Only thing I was disappointed about was that the wildcards counted towards the 10. I thought the 10 only counted weapons/attachments/perks/lethal/tactical selections. Though I understand why they do so I got over it.

summary: how do we best use pick ten, to bolster our own strengths or to harm our opponents?

True this. I spent a lot of time with the HK21 in Blops 1, and whilst I used SoH it was more for the quick raising of the sights than for reloading. If the amount of bullets in an LMGs clip isn't enough for you to give yourself some breathing space to reload, you're doing it wrong. I was fairly mobile, but I tried to keep most of my gunfights at range, where the gun REALLY shone.

RnG is still possible with LMGs, you just need very good anticipation and keep an eye on your clip. Overkill + Fast Hands would benefit this playstyle as you can have an emergency fallback weapon should you get caught short.

Actually yes it did make the LMGs a little too strong. They are allready strong weapons when used correctly. To make them reoload faster like an AR would make them too strong and too easy to abuse.

I love my full auto sniper... aka mk48.. espeically with vz and a silencer. If it had the same reload as the AR's.. heh.. it would dominate the match against any other weapon even though the movement is slower. Since I play to ITS strength instead of thinking it should play to mine.

Plus LMG's are not meant to be used as RNG weapons ever, even if you can, that is not what they are for and never have been nor ever will be. They are meant as defensive weapons and not agressive weapons.

So really if your trying to go all out agressive with it and dieing because you are reloading too often that is your fault and not the fault of how the LMG's work in the game.

I never implied that you or anyone here worked for Treyarch.

I do not work for 3arch... nor does anyone on this forum. I gave you my opinion. But this is BO2 not an older game.. stupid or not you do not have the ability to do it. period

I know I could die, but i'm talking about why LMGs don't have an option to have a faster reload like in the other games. Was it OP or something to have a slow-maneuvering and slow-ADS gun that you could spend a perk slot on to help the reload speed? I didn't think it was OP at all, but i'm guessing that Treyarch though differently.

Well you can.. you can do whatever you want. You just have to realize that by doing it you can get your kills then you have to reload and you might die. just like if you miss your first or second shot with the ballista well youll probably die

I shoot lots of people, which means lots of reloads, especially if they're wearing their lag comp vest. They're all using SMGs, while I have a MK48. It's not like I'm playing TDM either, i'm playing Dom, Demo, and HQ, so enemies are going to always be hiding near me.

What is stopping you??

100 round magazines with 6 second reloads > 30 round magazines with 3 second reloads.

Because you can aleady get 6-8 kills without reloading. that is the point of having an LMG the huge clip size plus the high damage. Its for suppresion fire not RnG

Slap on Adjustable stock onto the LMGs and you are pretty fast if you keep your aim down.

As for reloading. You do that how many times compared to every other gun? You have 100 bullets in the drum/box. You don't need to reload as often. If are constantly reloading after each kill with an LMG then it is your fault you get killed reloading a gun that probably still has 60+ bullets left.

They could just do like you said ealier: Tape 2 drums together. Why punish LMG users? We already have slow movement and ADS speed, so why make it so that we can't run around with them without having to run for a safe corner to spend 6 seconds reloading the MK46 or LSW? I only use the LSAT and HAMR now because it's a little faster.

Re: The Pick 10 system is a lie.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:41:54 GMT

But there is not Slight of hand. They changed that into an attachment. And an attachment on a drum will not make you reload it fast. Its just mechanics of the game.

Re: The Pick 10 system is a lie.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:24:54 GMT

No, they could just do it like Sleight of Hand, where the reload animation is faster.

You have never been able to use a sniper without a scope (besides WaW) they gave you the choice to be able to use the ballista without one. But dont be happy you got something... just be upset you didnt get more.

As for the LMG with fast mag...i dont know why that is, thats a wierd restriction but im sure 3arch had some reason for putting it in. But its probably becasue The LMGs do not have "Mags" and are not meant to be able to reload quickly. what are you going to do tape 2 boxes/drums together???

NO... you are not showing that it doesnt provide as much freedom as pervious systems. You are proving that in this game you have LESS advantages than you have had in past CoD games. The Freedoms you have been provided with is the ability to choose which advantages you want in a wider variety than any past CoD game. yes your overall # of advantages is less in this game than in past games, but you have more variety to be creative with. Everyone has 10 pts to create a class within the SAME LIMITS everyone else has.
