I really don't see why people get annoyed with marathon/lightweight combo. It really not an issue with me, now before when the super running speed glitch was going with the care package I could see the valid complaint because you ran so freaking fast, but just how it is now you don't move like flash. On my rushing class I use marathon/lightweight/ninja. I don't like the tac knife, I seem to do much better with the regular knife. For some reason the tac knife throws off my timing and I usually miss my knife on the first attempt, and also I don't like running around with a pistol out instead I like to have my smg I have. Commando I do have a problem with though, they have "fixed" all of these other problems so far, so why haven't they "fixed" commando yet!?
I run Ninja Pro on my Marathon/Lightweight class also. Not hearing the loud noise caused by sprinting has been helpful for me.
Pretty much how I feel about the whole combination, it's the commando that makes it cheap rather then the lightweight/marathon in itself. Even the pro add on for commando, no fall damage, I have no issue with, it's just the stupid lunge which makes people seemingly invincible for a kick off and the range is absurd. I don't have a problem with noob tubes either unless people treat it like a primary (danger close is basically a huge sign of this).
The biggest annoyance I have with Commando is the ability to cause the opponent to seemingly teleport through bullets. I am annoyed at putting two or three bullets into the person and then dieing as the "kill" bullet fails to leave the gun. It is very frustrating to watch a bright red screen on the kill cam in those situations. Granted, a way to counter Commando is a shotgun and that is usually very effective, but not every situation dictates having one out. My biggest issue with Commando is the lack of effectiveness of assault rifles and at least the UMP45 have against the perk; those weapons do not pump out the damage fast enough in close quarters. A nice change to Commando would be a lesser lunge distance as the character is closer to death.
I hate how people are though in this game. Unless you use the worst weapons in the game, you're called a noob. If you use any attachments that give an advantage, you're called a noob. Example: "Hey, I've got a Barret .50 with thermal scope". "Noob, you should use the Intervention with the standard scope like what all sniper pros do".
I hate this also, I don't considering anything "noobish" other than maybe the tube, and I only consider that in that way if I keep getting killed by the person using it over and over because obviously they can't aim and are just spamming with that stupid tube
I like my .50 cal with the thermal scope, I also like it without it, it depends on what I feel like using that day or sometimes what map I am on. If using a certain item etc. that is supplied to me in the game makes me a "noob" then noob I am I guess, most of the time people that call me such have a much lower KD than I do anyways so jog off is what I tell them.
I agree with this.
A good majority of the time when I die by a grenade launcher, it is a good shot by whoever did it. I know the majority of my grenade launcher kills come from situations when I cannot quite hit the enemy with bullets, know there is a person in the particular area, and if I use the grenade launcher, then I might be able to get a kill. If anything, many of the grenade launcher kills I have seen are anything but "noob".
It was the same way in CoD4. That was the first time I had heard of the grenade launcher being referred to as a "noob tube". M16 was a noob gun. P90 with silencer was a noob gun. Camping was bad, except when they did it. Snipers were lowlifes, also if you chucked three frag grenades, or ran around with RPGs. Claymores? You & your immediate family would be damned to hell.
The noob gun complaints ran rampant in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 with regards to the FAMAS. The P90 got a bit of complaining, but not near what the FAMAS received. The other big complaint in that game was grenades and how explosives were "noob" to use.
That's just in CoD4, and I'm sure I've missed a couple. The point is, you can't please everybody, unfortunately. My approach to this is that you gotta do what you gotta do. If it's in the game, it's not cheating. I've abused OneManArmy before. I've also complained about how ridiculous commando perk was, or the 1887 had rifle like range. You do what you gotta do.
I refuse to use Last Stand/Final Stand out of principle. I am super annoyed when anyone on the other team has it on. I am especially annoyed when encountering two opponents, the first one you "kill" has it on, and you end up dieing because of the perk, when you otherwise would have had two kills.
The L86 has great damage, good for SnD ,where you don't want to lose any gunfights, and I use Bling for it so I can swap the iron sight for a red dot and a grip, which help out a lot.
The L86 does have nice damage. Even with the Grip, it still has more recoil than the other LMGs, or so it seems to me. Eh on second thought, I need to give the weapon another go. I have only around 25 kills with the weapon, which is not exactly a large enough sample set to give it full judgment.
Talking of LMGs, a good while back, I was using a Bling RPD with Grip and Red Dot Sight. My team was hit with an EMP, except it did not really affect me because the RPD still has iron sights visible.
Good performance from GTP tonight
