I tried this setup based off of a youtube video by TmarTn and it is ridiculous:

AK 74U with rapid fire and Grip.

Scavenger (believe me, you run through ammo fast)
Warlord
Third perk is whatever you want, I used marathon.

It definitely slings the rapesauce.

interesting

if I get a chance (whenever I am allowed to play that is) I will try that setup

i lol'd.

Set this up last time i was on, but i got off right after that before i tried it. I will definitely be slingin some rapesauce next time i get on.

I've been sporting the 74u since I unlocked it with grip, but hadn't tried warlord and rapid fire. I'll give that a go tonight!

I'm Pathfndr97 on Xbox 360.

See you guys in there.

i may give the rapid fire a try...the predator sights on the ak74u aren't great with the amount of recoil that thing can throw when you're popping off a full clip, would probably be easier with iron sights

I'm txaggieof08 on PS3. Just got going tonight, made it to lvl 10 and am doing better, I average about a .5 on TDM, which for never having really gamed console I thought was better than nothing.

The Stoner is ridiculously fun to use.

How are you guys able to play with each other on PS3? Is there a TexAgs clan tag?

PS3: antman8504

I am playing mostly with the AUG and sometimes with the AK47U. I see alot of people use the FAMAS, but it has too much recoil for my liking.

Perks are hardline, sight of hand and marathon.

I am still trying to figure out the best killstreaks to use.

Thought I would throw out some of my strategy tips y'all might like:

1. Carry a launcher at all times! I have never cared for pistols and shotguns are no longer a secondary item. The Strela launcher (aircraft lock only, you start with 2 rounds) is so awesome against spy planes (1 shot kills) and against any choppers (2 shot kills). In most levels spy planes are easy to see and shooting them down almost immediately really helps you and your team. I'm also amazed at how easy and quick you can kill choppers. It's pretty easy to find something to get cover behind, peak out and launch a rocket... reload & repeat. You are saving your team at least 5 kills by taking out the choppers within 30 seconds of them arriving. If you combine this with Ghost Pro, even chopper gunners go down quickly.

2. Get Hardline Pro and equip it! I defintely have one class (I call it "Invisible" ) where I have silencers and Ghost Pro, but every other class has Hardline. If you follow the advice from #1, spy planes aren't that big of a deal cause you shoot them down immediately. But hardline pro with care packages is completely awesome. First of all it makes it easy to get a care package, second of all you then get two chances to get something awesome. I would say 75% of the time now (with hardline pro) I'm getting something better than a spy plane/radar jammer...I've gotten at least 2 Chopper Gunners this week.

3. Silencers: Now, I only have one class with a silencer equiped (on the "Commando" assault riffle you unlock at level 44), but I swear the silencer cuts WAY down on the gun recoil. I don't have proof of this, but I can take a fully auto assault riffle and unload on a guy and it's fairly steady while aiming down the sights/scope. Without a silencer I'm having to keep it to 3-5 round bursts before the gun really starts moving. If you are having some trouble keeping a steady aim, try the Warload perk and equip your favorite sight with a silencer. I also haven't noticed a ton of damage reduction with this equiped (it takes down "range" by 1 bar)... I've killed plenty of guys at long range with a couple of burts from an assault riffle. Silencer: Good for keeping a low profile and keeping your gun steady!

4. Pro Perks: Pro perks take time to get, I'd recommend focusing on these as soon as possible: Hardline, Ghost, & Slight of Hand. For those that like to sprint with sub machine guns, steady aim pro is also very good. Harline Pro lets you get a "second chance" at a better killstreak reward in care packages, Ghost Pro makes you completely invisible to not only spy planes, but choppers and sentry guns (your "red" name also isn't visible to enemy players), Slight of Hand pro lets you aim down the sights quicker, and Steady Aim pro lets you aim quicker after sprinting and you recover quicker from knife lunges. Overall though, I think Hardline Pro and Ghost Pro are the two most powerful perks in the entire game... too bad you can only choose one or the other!!! Never try to get Last Stand pro... never equip that perk because as soon as you do you are a dirty little noob who likes to rob people of their well deserved kills and you will be hated forever!!!

That's all I got for now, hope this helps!

good post

got a question, asked earlier but must have been lost along the way


how do you get hardline pro? would look myself but work filters block anything gamingwise

do you have to share your care packages or something?

Yes, sharing care packages is the "hard" requirement to get Hardline Pro. This works best when playing with friends cause they will go out of their way to get it for you if you tell them it's coming in. If you are going solo, it definitely helps to have a Mic and to ask people to get it for you. I've had my entire team ignore spy planes to the point that it literally just goes away... but funny how they come running when it's an RC car or attack chopper!!!

Like I said... easier to do when playing with friends, but easy enough w/out... you'll just have to give away some good care packages to make people care enough to "waste their time"!!!

funny you said that about hardline pro perk...I CANNOT get past 2/10 on sharing drops. No one will grab them...and I am mic'd up telling them to grab it.

Hardline Pro is awesome... but sharing your packages with teammates can be frustrating.

I'm working towards Hacker Pro and Steady Aim Pro at the moment.

BTW, Ghost Pro was hard for me to get. I had everything except for the "destroy a Sentry gun" and it took a long time. My advice is always have a class with Ghost equiped and whip it out whenever you hear that an enemy has one incoming. Kill yourself if you have to, but get your Ghost perk equiped. It takes strategy to get the Sentry gun and you obviously have to keep killing guys on the way, so don't just run towards it blindly cause you will die.

