re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

Joking aside the Famas is quite good to start off with just try and pull the trigger twice to get 2, 3 shot bursts at your trarget.

re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

i'm currently using the fal, previously used the ump.45 first then the tar-21. trying to get it with acog then thermal scope. having trouble killing guys at a distance with the other two, they seem to always run out of sight before i get to hit them again. hopefully since it is single fire, recoil shouldn't be too bad when scoped in.

on the perks side of things, when using scavenger to pick up claymores, claymores you pick up don't blow up?

re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

The M4 is fantastic IMO. I use it silenced with scavenger, stopping power and steady aim and find it is a really good combo. Steady aim means I win more than I probably should of close range 50-50s even against SMGs. Scavenger means you never run out of ammo (great if you are killstreak chasing to get a nuke like me) and it also resupplies your equipment slot from any enemy you've killed so you can have several grenades in one life or several claymores etc. Stopping power just helps me cos i'm slower than I should be in 50-50s and also gives me quicker kills from long range before the enemy has chance to get out of sight.

IMO its the best all round weapon. You can kill people from across the map or from 10ft away. It's excellent to aim with through the irons so need for red dot and also there is next to no recoil so you can aim whilst still firing really easily which I feel gives me an edge.

re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

I find the AA-12 shotgun as a secondary weapon is incredible.

I was playing some games today with nighthawk and unlocked it, it's got the stopping power of a train, only downside is the short range of it.

I too like all the guns, (not used the snipers or LMGs yet though). I am no good with single shot semi-autos like FAL, but it feels better then the M14 or G3 from COD4.

Best thing about the P90 (as with COD4) is huge magazine, been using it with marathon because the mag is huge enough to not need the fast reload as much and the 100 bullets mean the scavenger perk is not that necessary.

I am interested to know how the Famas and M16 compare.

re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

I was using the SCAR quite a bit with Holographic sight and Silencer. I've just unlocked the FAL and have now switched to this with red dot sight.
I find this much steadier and more control when firing at a distance. Only problem is when you get someone run out in front of you
.......then you start mashing R1 to try and get the kill

The same story when I started using the FAMAS, but then realised what good a secondary gun does .

re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

My favourite weapon so far is the SCAR-H, I have found it absolutely brutal at pretty much all but the longest of ranges, using it with the Holographic sight and Stopping Power atm.

I agree 100% slinky. Mine is now red tiger,going for the last camo (fall). I've done 210 head shots so far. I also love the M16 and ACR. The acr is a mean beast of a gun with very little recoil

re: Your best Weapon & Perk Combos ?

I use the M16 with the Holographic Scope.
It's short bursts which some don't like cos you don't win 50/50's but 2 quick blasts from any distance & job done.

Just upgraded the Cold Blooded perk to Pro so I can now think about my Secondary weapon instead of the Stinger I've been using.

Perk Combos - What works for you?

Ok, so I'm 10 hours into MW2 and am really enjoying everything (apart from the Hi-de-Hi campers).

My question is around the massive number of Perk combinations available and which combo works the best for you and why?

I seem to be getting spanked by better players constantly and wonder what Perk combos are more popular than others.....

Debate commence.....

Re: Perk Combos - What works for you?

If you keep getting spanked, i'd go for the anti-spank perk.

Not really sure if any perks help against better players.

Re: Perk Combos - What works for you?

I was getting spanked royally until i got to rank 20 or so.

I then switched to bling perk so i could have a sliencer and red dot sight, I use scrambler which makes it hard to be seen on radar and stopping power.

i find the use of a silenced weapon and the scrambler essential. I used to play only hardcore on cod4 but alot of people don't and depend on their uav to tell them what is infront of them.

SCAR with Bling Pro - heart beat sensor and silencer

Cold Blooded

Ninja

Ultimate in stealth killing and hunting campers

Just want to replace the SCAR with RPD when have unlocked heart beat sensor for it.

Other wise is use Scavenger Pro, Stopping Power Pro, Commando / Scrambler Pro with different assault rifles / smg's

Re: Perk Combos - What works for you?

Sleight of Hand Pro/Bling Pro depending on the gun
Stopping Power Pro/Hardline
Steady Aim

Don't see much reason for anything else atm

Re: Perk Combos - What works for you?

It all depends on how good/bad a player you are as to what perks work the best. It also depends on what gun you are using and which map you are playing.
