    Favourite and not what you think is best 'cos I assure you it's the player not the gun that makes the difference.

    Mine without doubt is the F2000. I love that it's so underrated, widely hated, fantastic rate of fire, sounds awesome with or without a silencer and a headshot machine.

    Seriously this thing will own anything in cqc except maybe the MPK5 or Vector and possibly TAR.

    Recoil takes getting used to and you're never going to win shooting full auto but it really is very good. Grenade launcher helps with recoil and removes campers from hard to reach areas.

    F2000 w GL
    Secondary not required
    Scavanger Pro cos you burn through bullets
    SP Pro is essential
    Steady Aim for close encounter hip fire

    win win:D

    Scar-H for me, can get headshots from halfway across the map with it, 1-2 single shots fired and down they go. doesnt need stopping power as its powerful, extended mags are essential though, or scavenger/OMA to replish ammo, as you'll go through the entire capacity in a few encounters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭claiva


    Loving the UMP at the moment.
    Add a silencer and its beast.
    Scav.
    Stop Power.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,608 ✭✭✭breadmonkey


    Primary: Scar, Tar or FAMAS

    Secondary: Akimbo G18s - despite the noob stigma, I think they're by far the most effective secondary: accurate, decent range, high powered, quick to whip out, quick to reload, pretty big mags as well. /awaits flames

    just started a new prestige recently so ive not got much unlocked. Im loving the MP5K FMJ, spas red dot secondary. Scavenger, cold blooded and ninja. Not sure why im having so much fun with these guns lately, but im finding them great for hardcore search and hardcore tdm :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭Creasy_bear


    tar / ump


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,920 ✭✭✭The Floyd p


    Intervention,
    Don't really like the Barrett I must say.
    My favourite secondary is either the PP2000 or the Spas-12.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    AA-12 Rapid fire shotgun

    Its currently the most lethal hand-held weapon on the planet

    BOOM!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe


    Tar-21.

    Primary: UMP-45/ silenced

    Secondary: AA-12 foregrip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Growler!!!


    UMP w/silencer
    G18 w/silencer

    Been getting used to the FAL. Once the red dot is unlocked the iron sights are woeful..........


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 3,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭The Real B-man


    SCAR H or M4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    SCAR-H with silencer and ACOG sight, i've been using it since I unlocked it a few days ago and all of its habits are second nature for me now.

    Once I'm more confident in my skills I'd like to try out the FAL or an SMG, any recommendations?

    FAL.

    I was a big fan of the G3 in COD4 and so was always comfortable with the single shot assault rifle. It really is a fantastic gun if used correctly and there within lies the problem. Most people don't really know to use it, they just bash the living daylights out of the buttons constantly :pac:
    I've been told I cheat and that I use modded controllers when using the FAL , but honestly I don't. I just shoot quick if it is needed, very quick.

    If your patient and unlock the red dot sight, you'll love the FAL.

    If your going to go down the SMG route, I'd recommend the Vector. The only problem with the Vector though is the size of the clip is tiny.

    Anyway, whatever you do try something different instead of the predictable guns. You'll become a better player for it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,692 ✭✭✭shawpower


    I actually love the Uzi as a SMG. It took me a while to get used to it, but it's rate of fire and lack of recoil make it a nice weapon. It's lower damage though so you will lose 1v1's if you don't stack the odds in your favour by other means.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    One of my favs in the game is the AUG Hbar. I generally use it with the Bling perk so I can get it with the grip and one of the sights, and it's pretty great that way. I'm also a big fan of the SCAR (minus the mag sizes), and once I get it back, I'll probably use the ACR a fair bit.

    For the secondaries, I love the spas 12 shotgun (I still findly remember managing to get the double headshot challenge with it once and being accused of hacking) and the PP2000 machine pistol. I never could like the G18, I hate being sprayed to death with someone Akimbo-ing them, and found them to be somewhat of a pain to use myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    UMP Silenced and SPAS-12 with Grip :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 417 ✭✭youllneverknow


    acr hbar striker tmp

    that is all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,239 ✭✭✭Lurching


    I tend to favour different ones, ill pick one at the start of the prestige level, and keep using it till I get all the way to level 70.

    This round, its all about the Scar with Bling - silencer and launcher and a bit of stopping power.

