I'm not liking the 74U.

I guess my play style is different but I have been doing good with the M-16, red dot, silencer.

The first gun I used was the M-16 and it was rough for me I like the fully auto's. I still fire in burst but coming around a corner to meet an opponent unexpectedly I need to be able to lay down the spread. As soon as I could I got the Famas and I love that gun too but the 74u just turns it up to 11.

Has anybody had any luck with the AK47??? I've heard some mention of people really liking it, but geez, that thing just kicks like a mule for me and after 2-3 shots it's all over the place (using reflex sight). I will probably never use it, but just curious if anybody else swears by it (and if so, what's the secret?).

SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH HEAD SHOTS???

I still hear the *clank* whenever I get a headshot, just like in the other CODs... but in Black Ops, many times the guy escapes around a corner after I get the headshot noise. What the freak is up with that? I've tried this out when I sneak up on an unsuspecting camper and at close range it seems the headshot is still a one shot kills (I even get the *clank* sound to confirm). But many many many times I'm shooting a guy and the *clank* does not drop him. Sometimes he escapes, sometimes he drops after a few more rounds in the chest.

Shoot, I've even had multiple *clanks* when shooting a guy ducking behind a barrel and the jerk still kills me. Is this really frustrating anybody else??? What's the deal here?

right now the ak47 is my go to gun

i use it with the masterkey attachment (shotgun) and have found great success

shoot in burts, don't just hold down the trigger
*pop pop pop*, release, *pop pop pop* release

just my $.02

this applies for most automatic guns in this game

I've never had an issue slaying in any of the CODs, but last night I played a game on Grid that put me in my place. An entire team wielding LMGs in a demolition game. They locked down every inch of the map and sprayed like mad men. They were around every corner, every window, and every hallway. And not moving! Just proned or kneeling. It was impressive, they knew every possibly route to get to the plant spots. Needless to say we didn't get a single plant, but I was still able to come out positive in the K/D. Barely(closest I've come to going negative in BO).

i like the wager matches, sticks and stones is fun as well as the gun game

RR, I may have played against that same group the other day.

We were playing demo in Havana and we managed to go plant and blow up B (in the alley) but by the time we turned our attention to A (in the building lobby) they had every window and street corner covered with M-60s. To make matters worse, they started getting air support and pinned us all in our back-corner spawn. I must have shot down ten helicopters and hit with 5 napalm strikes. Needless to say, I went way negative and we never even planted on site A.

74u+ rapid fire and grip is da shiznat.


I've never really gone positive, and had never turned a 5 streak until I unlocked and setup that gun....BOOM, went to the top of the board 3 matches in a row.

If I am in a game and I see the party icon next to everyone's name on the opposite team, I normally just leave cause I know I am about to get my ass handed to me

Added Rapid fire to the 74U. That makes a huge difference. On tighter maps I really like this set up.

On the wider open maps where longer shots are common I still like the M-16 w/ silencer and red dot.

i find the m16 is one of the most underpowered ARs in the game right now

very disappointed, as I loved it in previous CoDs

Anyone else noticed an uptick in the number of people playing with Nova gas?

Also, "Gun Game" is ridiculous fun. Hopped on a gun game in Nuke Town with 6 other friends and it was ridiculous.

rapesauce setup has improved my game

I'm learning the maps better to so that helps

NPH,

Couldn't agree more.

RIP MW 1&2 M16. Your dominance with a red dot will sorely be missed.

I had been using the 74U religiously, until the other night when I ran out of ammo and picked up a dead guys Stoner.

Submit to the Stoner. That weapon is a beast.

Tried the 74u again last night and just not seeing it.

I do much better with the Aug. And FAMAS on the tighter maps.

Stoner = Destruction on any map that doesn't require you to run. It makes you run so slow.

With that said... On Nuke Town, it is absurd. I have a +200 kill game in demolition with it.

saturday morning dec 4th. i've had about 30 connection errors in the past half hours. ridiculous.

ps3?

74+grip+rapid is only good on hardcore, it seems.

Still digging the 47 with reflex on all others.

I play with the 74 on regular TDM and destroy regular TDM daily and rape with it, especially considering how bad I suck at these console FPS's

AUG has been amazing for me.

Marsuvees, I see you've been playing search alot lately... Do you play hardcore??.... I was going to send you an invite earlier but then I saw the time and only had like 1 or 2 games left in me

Ps I mostly play search and hq but on hardcore

PSN: fast03cobra

didn't read through the whole thread but can anyone tell me if the issue with "disconected due to transmission error" on PS3 has been discussed already in this thread and if so what page?

I starting using the famed last night for the first time... wow I love this gun
Was playing with welcometoerf gmv and others last night and I think the first map I used it I went 45-4

And holy crap how have I not used the gunship before? That thing is amazing

Famas
Damn you phone and your auto correct

Why in the world are noob tubes still in this game? Seriously, I can live with RC-XDs, flamethrowers, ballistic knife cheesers, rocket launchers, and huey spams, but I'll be damned if I can think of one reason that the grenade launcher is still around.

The Gunship is epic.

my connection issues have let up a little, but 3 different times yesterday the game froze during a match. Anybody else having this? Starting to think there is something wrong with my ps3

i think it happens from time to time with everyone

When I try to load Black Ops on my PS3 the screen comes up for me to click "OK" to download software v. 1.03, but everything freezes up - I can't click OK or cancel and I have to eject the disk to get it to unfreeze.

Anyone had similar issues?
