Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ('Terminal' - the 17th for Elite / 18th for non-Elite)

[SnackAttack]

Recon is the best perk in the game.

Quickdraw is a close second.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

Recon is the best perk in the game.

Quickdraw is a close second.

I would care to disagree. Recon is nice and all but it's not as good as some other perks imo

 

[SnackAttack]

Are you a SoH guy?

 

[F8AL]

Does SoH dominate in MW3 like it did in Black Ops?

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

Are you a SoH guy?

I am. Feel free to insult me or whatever but soh helps a lot when you rush.

 

[SnackAttack]

I am. Feel free to insult me or whatever but soh helps a lot when you rush.

SoH isn't bad by any means. I just prefer Recon.

 

[F8AL]

Does recon mark the enemies for the whole team or just you? Is the recon drone good?

 

[SnackAttack]

It marks for everyone. And yes, the Recon Drone is pretty good IMO.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Soh is the only perk that appears in all 5 of my custom classes

 

[O D I N]

I'll give my own two cents on the perks.


Tier 1:
Recon - Getting the pro version is a pain, but you can also use your tac grenades to help. The pro version makes it worth it. Combine it with Hardline. <3 It makes it worth it for objective/defensive roles.

Extreme Conditioning - The lack of infinite sprint makes this MEH. I still use it for my knife class, but it's still Pro version is eh.

Blind Eye - Pro version is nice I guess. Faster lock on, makes it a good combo with Hardline to take out Enemy Airshows.

Sleight of Hand - Decent. I usually go with this or Scavenger. Pro version is negligible. I run stingers.
Scavenger - Same as it's always been. YOU CAN PICK UP THROWING KNIVES. But you CAN'T resupply grenades or tac grenades. So... Basically only worth for ammo *****s.

Tier 2:
Blast Shield - Handy for those afraid of explosives. Pro version is nice.

Quickdraw - Now we're talking. Next to hardline, the next best in this tier.
Hardline - My favorite. Pro version is the best.
Assassin - A lot of people say OP, but I use it on the run. :shrug: I usually use this as an unlock in my specialist.
Overkill - Lol

Tier 3:
Stalker - Eh. Pro version is nice, but otherwise I don't see the need for it other than a kick *** emblem.
Marksmen - The identify at long range is nice. Not much else. Lol at pro version.
Sitrep - Self explantory. Best next to Dead Silence.
Steady Aim - Not bad. Combine Pro with Quick Draw for speedy ADS on the run?
Dead Silence - Best in the tier. Pro version makes it worth it.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

why isn't anyone using claymores in this game?

so far, stalker pro seems borderline useless against the people i've played with.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Probly cause they haven't unlocked them yet

 

[rhan]

SoH, Sav, Recon.

Quick draw deserves an honorable mention.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Uploaded my first game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1PCaa5JHro

I'm gonna get around to the one game with a full team of SWF people and possibly put it up on the team channel.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Assassin is the best perk in the game by far what the heck are you guys on right now?

 

[:mad:]

what about the acr? i'm trying to find a strong assault rifle

The ACR is my favorite gun at the moment. I'd definitely recommend it.

It's good to have you back! :')

It's good to be back.

Assassin is the best perk in the game by far what the heck are you guys on right now?

Yeah nothing really comes close in tier 2 perks. Quickdraw is cute and all but if you don't know where I am, it doesn't really help.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

played ffa for a while today and finish top 3 every game and won about half of them.
on any map where you can avoid being out in the open, i've found this to be an amazing loadout.

pp90 with suppressor and rapidfire
five seven or pp9 i forget. really handy either way.
claymore, flash/stun
soh, ***, steady
uav, ims, copter

Probably because it Hardline Pro pretty much nullifies it. There's no point to Assassin when all it does is make you immune to some of the Support Package, and all the other packages are useless against Support and a Stinger, and Support doesn't care how much times you kill them.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

the prevalence of heartbeat sensors also makes assassin worth it though

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

How come no one told me the Skorpion was decent?

All I've been seeing is using !Launcher as your secondary is bad

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

The point is, why throw nades/flashes faster and ADS faster when I can just use assassin and be completely immune to basically everything? It's not even a tradeoff....it's just pointless to use anything but assassin with the UAV spam (and the fact that it makes you immune to CUAV just makes it that much better).

Overpowered perk is overpowered.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

mp9 for best machine pistol imo

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

I never see heartbeat sensors lol

I've stopped using UAV as a killstreak reward on most of my classes because of how useless it is now with all of the Assassin use.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I personally think Quickdraw is pretty good. ADS faster is pretty useful.

You've got it backwards. Some of the main support killstreaks (UAV, adv UAV, and even EMP) are completely useless against assassin. And sure people may be able to shoot down a simple helicopter with a stinger but as people get better higher assault killstreaks will become more consistent, and we all know how easy it is to shoot down an AC130... (sarcasm)

People are catching on and using assassin more and more. In fact just last night i went up against a full team of 6 using assassin so when i got a UAV nobody showed up at all. Because of this I pretty much never run support anymore.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Care package *****, you get wayyy more good stuff in this game than the previous ones (unless I just got really lucky today) the lowest package I've gotten is a pred and ive gotten 2x ac130, strafe run, assault drone, overwatch, and 3x pred in the last two games

They don't call them "skill packages" for nothing.

 

[Fuelbi]

I never get anything good from them. Every time I used one I got pred missiles and UAVs and only got an assault drone and juggernaut once, which people stole from me because I saw on their killcams that they literally spawned a room away from me and killed me behind my back and I kept dying like 10 times in a desperate attack for the crate before they stole it

It takes 2 Stinger bullets to destroy an AC-130, meaning the AC-130 can shoot 2 bullets max if you run Sleight of Hand. Recon Pro would also help greatly I assume.

Plus, EMP will still knock out streaks regardless of what you use, and Stealth Bomber and Recon Drone both don't care about Assassin and good luck getting an AC-130 when the entire enemy team can see you on radar constantly.

On a different note, I just got that medal (The Mastadon) for playing an entire match and ending with a 5:1 K/D, and another medal (The Harder They Fall) for killing the top player in the enemy team 5 times in a row.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Yeah I don't use care packages on tdm cause of the spawns, I was using them in Dom

 

[Fuelbi]

Lol this guy is getting mad at me for spraying with the super soaker with rapid fire and steady aim and now he's threatening to report me for the way I'm playing

Only 2? It was 3 in MW2. =/

 

[Grandeza]

LOL I love the super soaker so much. Only gun I really enjoy in MW3, not that I've tried much of anything else.

And as a question to everyone, in your opinion on PP90M1 should I use:

Kick + Rapid Fire

or

Rapid Fire + Extended Mags

 

[Fuelbi]

I'm gonna say Kick + Rapid Fire because without the Kick proficiency, the super soaker really does go crazy with the recoil and the Kick keeps it in check

And damn I ****ing love the super soaker. It's like the only gun I've been using for the game so far and I already know what I'm using my prestige token on. I'm even almost done getting gold camo on it. I have like half a level left to go

 

[LumpyCPU...]

kick was great, but then i swapped it out for rapid fire and suppressor.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Type95 + Rapid fire + Suppressor = closest thing to sex while playing MW3.

 

[Wretched]

I couldn't agree with you more.
It is the beastiest gun in this game. I use red dot and range proficiency on it, but to each his own.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

I've never equipped the super soaker minus picking it up from enemies
