Well, the iron-sights are pretty awful, but that's quickly solved by getting 10 or so kills.
Quote : | "Statistically doesn't it do the same damage as the SCAR? That's what I saw comparing the two in the menu, perhaps it's advantage is just allowing better/more accurate shot placement?" |
From what I've seen of the menu stats for each gun... it's not really a good indicator at all. It's best just to try everything and see what you use the best/what you enjoy using most.11/18/2009 3:55:49 PM |

Yea I really love the FAL now, the iron sight is garbage, but now with the halographic, its an amazing weapon. I use it with a stinger, tactical insertion, smoke, scavenger pro, hardline pro, and scrambler pro. Makes for a good support role, you can cover an entire map with it, handle enemy killstreaks, and maintain a position well. I play a lot of domination and can dominate Afghan with the FAL. 11/18/2009 4:13:43 PM |

speaking of the holographic...anyone found the real difference between it and red dot?
I just feel like it's so bulky and obstrusive on my screen. I rarely use it. 11/18/2009 4:18:52 PM |
TreeTwista10 minisoldr 148446 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah I thought the holo sight was pretty cool when I was going through the one player campaign, but ^I agree, I don't really see any difference in it and the red dot, except it takes up a slightly larger circle from your view 11/18/2009 4:22:05 PM |
tromboner950 All American 9667 Posts user info edit post |
^^I haven't been able to tell much difference beyond the simple fact that some people tend to prefer one over the other.
I think the holo might have less apparent recoil than the red dot... though it may be the other way around... or more likely, if there's any difference at all in visual recoil or zoom, it varies between guns.
Also, the TAR has a red dot that's generally less good than most of the other assault rifles, but the holo on it is pretty much the same as the holo on every other gun. So the difference may just be that the red dot's appearance is gun-specific, whereas the holo is always the same.

i can't tell the difference especially when looking through gunfire and smoke anyways.

OK...so i'm way better at free for all. i enjoy playing that a lot more than the team matches.
i just had my best match ever and had my first predator missile strike 11/18/2009 6:38:33 PM |

^Free For All is easier in the sense that if you kill someone, they can't immediately tell a teammate "yeah guy got me from the window on the left, go get him" or something since, unless people are teaming up, its everybody for themselves
Also there seems to be much less camping since people generally want to at least get a top-3 finish...so you can sort of creep around, and find two people shooting at each other, and kill whichever one survives 11/18/2009 6:47:01 PM |

I'm absolutely starting to loathe FFA on Rust, I usually only play it to get a lot of kills quickly and unlock stuff for my weapons.
But Rust is just waaaay too small, even for 8 people because half the time you die upon spawning because there's someone behind or beside you.
Domination is probably my favorite mode though, unless one team is stacked and it turns into a spawn camping rapefest. 11/18/2009 6:59:52 PM |

I'm really liking the Tar-21 so far... just got to Lvl 20 so I don't have any attachments yet aside from the grenade launcher... I actually like the iron sights and there is barely a noticeable recoil at all, unlike the SCAR-H... 11/18/2009 9:45:58 PM |

Quote : | "November 18, 2009 - The Los Angeles Times is reporting Activision has signed on a third game development studio to work on future Call of Duty titles.
The report also states that a source close to company says it was considering adapting a "massively multi-player online world" for Call of Duty, which CEO Bobby Kotick hinted at last year about possibility of developing a MMO title for the series.
No other details about the unnamed studio or its project were given, but we can take a few guesses.
Right now, Activision has developers Infinity Ward and Treyarch alternating its annual Call of Duty releases. If a third studio is developing a full console game, a few choices could be Wisconsin-based Raven Software, or the recently announced Sledgehammer Games, which is headed up by famed Dead Space producer Glen Schofield.
Of course, this studio could be focusing on mobile games for the iPhone and Nintendo DS, which wouldn't be nearly as exciting.
We contacted Activision for comment on the validity of this report and will update when we hear back." |

i feel like i'm playing the same 4 maps over and over on TDM. Substation, Derail, Scrapyard, Skidrow
I very rarely get karachi or airport..i think i've been in 3 games with Airport since the release. And i really dislike Rundown.
I hate the Favela maps because i hate getting shot by the dumb militia skins in their cargo pants and soccer jerseys. It irritates me.
I've been experiencing some very noticable lag issues the last couple nights, thinking i have a bead on people only to see killcam and catching 3 in the face before i even get a shot off. I need to hurry up and get my connection wired asap 11/19/2009 8:39:09 AM |

