Has anyone Maxed out a gun's upgrade?

Jamyduff · 23-06-2010 02:05AM #1

I'm trying to max out the M16 assault rifle.

I am close to 1000 kills and need only 8 FMJ penetration kills.
Not sure how many headshots are left.

Was wondering if you get a Gold version of a maxed out gun or not?

Jev/N · 23-06-2010 02:18AM

I've unlocked all attachments for most guns, currently working on the Vector, MG4 and Intervention

Nope, you just get one of these for all attachments

By the way, you have to go to 2,500 kills with the gun for this

And, 1,000 headshots for this

I have obviously not got over 1000 kills on any weapon! I have all unlockables on the AUG HBAR.
Have you maxed out absolutely everything on any gun? Full kills and full headshots?

Most overpowered gun in the whole game. Needs a good nerfing.

I have a question about the snipers. When you quick scope is the game just more inclined to give the kill even if you are slightly off target or is it actually bang on the money every time?

I have pulled off a few quick scopes and it felt like i was a bit off the mark.

Not really. Secondary weapons and knife are too overpowered in the game.

The hit detection for snipers is very generous, even more so for QuickScopes. Possibly that is just on the Consoles and it's tighter on the PC...

I'm having a nightmare getting 40 kills with FMJ for the assault rifles but I've found Favela is a decent level for using it as you can fire at people hiding behind walls on the rooftops/aiming up at the rooftops. Tbh, I'm happy getting 1 or 2 FMJ kills per match and don't care what my K/D ratio is, just want to get it unlocked and out of the way!

FMJ Kills - shoot through windows
Terminal/Sub base are great maps for this.
Scrapyard and Derail are good for FMJ kills and anywhere else you find sheet metal Crash/Rundown etc.
If you're having trouble with the ARs wait till you try the smgs (except the ump which is easy enough)

I find Scrapyard is quite good if you run with UAV in tandem. That way you can clearly see when guys are sitting in the L plane section and just blast them through the walls.

Also the generator room in Subbase is handy enough too, as the chain link fencing will get you a few. And then windows in Highrise etc.

Doyler92 · 23-06-2010 01:43PM

On my previous prestige I was getting all attachments for my Intervention.

I had done everything barr the FMJ one.

On 39/40 kills I got a collateral which got me my Extended Mags :cool:

Just to clarify then do you have a gold Intervention?

I remember in MW1 that people had Gold AK47's and stuff but i got into that game way too late. I got into this one pretty late too but fancied getting a couple of gold guns unlocked. Am i wasting my time?
(I know that strictly: yes i am wasting my time by playing the game! but what i mean is can you actually unlock gold versions of guns?!) :P

iMuse · 23-06-2010 03:03PM

There are no Gold guns to unlock in MW2 whatsoever. The only thing you can unlock is Titles, emblems and camos up to Fall. Stupid decision by IW because i enjoyed unlocking all the gold guns in COD4

Jev/N · 23-06-2010 03:41PM

Haven't unlocked everything on any gun yet, change what guns I use regularly enough

I'm assuming you've prestiged so you have the extra challenges?

And no, as already said, no gold guns in MW2

Think I have that for the SCAR, TAR and FAMAS so far. Close to getting it for the M4 this time around, and might try to sneak in the ACR also. Can you get it for the Secondary's as well, or just the primarys?

It's only for primaries, as the attachments unlock on secondaries automatically with more kills.

Mine so far:

Assault: M4, FAMAS, M16, TAR, SCAR, ACR
Sub: UMP, P90, MP5K
LMG: L86, AUG, RPD
Snipe: Barrett

I'm actually more concerned about completing challenges than my k/d!

Yeah, I thought as much. I have gotten through to full unlock on a lot of the shotguns and MP's but no titles, so that explains it.

In many ways, it's possibly a more fun way to play. You are looking for loads of kills rather than trying to play defensively and not die. Of course if you're going negative, you woudn't be much fun to have on a team.

I once had all the unlocks for the AUG HBar, then I reset everything. Right now, I think I need 38 FMJ kills with the SCAR to get mastery for it, I'll need to get a decent few games in something like Highrise to rack up kills towards getting Extended Mags and Mastery.

Can't wait to hit level 32 (I think?) to get my beloved AUG back and get some kills with it.

Yeah, getting sniped by an M16 from across the map is fair...

Well it's not so much the knife as the perk allowing you to jump 4 or 5 feet.

The Floyd p · 24-06-2010 12:12AM

I mastered the UMP and the Tar-21
I have presteiged once and am still working my way to 70 (on 44) so haven't mastered anything yet
Probably closest with the Intervention

AUG HBar destroyed my accuracy rating! Well i destroyed my accuracy rating by using it. I switched from FAL and M16 to this and got very very trigger happy. Went from about 25% to like 18% im back to 19% even but sometimes i'm afraid to shoot in case i miss

Im getting over checking my stats after every game though.

I never found it that inaccurate, with the grip it was pretty solid for me. More assault rifle than LMG really. Not like the other LMGs anyway :P

no the knife is way too overpowered compared to most guns in this game, too many times ive put 2-3 bullets into a guy close to me and he has just instant knife killed me. They should make it a 1 shot kill on any gun from close range to combat that BS

I think the knife is fine? Commando is a joke though.
The m16 is massivly over powered, the argument of it ONLY being three round burst is ridiculous too as 2-3 shots from the bloody thing anywhere on the body kills! Laser pointer accuarcy with the stopping power of a tank = needs to be nerfed super badly.

Game winning kill cam last night on MTDM where the guy was shot TWICE and died! (leg and torso) Not a single one was a headshot and as many snipers know its a common occurance to have to shoot someone twcie with a SNIPER RIFLE for a kill..... this is a bloody assault rifle for gods sake and has the same stopping power???

Again, I think you're wrong. It's identical damage stats to the Famas*. Two bullets from a FAL will kill regardless of where they hit. The TAR/SCAR/AK47 are all two bullet kills that allow you to spray as well, so easier to use than the burst fire guns. A Barrett/Intervention will usually kill in 1 bullet. So at this stage that is 8 guns that fall into your definition of overpowered. Shotguns kill in 1 shot, so there's another 6. We're now up to 14 guns that are "overpowered". Throw in the Machine Pistols and UMP for quick kills and you're at about 18 guns. The L86/RPD and AUG all are two shot kills at any range. The Magnum has insane range with high damage, so lash that in too. So now we're up to 22 guns, which is why I said wrong. Everything can't be overpowered. That's like saying everything is unique. The game is set up to be fast paced with lots of action. Which means that you die quickly, from lots of weapons. Whether you like this or not is another point, but the m16 is not overpowered compared to a vast number of the guns in the game.

Another point is that everyone playing the game is looking for the best loadout to give them an advantage over other people so they can get the big scores/killstreaks. So everyone wants to use the best weapons, as seen by so many people using the Akimbo 1887's before they were nerfed, and why so many people use the Commando perk or NoobTube & Danger Close combo. But to be honest, the M16 is not that common a gun to get killed with. So the masses don't think it's better than everything else on offer. Which suggest it isn't "overpowered".

* Edit. I'm wrong. The Famas is identical in all other stats, but has better damage over range, so is actually a more powerful gun.

If the m16 is so good then why does no one use it?? I hardly ever get killed by an m16. The bullets do more damage but its a burst gun, takes more skill to use then just spraying.

shay · 24-06-2010 11:13AM

Have nearly all done on the SCAR, just a pain-in-the-ass number of headshots left to get (about 70).

Has anyone Maxed out a gun's upgrade?
