    I just found an incredibly fun build. Riot shield with secondary of your choice, danger close, scav and c4. It's like using the throwing knife except you don't have to be able to aim.

    Use the C4 as a trap nearby and lure them in using the shield. People seem to have their field of vision narrow RIGHT to the guy with the shield due to it being large and inviting. Often, they will move in for a knife kill.

    Then you hit the detonator and giggle psychotically.

    EDIT: Anyone thought of getting that Semtex on teammate to get a enemy kill challenge by using a Riot Shield duo for it? Just hook him up and CHAAAARGE.

    I think I just found my new Asshole class. :D

    I'm also fond of shooting people with silencers from behind into Last Stand and leaving them with a C4 pack underneath as company.

    So the wording there is appropriate.

    Honestly if you go by what most people in-game say, every class is an asshole class.

    Tubing Bravo point on Sub Base in Domination when four of their guys rush it like morons? You're an asshole.
    Run with a Tactical Knife out so that you can quickstab people who bunnyhop corners? You're an asshole.
    Have a Stinger and pop enemy air support within three seconds of it spawning? Guess what, you're an asshole.

    This game got so much better once I did mute-all on the in-game voice, starting playing with friends with Vent servers, and just ignoring text chat.

    I used to (on Xbox) go down the line and mute everybody that wasn't in my party.

    Then one time I forgot to bother with the other team, and hilarity ensued. After a round where one ofmy friends ran Scavenger/Stinger and just shot down everything we came into the lobby to hear a ton of bitching to the effect of "Who the fuck was the guy shooting down every last one of our UAVs? Who the fuck shoots down UAVs?!"

    We do. That's who.

    So now I leave the other team unmuted, and my friends do too. Enemy rage is delicious.

    Embrace me brothers, for last night I was formally baptized into the Church of Spas12. Skidrow domination on Ground War, I proceeded to unload the holy contents of my shells into the backs, faces and chests of all who crossed my path. And as I danced over their fallen corpses and heard footsteps coming down the corridor, I tossed a flashbang. I stepped out into the hallway, and to my delight there were two enemies, arms covering eyes, awaiting the sweet gift of death from the barrel of my shotgun.

    I do this. I prefer a Thumper on backup but I do Hardline instead of Danger Close. Sometime I'll get crazy and do akimbo magnums. Run Scrambler on Normal, Commando on Hardcore. Smokes for Domination and Stuns for everything else.

    Actually, I got the frag Think Fast as a game winning kill once with no last stand involved. I was around the corner by the fast food place on Terminal knowing that people were going to be over near the escalators, so I cooked a frag and chucked it, it bounced and hit a guy in the shin for the game winning kill.

    It would have blown up and killed him anyway, and sure, that kill was stolen from one of my teammates, but I'll sure as hell take it.

    I'll make it so.

    Also, I've come to put Silencers on my SPASes when they're on my AR class. The Marathon/SP/SAim will retain a Grip, but otherwise they'll be silenced.

    Holo + Grip/Ext. Mags, FMJs are irrelevant on shotguns, especially the SPAS.

    Had some silly geese earlier today who were nuke boosting and for some reason called a care package in exactly where they were. They got destroyed really quickly by everyone on the map while I sat back with a sniper and racked up the kills :)

    I don't use one, I'm just saying that of all the attachments you can add to the SPAS, the only ones that actually have a tangible effect are extended mags and the silencer.

    The sights are useless since you should be hipfiring anyway (because its faster, easier, and some say the spread is increased if you ADS, but I'm not sure about the veracity of that) and the grip is useless because it has no effect on a pump-action shotgun.

    A really mean sniper combo is the Intervention + Silencer, and the SPAS + RDS. It's absolutely brutal on Hardcore. It also lets you be objectively superior to all the fuckfaces running around with dual G18s or akimbo UMPs

    Dual G18s are the dograpists of hardcore.
