Re: aa12

I've always used range on it.

If I'm trying to use it as a primary I definitely have a suppressed MP9 as a secondary, but most of the time I use the AA-12 I have it overkilled with an assault rifle running a specialist package. It's actually a decent combo.

Re: Should the MOAB return?

It should.

However it should be changed for objective games. You should need to contribute to the objective a fair amount as well as get a certain amount of kills to get it. For example, like 20 kills in dom + 10 defends/caps to get a MOAB, or like 25 kills + 20 tags for kill confirmed.

Why semtex? Way smaller blast radius than frags and c4.

I'm pretty sure it means grenades and equipment use...that would make sense, since qd pro does make throwing grenades faster...either way it's a challenge I've never completed, even having sat at a prestige for 2 months. I guess if you really wanted to do it you could become a drumscoper and get a lot f c4 kills and that might work, but otherwise I'd just not worry about the challenge since there's no title or emblem.

Maybe you should being so bad then...you still have to scope in if you want to be accurate and the RSASS is a lot less mobile than a submachine gun. You can fire almost 1000 rounds per minute with a hipspread tighter than an inappropriate simile of your choice....and then your ADS time is like nothing as well.

Dead silence is the counter for Recon. Lol

Re: Handguns, where should I start?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:19:09 GMT

My favourite is probably the Five-SeveN. Huge clip, lowish recoil, which allows you to take advantage of a trigger finger. It's also a unique (and an insanely overpriced gun) in real life. Also a big deagle fan. It is a great gun if you have a really good aiming finger and can get a tight spread. The Magnum is great for getting follow up shots (i.e. if you're ****scoping or using a pump shotgun) because it has a fast draw and low recoil.

The only two I don't like are the MP412 because the Magnum seems better in almost every way, and the USP, because it has too little ammo.

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

Pretty sure the AS50 has the same OSK as the rest of the 98 damage snipers.

It's always seems that way to me, but is it actually true? I think there might be a different scoping animation for the barrett than any other gun, and it seems to be slower. I haven't tested it though.

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:13:25 GMT

Agreed, AS50 and SVD definitely have the best sniper sounds. I don't see what the big deal is about ammo. The AS50 has a fire rate cap so it's actually really hard to burn through too much ammo. I've gone on 10+ streaks without scavenger or even emags.

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:41:07 GMT

Well naturally the more you're zoomed in, the more visual kick there's going to be. When you zoom in you need to get those one shot kills :p

Re: what is the the strongest sniper?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:37:55 GMT

The l118, msr, as50, and Barrett all have the same OSK areas, stomach, chest, neck, head.

In my opinion the as50 is best for long range. The 80% speed shouldn't bother you if you're picking off people long range, and if you can handle the small mag and low zoom.

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:20:09 GMT

It ends up being faster if you put speed on, which is why I use it. I guess I like it over the MK14 because you can move a little faster with speed, and because it's easier to pick off very long range targets if needed. for close range encounters I either spray that bad boy hard or switch to a sidearm.

Scope is better too haha

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

I definitely prefer it over the RSASS. The RSASS is neither a great sniper nor pseudo-AR in my opinion. It sort of lacks identity. Not a huge fan. No way the SVD compares with a OSK sniper rifle for good old fashioned pick-off sniping though. Getting double shots against a running target is VERY tough.

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:01:49 GMT

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge SVD fan. The buff is great. It's still more of an assault rifle in my opinion though...speed+emags and you can go to town with the thing..not very well suited to a traditional sniper role though; the lack of a OSK is critical.

Re: THE BARRETT VS. AS50?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:23:26 GMT

AS50 hands down is the best sniper for traditional sniping. It is way too hard to get follow up shots with bolt actions, and the 90% movement is overrated. The RSASS is only for spamming and the SVD has very limited uses.

AS50 is my favourite over the Barrett for a few reasons. First is the sway. The sway on the Barrett is unbearable. I don't know if the only reason it has less is because of the lower zoom, but either way it seems to be easier to shoot because of that. Second is the low recoil. The fire cap is the perfect time needed to get your sights back to normal. With the barrett, you shoot off all directions and have to learn the timing and it's harder to adjust your aim with the massive recoil. Third is the ADS. It just feels more natural than the Barretts. Maybe it's personal opinion.

Favourite sniper setup is the AS50 Speed + Variable Zoom.

Re: Vests suck

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 02:41:42 GMT

Personally I need to use vests to be on anywhere close to a level playing field...my ping is so bad it's laughable how fast people kill me. It doesn't take that long to pick them up and you're giving someone experience. If you don't like them, go to hardcore and destroy your own teams' vests. Problem solved.

Re: Vests suck

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 02:31:06 GMT

"Ruins the game"

Sound like someone's enemy is using vests and you're upset about it. Maybe if your whole team wasn't spamming specialist and assault, you'd also have vests to use.

Wouldn't be surprised if you were a quickscoper though; vests= ultimate quickscope troll.