    AUG HBAR w/ grip and FMJ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    AUG HBAR w/ grip and FMJ

    Great gun, really underrated too. It reloads not much slower than an assault rifle and packs a wallop and big mag size so its dead handy, have it on my anti air class which is alongside stingers, scavenger, cold blooded and ninja.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭SoulTrader


    My favourite was the Tar-21 for a long time. Now it's the RPD with grip and red dot sight, and stopping power as a perk. Massive mags - 5 kills are easy without reloading, but then a long time to reload.

    Honourable mention to the Famas, which is also a beast when used with stopping power.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,007 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    The Knife...preferably with commando but not 100% neccessary


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC

    Famas and UMP. The UMP in particular is ridiculously overpowered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Throwing knives should get an honourable mention, they're just awesome :D nothing like getting the game winning kill with one


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


    Claymore - Best weapon ever if you kill someone with one then anticipate where they will come back from with another one in wait for a lesson in revenge killing! (scavenger of coarse)

    click ..... boom!

    Someone got a great kill against me last night with a throwing knife, from the raised area above the plane in Afghan, I was by the gun emplacement and it took me in chest. Beautiful shot.

    Pity he stuck around, someone blew him to pieces with a predator before I could get back up there.

    If I wasn't so attached to the Semtex (get it, attached, sticky bomb, ba-dum tish) I'd be getting some practice in with the throwing knives.

    Wouldnt you be ... trolling?

    I plant a claymore, snipe from a good spot, if it goes off I plant another where I think he'll come back from the get out of dodge. If it goes off 10 seconds later your pretty much assured its the same whingy teen coming back for the person who he assumes is still there.... just like you did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 dhagendas39


    Assault: AK-47, really powerfull with good rate of fire and mag size, only thing that people find bad about it is the kick it has which is grand when u get used to it and u get a lot of headshots with it, i think it would be every1 fav assault if it didnt have the kick!:D

    Smg: ump, deff the best i think, 1 of the most powerful guns in the game and the recoil is very controllable when u learn to burst fire well, all the pros use this and the famas/m16 the most.

    Secondary: spas, so fun to use and the range and power of it is beast and u can get loads of good clips out of it:D. the pp2000 is the most reliable i think though, it reloads super fast and u can pretty much use it as a primary

    ive been usin loads of diff guns lately doin challenges and a lot of the weapons i thought were bad are quite good, i like the f2000 alot, the recoil isnt as uncontrollable as every1 says it is, im usin the fal now, i hated it at the start but got used to it fast, its really powerful and its a headshot machine!!:D still wont use it after the challenges though cause i find it a little awkward to drop shot while tapping r1:o

    guns i hate:mad::p, mp5k cause of the stupid recoil, striker cause it seems soo weak and annoying, and kinda the tmp cause the clip size is tiny and i dont have extended mags yet:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,411 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    javelin beep beep beep beeeeeeep lol

    The MPK5 is monsterous up close. Put stopping power/rapid fire/steady aim on it and become the most hated person on the internet :)

    Claymores are my crutch too!

    well whats the difference between that and hiding in a bush, killing someone, then waiting there for him to come back looking for you? none, therefore: camping.

    Read the post Krudler........ "and get out of dodge" ... as in leave the area? If I am not staying in the same area after a kill how exactly this camping?

    Trolling: fail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 188 ✭✭Anthony Walsh


    Reading all these post just reminds me that MW1 was a way more balanced game, it upsets how unrealistic it has become. Back to the point favourite weapon, dont really have a set one i'm always swapping around because i seem to have good days and bad days with guns, my most picked weapon would be the stinger lol. Then m16 or intervention or UMP or famas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 104 ✭✭bluemooner


    it can be tough not to use the UMP silenced the whole time seeing as its so powerful. but i also like to use the famas aswell. what a turbo daycent gun :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Ended up tossing a coin between the Vector and the UMP (the FAL doesn't suit me to be honest, i'll give it another shot when I'm better at MW2) and the UMP won out, quality weapon really. If it came with a burst fire mode like the FAMAS it'd be even better for a new-person* like me since its rate of fire drove me a little mad spraying bullets all over the place.

    Since i'll be giving the M16 a go at level 40, I figured I'd spend the time until then trying out the SPAS, an LMG and a sniper rifle. I've seen people on here saying the AUG HBAR was a good choice, any other opinions on that? I've never been a machine-gun type, sticking to rifles and smaller guns but I'm willing to go nuts on this one.

    *noob
