I can't help wondering why you would run SoH over Warlord, Hardened or Steady Aim with extended mags?
If you feel you can't deal with the M60 iron sights, then just run Warlord.
For me, the argument for using the M60 is that it's the one LMG where you don't need Extended Mags and can go with the grip. I think I'm running Hardened on my M60 build because (humorously) I still don't have the bullet penetration kills for Hardened Pro.

Have you met the people who play this game? If my only exposure to Americans was Call of Duty, I'd think we were assholes too.
True, but it's hard to believe that the only time he has run into assholes was when he played with Americans. Not to put down my European brothers, but I know some of you have to be a holes just like us.

I've found that Americans use their mics more. Also their emblems are generally better.
Totally anecdotal but, hey!

It's the only LMG that can get a grip anyway. But the HK21 and Stoner have the same centering speed as a gripped M60 so that's no disadvantage. The M60 also kills slower at range than the others due to the slow rate of fire. Really, the reason to use an M60 is the large mag size. The others you might as well use ExMags since putting a sight on an LMG is kind of a waste.

The problem I have with the LMGs besides the M60, is that they just feel like ARs with Fat-Man running. The M60 is the only one that actually feels like an LMG. Why would I run the Stoner when the Galil can do the exact same job without giving my guy arthritic knees?

I tried the Stoner 63 for the first time today, and it's easily my favorite of the Black Ops LMGs. It's a lot of fun, but I just don't think it's as effective as ... literally any of the assault rifles. The damage and rate of fire are top-notch, and since it's an LMG, it doesn't lose damage over range. Those are just huge green checkmarks in anyone's books. However, it also sort of requires you to run Scavenger, since it eats ammo faster than most guns, and can't have Dual Mags -- in practice, I run out of ammo before I even get my Blackbird out. And that's not great.
I don't know; I think I'll keep working with it. The gun's fantastic. I just wish it didn't require me to use Scavenger. Whenever I run anything but Flak Jacket, I'm immediately made to regret the decision as the tubes come flying in.
Well, we PS3 people are meant to be getting the map pack on the 3rd, according to the in-game message, and since we got a double-xp weekend when the X-box people got the maps, then it should be this coming weekend.

What?
I never said that. I just said that I found yet more nice CoD playing Americans who think that my GT is StumbledTuna when there's no "n" there at all. As national character flaws go it's not so bad - just funny and confuzzling.
I had an awesome game last night with Helgrinder on Launch where he got a blackbird and I then spawn-trapped the other team at A by myself, but the game decided to erase that game from its memory so I can't save it.
All the talk of LMGs made me throw on the stoner and do work. It wasn't a fair test as it threw me into a game in progress on Radiation and I did some good stuff, but my team was not good at keeping ghosts from killing me from behind B while we controlled A. It was brutal. Guess I should think about switching from claymore to motion sensor.

Motion sensor on the rear entrance to the B corridor + an LMG makes you a god of death and destruction. Do it.

there is not a single picture on the images.google that expresses the amount of rage I have already, and will continue to have, until I rage myself to death before I hit level 20.

Exactly. Without a 100 round mag like the M60, the others are just slow AR's. Which means they can't work as the suppression weapons they could and should be. Their default mag sizes should be at least twice what they are now. I still haven't figured out why they were cut down so much to begin with.

I still do.
Also because more people should have ambiguously pronounced names
...What?
Pffft...my name is ambiguous enough for at least seven people.
Tiddly sounds better.
edit:
Also I'm now prestige 11. Time for some more CTF fun!

Granted, I don't think anyone here needs it. Also, there's a Modern Warfare 2 one that apparently just went up as well.

A MW2 demo went up ages ago (but still several months after it was released), so is this a new demo we're talking of?
Worst. TotP. Evar.

garbage patch is garbage
Dude.
That's like
a Solid 4 bar connection.
But, in MW2
4 bars was 0-200ms ping.
have you ever had a situation where you had a 4-bar and it was garbage?
yeah
Except connecting to Americans gives me yellow or red, which would fit with 250-400+ ms.
Either the scale is nonlinear, which would be retarded, or it's in 200ms increments, which is also retarded.
