I never knew that Non-Wii players like Gooseva actually care about the Wii forums (figured out he's Non-Wii cuz he said that he uses Pred Missle). I feel so...weird...

@Gooseva What do Non-Wii players (like whatever platform u play on) even think of Wii???

Here are some classes you might want to try out:

1. KILL WHORE CLASS

KSG damage ext mags-this increases the chance of OSK and gives ammo

magnum no attachments-if you get a hit marker, switch immediatly, can use and other pistol, but dont use tac knife or dual wield because it makes it switch slower

semtex- for long range

concussions-they throw faster than flashes, you get two, and they are useful for invading buildings

sleight of hand- reload faster and switch weapons faster, also, no need for scavenger, you have enough ammo with ext mags

quickdraw-ADS faster to shoot ealier (every second counts with pump action guns) and toss equipment faster (u dont wanna get caught in the middle of tossing a concussion or semtex)

steady aim-increased hip fire when you dont have time to scope in, and ADS faster after sprinting (remember, every second counts)

Deathstreak-juiced (least nooby)

killstreaks-depends on how comfortable you are with the class. if you like it, go for the osprey or the juggernaut. if you dont, go for the predator or use support.

TIP: choose one area of the map, preferably the center, and destroy your enemies at close range. try to avoid long range fire fights.

2. MOAB CLASS

KSG-12 Damage ext mags-this increases the chance of OSK and gives ammo

skorpion silencer-great at close range and is reliable for a quick kill

semtex- for long range

concussions-they throw faster than flashes, you get two, and they are useful for invading buildings

scavenger-so u start with a bunch of ammo so you'll have emough for the MOAB

quickdraw-ADS faster to shoot ealier (every second counts with pump action guns) and toss equipment faster (u dont wanna get caught in the middle of tossing a concussion or semtex)

steady aim-increased hip fire when you dont have time to scope in, and ADS faster after sprinting (remember, every second counts)

deathstreak-juiced (least nooby)

KILLSTREAKS-SPECIALIST (specialist is good for getting moabs because you will get extra perks and proficiencies)

2 kills: Sleight of Hand- you want to get this as fast as possible so you can switch weapons and reload faster

4 kills: Assassin-get this to avoid annoying emp's, uav's, thermal, and marksman

6 kills: Hardline-this last perk doesn't really matter, but you wanna get that specialist as soon as possible! (also, you can get helpful assists-counts-as-kills)

TIP: This will get you ur moab. just play safe and stick to the outskirts of the map. after you kill a few people, move on to a different section of the map. if u are playing domination, stay away from the B-flag, if you are playing capture the flag, stay away from their flag, etc... STAY ALERT! PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE!

3. JUST-FOR-FUN CLASS

KSG-12 damage and grip-this increases the chance of OSK, better for steady aim

g18 akimbo-spray through your opponents

c4-blow up multiple enemies upon detonation

flashbang-blind your enemies and take advantage of their confusion

scavenger-more ammo, more pain, more fun

hardline-get your killstreaks quick, you wont be alive for long......

steady aim- better hip fire for g18's and ksg

deathsreak- dead man's hand, you'll be dying alot, so u can just rush in and blow 'em up

killstreaks: 2 kills-uav 4 kills- predator missile 5 kills- precision airstarike

use the uav with the airstrike to take out waves of ur enemies

use the predator missile to target a few people

TIP: throw a flash, rush in to a hallway, and spray with ur guns. also, strategically throw your c4 to kill multiple enemies. this class is designed for complete destruction, or complete failure. rush into the center of maps or buildings and take out everyone who is inside. play with friends and run in packs to destrot the other team

Here's what I have to say to that idea...

ACR Hybrid Sight focus as primary, AA12 Damage Ext Mags overkilled as the second primary.

Get in a pinch point, pull out the AA12, and just tear it up close range. Use the holographic on the ACR for medium range, and the high-power on the hybrid for long range.

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 16:51:08 GMT

I use ksg as my primary shotgun, although it is getting obsolite just like the AA12 because of how badly they need to nerf the OP SMG's. Everybody anymore uses pp90 on the shotgun maps (arkaden, dome, hardhat) and it's getting very antiquated.

I use KSG with Ext Mags, hipfire it so you don't need to worry about the irons except at a longer range, range or damage, (damage for regular, range for HC... range in hardcore makes it borderline OP) with specialist to get the proper perks...

