Practicing what you preach...

    No-one can truly say anything against the cheapness of Danger Close Pro Grenade Launchers, Commando Pro lunges from half the map or One Man Army if they've unlocked Commando Pro, Danger Close pro, purposely unlocked the Tac-knife, completed Grenade Launcher challenges on a few assault rifles etc etc etc and all that other shíte.

    I for one have never used Commando, not once. I have never used the Grenade Launcher on any gun on my account, not even the Thumper. I have never used Danger Close or One Man Army either.

    I do this because I can play/win/kill without any of it.

    So do you constantly complain about these flaws but still use them?

    Or do you practice what you preach?

    Or do you prefer to play "Grenade Launcher of Duty: Modern Commando"?

    I don't use commando ever. I use the tactical setup so never really knife that much.

    Danger Close, I don't use it on any class besides my booster hunting class. However I do use the noobtubes occasionally. They're quite handy if used properly tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭CptMackey


    I have a class with
    Scavanger
    Danger Close
    Sitrep

    Ak with Grenade launcher
    Rpg


    If people dont like getting killed by it they should just get better.

    I also have a speed class m+l+c

    Commando Scum.
    I use Commando.. to get my 20 commando kills thus getting commando pro.

    I use Danger Close.. to get my whatever the number is(100?) thus getting Danger Close Pro.

    I don't use them whatsoever after achieving that. It's all leads to more XP afterall as well.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,456 ✭✭✭Jev/N


    Not on PSN but decided to reply (actually don't know why this is specified to be PS anyways?)

    I use Danger Close now and again, depending on the game type - say for instance HQ Pro - mainly as I want to get Pro for the extra Air Support damage but also it's sometimes the only way to deal with people camping in the HQ

    I don't really like Commando but have used it, especially each time after prestiging, as there isn't much of a choice and I leave it on some classes.

    OMA is brilliant tactically; I can switch to another class with hardline when I'm close to a killstreak or I can switch to DC Pro to give my air support more damage. I've used it before when I've been the last alive in S&D with enemy airsupport up, changing to a stealth/coldblooded class and winning the game

    TBH I couldn't give a sh1te if you have "never" used OMA, DC, Commando, Noob or Thumber - it's in the game and if I don't use it, it can put me at a disadvantage.

    Fair enough, I don't use the overpowered combos OMA/DC Marathon/Lightweight/Command, as personally I think they're a bit a cheap, but each one to their own.

    poll made by angry 12 year old :rolleyes:. i never use commando but have tried it once just to confirm to myself how easy it is. i use the OMA, danger close, pro pipe set up A LOT :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    I use Noobtoobs and commando regularly enough tbh, but.... im still 100% sure im alot better than you when i just use my regular AK or Intervention setups.


    On maps like estate and fevela i use the Tac knife + M/L/C setup if im bored. Its fun every now and then.

    No poll option for I use a mix of anything. I have used a commando pro setup, a danger close set up, one man army etc... Don't use them all the time, in fact I've a pretty even mix up of all classes and weapons so I don't get bored. Bit ridiculous to have such strict options and no in betweens - biased really.

    I assume you don't use grenades? Or kill streak rewards? Because a lot of those aren't actually SHOOTING, and may give you an unfair advantage over people who don't have them.
    TBH it's a game, people are well within their rights to use whatever combination of perks have been made available to them by the game devs. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Ive used mine to complete the challenges, Danger Close IV and Commando IV, but seeming as their is no option in the poll to pick an "i used them to complete challenges" option, i didnt vote.

    I use Danger Pro for shooting down air support, with slieght of hand and Ninja, i shoul dreally use cold blooded though but since i have that challenge completed i switched to danger close.

    commando and Tac knives i have unlocked, but dont use them, prefer, marathon, lightweight and steady aim with a P90.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,207 ✭✭✭hightower1

    Including teleporting around a map with commando? Thats a broken perk and you know it. There is a reason its not being included in black ops.
    By your logic camping and boosting are fine too if thats the case, if the devs didnt put in safe guards against them sure they must want you to play like that if thats the case.

