I really want to love the ACR but I feel like its speed to kill without stopping power is just too slow. There have been way too many times where i see someone and get a couple shots at them and they just dont go down.

For hardcore, the ACR is awesome, though.

I can't pin down which gun is my favorite.
 
KDR can be misleading since some players play objective matches and ignore the objectives entirely, instead going for kills only. Which is fine, I don't mind them doing that but it does help inflate KDR.

That's why my K/D has dropped is because it seems i'm one of the only ones who believe in capturing flags in domination rather than camping them.. haha.

Only noobs try capturing flags, real gamerz camp so as not to damage our ratio (then we can talk smack about how we owned you even though our team lost).

I played a guy on CoD 4 (a MLG guy...I've yet to meet one I've liked) who was playing a game of Domination and his team got absolutely obliterated but he had the most kills and talked about how he "won."

I enjoy killing so I play TDM. If I'm playing Domination or CTF games I play that style game, I don't play TDM.
 
Major League Gaming maybe?

Exactly. It seems that everyone who wears has a MLG gamer pic just so happens to be a jerk. I've yet to meet a decent guy. One guy got mad that I killed him a bunch of times in CoD 4 and sent me an XBL message saying something about raping my mother and hacking my account and such...over a game? I mean come on. The others just talked too much crap (like the kid who sounded like he was maybe 12 and had his team lost but "won" because he had alot of kills on Domination).
 
Anyone experience a speed glitch/hack? I joined a game tonight (Ground War/Domination) and everything was sped up. It was like fast-forwarding a video. The sounds were all high-pitched too due to this increase in speed.
 
no speed glitching, but i tried playing after a few too many beers. I was dominating at first, 22-5, 16-3, then things got ugly 9-12, 6-15, 16-30, 5-threwthecontrolleratthewall.

I stopped playing after that.
 
I have been rocking the MP5 lately. I got Highest Kill/Lowest Deaths 4 times just last night, after never getting it before. I love lightweight and marathon, I'm like a rabid squirrel running around.

I played against some dude last night doing that and it was very annoying. He would run up so fast, I couldn't get more then 2 shots off before he was in my face stabbing me. I switched to a shotgun, and killed him a few times, so he just ran at me super fast with a shotgun then.
 
They really need to change commando or something, even the regular knifing. There shouldn't be any sort of energy sword lunging at all in this game. They need to make it that if you want to knife someone, then you have to be next to them, not warping like 10 feet and getting an instant kill despite getting shot like 4 times but the game doesn't register them since you're lunging.
 
A friend and I played against an entire team of akimbo 1887 users last night in Domination. They just rushed our spawn on defence and rushed the bomb sites on offense. It was quite annoying. We won, and our entire team was positive. I can not wait until this game is patched. I miss 3rd person.

I actually experienced that once in CoD 4 and I never figured it out. One game I joined was going super speed. I thought maybe it was latency but everything worked fine (shots registered, etc). I never saw it again.

MP5K is one of my favorite weapons. Other than a shotgun (which lacks the range) the MP5K is the best close range weapon there is, it sprays bullets like crazy.

I played this game for the first time last night and this happened in the very first game I joined. It never happened again in any of the games I played in the following 3 hours, though.

This game is fun but I am absolutely terrible at it. The only thing I haven't totally failed with is running around knifing people with commando, cold blooded, and marathon on. Even then I did not achieve a positive kill:death ratio. Oh well, hopefully I'll improve with practice.

You are dead on with your statements. I'm sick of shooting at a gun running at me, then all the sudden I get the death cam because he somehow quantam leaped 10 feet and stabbed me.

Really I think the only two things that are in dire need of fixing (besides gliches) are commando and the akimbo shottys.
 
Guys, you are not getting meleed from 10 feet away. It's just lag. It's the same thing as when you see a killcam and the guy was shooting in a completely different direction when you saw it on your end, but in the killcam it looks fine. Or, when you register 4 hits against someone who then kills you, and you see in the kill cam that you only hit him once. It's lag.
 
I was owning up last night and this morning with an RPD + grip. My previous highest kill streak was 14, but in my first 5 games last night I had killstreaks between 15-20. I didn't have a negative k/d ratio until my 10th or 11th game where I went 13-14 (it was domination and I was trying to capture points while the rest of my team camped the one that we had). I went from k/d ratio of .98 up to 1.01.

Does anybody know how many headshots are needed for the last camo (Fall) on the RPD? I know Red Tiger is 150, and I have 101. I'm going to try to finish off the RPD completely before I prestige.

The problem is I am sure the code "accounts" for that lag. A snipe shot that does 150 damage would kill someone instantly with one shot. Now, if I am shot by someone with said rifle, but I don't "feel" the shot until a bit after (1 second?), rather than killing me, it instead does 99 damage.

Plus, you do teleport with the knife with commando. I do it on my own screen. It should scale with the amount of damage you've taken. Each shot cuts the max distance you can score a kill in half, until you are either dead, or you are at extreme close proximity (touching).

Also, the hit boxes in this game are retarded. Head shots should be 1 shot kills, no questions asked. They should do 10x normal damage. I am tired of getting "Assisted Suicide" headshots. It is stupid. I've done it multiple times, and even had it happen to myself once. That, and when shooting under someone's shield (at their feet) I score headshots is pretty lame as well.

It's called Commando, not lag, and you're right, they're not being knifed from 10 feet away...it's more like 15 feet.
 
I wonder how they will "fix" commando...i don't see them removing the perk. I think they'll just reduce the distance a bit, but its either going to make it pointless, or not do enough. They already have the tactical knife attachment...

Same with akimbo shotguns. Do they remove it (doubtful), make it less powerful (probably) or just make it less accurate?