With Ext mag, you won't need the full magazine, but I prefer it being that you have just 1 or 2 rounds too few shots in the regular, and with ext mags, you can shoot about 6 shots before having to worry about reloading, and if you get snuck up on in the middle of it, you still have about 4-5 in the hold to panic shoot.

I don't rememeber what my perks are on it offhand, but I know I have hardline pro and needed to put SOH Pro on for the MP412 Akimbo that I use on it too, and use scav at 1 kill. Then I have assasin at 5, and I forget what I have at 3.

Best thing to say is keep it around for if it's usefull to use because of people who aren't pp90whores and mp7/p90 morons and actually like playing with good guns. Otherwise, use PM9 and MP9 Akimbo.

Hmmm maps :

arkaden suits me the best, and seatown

Cheers dude, im just starting the USAS grind, and focus has just been unlocked

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 07:07:01 GMT

Any with lots of corners....er all of them if you know all the routes or take control of an area with a buddy and/or Port Radar

All the small maps are really great though, and some medium sized maps like Seatown (northern quadrants) are great and Mission (the Middle of the map and along the slope), and outpost in the "Sniper locations"

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:31:14 GMT

What maps are best for the ksg?

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:03:53 GMT

true it is inconsistent but its the best shotgun, very similar to the Olympia minus the only two shots since it was a double barrel....I gotta make a blops Combat Training run now

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:08:14 GMT

Says a little pikachu

The Model, aaah you never know when you kill with one shot or two..... it sux in my eyes, but i dont like it, the ksg is faster in firerate and in more 1 shot kills from close, yea the model has more range, but those always give hitmarkers......

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:57:02 GMT

Don't listen to Silent, he's a scrub
So what you wanna do is scrap the KSG since it's just a Model wannabe and go with the pro version (its the Model if you didn't know)

The little things matter. Like the "Moho jump"

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:11:49 GMT

When i tested this with some other people i know, it showed that it improved the range, with around 3 steps, it doesnt sound that much, but it really does show, use that quickdraw to optimize it.

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:09:07 GMT

Question about the "Dead silence extra range" :

Does it actually improve the range, or does it only help you closing the gap between you and your opponent in a stealthy way, thus sort of "boosting your range" in a tactical way?

I agree with VAMP;

Grip is 100% pointless with the KSG.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 00:35:21 GMT

Thanks for the tips, I'll have to try them next time I get on. :D

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:12:11 GMT

I would say, put Damage, and Extended Mags. Followed with Steady Aim.

Should fix the problem.

Re: KSG Tips?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 19:19:14 GMT

Just a few tips.

DO NOT USE GRIP

DO NOT USE KICK

Damage works really well, and it can make up for range.

Extended Mag is probebly the most useful attachment

Hip fire works REALLY well, if you can get used to it you can get really good.

Steady aim works well.

I really tried everything to stay on my goal for 1000 headshots, so just try it all, happy to help

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 18:22:14 GMT

Wow! I know this wasn't my post, but thanks for some additonal insight and tips on KSG set up. Will try your recommendations. Thanks, Silentshot!

Welcome to my division sir :3

Ksg Red dot range works the best for me, but there are some special tips i have, and i will share them finally.

Dead silence gives a little bit extra range when using damage on it, i suggest that, quickdraw is useful, why? Well it you can kind of quickscope with this weapon, it gives mre accuracy since it counts for aiming, but you can actually see it better thanks to the hip fire looks.

Steady with damage and grip is a good combination to, you only miss the dead silence extra range, but you can hip fire it all, so no need for quickdraw ( assasin is useful )

Silencer actually is really good, it works well with damage and dead silence, again, quickdraw is good for the quickscope trick.

Extended mags is not really needed, if you like the normal sights, go with grip, this shotty already has a big enough magazine before you reload.

Sleight of hand is really useful, and specialist scav as first one.

My class :

Ksg red dot damage or range ( two classes, i use the range the most )

Sleight of hand

quickdraw

dead silence

specialist

scav

assasin

steady aim

other thing not needed but okay

throwing knife

deagle tac knife

emp nade

Other class : aka the silenced class

ksg-silencer-damage

tac knife deagle

Sleight of hand

quickdraw

dead silence

specialist :

assasin

scavenger

steady aim

Another good class that works the best with people who use the standard things.

ksg-grip-damage

Sleight of hand

assasin

steady aim

hip fire the most with this class

specialist :

scav

dead silence

quickdraw

Hope that this helps a little, post your scores with them, and try to test em all.

This info comes from someone that has the 1000 headshots with the ksg, the 2500 kills to, and golden 5 times now.
