    C4 and RPGs want to have a word with you.

    But they can't because you died when you exploded.

    Why would anyone waste a token on Scav?

    aka pretty much the most worthless perk


    I mean, it isn't Overkill.

    C4 is the best grenade. Yes.

    I can throw the semtex further. A RPG isn't going to take down a helicopter with one hit.

    I don't know if I should unlock the SCAR, the ACR or the G36 when I prestige. Or, do I just unlock the Type 95 for speedy leveling? Scavenger is another option... I have two tokens, will have 3 when I prestige. Not sure what to do. TOO MANY GOOD OPTIONS.

    Why spend the token on the SCAR? You earn that gun at level 6.

    That's what I get for posting about things I don't think about while I'm at work. I wouldn't waste one on the SCAR. The ACR, sure. It's a later unlock. But not the SCAR.

    Also, I run Scav because I don't want to pick up the inferior weapons that my enemies have left behind. They're dead and I'm not for a reason.

    I've picked up a fallen's ACR on occasion (mainly because I'm out of ammo and for some reason, since his has an holo sight and is blue, it's magazines don't work in my gun).

    Pick up one of the 50000 type 95s that are everywhere.

  • Options
    FawstFawst The road to awe.Registered User regular
    The 95 is like the M16 in BLOPS: it works some of the time when I use it, but I always die on the first fucking bullet when used against me. Even if that's not "what really happened," it's what fucking happened on my screen while I was playing. I am debating the MP7, since it's a pretty beast gun, even if it's not that great at long distance. Unfortunately for me, I'm more of a long distance battle kind of guy.

    Pretty much this. 90% drop rate on overpowered weapons when playing against pubbies, since everyone puts on +1 douchebag boots.

    Edit- Keep in mind, any weapon that kills me is overpowered and should be nerfed etc...

    I missed trying to get fancy emblems/titles by doing obscure challenges.

    Sadly the most noticeable emblems have some insane prereq's

    Kill 100 enemies while in Final Stand? Yikes.

    Currently using these.

    it apparently cancels out predators in mid air, the timing was impeccable, and left me with quite a disbelieving look on my face.

    I had an attack helicopter up today that got shot down right as I looped back to earning another predator missile. I was in a safe spot so I popped open the laptop and sent the predator straight at a group of 4 enemies all nicely clustered together outside now that it was seemingly safe.

    Then my own dead attack helicopter spiraled directly into the path of the predator missile, taking the hit on the tail, and saving all 4 of them.

    I should probably go back into theater mode and see if I can save that replay. Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    yeah i just accidently joined a team tac capture the flag game and went like 19-5 and capped 2 flags. the other team said they were gonna report me because i was clearly a hacker, having killed their teammate with a riot shield. i calmly tried to explain to them that i killed him trying to throwing knife me several times. i'd wait for him to try and throw knife me, he was terrible so he always missed, and then i'd hipfire the shit out of him. for some unknown reason (birth defects maybe), they didnt believe me. so im probably totally gonna get my account banned and then some guy from IW is gonna drive to my house and beat the shit out of me and fuck my girlfriend.

    i was ready to leave it alone and let them back out of the lobby (which they eventually did), but first they decided to call me the N word, several times. Now I'm not black, and I don't give a flying fuck about swearing, but calling someone that is not acceptable behavior to me, either from redneck hicks or from a black person (unless their talking to other black guys). So I reported them for language.

    Best hatemail is the ones that can make "friends" I had a few messages sent from a frustrated young lad once, but he was new to the game (BlOps)
    and thought I was hacking or something, so I calmly explained the situation to him and he thanked me and sent me a friend request.

    "Glee" was pretty terrible for the first few episodes this season. I couldn't comment on the rest because they were bad enough that I stopped caring and stopped watching.

    Other than the Gay Santana drama, which I'm secretly enjoying, Glee isn't really about the story. It's more about the awesome/terrible covers. Did you hear Naya Rivera singing Adele? Because uuunnnngggghhhhhh.

    Damn, I actually thought they were gonna nerf the shotguns untill I read this: ''In this case it’s not lowering the damage output of the shotguns directly, but adjusting the amount of pellets a shotgun fires when it’s equipped with Extended Magazines. You may or may not know, but some weapons receive extra bonuses when they’re equipped with a certain combination of attachments / perks.''

    I mean I thought they were gonna nerf the damage or range, but somehow this doesn't seem right either.

    Well, I believe the patch is up. And it seemed like shotguns are a little less sucky? maybe?
    Hard to tell when during one game everyone else seemed to be running dual FMG9s.

    Though some people did get some kills against me (not like it's that hard) using the striker.

    I've learned over the last two days that the best kill is the one where you come across a dude and he starts shooting. You throw your c4 and shoot it, blowing him up.

    Of course, it only works on people who clearly have some kind of motor skill impairment. But it's still awesome. Especially when it gets you a doublekill.

    The Striker is pretty good actually.

    Like, it should be:

    Shotguns -> Striker

    Toy Guns -> All the other shotguns

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
