So what's you're guys' current favorite kit to use? I know I myself use different ones for different maps based on range. But, unless it's a map that almost requires sniping (i.e. Wasteland) I'm loving the FAL w/ Holographic, Shotgun attachments with my silenced M9 with FMJ as my secondary. Very versatile combo.
 
Barrett .50 cal w/ silencer + thermal
G18 w/ silencer and RDS
Smokes
Semtex

Bling Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Steady Aim Pro

Works a charm on pretty much every map. :) The G18 has insane recoil though, so I might swap it for the PP2000 at some point.

Failing that, P90 + akimbo Rangers for close-quarters. :D

I'm the opposite. I go sniper hunting on that map. :D

My current favorite set up:

ACR or M4 with red dot
AA12(I think is called, auto-shotty)
Claymore

Marathon
Stopping Power
Ninja
 
I have been addicted to this combo for weeks now...

Primary: ACR
(M203)
(FMJ)

Secondary: G18
(Akimbo)
(FMJ)

Throwing Knife
2x Flash

Bling Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Commando Pro

Matyrdom

Akimbo G18s are very effective and fun if you remember to take the recoil into account.... But Ive cleared rooms easily with them in maps like Skidrow...
 
I seen smoke in one set up and it reminded me of a tip to share. Lets say your on highrise and someone throws a smoke and your inside the building sniping, can't see for a bit right? Wrong! Pull out your pistol and shoot the window once and it will spider crack all over, once you do that you will see as if there is no smoke there at all! Try it in private, throw the smoke and then pop the window once and walk in front of the cracked window then move over to a window that isn't cracked, smoke everywhere and no visibility. Some people might know this, some may not, hopefully it helps someone out.
 
Hmmm... I had a terible night last night on core. So bad infact, that I now flatly refuse to play any core game modes until the ridiculous lag problem is sorted out. It doesnt seem to be a problem in hardcore though.

Case in point. I have taken to using the RPD in core now as it simply takes too many rounds to drop a guy. I shot three guys, and was about to shoot a forth, and after about 3 rounds I had to reload the gun - that was an average of 30 rounds to drop each guy! When I get a good game, it only takes around 4 or 5 rounds from the RPD to drop a guy. IW also need to sort out the matchmaking problems, becuase there are many.

@ Sharky:

Whats the point of having a silencer on your sniper rifle if you haven't got the 'cold-blooded' perk? I also find that, especially in core, that ANY silencer on a sniper rifle is counter productive, and at medium to long range, requires a headshot to register a kill.

My 3 favourite gun setups are:

RPD core: grip, thumper, 2x flash, 1x semtex (or C4), marathon pro, stopping power pro, scrambler pro.

Famas ghost: RDS, silencer, 2x flash, 1x semtex, M93 with RDS, and silencer, bling pro, cold-blooded pro, ninja pro.

Scar ghost: silencer or m203, 2 x flash, 1x semtex, m93 with silencer or thumper, scavenger pro, cold-blooded pro, ninja pro.

Although I use flashes, I am going to swithc to using stun grnades. Orginally, with COD4, I favoured flashes, and so with MW2, but I noticed a curious side effect from stun grenades that makes them far more effective. If you like to air burst your flashes, switch to stuns because even if they only slightly affect the target, the sights of the person who was stunned sway quite dramatically. This is very handy if you want to attack an area. This effect doesn't happen with flashes though, so you can gain an immediate advantage by switching from flashes to stuns. 👍
 
I agree with the silenced sniper, I had one on the .50 and even with stopping power it just turned the gun into a .22cal. A .50 should be one shot one kill silencer or not.

Yes it should, it took three hits today to take a guy down. The first two injured him and the third got him with he was in Final Stand. The funniest part about that though, was the fact he was in prone and facing me so all I could see was his head.
 
@magburner: Funny you should mention Cold-Blooded, as that was what I originally had on the class. As soon as I swapped it for Stopping Power I scored more kills. Improved efficiency > slightly increased steathiness.
 
Okay, I just saw someone here uses Scrambler. Can you please explain to me why? All it does is let me know someone is near me that is an enemy with it. I find it more ironic when people use it with cold blooded.
 
I dunno, from time to time i do get fooled by scrambler. It's usually effective when you're hiding in a two story building. You can't deny that when you see scrambler in effect, you focus more on walking around trying to find that person rather than taking a more cautious approach. That usually comes back to bite me.
 
@ Breakpoint:

I find that sniping in core is pretty pointless because of the issues surrounding the use of a silencer. The Barretts is particularly weak, though if you can hit the head and sometimes the upper body, you can get a kill, though it is by no means certain.

@ Sharky: I hear what your saying, but I find that not having any means to hide your prescence, your sniping spot is quite often rumbled.

