For LMG's the AUG and RPD are probably the best, I'd give the edge to the AUG overall but both work well (RPD's drum magazine is like 2.5x the size of the AUG's magazine though).
 
Lately I have been feeling burnt out on the game. I'm at a level 59 (haven't prestiged or anything) but every Domination game I join (favorite type of match) its always the same shit. Guy running around super fast with a tactical knife, people using noob-tubes thinking they are amazing, teammates not working to get A/B/C or not working together period.

The last few times I've played, I've only completed maybe 5 matches tops where after I say "screw this" and switch over to Netflix. Hoping that doesn't last forever.

I played a lot of Domination/CTF/Sabotage in the beginning, but anymore a lot of people just see it as a way to boost their k/d while they pick off those trying for the objectives.

TDM isn't quite the campfest it once was, so you may want to give it another chance.
 
with all the people playing this here how come no one has set up a cod night or something? could be fun. run some 4v4 customs or what not...

set it up. Thursdays are good for me. xbox of course.

Sorry I goofed. I meant I play a lot of Ground War, not just Domination, so it adds Team DM to it. Like I said, people not working as a team gets old very quickly. Not giving up though.

I'm also willing to play whenever. Any of you guys feel free to add me.
 
I'd be up for a MW2 night. Might actually be a good opportunity to get some good objective-based games in since they're so hard to find in the pubs.

We've already done a MW2 night...twice. I'm always up for another though.

Damn... another glitch... infinite care packages. 🙁

You're a little behind the times with the news.
 
alright guys, i want to buy this, but i hear so many people bitching about how its worse than the one before it, and there are too many glitches etc. is this true? it seems like a lot of people (at least from what i read on the internet; i know, not always believable, and most of these people are probably whiny bitches) are stopping playing.

is it really THAT bad? i want to get it on PS3 if that helps.

I've played several dozen matches and I've yet to be in a match with glitches (that I noticed anyways). The knife runners are damn annoying though. They need to be nerfed.


well i was in a glitch match tonight...
I had on cold blooded pro and ninja pro... guess what.
I was on hearbeat sensors the entire match, and I even showed up in white in someones thermal scope twice.

Showing up on HBS even if you have Ninja Pro is a known bug in killcams. You aren't actually visible when the person is playing.
 
make it a weekly thing. if forza can do it. cod can do it.

That's what I was thinking. As long as the time is reasonable (I'm not up for a midnight match), I'll make it. The Forza group rotates who gets to pick the match rules, who the host is, etc. Let's set something like that up.

In fact, I'll do that right now...
 
Played a few matches this morning and used 3 things I've never really used before and liked all 3.

1) Heartbeat Sensor - The only reason I used it is it was on a Bling M4A1 I picked up. Granted, it wasn't great, but I enjoyed seeing a little Blip right before I encountered the guy. Not cool enough to equip full time but different for sure. I take back my "it's pointless" mentality, although I will say that I still think there are better attachments.

2) Claymores - This isn't my first time using claymores, it was my first time to put them down en-masse. On Underpass (my least favorite level) I pretty much locked down one section of the map (the entire TF141 spawn side) and held it by myself, ended up going 36-5 with 3 Harrier strikes (one of which I stole from an enemy care package after waiting him to sprint towards it), 2 Pave Low's (one called at the very end, no kills with it 🙁 ), and lots of chaos.

3) Danger Close + AT-4 - I've used Danger Close, I've used an AT-4, I think I've even used them at the same time. I played Terminal twice and my gosh it was mean. I got a triple kill to start one game, a double kill to start the other (both times spawning on the OpFor side). Just wait till you see the slightest sign of an enemy and let it go. Once I unlock RPG's I'll have to see if it works even better, AT-4 only has 1 shot and takes forever to reload. Started my second game of Terminal 20-0, ended up 27-2.

The RPG-7 reloads a lot faster and has two shots, but it's not accurate. It spirals around so it's only accurate at medium-short range. The AT4 is good for a much longer range.
 
Meh, I wouldn't call the AT-4 accurate by any means...and most of my kills with it are medium-close range...we'll see.

BTW, Queasy is dead even on kills and deaths now, about to go positive!!!

What's my kill count / death count? I think I was at 1.31 last night.
 
I got Wargasm last night - you have to get all 3 killstreaks in less than 20secs. I got the Pred Missile and killed 6 people with it; Jumped right over my harrier strike and right to my Chopper Gunner.

Wow, 6 people with your pred? Nice! What were you playing?

I can't remember, his just stood out as 1.00 (and his kills and deaths happened to be dead even).

I got that and the "Kill the entire team within X seconds" challenge as well, although I only had to get to my Pave Low. I got 3 or 4 with my Predator and instantly called in a Harrier Strike and the bombs killed the others. That was on Quarry.
