I wish I had more time to play...as soon as finals are over I'm going to start leveling in earnest.

In other news, Dave doesn't want my XBox. Any takers?

[G.Irish]

My setup is very similiar to yours, however im a very good grenade/AH4S guy. In fact I would be willing to bet 50% of my kills come from that, every round I ever win ive got the awards for grenades/rockets/explosions in addition to whatever else I earn.

The SCAR-H I love and use. I have the grenade launcher attachment that is absolutely brutal and really helps especially on domination maps. I have the Perk of more damage for explosions so if I use grenade/grenade launcher/a4hs, I clear anyone that is trying to capture a flag without even seeing them. Yeah its cheap, but it goddamn works.

I'll definitely try that on Domination next time.

I also use the MA2000 as my sniper rifle. I hated the barret and was so glad when I got access to the MA2000 with thermal.

What do you like better about the MA2000? Less recoil? Can it kill people in one-shot?

[D_Eclipse9916]

Yeah one-shot is fine, but its gotta be more than just the chest, takes two shots to the chest, but whats great is it is a "double tap" so I double tap any shot that I make just to make sure. Ive gotten a lot of one-shots so it doesnt take much.

What Perk/Weapon loadouts are people using now in MW2? Here are the two main ones I use:

I've stuck mainly to the assault rifles with an occasional SMG game or two thrown in. I think the M4 is great, I had no problem quickly racking up kills with it. It seemed to remain fairly accurate while fully automatic.

The SCAR is awesome, but the clip is too small so i feel as though I run through ammo real quick with it.

I just switched it up to the FAMAS and surprizingly enjoyed the 3 round burst. I'm not usually a fan of the 3 round, either single shot (G3 or the FAL) or full auto. It is accurate and powerful enough that one burst takes down a baddie and it doesn't blow through ammo like the SCAR.

I've been really impressed with the sleight of hand perk - it was mediocre at best in MW, it actually makes an improvement this time around. Hardline is pretty sweet as well, but i just started messing around with the "stealth" perks - ninja, coldblood, jammer

I actually really like domination - the flags force people to move more than just deathmatch and it encourages firefights, which is kinda the point of the game. Some people will camp by the flag, but i've yet to see anyone really last long doing that - not many maps allow it.

[REED]

also this game is killing my sleeping habits - i stay up later on weeknights playing this then when im out on the weekends. I've gotten like 8 hours of sleep over the last 2 nights

reed, what's your gt?

[HAULN-SS]

I use the M4 with Bling Pro as my assualt rifle. I am using the thermal scope and the grenade launcher. This is a pretty good setup. My other perks are Cold Blooded and some other crap. My secondary is the Auto Pistol you get after the G18..can't remember what it's called.

My other setup is the Barret with stopping power, thermal scope, FMJ. This is basically a one hit kill, even through walls. I carry the stinger as secondary with this. I am able to no-scope guys pretty good with this setup too, and the barrets semi-autoness is great for a double tap, but if you miss, and wait, your shit is all over the place. I am a pretty badass sniper on highrise and afghan and the map witht he house on the hill.

[HAULN-SS]

Oh yeah, forgot..i had a badass SMG setup too, which I used for a long time before switching to assault rifles. Used the vector with faster firing + quick reload + silencer. This is a heck of a way to burn through ammo, and it maxes out the fire rate for the gun. The bullets dont do much damage, but there are a lot of them. This with some of the stealth perks was awesome.

[G.Irish]

Has anyone run into people doing the Javelin glitch yet? There were some idiots doing that last night and it really started to get annoying. At first you're like 'huh, wtf just happened?' Then you start to get tired of these suicide bombers running up to you and blowing up your whole team. In the end if you could shoot them early it wasn't bad, but I have to think they were killing more than they were getting killed with that tactic.

[D_Eclipse9916]

^^^ asplain?

[Sijray21]

there's also a glitch with the Jugernauts in Co-Op mode. if your dead partner is between you and a Jugernaut they cannot kill/shoot you, but you can kill/shoot it.

atleast for PS3, not sure for XBOX

[G.Irish]

Search for Javelin Glitch. People get the Javelin and Semtex. Take out Javelin, aim, pull the pin on the semtex, then switch to another weapon. When you get killed the Javelin explodes. So you could run into a building full of the other team and let them kill you so the explosion can kill all of them. Or you could jump off a building and cause an explosion. Or let someone stab you...

I've heard of it, seems cheap to me.

Plus, I certainly don't need any help dying...

[Mike]

they're banning xbl accounts for using the javelin glitch.

[WRXtranceformed]

Supposedly there's a knifing setup that is the best way to kill people. My buddy saw a guy doing it who went like 36 and 3, he then tried it and went like 24-2. You basically set up everything to be as light as possible, do the marathon perk and a couple of others. I was skeptical but apparently you run too fast for people to be able to aim and you literally dive at people to knife them just like the energy sword in Halo. My buddy said he ran around a room and purposely made this guy waste two clips full of ammo trying to hit him, then he knifed him :lol:

[G.Irish]

Yeah the tactical knife. I was trying to level up my .44 to get it, but it's a major mfn pain in the ass trying to kill people with a pistol. The .44 drops people pretty well but you're still going to lose most of the time against an automatic weapon. I at least unlocked akimbo last night so now it's a lot easier to kill people without just sneaking up on them.

But yeah I've played against a few slash and dash dudes and they're pretty fucking difficult to kill depending on the angle they come at you. I think with maybe marathon, lightweight, and ninja pro it'd be serious business because even someone with a heartbeat sensor wouldn't know you're coming. Hell, with cold-blooded and ninja I've knived whole rooms of dudes. I can't imagine how badass it'd be with the tac knife. Fuck, I've got work to do when I get home but...

[HAULN-SS]

I will +1 the perk that makes you stab farther..it's basically a must have for any setup that is like an SMG/shorter range kinda thing.

[WRXtranceformed]

So I watched my buddy do that knife setup last night for a game or two...he went 20 something and 6 and like 33 and 20 on a more open map haha...awesome!

reed, what's your gt?