If you really like sniping, you should try playing hardcore headquarters. I have a whale of a time in that game mode, as the heat is off you, with the opposing team generally going for the objective. You wouldn't believe some of the places I have sniped from, and seen others sniping from. It is entirely possible (with cold-blooded pro and a silencer), to literally hide in plain view, and register kills with only the very astute being able to fix your comfy position! 👍

In core, it doesn't really matter if you use scrambler, because unless your using colde-blooded and a silencer, it is not too hard for the opposing team to triangulate your position. I personally don't use scrambler to hide my positon, but rather to force the oppsing player to think where I may be. I find in core that a majority of players rely heavily on the radar, denying them that luxury is worth its weight in kills, and can often mean the difference between life and death. The scambler has its uses, as it has it flaws, but I find that it is a reliable passive defence system, though I never use it in hardcore. 👍
 
I usually do all my sniping in HC but sometimes I pull it out in regular. I enjoy HC more than regular also though, unless its a campfest in that room then its just annoying. I always like sniping in HCHQ because of what you said, thats how I got allot of my unlocks for the sniping challenges in COD4 :) Everyone rushes to the HQ and I stand back and pick them off when they are running towards it. Somehow I was always good at getting really close to the next HQ spot, I would look at where the current one is and run away from it and usually end up right next to the next one. 60% of the time it works every time ;)

To get the heartbreaker title! At least that's the only reason I used it...:sly:
 
Wow, I won the MVP Deathmatch accolade just before (top score overall in TDM)... courtesy of a PB 22-2-15 at Wasteland in a GW TDM.

Needless to say, I imagine the opposing team got sick of my AT4-HS with Danger Close very very quickly. :lol: Firing that thing into the tunnel will net you a lot of kills very quickly; I was 6-0 after I'd fired off only two missiles (with Scavenger to resupply loadout) :cool:
 
Called in my first nuke last night. I was so pumped. It was a ground war domination game in Favela - we controlled A and C, and their whole team was fighting to keep B defended. Called in a Harrier over B, got Chopper Gunner, game over. Awesome - only took about 110 levels' worth of work...
 
Failed horribly. Apparently the game isnt working and I havent played it all day. I joined 5 games in a row and they all ended like so:

Play for a bit and then the game will start to lag while saying you have (colour) connection, this happens to everyone and then you get booted to lobby with a message saying lost connection to host. There are other people with mics who also have the same problem so it isnt just my connection. It then resets all the stats from the game back to 0. That can be good or bad, if you are on a huge killstreak like a team member was it can be bad but for me it was good cause I was on a huge death streak.

EDIT: Forgot about funny picture:

Dunno if it just happened to you, but I got signed out of PSN mid-way through a cage match, and couldn't sign in for a minute or two.

edit: and it happened again. Odd.

My thing said that I was signed out of PSN by some error. BUT.... it lets me finish the match. :lol: It signed me out then, but I was able to get back on, no problem.

My game was REALLY up & down tonight. Started the night with the k/d of 1.97, only to work it down to 1.93. :lol: Then, I decided to play just one game before I called it a night. I get on Karachi match(sounds like Karate match!), scores already like 2,000-something to 1,600, something like that. I'm flashing red most of the match, but for whatever reason(probably connection), they can't kill me, and I go 28-1. :D That bumped me back up to 1.95, I'm a happy camper(no pun intended).

On that little comic strip, I think it's little lame, just because as much as we play CoD, I think we can come up with much, much funnier strip than that. I'm tempted to make one myself. I have created funny top ten lists before, like "a6m5's top ten excuse for camping". "My M60 got stuck in the greenhouse, couldn't get out", "Somebody knifed me, I was just looking for some band-aid in the kitchen", "I'm not going out there, they are shooting at each other!", etc. lol
 
Oh so that is also not just me. If you sign out in a match it does let you finish it and it has been happening to me today along with the errors.
 
It never let me finish my matches, it always sent me back to the main menu 15 sec after the sign out :confused:
 
When I started playing, I never thought it possible... but I've scored the Flawless accolade three times now, twice at Afghan...

In fact I played Afghan followed by Rundown and got 29-0-1 combined (bearing in mind I only play HCTDM), which cheered me somewhat.
 
It is. I tell you, sitting in my second sniper spot at Afghan while an AC-130 bombarded my position because a teammate was close by without Cold-Blooded, as the last 45s counted down was heart-attack-inducing stuff.
 
How awesome would it be to make Rangers into Phillies and Spetnaz into Zenit St. Petersburg?
 
I am useless. That is all. Well, almost.

But I am improving, and all snipers have to start somewhere.

I want to be like Hutch, though maybe not in terms of arrogance, but it is understandable.....



:irked:👍
