The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Haha I just look at the MG4 and am turned off by how old and janky it looks, but ill check it out because I really like the fat magazines on all the lmgs besides the AUG. But the range of the AUG intrigues me, i love plinking at someone real far away with an lmg. Sooo much damage with so little drop off
if you think the MG4 looks old and janky, how do you feel about the RPD? haha.
anyway the AUG is probably the most user-friendly of the LMG's, just slap on some Lightweight and it's basically an AR with no damage drop-off over range.
Just got L86 mastery, my first mastery so far! Not sure if I wanna keep using the L86, get more camo n kills, or try out the AUG which seems pretty good as an Ar-Lmg hybrid.
Do eeet! The aug/MG4 are the highest accuracy lmgs out of the group. They fire noticeably slower than the l86, but a lot easier to control. The aug shines in long range fire-fights especially with the ACOG, and the MG4 has almost no recoil...(someone mentioned that it is essentially the ACR of the lmg group) you'll enjoy them both, give em a spin. See how they do!

With no dropoff**
The LMGs do 30 damage, except for the RPD, AUG, and LSW, which do 40. Three shots and two shots with SP, respectively.
My LMG stats are a pretty good example of how they work. I have all of the challenges complete up to FMJ for all of them, except the M240 which I have like 6 kills total with. The rest of them are at least okay, and for whatever reason I'm a really big fan of L86 grip/thermal. It's like the EBR except it fires full-auto. With a 100 round (magazine?).
SLyM on
My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)
Hell I just the same $10 USB Headset I use for Vent, and the situational awareness it grants is great.
Wait, USB headsets work for the 360? News to me. Maybe I can stop using this damned jury-rigged setup.
Also, zombie folks, if you need a fourth add me up.
I'll add you when I get back on tonight and i'll also add you Mr.V, although I think you are on my friends list already. Yea the game is a nice change of pace just to let off the rage-steam from MW2(only if you rage like me,scatman,holi and hypertime muahahha).
ZOMBIESSSSS...I honestly dont think i'll ever forget that door thing vol, that was pure classic awesomeness haha. I really wanna go for broke and try a one level on veteran coop and see how we fair, I know it's crazy hard though.
I went up against a real life call of duty god today. The guy got a nuke every game for 4 games in a row, without dieing to anything except his own nuke. Everyone would yell "this guys a hacker, he is cheating" or "this guy is a booster", but he wasn't.. I got the jump on him a few times and he always managed to kill me with great speed and accuracy. He used scavenger and would chuck endless flash bangs and decimate our team, and he would always let the noobs filter in first in front of him, and when he killed 3-4 of us he would flash bang and retreat, and when we would follow he would drag us across the map and pick us off 1 by 1. He wouldn't even call in his kill streaks until he got both of his 7 and his 11 and sometimes 2-3 kills after that.
Just watching his kill cams I learned an incredible amount about how to really play call of duty, and using his tactics I was getting 2 AC-130's for each domination game afterwards. Some people are absolutely sick at this game.
I will have to see if he has any youtube video's somewhere
I'm thinking about grabbing WaW as well, if only because it mixes things I enjoy, such as the WW2 setting and COD4's style gameplay - and zombies.
I'll be on in a bit to see if others are around for MW2.
Just...don't play the campaign on Veteran.
WAT? I only played Veteran on all of te CoD's I've owned/player (4, 5, MW2) but MW2 was the easiest and W@W falls closely behind it. Where as CoD4 is somewhere between hell and fuck you in the butt hard.

Yes, flash/stuns are seriously under-used in this game. I mean, you have 2 of them a life (unless you use scav) and each one will tell you if anyone is in any given room, and allow you to get an instant drop on them cause they are blinded/stunned.
Edit: The best way to know if someone is hiding behind that plant that someone is always hiding behind? Throw a flash, then you don't have to actually look there.

I have always been a huge fan of flash / stuns, and it has always made me a consistent player. They are also great for those few times that someone goes into last stand.. Instead of trying to reload and popping back out, just throw a flash while you retreat.. It's great!

You think Blowtorch and goddamned Corkscrew is EASY?
I mean, what? How is anything in 4 harder than that?

I like using flashbangs, and I can't believe how many teammates will run around a corner where there are definitely going to be bad guys and then six guys will run in behind him and all get killed.
I guess the spider holes are the worst of it, then? I can't get past that section.
The spider holes are akin to the missile silo section. It doesn't just bust your balls, it nukes them from orbit, bakes the ash into a cake, eats the cake, shits it out, pours acid on it, burns it, snorts it, has a drug crazed night with your mother, and then makes the sun go supernova.
Once you're past that bit, its a little bit easier.

Wait, how does throwing a flashbang tell you if someone is hiding somewhere?
I've actually started trying to use flashbangs a little more (I always forget about them), I just need to stop flashing myself with them .
I did get hit with three of them in a row last night though, that was a little crazy. My screen was white for a very long time. I think I died as soon as my vision cleared.
If someone is flashed/stunned, it'll give you a hit marker for it.
You'll also, while we're talking about it, get an assist (or points for an assist) if you flash someone and another teammate kills them.

If I could just make a general announcement: While I can't speak for anyone else here, I personally don't care if you haven't got the map pack, feel free to join us when we're playing/we send you an invite.
Because as nice (and expensive) as the maps are, they are still wayyyy too frequent in rotation, which in turn limits the variety in the maps we see. So a lockout every now and then would be welcome.
i've tried to start using flash/stun grenades more. they especially help by disabling claymores. toss one up just about every flight of stairs for safety.
there is a downside for me, though -- if someone is in the vicinity and can see or hear your flash but not close enough to be affected, they now know you're coming.
Because as nice (and expensive) as the maps are, they are still wayyyy too frequent in rotation, .
except bailout - we don't get bailout enough. and the one time we got it last night, some goose talked everyone into skipping it.

One thing which gets me about the special grenades is the throw speed. When I'm using the Riot Shield, they're thrown crazy-fast, yet when using something like the MG4, it almost seems like my character has arthritis.
Not that that's going to stop me from using the MG4

I hadn't thought about it, but Storm and Overgrown do seem to come up constantly. Those two, and Favela and Invasion seem to make up 75% of the games I play.
Favela can die in a fire though, hate that map.
And I think I need 8 more kills to master the TAR. I'm at 9/10 for mastery, and just need Extended Mags. That will be my first mastery, woo.
I was so so disapointed in the M240. It looked completely awsome, it was the unlock I was waiting for as I leveled up. I jumped into a matched with it, pointed at someone, held down the trigger and died a few seconds later after not getting a hit marker. It got worse from there.

if someone gets hit by the explosion--which does a minor amount of damage-- you get a hit marker. Anything that damages an opponent generates a hit marker. including exploding cars/barrels. so if you throw a FB and get a hit marker, you know someone is there.

Oh, no, they (AFAIK) don't. Sorry. I have my 360 set up via VGA cable to my computer monitor, and the sound passed through my desktop.
With no dropoff**
The LMGs do 30 damage, except for the RPD, AUG, and LSW, which do 40. Three shots and two shots with SP, respectively.

ARE YOU BEING SARCASTIC
If not then good job, you discovered the MG4. If so, fuck you.
In any case, the MP5 is my next mastery. I'll pack a Valium.
Because I have discovered the MG4.
I can use the TAR again and do challenges for it!

No, that's just a weird quirk of the UI. Normally it gives you the blue symbol, but in Hardcore it only gives you the hitmarker.
