I've tried a couple of Assault Rifles and I find that the Enfield is the most balanced. I like the M14 and M16 for picking people off from a distance. Other than this none of the other rifles really feel right for assault aggressive attack patterns.

I think the thing I like most is that the recoil is very manageable which makes long distance shooting still feasible. I have trouble controlling the AUG. Can't wait to unlock the commando however.

2/12/2011 7:12:49 PM

Enfield is terrible

I can shoot your nut hairs off one by one across the map burst-firing the AUG

2/12/2011 7:37:13 PM

yeah the enfield sucks baws.

2/12/2011 8:30:04 PM

I used the commando for awhile but find it underpowered in head to head fights. Been using the famas per recommendation and I like it so far.

2/12/2011 8:47:10 PM

yea famas and aug are my weapons of choice. dont see the draw of the commando, i usually hate it. use famas on bigger maps like jungle and wmd. ak47 is nice every now and then for stopping power.

2/12/2011 9:10:28 PM

I've really been digging the MAC 11 with extended mag. The fire rate is high, recoil low, and the irons are clean.

2/12/2011 9:59:47 PM

commando is much much more accurate than famas

2/12/2011 11:06:48 PM

Another vote for the Famas. Its a little different in the hardcore world though bc every gun is two shot kills. I actually find myself using my full auto pistol while playing ctf. When I switch back to regular it takes me a round or two to adjust my primary weapon strategy but I never get used to how weak pistols are, with the exception of the python.

Those guys are camping pretty hard. I think that one guy had on Ghost Pro for sure.

is it typical military strategy to have the entire unit hide while one guy runs back and forth in the open shooting different guns?

2/13/2011 11:11:43 AM

the other fighters are too concerned about hurting their kill:death ratio.

2/13/2011 12:06:25 PM

Dont understand the enfield hate. its the gun I have the most kills with and use the most often. It is the most balanced imo much like the M4 on mw2.

2/13/2011 12:32:54 PM

in that video it looks like as soon as they're under enemy fire, the guy with the camera shoots the guy coming across the bridge

also with about a minute or 90 seconds left, you can see where someone has at least one Attack
Dog but he's not running wild, he's just calmly standing on the bridge

and obviously the camera guy is running One Man Army as is evidenced by him having more than 2 n00b tube shells

i think i might actually be turning the corner as far as my shittiness goes. last night i had probably 6 or 7 TDM with >15 kills and <10 deaths, including one really nice 20/3 effort. also managed to snag 2 flag captures, so maybe marathon pro isn't totally out of the question.

now i just need a larger sample size to see if i just got lucky with even shittier competition

2/13/2011 3:16:48 PM

Let's play.

2/13/2011 3:18:59 PM

i'll be out of commission for about a week with school shit. that's why i had to get it all in yesterday. week after i'm game though

2/13/2011 3:28:48 PM

I was helping Jooooo get his Marathon Pro, by running my own Marathon Pro, capping the flag, going about 20 feet from the drop point, and blowing myself up with a frag

2/13/2011 3:30:21 PM

Having trouble getting on XBOX live and connecting. Anyone else having issues?

2/13/2011 3:48:58 PM

the way i know i'm playing too much is that my left "running" thumb keeps going numb

2/13/2011 10:04:19 PM

Did my first prestige last night...good god it sucks being low level

though I got by making an Olympia class...Olympia, Makarov, tomahawk, flash, claymore, Hardline, Sleight of Hand, Marathon. Pretty fun and effective when keeping to close quarters

2/14/2011 8:32:34 AM

I use my AUG almost exclusively. It has a more predictable/manageable recoil than the FAMAS I think...Plus the accuracy with burst fire can be nasty. I do have a commando class in reserve for when I feel like it though.

In other news I'm getting nasty with the Tomahawk to the point where I run it in pretty much every class I have. Freeloader saw me pick someone off from the bottom of Firing Range all the way up to the path between the tower and garage on Saturday night. My personal fave was picking off someone just getting to the top of the catwalk in WMD last night

2/14/2011 8:53:14 AM

Man I love the Tomahawk. I've run it in every class basically since I first bought the game. Its gives you great odds for getting a kill even if someone has the drop on you close to medium range. The best are when you get a final kill cam with it.

