Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

None of them are really awful, to be honest. I just don't like the Mac-11.
what makes the 74u overpowered is it's high damage over range coupled with the fact that it has the most predictable recoil of all the SMG's. I highly doubt Treyarch can/will recode these things, so their only feasible options to balance it are the ideas they have already put out there (nerfing the grip and/or lessening its ammo).
either that or put it with the AR's where it belongs so you lose the benefit of the SMG movement speed, but that seems highly unlikely also.
There are some bad weapons, but most of the guns are good. You have to use different guns for different situations. Some are good all-around, like the FAMAS, AUG and Galil, some are more specialized. I think we all wish shotguns had a little more range. For now, we have to
I really hope Treyarch makes a Black Ops 2 in a couple of years. I read the intel stuff on the wiki and there is a set-up for a sequel, and it sold well, so odds are good. The setting is cool and fairly unique. It is nice to see some different guns, even if half of the players use the Commando or the MP5 or the Aug.
Yeah, I don't think there is an easy solution. It doesn't have a stock, so it doesn't make sense for it to be the rifles. It shoots a rifle round, so it doesn't make sense for it to be with SMGs. I think they should reduce its range.
If you come back and tell us that you love the shit out of the uzi, I'll eat my hat.
Add me and hit me up, think I'll be playing this a lot.
PSN in sig.
Edit: I dunno if it's the PS3 or whatever, but I do get the occasional system freeze and random disconnects while playing Multi-Player.
Probably everyone else gets it too, but I figured I'd mention it.
What was the Treyarch dev guy's twitter? The one with ak74 discussion. Search is off and I can't find the post linking it.
edit
found it
Not if I beat you to it.
Anyway, how is the Uzi in blops? I haven't tried it yet, but from the last page and a half I have to assume it isn't the beast like it was in MW2.
I love the shit out of the Uzi. It's so hilarious to use! If you get very lucky or can control the recoil, you WILL get a chopper gunner, I did this. No, stop looking at me like I'm a filthy lying son bitch!
Edit: The new breach animation over the shoulder OMFG. Best Michael Bay movie yet.

real life AKS-74u's do have a stock, it just folds up. it shouldn't be listed as an SMG because it is a carbine, same as the Colt Commando. /gun nerd
in-game, the 74u has the same damage/range stats as the MP5K, it's just that since it has very predictable recoil (even more so with a grip attached) it is more effective at longer ranges. I'm not sure that things like recoil and damage stats are things Treyarch is willing to tinker with in this instance, which is why they are looking at nerfing certain attachments.

The stock actually folds to the side, but yeah, I don't know what they will do with the ak74.
Search your PS3 ID on Youtube. I just did and I couldn't find any of your videos. How long ago did you render it?
Ah, I forgot to render it.
I think the solution to the ak74u "problem" is a reduction in range. It doesn't have a shoulder stock, so it should be a short range in your face type weapon, like an SMG.
Saying "it sold well" is kind of like saying "a few people bought tickets to see Avatar."
I'd think a sequel is pretty much a slam dunk at this point.
Hoping to get some play time in this weekend with those of you on PS3. Really loving Sharpshooter right now, even for low stakes.
Well when you do it will take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the queue of videos waiting to be uploaded.
I want to know what you mean by "shorter range" since every non-shotgun in the game has bullets that go the same distance.
I'm not sure exactly. Something needs to be changed so it behaves more like an SMG. More recoil? Wider spread? I don't know.
I want to know why your tone is always so grumpy. If you are not bitching about something, you are still talking in a curt tone.
Weakening the RC cars is pretty nice as well, although slowing them down may make them easier to drive and help a little bit.

I regularly shoot nowhere near an RC and end up killing it anyway.
Then, when I try to hit them, I absolutely cannot.
Fire about six inches to a foot in front of it depending on your latency and it'll go down real nice. I can get them easily now.
Also, the shotgun change? I hope it actually visibly gibs people now when they die to it. Like the W@W shotguns.
Also?
FUCK YES
do want
I want to work on my reflexes and start using the tomahawk. I've seen some hilariously awesome tomahawk montages.
I will hold out hope that a future patch will increase the range of shotguns. Perhaps reduce the spread of the buckshot pellets.
I wonder what they did to the ak74u. He didn't say. Hmmm.
Make a class with the worst guns you can think of, tomahawk, and Scavenger.
the only way to get really good at the tomahawk is to have Scavenger so you don't feel bad about "wasting" your hawk by throwing it at anything other than a sure-shot.
Being a devout tomahawk user, I'm obligated to tell you that it is objectively the best way to play and infinitely rewarding.
Seeeeexxxxx
We were speculating on MW3 shotguns and that was one of my idears.
I've only been at it 1.5 days so I'm like lvl 20 and haven't unlocked/bought much yet.
Lately I like the Famas w/ Red Dot, but I just unlocked the next assault rifle down the list earlier and haven't tried it yet. (I forgot the name, stuck at work til midnight)
Best overall gun in the game. Hardline, Sleight of Hand, Hacker/Marathon.
My load outs that have been working for me.
Assault - Aug with reflex/extended mags - Scav pro, warlord pro, tac mask. Refillable flash or nova gas for clearing rooms
Sniper - L96 with variable zoom / Python with speed loader - Scav pro, Scout pro, Tac Mask with flash bangs. Plenty of ammo to start. Flash bangs when you got to move or hamper the enemy. Strong pistol that can drop in 2 to 3 shots
LMG - M60 with Extended ammo and Red dot and Strela-3. Hardline pro, warlord pro, Hacker or tac mask. Tac grenade of choice. This is a crowd raper and is built to fuck kill streaks
As far as kill streaks go I'd recommend to start Spy Plane, SAM turret, Napalm or Care Package
Sam Turret will get you a TON of points fast. This thing is going to chew Air Planes up and will drop all choppers in 2 shots. Lasts a good amount of time. In objective game types you put it behind you spawn and it will keep the sky clear.

If you accidentally flash yourself a bunch, this is a good choice.
But no one you are fighting uses bitch grenades so it's kind of pointless.
Somehow mention the Mac11.

I've been finding a lot more people using nova gas lately which makes it nice to have in objective games.