    Complacency on fixing broken or bad ideas in a game on devs behalf is no excuse for taking advantage of them for easy kills.

    Whats your definition of an "easy kill"? If I run into a room and see a guy with a sniper rifle looking out the window and he doesnt know I'm there, thats an easy kill, so should I fire off a few rounds to let him know, even things up a bit?Or am I taking the easy way out by walking up to him and shooting him in the head?

    The combination of marathon, lightweight , commando pro and tactical knife is easy. I used it a few times simply to stalk guys using this class in matches. Killed no one else but them to teach them loosers a lesson and yes it very easy kills. Completely unfair and unbalanced, as you imagine I had to leg it past opponents (playing the game correctly and with skill) shooting at me but with all three perks on its like trying to hit smoke. It takes no skill what so ever to use this type of play.

    Lol at this part, yeah I'm sure they "learnt their lesson" and stopped doing it because you knifed them a few times.

    I dont see how running right up to someone hoping you dont get spotted is any cheaper than sniping them from across the map when they dont even know you're looking at them, at least if someone is using M/L/C you can hear them coming. you cant tell if someone is gawping at you though a small window or sneaky sniping spot.

    If you keep getting killed by the same person using the same tactics then change yours, its that simple, for people like you the next COD game should be set in the American revolution, and instead of freely roaming around a map players line up and march towards each other blasting at an oncoming line of enemies with muskets :rolleyes:

    I dont snipe myself but I dont have a problem with snipers as its a geniune real life and in game tactic that does require skill.

    And perhaps for people like you the next cod game could be set back even further in time , perhaps the middle ages where you can all have sword and dagger fights perhaps? If you want to kill people like that play assissins creed, if you want to play a first person SHOOTER try use a gun for the majority of a match at least.

    I dont use tac knives at all, havent got a single one unlocked on any gun aside from the default Recon class, I use throwing knives, because they do require skill and they're oh so satisfying. I'm obviously gonna stab someone whos right in front of me if I run into a room and they're right there, rather than spraying and hoping i hit him with bullets, anyone who says they dont is a liar. My usual class is Scar with silencer, M9 as secondary, scavenger, coldblooded and ninja.

    your posts make you come across as one of those players who just complains and throws a hissy fit every time they get killed by anyone, those bastards, using handheld devices that make bullets fly into me! unfaaairrr!

    This. I also never use the throwing knife cause I plain suck with it. I've only ever gotten about 3 kills with it, so I gave up in favor of a grenade or semtex. I haven't unlocked any tac knives cause I prefer my PP2000 or a shottie to using a pistol.


    And as for the handheld bullet firing device, I'll learn ya, once I get my psychic powers!

    My issue is with people who use nothing but marathon / lightweight / commando / tac knife all game long.
    Knifing someone when you have the oopertunity is grand thats totally fine IMO but doing it constantly and teleporting around is a joke.

    Throwing knives again do require skill and have no issue with them, I never mind getting killed by a throwing knive mostly cause it looks freakin awsome in kill cam but if there a class with infinite throwing knives with no need to pick up and they used them non stop that would be a pain in the a**e

    The main reason I have commando on a class is the no falling damage when you unlock pro. Its very handy for some of the maps to have it equiped. I like the option it gives you, I dont use Tac knives with it though, P90 and a D.Eagle or a shottie.

    Also, gotta love Scavenger and infinite throwing knives :P

    Fine by me, I only really use the default Recon class for revenge if somebody is flying around stabbing people mainly because I dont have Tac knife equiped to any handgun in my own classes.

    Not to bothered about people stabbing or noob tubing, if thats the way they want to play, let them at it, it just means I have to adjsut accordingly, and ig that means I have to go stabbing back then so be :pac:
