wow i could not buy a kill last night.
what's the easiest way to get cold blooded pro?
i've had it on ALL my classes now for over 2.5 weeks and
im still at 16/40 shit

i was thinking about just grabbing a friend, starting a private match
and we take turns killing eachother thru walls, would that work?

Cold blooded pro? All you have to do is shoot down enemy killstreaks. Just equip a stinger and shoot down any uavs, choppers, etc. Also try to destroy any enemy sentry guns you see.

Cold Blooded Pro is unlocked by destroying air support. Use a class with Cold Blooded and Stinger missiles and shoot down anything you see, including UAVs.

Umm...as mentioned you get it for shooting stuff out of the sky, not for killing people. Did you think you had to "end" their killstreak by killing them or something?
 
lol yea i thought it was for ending someones kill streak, like if they were about to get uav or a heli and you stop them ROFL
oh man i didnt know it was for killing air things, i never equip a launcher, now i will

I almost always equip the stinger...There's a satisfaction that I get from limiting someone's kill total 😉

I used to think the same thing,.. and thought man that is TOUGH!!! Then I realized what it really meant, and now kind of enjoy shooting down stuff outta the sky. I just find it really hard to get a good shot at the AC130 because it keeps sending out those darn flares.
 
i pretty much have the weapons i want already
m4, m16, scar and acr
i don't really have a desire to use any other primary.

i tried the grenade launcher + scavenger pro, it was kinda boring, altho i never ran out of ammo
 
Try akimbo G18s, mp5k, p90. Super fun for CQC. Grenade launcher, scavenger pro and danger close has been the best way for me to score an AC130. So damn satisfying landing a triple kill from a single blast.

I've been using sleight of hand + FAMAS just for fun and I surprisingly love the perk. Paired with an grenade launcher, you reload your grenades so incredibly fast the enemies never see it coming plus the speed of aiming and reloading means I can down air support with my stinger so much more efficiently.

Finally hit 70 last night, woohoo. I'm loving the AK so far, its like a faster firing, bigger clipped Scar.

I think I'm gona wait a while before prestiging, just to bask in the glory of my AK.

That's pretty much the primaries I use, except, instead of the scar I use the tar-21. Scar has never felt right to me for some reason.
 
scar + silencer + stopping power pro + scavenger pro + ninja
is my main loadout
<3 it

the scav + grenade launcher is good for pissing people off "OMG STOP TOOBING NOOB"
ROFL

I really don't like the AK at all. The AK in CoD 4 was much better, this one has weird recoil and just feels off. Trust me, prestige now...DO IT NOW!
 
Stopping power on ACR just feels so wasted to me. The ACR does 30/20 which is a 5 hit kill at range and a 4 hit kill close up. SP reduces the bullets needed to kill by 1, but when you factor in the high rate of fire and RIDICULOUS accuracy (can literally just hold down the trigger and the guy will die even if he's 100 yards away) a perk like cold blooded seems to match the silencer better.

True, but when they're running it can be tough to keep sighted on them. I like stopping power on it.

I hear ya, and I used cold blooded with this class just to unlock pro on it, but it feels like it takes longer to kill someone with out SP. Maybe it's a placebo thing, but I feel like the ACR kills people quicker with SP on.
 
The ACR + silencer + cold blooded is awesome. I agree you dont need SP with it.

I've found that with the scar, though, you sort of need SP if you use a silencer.

Alright...gonna go back to cold blooded tonight or switch it on and off between matches to see if there is a difference with sp on or off.
 
You mention that it's "only" 1 bullet less with SP, that's how it is with every weapon. You're assuming that with the ACR that you're 100&#37; accurate though, which isn't true. Look at your accuracy rating. While it isn't exactly accurate (I shoot alot when I know I'm not hitting a person) even saying that you're 20% accurate that means that shooting at someone in a firefight you're only hitting them with 1 out of every 5 bullets. We'll even say 1 out of every 4 for you more accurate people. That means without stopping power at a decent range on a moving target you've got to shoot at least 20 shots at them to kill them...(and honestly you're probably going to shoot alot more than that). With stopping power it would be 16. It sounds like not much of a difference but trust me, on maps like Derailed when someone is running near their spawn having that 1 less bullet to kill is often the difference between +100 and nothing.

But that accuracy stat is measured across all guns in all situations. It's ridiculous to imply that because your overall accuracy is 20%, you'll have to fire 16-20 shots from an ACR in order to kill someone, every time.

The point is that the ACR's near-zero recoil and high rate of fire means you'll be killing people very quickly and easily with it. Compare a plain ACR to a plain SCAR (let's say both without stopping power). The ACR takes 4-5 shots to kill vs. the SCAR taking 3-4 shots, but the ACR may well place more hits on the target in a shorter time frame because the gun isn't bouncing around from the recoil and it's putting out roughly 4 bullets in the time it takes the SCAR to fire 3. Now, that's only assuming you are perfectly aimed. Some people may prefer a gun with a little more recoil so at least some of the shots hit without having to aim perfectly, while others might rather have a gun with near-perfect accuracy like the ACR so they can adjust their aim while firing without recoil to throw them off. It's just a trade off that depends on how you play.

Unfortunately there's no detailed online stat-tracking like there was with World at War. You could get detailed stats for each and every weapon used and figure out which ones you do best with and which ones you're not good at. You just have to get a feel for what you like and go with what you think you're best at.
