Supressor or not?

    Just curious as to how many of you use silenced weapons?

    In MW2 silencing the TAR and UMP made them easier to use in my opinion but these were the only ones I really used silencers on.

    In Blops I can't seem to get any benefit from the silencer. The Famas and AUG are ok but I just think the damage drop off on range outweighs the not showing up on radar.

    Do you usually use silenced weapons? 52 votes

    Just with the famas other than that no.

    Afaik . The galil and spas have no damage drop off with the suppressor .

    I know for sure its the case with the spas, not so sure about the galil

    use it sometimes on my "leggers" class with the SMG - only on tight maps, flank and then roger them from behind :D

    Extended mags all the way, unless it's on the galil / famas / spas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 667 ✭✭✭DazzlerIE


    No to supressor, not worth the trade off in distance, and power

    Only in search and destroy.

    I used to use Ghost and suppressor religiously (awaits boos and hisses) but from about 3 prestiges ago when I used the default MP5K class and found that it was quite good without a suppressor(plus I liked the sound). So basically now I generally have 2 classes for each gun. e.g. Galil, Supressor, Ghost. and Galil, Extended Mag, Flak Jacket and likewise with the MP5K. Mostly use the flak jacket ones but will still use the suppressor fairly regularly.

    Galill mainly and the odd time on the uzi and Spas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭JustPaddy1


    Just with Galil and Famas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,051 ✭✭✭jimbling


    My Stealth/Anti air class is a Galil with suppressor... but I don't use it that often. Normally I just switch to it when required.

    I have recently started using the Famas silenced with lightweight and marathon. Good old craic.... but don't use it enough to warrant saying yes to above, so I'll say no.

    Often use it. For some of the larger maps I use it on the AK47 which along with the famas is probably the most versatile assault rifle. Like the commando but with a silencer i just seem to do rubbish with it. Use it on the AK74 on levels like nuketown and summit.

    Can see why the Galil is popular enough choice for a silencer like it good range means what it loses from the silencer makes little or no difference to the damage unless ya try going sniping with the thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭GEasy


    Forgot to say I don't use supressors, except for the rare time the SPAS-12 comes out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,278 ✭✭✭x43r0


    I use it with on the Ak47 with Hardline, SOH and marathon


    Great for flanking at the beginning of a match and racking up a quick killstreak before the enemy knows whats going on


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


    Always found the Galil to be great with a supressor


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭yimrsg


    I think only my domination class (ak47 w/ dual mags) & my sniper class are unsilenced as I tend to get attention with them even if they were silenced.

    I've used silencers on pretty much all of my guns bar LMGs and if there were silencers on them I'd probably use them to. I think you get a higher k/d ratio than unsilenced (saying that I got my highest k/d ratio using my domination class).

    The ak47 & commando are very good silenced whilst the Kiparis is a beast with a silencer. Chews through the ammo though. Also the m16 at long range is good with one too, though it needs a sight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,139 ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    Extended mags or dual mags for every class except my anti-air class.

    I use Silenced Galil and the Strella as secondary.

    Perks:

    Ghost Pro, SOH Pro and Ninja Pro.

    Maybe it's just me, but like the UMP in MW2 and P90 in COD4 when you attach the suppressor onto the galill it's feels like there is less recoil being produced. I could be wrong but I think I've seen that mentioned a few Black Ops gun comparison vids too.

    Good point but it might just be the feel as you say more than anything since you dont have the sound of gunfire it feels more controlled. On the commando I actually notice the weird side recoil more but different gun altogether. Never got into using the galil (dont like the look and reloading) except in zombies where its class!

    Use an AA-12 suppressed the odd time, apart from that its a trusty M4 with plain 'oul iron sights :)


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


    I normally run with either extended or Dual mags. Both have advantages but in the main I prefer the extra ammo and faster reload to the larger clip.

    I do run silencer on a few classes, and normally with either the FAMAS or the Commando. The Famas has such a high rate of fire, that the damage drop-off isn't such a drag. The commando is like the ACR so accuracy trades off with damage as well. :)

    I used to use the famas with silencer too but after reading the comments here about the Gallil I swapped it and find it works really well :) For some reason my beloved AK47 turns to poo in my hands when I put a supressor on it:confused:. Thanks for all the replies it looks pretty much split down the middle!

    I forgot to vote myself so I have now pushed the "Nos" ahead

    The Galil is a beast of a gun in slower paced games. I run close to a 2 k/d with it. Not as useful in frantic games of DOM, HQ etc, due to it's fire rate. But in TDM and Search and maybe CTF it is close to unbeatable imho.

    Also, if you hook up Extended mags to the Galil I think it gives you a 50 bullet clip.

    I don't like using the supressor, extended or dual mag for me.

    i dont mind any attachemnts really as long as they serve a purpose . dual mags quicker reloads suppressors keep you off the maps etc its the sights that bother me its a waste of attachment space since the gun doesnt actually shoot better or worse without it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Have used the silencer on sniper class, but found unless you hit the head, the target would survive at long distances. Don't usually use it on my runner class, as I want a quick kill, not a quite kill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33 Conza41


    I only use the silencer with the Famas in Black ops, it just doesn't work good with any other weapon than that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Dues Bellator


    Hardcore = Yes , Softcore =No

    Don't forget that you get an additional 50% more ammo when you run with Dual Mags. So for the Famas you get 120 rounds normally, but 180 with Dual Mags. To me, this is nearly more important that the quicker reload, as I normally use SOH anyway. It also means I rarely need to use Scavenger in BOps, where I used it a lot in MW2.

    Siliencers are for pussys. I tried it with the galil and famas and they're just so much nicer without. Besides the fact that i hate using guns without extended mags, i like to make myself seen anyway. Easier to get groups of players coming at you.