Rundown is awful for campers, you take a turn around a corner on that map without seeing XxAssassainBoyxX crouched back into a corner with his RPD pointed right at you. it's miserable.

Jeepin4x4 #Pack9 35774 Posts user info edit post |
I understand they wanted to go big on these maps and the detail and size is great...but some can just be too big. Maps like Estate and Wasteland can take multiple minutes before the first kill or between kills. Especially in a lobby full of sniper enthusiasts...it may be the sound of silence for much of the match and you're just begging the time to run out so you can move on. 11/19/2009 1:04:09 PM |

Yeah, they were trying new things, especially with the "multi-level combat". Vertical combat sounds great on paper, until you are looking up at the balcony, only to neglect seeing the guy run around the corner shooting you while you're looking up 11/19/2009 1:06:50 PM |

Just for fun I made a custom class which uses the FAMAS, grenade launcher, M79, claymores, and Danger Close. Let me tell you, it sucks. If Danger Close is supposed to provide more explosive weapons damage, I damn sure don't see it. Even worse is that after having used the FAL for so long and then switching to the FAMAS, I felt like I was shooting enemies with a Nerf gun. I believe I'll scrap this class slot and try something different. 11/20/2009 8:01:50 AM |

Played with wahoowa aka "DaBEANnHCL" last night....
Dude owned almost every match with stats usually between 20-6 and 30-3 or better
My brother came over and we were alternating matches. For the most part we were cursing "THE FUCKING BEAN" all night long since he ended up on the opposite team most matches. All in good fun though.
Side note, if you are in a party and in the same game why dont you end up on the same team? Am I doing something wrong, or is that the way it works? 11/20/2009 8:07:51 AM |

Finally gave the TAR a shot, and let me tell you, I have a new favorite assault rifle!
I got to level 40 last night, and was excited to use the M16, but I wasn't that impressed by it, I mean, its pretty similar to the COD4 version, and I don't feel there are enough long range maps to utilize it. Anyway, working on the TAR now, red dot site looks dumb on it, holographic kinda the same, I will probably stick with the iron sight and take FMJ or the heartbeat sensor. 11/20/2009 8:38:58 AM |

had my best match of MW2 yet last night. Went 29-2 on Afghan in TDM. Called in 2 emergency air drops. would've been better, but the stupid emergency drop put my AC-130 too far in the radiation zone, I couldn't get to it and one of my deaths was me trying to run to it.
Oh and I unlocked the javelin last night... that is badass. It's kinda like a predator missle every time you spawn. 11/20/2009 9:38:46 AM |

It was good to play with you last night KyleAtState. I joined your game in progress instead of us going into a game together, which is why we were on opposite teams sometimes. I tried not to kill you every time...I actually ran past you a few times when you didnt notice me, but yeah that was the best streak of games Ive had in a while. The AC130 and chopper gunner got me most of the kills.
Leaving work early so Ill be on this afternoon before I head out to the bars for the night.

For people who've used the SCAR and the TAR
the stats say the TAR is much less accurate

^^ Yes the TAR is less accurate then the SCAR, however, it has a much larger clip, making 3-4 kills/clip very common, as opposed to maybe 2 with the SCAR. I have the SCAR maxed, but am really enjoying the TAR and will be maxing it out now.
I also think the red-dot and holographic look stupid on the TAR, I really like the iron sight on it.
Edit: Stopping power pro with the TAR means you can drop something with a quick burst, aim for mid-mass and the recoil carries the successive shots up into their head
