Here we'll discuss weapon choices; your loadout preferences and nothing else. Discuss them how you want, flame a little if you feel it's necessary. Just remain ON TOPIC and logical. If you want to say "I hate snipers!" then this is the wrong thread. If you want to say "You're retarded for using a sniper rifle!" then you just have to give reasons why sniping is a bad choice.

So, let's keep it relatively civil, and above all on-topic! This thread has a very specific purpose: educating everyone (especially myself) on weapon choice! I want to know why there are 5 Sniper Rifles when they all seem to do exactly the same thing, why the AK47 takes forever to unlock, etc.

Let's begin!

What is so freakin special about the AK47? I know it's superior in real life, but why is it unlocked last in the game? Does it have an incredibly low recoil or something of the kind?

Shouldn't this go in other games?

[Cthulhu]

OICW was here, AK47 sucks.

SCAR-H with a grenade launcher or P90s with Akimbo and Rapid Fire.

No. That is actually a forum for discussing other Bay12 projects. People just misuse it by posting about non-Bay12 games there.

.50 Sniper with Magnum .44 w/ Tactical Knife. - My fucking around weapons.

.50 Sniper with Silenced Pistol (any). - My sniping weapons.

Riot Shield with Magnum .44.

So basically I fuck around with whatever seems fun.

You can discuss our other games here. Or games by other people.

Penguinofhonor has a point.

SCAR-H with a grenade launcher or P90s with Akimbo and Rapid Fire.

I assume you're tossing Steady Aim on your P90s, eh? My problem with Akimbo is that you lose your ability to fight over range. You're far better slinging rapid fire on it, right? Then you still whipe people out instantly, and you aren't a sitting duck if someone is 50 feet away. I gotta say though, akimbos are nice if you never hit open ground or you're fighting on Rust.

The SCAR-H is the first weapon I worked to get all of the attachments on. It's a thing of beauty, with that damage and accuracy. However the clip size is cripplingly small and I have much more success with a heartbeat sensor or a scope than the noob tube. Of course the noob tube is a guaranteed kill or two if you get the chance to fire it, but once you have enough skill a scope or sensor will net you a spree rather than a single kill or so.

What do you like for secondaries? I use AA12 on assault rifles, launchers or AA12 on submachine guns, and machine pistols on sniper rifles. The only machine gun I ever touch is the AUG HBAR, which is an assault rifle on roids, and I keep a stinger on that to annihilate anything in the sky. Heartbeat sensor, Grip, Bling, Cold Blooded, Ninja, Flash, Semtex.

My best success is sniping with the Barret, and I don't see any purpose in all of the other sniper rifles. Do they have any advantages or any differences from each other? (Aside from the obvious bolt-action slow fire of the Intervention). I get from 3 to 11 kills with it and the machine pistol secondary with ease; it's almost too easy. Stopping Power and moving around beat trying to hide with Cold Blooded unless you play Hardcore. I don't bother trying to hide my sniper; if people come looking for you it's just another easy kill when you bushwack em with the machine pistol or claymore.

If you'd prefer then I will move it.

Emperor J's preferences are cool. They reflect a cunning playstyle and a good connection. I can't do much with a .44 or tacknife, because I'll kill someone and they will just shoot me back. I can literally run up to someone and knife them, then half a second or more later I'll be three steps back and dead. I have to play with maximum putdown power, because even if I get the first shot off it won't necessarily kill the enemy. Sniping is perfect because you shoot someone, and if you don't die in the next second they will explode in gore. Shoot, take cover, shoot, take cover. Someone comes after you, just step out of the way and shoot em in the back with a machine pistol. Shoot half a mag in their face and I'll just be dead when their bullets register first.

[Akigagak]

Or there's, you know, the already existing MW2 thread.

[Gunner-Chan]

That's locked.

Because this guy wouldn't shut up.

[The Architect]

It's locked because I had an argument with an elitist over computer MW2 vs console MW2. This thread is not about that, and it's not a general MW2 thread.

It's not the same in the slightest.

Janet, you could stand to be a little more polite.

[penguinofhonor]

I know my choices are probably bad, but I play exclusively on consoles in college dorm rooms so I prefer to use crazy fun weapons. Also I'm awesome at the grenade launcher attachment. My secondary is always a launcher in the SCAR-H class, because the point of that class is to make explosions.
