I like the HAMR, raging they never put the rpd in it, its in the campaign.

actualy i picked up the hamr when I ran out of bullets and it was fairly handy.Must unlock it.

I've been in love with the rpd since CoD4!

its a shame they dont include new guns in the DLC.

B1ue

I haven't used any of the LMGs at all, never been a fan of them in any game, i might give them a try since people are giving them a good review, but personally the gun ive used the liked the most is the msnc with Grip, laser sight and fast mags, those attachments are kinda generic for any gun that i use.

Also question for everyone (i didnt read all the pages so i dont know if this has been asked) but has anyone got diamond camo yet?

Can yee not spot the enemies yourselves without needing a big red target?

It's perfect for finder campers who just have the head stuck out behind some object!!!

I've never used optics on any of the CODs (probably why I do so poorly come to think of it) I would have thought supressor, laser, fast or extended mags are all better options.

I posted this already on the megalove thread but for absolute hilarity start a private match with 9 enemy bots on recruit level on nuketown, set warthog, vtol and dogs as your streaks, watch the mayhem ensue :pac: 398 kills in one domination match for the lulz.

hmm, be interesting to see how nerfed the smgs are, might cut down the laser/hipfire users. I do love the pdw-57 though (no laser)

Detailed video walkthrough of the changes in 1.07.

All SMG's weapons got nerfed, stuff like bouncing betty & lightening streaks got a delay so you have time to duck or cover, UAV's now cost 425 so no more UAV spamming!

spawning is a joke. 1 game and I got shot 4 times in space of 1 second. one replay and you could not see me then I spawn and shooter gets easy kill.

so annoying. That and campers. All over the shop they are.

Nice one, nurf the people running around. Lets get everyone sitting back headglitching with assault rifles. There's nothing wrong with any of the guns. All the while they do nothing about the lag. I spent a couple of hours playing mw3 today. There's no comparison in hit detection between the two games.

Gameplay Balancing

The following is a list of numerous gameplay balancing tweaks that were made after thorough review of statistical data from usage patterns of weapons, equipment, perks and scorestreaks since launch.

Scorestreaks:
UAV: cost increased from 350 to 425.
Lightning Strike: added 750ms delay


Equipment/Grenades:
Bouncing Betty: increased the grace period between trigger and activation by 200ms.
Sensor Grenade: increased the range (now 1000 units), frequency (now 800ms between pings), and amount of time (now 6s) that players appear after explosion.
Concussion Grenade: decreased movement penalty and turn speed penalty when hit.


SMGs:
All: increased hip fire recoil.
All: increased max hip fire spread from 4.75 to 5.
All: reduced bullet penetration.
MSMC: increased recoil slightly.
PDW-57: increased recoil slightly.

Assault Rifles:
All: reduced idle sway for more reliable long-range aiming.
XM8: reduced lethal range of 3-hit kills from 250 to 50 inches.
XM8 + Select Fire: increased recoil.
FAL OSW + Select Fire: increased recoil.
SWAT-556 + Select Fire: increased recoil.
MTAR: Made auto aim values consistent with all other assault rifles.

Sniper Rifles:
All: increased hip fire spread.
All + Laser Sight: increased hip fire spread.
XPR-50: increased recoil slightly.


Shotguns:
R870: reduced one-hit kill range by 45 inches.


Pistols:
B23R: reduced headshot multiplier from 1.4 to 1.
KAP-40: reduced headshot multiplier from 1.4 to 1

there's a few things in there I didnt even know were issues, Treyarch at least do patch this stuff.

Kinda glad the UAV scorestreak increased, its ridiculous the amount of them during a match, glad the sensor grenadr got a buff I like those.

Shifty Shellshock

I'm surprised they wouldn't increase footstep sounds just a tad.

I agree with you there are too many head glitching spots on the maps, but I think they are addressing the lag issues in this patch...at least i hope so, it's my only gripe with the game at the moment.

P.S. I dont believe the SMGs needed to be nerfed.

SMGs were so powerful and accurate, even while hip fired, that they rendered ARs redundant so I'm delighted they're addressing them.

Yeah, now you can sit back with your target finder/assault rifle and camp your hole off. Like every other **** cod before this. Not only have they nurfed the people running around with smgs, they nurfed the Uav. The only good thing about the game was that people had to keep moving. I played 5/6 games this morn and all Tdm is now, is ******s actually lying down with the target finder.

Well done treyarch.

KERSPLAT!

Im actually suprised there aren't more target finders about. I only see one or two every 3-4 games

squirrelohara

Im getting connection interrupted about 3 or 4 times a game now. Fairly annoying

I find that it blocks up too much of my screen so I have no peripheral vision when I ADS. I think the negatives outweigh the positives to be honest.If you can't see an enemy standing in the middle of open ground with your own 2 eyes without a big red dot then there's something wrong with you.

When I use it, it's more for picking off the head glitchers. Usually get a red box before they pop their head over