I rarely run grenades, pretty much only when I'm trying to get pro perks that require nade kills. I might try out NOVA gas for flushing people out where otherwise I could use a grenade.

2/14/2011 9:03:24 AM

Does Ghost no longer protect you from helicopters??

I have ghost on my LMG/LAW class and the thing kept killing me also while using my black ops (stealth) class.

2/14/2011 9:08:08 AM

I also prefer the enfield to all the other ARs (other than the G11). It's the SCAR-H of black-ops. Admittedly, I haven't spent much time with the AUG or the commando, i might play with those more and see how I like 'em.

2/14/2011 9:11:47 AM

Ghost only hides you from spy planes. Ghost Pro will hide you from everything except for dogs and the blackbird. Ghost Pro will also hide you from thermal and keep your name from showing up as red to the enemy. Hacker Pro will hide you from motion sensors

2/14/2011 9:19:00 AM

So ghost is just a watered down version of what it was in every other CoD game.

lame...

2/14/2011 11:44:09 AM

Ghost is the worst/bitchiest thing in the game

2/14/2011 12:20:38 PM

I like it...

Second Chance/Last Stand are the bitchiest thing in this game

I at least like that now whoever puts an opponent in last stand gets the kill, even if someone else finishes them off.

2/14/2011 1:22:06 PM

I don't have a problem with ghost as long as it isn't being used by the entire enemy team, like it was after the DLC, and as long as they aren't just chilling by a doorway all game. It's not a top-down shooter -- your eyes trump ghost every time.

^ It's also cool that you can't go into second chance if you're hit with a shotgun.

yeah for real. If you are staring at your map, while the drone is providing recon, then you deserve to get pwned by the ghost who runs up and stabs you.

I did not know about the shotgun part. Are you sure? I knew that headshots and knife kills did not let you go to 2nd chance. Did not know that included shot gun blasts. Seems kinda silly to me.

2/14/2011 1:33:24 PM

Have you ever seen someone get blasted by a shotgun at close range? They're basically a meat patty at that point, and in no shape to swivel around on the ground shooting people with a sidearm.

2/14/2011 1:35:07 PM

But it's nice not having to waste ammo and reload time on mark-ass second chancers.

2/14/2011 1:45:57 PM

I really want to play when I get home.

Stupid VD

2/14/2011 2:26:26 PM

i can confirm that people can go into second chance with a shotgun, i've had to finish off people when running my silenced spas. i'd bet than an olympia or the pos pump shotgun are powerful enough to prevent it though.

2/14/2011 2:28:01 PM

Yeah, I meant one-shot kills, obviously.

2/14/2011 2:30:38 PM

Maybe if its a shot to the legs or arms. Theoretically, someone who'd just been hit with a smattering of pellets could still have the mindset and the cognitive functions to fire a few shots with their pistol as they lay their bleeding out. Even a glancing shot to the midsection would still allow for 15-20 seconds before bodily functions began to cease.

It would be an issue if a player was shot squarely in the chest or stomach and still could gather themselves in Second Chance. The victim would be laying in a pool of their own intestines, struggling to breathe, if they even survived the initial blast.

2/14/2011 2:34:35 PM

I swear some of you sound like god damn hipsters about this game

I liked the AK47u before it was cool overpowered, now I just use the Scorpion with ACOG because its ironic

2/14/2011 2:35:50 PM

this is begining to sound more like real-life theory on shotgun wounds that Black Ops....then again we all know this game mirrors life exactly!

2/14/2011 2:36:45 PM

hey whats in this box? aw sweet, it teleported me into this Huey! hey whats this, a dog whistle? hey we already have two spy planes up, but here's another. cool, this sentry gun has unlimited ammo, as long as someone doesn't stab the back of it

2/14/2011 2:38:33 PM

I still stand by my idea of a game mode where you get 5 lives. First life, you have full control to run around. Second life, your in a wheelchair. Third life, you're legs are blown off, you have to crawl around Lt. Dan style. Fourth life, you can only rotate in place like Second Chance mode. Final life, you're a nugget and can only stab people with the knife in your teeth.

Would be an awesome addition to the current crop of wager matches.

you can crawl and move in second chance

After 3 kills you get a Rascal, after 5 you get magic legs (the same thing on the space shuttle) and at 7 you get an asian mail order bride named Susan.