It's just that you rarely see the sentry guns and when one does come out, typically you aren't the only one going for the Ghost perk. When I finally got mine, the enemy sentry gun was announced... some other guy exclaimed, "sweet, I need Ghost Pro"... I kindly responded, "good luck bro, I'm going for it too". I totally snuck up on it with my ghost/silencer class, killing some dudes along the way... I was right in front of the sentry gun about 10 feet away... killed one last guy... then made a run for it... some dude popped out behind a corner and started blasting me, but I knifed it right before he killed me. Ghost Pro unlocked... the other guy sighed, "nice job man....."

It's tough! It took me longer to unlock Ghost Pro than it did Ninja Pro (which requires you to set 10 bombs in demolition).

Yeah bro, you gotta be willing to give up the really good care packages (choppers, RC, even a chopper gunner!!!!) just to get there it seems. And, of course, you gotta guard that thing with Claymores while you hide around the corner ready to shoot, cause the other team loves to rush care packages drops.

What I can say, though, is that it's painful to give away good care packages to teammates, but unlocking Pro is so worth it. You will get so many good care packages once you unlock that Pro that over time it will more than make up for the ones you gave away. You'll be back to "that's my care package!!!!" in no time!!!!

Actually the gatling gun was the first thing I did. It took me longer to get 30 planes down.

PC user here but I've played the hell out of this game so my thoughts:

Guns:

I'm an AR guy all the way, so its the Famas/Aug until you unlock Commando (lvl 44), then it dominates. If I'm in a sniping mood I'll also use the bolt action rifle (the others are pretty horrible). I haven't tried the AK74u grip and rip mentioned above though, so I may try that later.

Secondary:

Big Maps - the lock-on anti-air launcher with 2 shots.

Smaller Maps / Domination - Ballistic Knife. At first I wondered why anyone used this thing when you already have a knife but WOW it is crazy at the moment. On Nuketown I just run around hacking away in the houses and it's near unstoppable (granted, you become "that guy".

Grenades/Equipment:

Do whatever, just know that the claymore is pretty crazily powerful.

Perks:

The two that are pretty non-negotiable imo are Hardline Pro and Slight of Hand Pro. Both easy to get and level to pro. For Perk 3, I prefer Hacker Pro, but Marathon Pro works too.

I adjust these slightly depending on game type, so my "Search & Destroy" class has Ghost, my sniper class has the Scope one, and my capture the flag class has Marathon.

Killstreaks:

The most powerful KS at the moment is Chopper Gunner, which will dominate if you do 2 things: as Hacker Pro, before activating, scan the map for red outlines of SAM Turrets (will shoot you down fast) and kill them or wait till they go down, and make sure and focus down all enemies standing still first, as they are probably trying to lock on to your chopper. I've gone around 80-5 in some lucky rounds with this KS.

Then assuming you are Hardline Pro, Care Package is pretty much a must, as the second chance really helps you get something useful.

For the last one, it really doesn't matter - I normally go with the masses and do the RC-XD, but they are kinda cheese and I'd be fine if they were taken out of the game.

ARRGGGH! I destroyed a freakin' turrent but it didn't record it. I snuck around the corner and sprinted to slice it from behind. At the same time, a teammate on the other side of the map was killed for the game winning kill. I swear it gave me the points for it but it didn't show up on my ghost pro checklist.

about to lose it.

....


keeps hanging at the "waiting for other players" portion of the match start. i can still hear people talking on the mic, and i'm not dropping my internet connection, as I'm staying signed in to PSN.

anyone else catching this? severely hacked off.

something going on with the game, cause I had issues as well.

i had the same issue last night as well

gave it about 10 minutes then I just turned it off

This is actually a "myth" , the silencer/red dot , neither affects recoil, but the other site does limit it... check out these videos:

Red dot versus not:

reflex versus red dot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LijI4IlWc-o

silencer vs. no silencer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WO3xu2cAqQ

I love WoR's videos... he really goes in depth in some of the analysis and on what works/what doesn't.

I need to hit the PSN action with some of you, I've just been playing mostly by myself.

I know a lot play HC and I've never really gotten into that, is it that good?

Well, agree to disagree! I don't use the FAMAS which has a really high rate of fire. On the Commando assault riffle with a full blast of full auto, with silencer, the gun holds a lot more steady than it does w/out it. I'll have to do my own tests to verify this I guess.

sounds cool. You should test reflex on it as well and see how the spray changes

Alas, poor Yorick!

This games party system is probably the worst I have ever seen. Constantly getting my party dropped, if we get in a game it only hangs and drops my friends while in the lobby. Then it will kick me into a game without them causing me to quit and take a loss.

I have had about enough of this game. The only thing keeping me around is HC S&D, which in my opinion is an entirely different game. Everything else is just blow hards camping and trying to increase the e-peen while I get railed trying to get objectives.

Only thing I play is hc s&d

Check out this LUCKY toss...ain't that some Bullsheet!

Am I the only one that actually likes the SAM turrets?

I feel like it really helps the team if you can keep it from getting taken out.

PSN: BstAtRealThing

Love to play with some of y'all sometime

I've been using:

AK47u with iron sights and suppressor
Cross Bow

Ghost Pro
Slight of Hand Pro
Ninja Pro

Semtex
Decoy
Claymore

RC-XD
Napalm strike
Attack Chopper

RC-XD is almost always worth one kill, napalm strike is always worth 1-2 kills, but I may need to rethink the attack chopper. Seems like it always gets shot down fast.

After reading this thread, I may need to try the grip for the AK47u.

Please add me PSN: Sniper_Peet
Playing a ton this week.
