If all of the guns were like their real life counterparts then a 50. Cal would be able to take off an arm if the bullet as much as grazed your skin.

It never stays the same. If someone knows how to handle and weapon and has good control over it, I doubt there would be a lot of recoil. If a common schoolgirl tried to shoot it, the firearm would fly out of her arms.

You can use an Assault Rifle to shoot them from far away.
In most maps, you will encounter a opponent usually in medium range. You have three options with limited time when you find a opponent in this situation, assuming you have a assault rifle and he/she has akimbo 1887s.

1. Runaway
2. Simply aim and shoot to accurately take down him/her down.
3. Get closer for a knife kill.

By the time you start aiming and shooting, you're already shot down. Why? Akimbo 1887s can kill at this range without aiming down your sights. The shotgun also literally clears anything in the cross airs at close-medium range. Don't even think about going for a knife kill, you'll be long dead before then. So, in this range, the best option is probably to run away, if you can outrun your enemy.

I going to have to agree they need to be toned down a tad. However, they still should be the strongest of the shotguns simply because they take some time to take out and there is some time you have to wait before you shoot another bullet (Moreso than the other shotguns). Right now, it's overpowered at CLOSE range.

But how realistic/accurate a shotgun's range is relevant. Shotguns are meant to ONLY be effective at close range, not medium. IW just failed with their internal beta. If a public beta were to be released like CoD4 and WaW, then they would find out ahead of time that akimbo 1887s were effective at medium ranges.

Fine, I don't expect MW2 to be 100% accurate, but at least have the common sense to only make shotguns good at close range.

Most people I encounter using 1887's are using Marathon on them as well. So runaway might not work. You either have "Got away Safely" Or "Can't Escape!"

All you could do in COD4 was use Pistols ;_;
Big improvment imo. Raffica=Love...
Sometimes if I ran out of ammo (SCAR:mad:) I'd whip out my PP2000 and keep my streak going a wee bit longer. And most don't even outclass primary weapons T_T

Some examples maybi?

I unlocked my AK earlier and got Blue Tiger for it in the same day. Looks good.

I wish the Rust games won't be patched. I'm trying to finish my AC130/Chopper Gunner challenges.

I think the idea for multiple secondaries is cool too, I just don't think they should be able to outclass primaries. The 1887s completely remove any need for SMGs the way they are now. They can OHKO with more range than an SMG can be used effectively to kill in 2-3 bullets. They also have quite a bit more range than the SPAS, and can be used Akimbo. Too OP.

That's what I was referring to when I said a secondary shouldn't outclass a primary. =P

I haven't even played a game of FFA yet so that still makes me undefeated amiright? :laugh:

But I agree with the above comments stating that IW went a little overboard on making shotguns "usable" in MW2.

In fact, is anyone else up for the idea of ditching Akimbo completely? I feel the game would be a lot more fun without it and shotguns are still very, very good without it.

Yeah, so? That was good. It made snipers vulnerable to close quartered combat. If I could have a M16/MP5 as my secondary weapon as a sniper then I would but I understand why they only allow pistols. To balance the game out. I hate it how everyone in MW2 can have a shotgun(s) as their secondary weapon...makes snipers more deadly.

Of course. I'm surprised they didn't allow akimbo on any weapon in the game. (*images dual-wielding m16's.*)

Akimbo FALs.

Quite possibly the most broken concept in the game. These would need to be patched.

...What?
I'll just assume you used sarcasm there. Akimbo Interventions would be awful considering they're Semi-Automatic and would be unable to scope(being Akimbo and whatnot)

They're not even semi-auto, they're like, bolt action. XD

Besides, everyone knows akimbo RPDs would be the best.

Imagine that spray...

I wish SMGs were actually good in this game. I love that P90 so much but I hate going like -5 because I insist on having fun. Is there no way to make the smgs even a third as good as the ARs?

SMGs have very little purpose in this game. They get destroyed by shotguns/matched by machine pistols at close range and don't stand a change against ARs at medium-long range.

Heck even LMGs are better choices than SMGs now.

It really pisses me off. I love the guns for the fun aspect but its not fun being destroyed time and time again. It would be nice if you got like a 105% speed increase while using them or maybe an unlockable grip attachment or something. I just want to be able to use them.
