    Oh, I almost forgot, in the MTDM I've been playing recently, I got quite a good laugh out of someone still trying to be a walrus with the Care Package Marker.
    It's not very effective!

    I'll admit I'm a Danger Tuber. The OMA build is Exceptional in Domination because it is a GREAT defense setup. Wait to hear "WE'RE LOSING POINT C" and fire for kills.

    I run
    FAL w/ Grenade Launcher
    Claymores
    Stun Grenades
    OMA
    Danger Close
    Sit Rep

    I also call this my sniper hunter build. Please...please put down a claymore in your snipers nest telling me where to lob this grenade of love. Please do. Granted after being Witchbladed, dog raped, care/emergancy packaged to death over and over I have no shame when using this build.

    On the other hand I really like sniping and only take out the bombs when I get pissed off now. I finished the WA2000 mastery and now working on the M21 to get the final sniper rifle mastery then its Prestage grind time. The M21 is crazy. It out of the box feels like a FAL with ACOG on it. Makes a good Short range rifle. Scope and slam trigger when guys get too close.

    You know what I hate? Going through a match thinking that I've scored plenty of penetrations kills, only to learn that I've gotten ~ 2. Does the killing bullet have to go through a wall for it to count?

    And an interesting piece of trivia from the wikia RE: 1887s
    Enemies may use the 1887 as it is old (and possibly cheap), but as none have been produced since 1920 they would likely suffer from reliability issues due to degradation. Despite the oxidization on the metal parts, they may instead be modern replicas.

    Righty-o.

    So I found a fun, albeit cheap way to pad some K/D last night :)

    I joined a friend's "session in progress" TDM match. I think I went 16-5 my first game and didn't think too much of it. My buddy signs off. I was about to, too, but then I realized what kind of room I was in: it was dominated by non-prestiged mostly under rank 50. Holy shit! I never see these kinds of people through normal matchmaking anymore. Hell, there were 3 single-rank unprestiged players in my lobby alone. I haven't seen someone like that since November. So cute...so adorable...so naive!

    Cue the evil laugh and let the carnage begin!! I decimated the lot of them game after game. Slaughter was served. Hate-mail, received. I had a lot of fun.

    Thanks to my habit of throwing knives instead of shooting bullets, my Accuracy rating has been steadily climbing and shows no signs of stopping. I'm at 26.39% right now and I'm hoping I can get it up to 30.

    It feels good to be at the top of my friends leaderboard for something, since I'm at the bottom of all the other lists.


    Anyway, seeing that made me curious about other people's accuracy. How accurate are you? Ridiculously high? Obscenely low? I wanna know!

    Lw Pro is the only one that's helpful when trying not to die.

    Edit: I can understand wanting to get a nuke but I like being super useful to my team so I run UAC, CUAC, Predator and will usually kill myself soon after getting to five kills unless the next kill is lined up in the sights.

    Eh, eh, eh, it seems that the MW Gods were smiling on me today, as I got my remaining FMJ kills for the AUG rather quickly, thanks to the first 3 maps I played being Derail (shooting people in the middle building window), Scrapyard (like fish in a barrel) and Rundown (holy shit, I think shooting a guy through a palm tree counted.). SP is indeed a big help.

    NOW TO NEVER USE THE EXTENDED MAGS AT ALL.

    Also, apologies to Replace for ignoring his invite, but I'll hop back on later.

    Lightweight? Click, BOOM! My claymore went off, but i'm sure that nobody is back there.

    Half the time the greatest part of claymores isn't the kill, but the audible warning that there is somebody coming to stab your face off, so you turn around and beat them to the punch.

    Even better is when they flash/stun and run past it. Leaving it intact to keep fulfilling its role as a motion detector, and maybe even get a kill later.

    My friend had to get a bunch for whatever SMGs he was working on. He swears by hardcore team DM on maps like terminal for it. Haven't tried it myself but he seemed to do ok anyway.

    Marathon and Stopping Power to allow you to get a flank easier, which in turn allows you to be more likely to get the kill. It took me a few levels with the UMP - I'll let you know how it goes with the P90, but I imagine it'll only be a little harder.

    The key for me is Domination. People are going for specific areas of the map, so you can analyse those points and see where you can hide for the possibility of kills. I noticed just the other day that Favela has a wonderful point for it - on the roof with the water tower above B, you can sit and face the dumpster. There's an ice-cream sign directly in the right place to get FMJ kills on someone capping B in that corner, and if someone's on top of the shelf inside the building you can hit them through the wall, too. B on Terminal is also good - you can sit behind the grille under the plane and hit them though that while they're trying to get the point (although don't do this in a team game that you're not clearly winning - you'll need to cap B as bait for them to try to come and get it, and that's usually a death sentence if you're not holding down one of the other two points well).

    I banged mine out pretty quickly for the UMP45 with my build of Marathon/LW/Steady Aim. I don't know if those perks mattered much, but there are a lot of points in domination games that give you those kills. B in Invasion, and C in Underpass are all good, and with Marathon/LW you get there first and can pick people off. Rundown has a lot of stuff to shoot people through as well and is quite useful for these kills. It takes a while, but I did it in about a level so it's not awful, and I didn't really try to hard to make the kills happen.

    It is uncanny. I guess I missed out on the "know exactly when your enemy turns from watching his current direction" perk.

    Also, someone must have planted a homing beacon in my asshole because 80% of all predator missiles have my name written all over them.

    I know both of these feelings well and makes me want to stop watching kill-cams, but sometimes I can't figure out how they saw me or knew I was there and after watching I still don't.

    To me it seems like some games I'm always the one who gets hit by a predator. And others it's always right behind me since I've taken to always using a marathon/LW class so I can get away from a group of teammates who are just asking to be blown up. I always feel like a Predator missile is coming for me.

    Ducking around the corner of a dumpster or knee high wall at the very last moment before a predator hits, and surviving makes you feel like such a badass.

    Though I hate it when one is called in and I'm with a clump of team mates. Who then run in the same direction I'm trying to flee.

    Holy shit you must be my fucking twin or something. Nobody on our whole god damn team has cold blooded on yet the missile always goes straight for me. I could be running full tilt or hiding under an overhang, it doesn't matter. Even if I'm inside a building the missile flies down the chimney and goes "HAHA NICE TRY ASSFUCK!"
