Best Class? Need Your Input

Posted by codcom on Jan 14, 2013 6:52 PM

So I'm working on an article for our website called "10 Best Classes in Black Ops 2" and to complete our article, I need your input.

 

I know everyone has different play styles and my favorite class doesn't nessecarily have to work for you. But I'm trying to get a general idea of what classes people are using.

 

Could you reply below with what you think is the best class in Black Ops 2. Or in other words, your favorite class.


Weapon:

Attachment(s):

Perk(s):

Lethal:

Tactical:

Scorestreaks:

Wildcards:

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread.

    Silly article. There are no best classes.

     

    People have to find what works for them. Its going to be different for everyone.

    Edit: I agree with the post above me, but anyway, here are my best classes.

    I've aready posted my main class setup in a lot of other threads, so I am actually going to show here one of my back-up classes.

     

    =========================================================================

    SMG 1 (Named this one SMG P90TR, reference tothe good ol' P90 from COD4)

     

    PDW57 Fast mags/Laser sight

    KAP40 Akimbo

    Lightweight

    Cold Blooded

    Ext. Conditioning

    Semtex

    Concussion X1

    Pretty good rushing class. I use it when I get bored of the next class. P90 PDW57 i useful for Medium range combat, KAP40 is useful in close range encounters. It i like they are made to be used togheter

     

    ========================================================================

     

    SMG 2 (I named this class Yuyuko, and the weapon will have has cherry blossom camo on it. (Get it? No? AWWWWW... )

     

    MSMC Laser Sight

    NO secondary

    Lightweight/Hardline or Flack Jacket (PERK 1 GREED)

    Scavenger OR cold blooded

    Ext. Conditioning/Dexetrity (PERK 3 GREED)

    NO lethal

    Concussion X1

    UAV/CUAV (or Hunter Killer Drone)/Orb. VSAT

     

    VERY good domination setup. You are imune to explosives, and can get to objectives quickly. Laser Sight helps since you don't have the luxury of aim while capping Domination points, and the concussion helps slowing down your opponnents.

     

    =========================================================================

     

    Assault 2 (AR alternate)

     

    TYPE25 Laser Sight/Stock/Silencer (PRIMARY GUNFIGHTER)

    KAP40 Akimbo

    Lightweight

    Scavenger

    Extreme Conditioning

    NO EQUIPMENT WHATSOEVER

     

    Basically an SMG mentality with an Assault Rifle build. You may prefer the FAST MAGS instead of the silencer, but If you master Reload cancel like I do, there is no need for that, and I like the irons, so NO to Optics.

    Here is my default SMG class. I use this setup on all of my SMGs.

     

    Primary Weapon: Any SMG

     

    Perk 1: Lightweight

    Perk 2: Scavenger and Toughness

    Perk 3: Dexterity and Engineer

     

    Attachments: Fast Mags and Stock

     

    You will need to dance around when you get into sticky CQB or dropshot. Stock helps a lot in this area.

      My class for Plaza/Hijacked:

       

      Perk 1: Ghost

      Perk 1 Greed: Blind Eye

      No Perk 2 Until I unlock Scavenger again

      Perk 3: Tactical Mask

      Perk 3 Greed: Dexterity

       

      Lethal: Combat Axe

      Tactical: EMP grenade

       

      Gun: Tac .45

      Attachment: Long barrel


      It's a fun set up and really tests your aim.

        I used to run a pistol only class on my second account which has now become my main. Tac 45 is a great pistol and I enjoyed running around and besting people with it. It will really test your accuracy and trigger finger.

         

        I have a 30% accuracy with it.

    My Run and Gun class:

     

    Weapon: Submachine Gun (any works, but I favor the Vector or MSMC)

    Attachment(s): Red Dot, Laser Sight

    Perk(s): Perk 1: Blind Eye, Lightweight. Perk 2: Toughness. Perk 3: Extreme COndtioning, Dead Silence.

    Lethal: None

    Tactical: None

    Scorestreaks: UAV, (counter UAV or Care Package), Lightning Strike

    Wildcards: Perk 1 Greed, Perk 3 Greed

     

    This class I use for HC TDM, TDM, and Kill Confirmed, generally anything game mode that doesnt require me to be trying to catch grenades.

