That would be the logical way of thinking, but often it doesn't turn out that way
And RPD for life yo!
I knew I could count on you. RPD buddies!
RPD is a rusky weapon
the onlt acceptable LMG's are ameriguns
I'm going to jump on now for some multiplayer, but if anyone fancies some
SpecOps I am totally down for that.

Edit: AUG all the way. The RPD doesn't do enough damage for how inaccurate it is. I can't put my finger on it, but in MW1 it was essentially a sniper rifle with iron sights and a 100-round magazine, and now it just isn't. The AUG, on the other hand, is super goddamn accurate, reloads quickly, and has perfect sights, so I can use scavenger instead of bling.
That makes much more sense, thanks. I'd totally forgotten about the steel rain.

That match I joined before you got off earlier the entire team was like, "Man, that Wolfslap is too good! I can't get anywhere near him. He keeps killing me at B." I kindly told them you were a girl with giant breasts and a huge ass of which I think they all believed simply by you being on my friends list.

The M240 disagrees
The M240 is the Mitt Romney of this discussion.

Definitely but like Mitt no ones talking about it.

It's no ACR, that's for sure.
SMG with AR attachments.
It's pretty much terrible.
Anyone notice how some things (mattresses and the copy machines in Highrise) are totally impenetrable? A steel wall, yeah that makes sense, but bullets should obliterate copy machines.
I had a BS moment due to this when I was walking up a set of stairs and tried killing someone through a wooden hand rail only to find my bullets could not penetrate the wood or the gaps in the wood. I died soon after when he finally turned and hit me in the face with a grenade launcher.
I don't know about you, but I always buy a bullet proof printer. Its a lot more expensive, but I think the advantages are apparent.
This made me lol way too hard. Sigg'd.

also, good games people I played with tonight.
Any Sniper Rifle (for the ghillie)
Any Pistol w/Tactical Knife (to gut dudes)
Smoke Grenade
Throwing Knife
Marathon
Cold-Blooded
Ninja
Now, I know what you're thinking - basically all I'm doing is running around knifing, right? Not really, or I'd use Lightweight and Commando.
The thing is on Underpass there are a lot of little corners with bushes in them in areas with moderate foot traffic. Use the ghillie suit and crouch or lay in a bush and you're almost completely invisible with all the stealth perks. As soon as you see someone run past, lunge out and eviscerate them. Then hide in a different bush close by so that when they inevitably come back to investigate, you lunge from that bush and butcher them again.
It plays like a badass stealth ninja. I've gone 20-0 with this (with the help of an AC130 of course). Literally the only time I die like this is when a guy runs past and I gut him only to be shot in the back by his buddy that was tailing him. This is the true knife build, the way it was supposed to be.
Thats the build I usually use in standard DM. Just because everyone trusts their radar too much.
For those amused by torrents of this drivel:
The AUG is what the other guns want to be when they grow up.

You can't burst fire with, it simply doesn't do enough damage per burst often taking three to four bursts to kill someone. You will be shot down. You can spray with it, but you'll be blinded by the muzzle flash at any appreciable range and incredibly inaccurate unless you're using a silencer. A silencer/grip can keep you accurate and able to see but then you're pretty much screwed for ammo; as you cannot scavenge or one-man-army (which is actually sort of neat with the gun, it is faster to use one-man-army pro than reload.) The M240 simply devours ammunition.
I'd really like a good fast firing machine gun but I simply cannot make the M240 work. The LSW or whatever seems so much better as you don't sacrifice damage and can use things like burst or spray pretty well.
I'll throw my hat in with the RPD; however I have the mastery for both of them. They're both damn fine weapons; but if you want an LMG, go with the RPD. The AUG HBAR feels like an assault rifle with extended mags. It's powerful, but it sort of strays out of the LMG feel.
You should be using the M249, you know...
so to tone down the "action" / hollywood blockbuster explosion-fest that mw2 has become, hc is a nice change of pace. it doesn't go +100 kill, +50 payback!, +50 buzzkill!, etc. aesthetically, i appreciate that the screen isn't covered with your experience bar, weapon ammo, who just called in a pavelow, etc.
with hc, any weapon is good, so you don't need to use stopping power. most weapons kill almost instantly, so you don't need to spray ACR for a few seconds. all my non-hc builds use stopping power. all my hc builds use cold-blooded, which is fun.
the obvious downside is that hc has a lot more camping, and is much less practical for the run and gun playstyle that i'm used to. i've heard complaints on this forum that people shoot you and take your killstreak rewards - which is just messed up. i think putting ricochet (your friendly fire comes back to you) in hc tdm would help.
in non-hc mw2, i've played primarily tdm and ground war (tdm and domination). demolition is a fun mode too.
Do you get anything for finding all the laptops? Is there a good way to do it other than just looking them all up?
Is 100% completion all laptops and all missions on veteran?
Do you get anything for
Edit: Oh yeah, and since I got through some of the spec ops with a friend, I was totally expecting Juggernauts to pop up in the campaign and be a minor story item somewhere: "specially developed armor suits, thousands of hours of research" or somesuch, but I never remember seeing them or hearing about them at all. Did they appear in campaign at all?
Juggernauts only appear on the after-credits mission, and having not played SpecOps, I was really confused by these guys in suits showing up all of a sudden.

The care package that he'd dropped in the exact centre of Skidrow and had died trying to collect, and that I was amazed I was able to pick up without the same thing happening. The care package that he got an XP bonus for me picking up, and that won us the match (as well as netting me the 'call in five Harriers' bonus).
What a prick.
Oh, also, I remember someone asking in the previous thread how to get the Grassy Knoll title. I got it early tonight, and I'm pretty sure it was for getting 30 headshots with the Barrett sniper.

I imagine it'll be for x number of headshots with any sniper, but that was the one I got it with.