     

    I have a few more set up but this is my main class. My domination classes are pretty awesome too if I must say so myself. Which I am sure I am.

    perk1: hardline, ghost. perk2: scavenger. perk3: dexterity

     

    no one seems to use or like the MP7 anymore but i think its quite good (though not as good as MW3) also the gun emblem is in a good place...for once

        It seems to me that the MP7 is very good at hipfiring without the laser sight. At least in comparison to the other sub-machine guns. Save the attachment for suppressor, FMJ or the long barrel.

    I've got two i'll post,  the first being my all purpose. Scorestreaks are usually always the same. I'm more of a gun person so I don't typically like letting some big thing in the sky do all the damage for me.

     

    Scorestreaks: UAV - Hunter Killer - Counter UAV

     

     

    Primary Weapon: MP7 - w/Silencer & Stock

    Secondary Weapon: None

     

    Lethal: None

    Tactical: None

     

    Wildcards: Perk 1 Greed & Perk 3 Greed

     

    Perk 1 Slot: Flak Jacket & Ghost

    Perk 2 Slot: Toughness

    Perk 3 Slot: Tactical Mask & Extreme Conditioning

     

    Very useful for Domination and rushing through booby traps. Little bits and pieces are simply interchangeable as needed.

     

     

     

    This next class is the class i've been using lately, and I personally find it to be giving me some very good games. In the past two days i've jumped 0.03 in KDR (for me, that's pretty good).

     

    Primary Weapon: Vector K10 - w/Silencer & Fast Mags

    Secondary Weapon: SVU-AS - w/Ballistics CPU

     

    Lethal: None

    Tactical: Black Hat

     

    Wildcard: Overkill

     

    Perk 1 Slot: Ghost

    Perk 2 Slot: Fast Hands

    Perk 3 Slot: Engineer

     

    Now, I'm using an SMG as my primary because I don't always stay in one sniping spot for long. Fast Hands assures that I can quickly kill anyone that gets too close. Ghost keeps me quiet while i'm on the move, and when I snipe I usually do it from a relatively safe distance, around a few teammates. This class gives my (personally) the best of both worlds. I can move around comfortably as needed with my SMG, and stop and scope from a distance without worry or need of equipment.

     

    That's all I got.

        Actually they are not really....

         

        When was the last time an Underpowerd gun was overused??

        EX: how many players have you seen with the M1216 as their most used weapon??

         

        When was the last time an Overpowered gun was Underused??

        EX: How many players do you see with Zero kills with the PDW (besides me ) and how many players do you see with the most kills with the PDW??

          I understand your point, and I'm not here to dispute whether or not any particular weapon is overpowered, but:

           

          Correlation or not, they are not the same thing.

           

          I average 0.5 more kills per death with the MK-48 than with my best SMG (MSMC), despite the fact I have over 15k SMG kills, and only around 5k LMG kills.

           

          How many posts do you see about how overpowered the MK-48 is? None. Because nobody uses it, and therefore nobody dies to it.

            You cannot compare an LMG and an SMG on your KD ratio with them.  The problem with doing that is the totally different playstyle you play with each gun.  With an LMG you probably put a TF on it and camp your self in a headglich spot covering the B Flag.  With an SMG you probably throw a laser on your PDW and run around like a chicken with your head cut off.

             

            Now the fact that you have and you know that you have a .5 hight KD with your LMG means "your better with that gun" so you would think... any logical person, would use that gun more than something your not as good with.

             

            Basically, any logical person will find their best weapon and use it the most regaurdless of the map or the other team. they will use their weapon... but you have just demonstrated that in this game that doesnt matter.  Everyone will just grab an SMG and play. why is that?? becasue they are OP

              They are overpowered? Becuase they are overused?  Shotguns and pistols can easily take on a SMG.  Even some ARs can take on a SMG.

               

              I personally use a SMG because of its CQB.  When I use a SMG like the MSMC, I definitely notice a major disadvantage at long ranges, it doesn't mean that I cannot kill someone but I know that a AR could easily pick me not to mention a sniper.  I use the MSMC a lot in League Play because of its TtK in CQB.  In League Play I am also normally playing objective gametypes where I need to be in a room or a hallway to anchor spawns or keep enemies off the objective.  I used the M8 for a while and did quite well with it, but I wasn't able to stay in the objective as long or make to the objective quick enough to make it seem useful.

               

              Every game people use SMGs over ARs, Shotguns, LMGs, and Snipers because of the time to kill in CQB.  In BO though, I thought that the ARs, like the Famas and Galil, were much better than most of the SMGs, including the AK-74u.

              Rize,

               

              From what I can gather, your issue is not that SMG's are dominant at CQB, but that you can also get kills with them at Medium-Long range. So, would you also get upset if you were using an SMG and someone with an LMG was able to kill you in CQB? Would you say they were overpowered? Would you come and cry about it on the forums?

               

              If with an SMG vs an Assault Rifle (1v1) you: Win 80% at Short, 50% at Medium, and 20% at Long, then with an Assault Rifle vs SMG you: Win 20% at Short, 50% at Medium, and 80% at Long. That averages out to 50% (or 1KD) over time, assuming that there are an equal number of gun fights at each distance.

               

              With LMG's and Snipers, the percentages are different, but the results are the same. You obviously aren't as good as you think, since you're getting yourself in to too many situations where the odds aren't in your favour. Sure you can blame the smaller maps to an extent, but it's still possible to use any gun on any map.

    Best of luck with your article, but a quick question: Best class for what? Scorestreaks? SPM? Gamemode?

     

    Below are the classes I mostly use playing Domination with a heavy emphasis of Capturing/Defending flags. Hardline is essential to any high scorestreak class.

     

    Class 1:

    MSMC w/ Fast Mags, Silencer

    Perk 1: Flak Jacket, Hardline

    Perk 2: Scavenger

    Perk 3: Dexterity

    Lethal: C4

    Tactical: Tactical Insertion

     

    Class 2:

    M27 w/ Silencer, Stock, Fast Mags

    Perk 1: Ghost, Hardline

    Perk 2: Scavenger

    Perk 3: Dexterity

    Primary: Swat-556

    Attachments: Select fire - Suppressor

    Secondary: Five-seven

    Attachments: Suppressor

    Perk 1: Lightweight

    Perk 2: Fast hands

    Perk 3: Engineer

    Lethal: C4

    Tactical: Tactical insertion

     

    Perfect class for SnD and objective gamemodes. Swat-556 kicks ass on range, but lacks the speed up close, that's why I use the select fire to switch to that 937,5 RPM automatic. The Five-seven is awesome while having a trigger finger.

     

    C4 is great for clearing out a camper or to defend a objective. The tactical insertion (combined with fast hands) allows picking spawn points near the objective.

     

    Show some love to the Swat-556, it's a hidden diamond within the assault rifles. Crazy accuracy, high damage and the select fire makes it usable on all ranges.

    I just made this up today and have liked it so far.

     

    Any SMG with fast mags and quickdraw.

    FHJ18

    Hardline/Lightweight (perk 1 greed wildcard)

    Toughness

    Dexterity

    Sticky or Frag Grenade

     

    Run and gun at it's finest if that's what you like. Went into mercanary moshpit today and needed a CTF class. So I threw this together. Never did play CTF though, so I took it into domination. Did pretty well with it.

    if you really want to help people il give you the advice i give to all my freinds that ask me whats the best class ?

    what class do you run ?

    can you sugest a class ? and so on

    play with the diffrent classes and set ups and find the class that best works for you period.

     

    one will say -

    scorpion

    light weight + flack

    cold blooded

    dextery

    stock + fast mag + target finder

    is a killer class i get 33-10 most games with it

    yet you try it and you get 0-33

    obvious it dont work for you there is no best class set up in this game all you can do is provide what people are useing and try to set a class that works well for you majoraty of the time imo

    I think you need to be more specific....for e.g you would be better giving someone tips on a set up for the person who wants to cap objectives in domination something like

     

    FlakJacket

    Scavenger

    TacMask.

     

    Smoke

    Frag

     

    SMG

    Pistol

     

    etc etc
