Stalker + Focus = money.

I have been using these two together for awhile now and I know a lot of you guys do to but holy ballzzz it is like being Megatron or something.  I guarantee that my enemies think I am lagging, hacking etc. when we both shoot at the same time and I win over and over.  He lands a shot but I stay on target and get one back which causes him to flinch, coupled with fast ads movement his next bullets miss and I win the fight.  If you dont run these two together you are missing out big time. 

 

I think that Focus is more powerfull then Stalker and when using Focus you almost dont even need stalker but for multiple enemies it makes a difference.  A huge majority of the time when I die I see the other players using Kick which cracks me up.  If you need kick then you need to re-evaluate your "R1 finger" haa..   I use the G36, AK, and CM901 without kick and then I see a majority of players who use the ACR still put kick on it and it makes me stratch my head. 

 

I dont use focus on my smg's due to using range and usualy hip firing but I think I will start running it there as well to see how that goes.

    I'd imagine it to be more helpful when playing CORE rather than HC.

    Interesting. I usually run steady aim pro on all my classes except sniper. I will take your recommendation and give it a whirl. Makes sense how the two would interact.

    Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

    why steady aim? i find it so useless :/ .. i never used that unless to put it Pro.. lol i dont know i move so slow if i dont play with Stalker..

    yeah i know it stays fast with SMG but with SMGs i use Sit Rep, DeadSilence or Stalker but never used steady aim :/ people be using that to spray all over the place lol..

     

    but back to topic .. have you tried MK14 with Silencer + Focus + Stalker ? Its beasttt !!!

    took out my first moab with that long time ago lol.. i love Focus i use it when im running on Specialist.. it works good when your not lagging tho..

      Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

      MMm ok so i thought i would give this idea a whirl.

       

      My set up was P90 (focus/silencer)

       

      Kill confirmed (fave game)

      slight of hand

      assasin

      steady aim (aim/shoot faster after sprinting)

       

      map was parish, never played it before

       

      18 kills, 8 deaths, top player in whole match for k/d ratio and most points captured

       

      mwuhahahahahah!!!!

       

      Usually when i come face to face with someone, they shoot me first and i cant fire back, now with focus i just aim and shoot them dead.

       

      At one point it felt like i was cheating as i kept winning 1 on 1 fights

       

      Amazzzzing and big thanks for giving me this idea as never really bothered with focus but now for "rushing" tactics its awesome.

      Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

      Yep your right there. its funny but mw3 keeps me coming back with new things to try that i never have before and you think wow thats awesome.

       

      I now drop a Tactical insertion in a corridor and C4 on a wall or ceiling and when i hear "They destroyed your TI" i go... click.. boom! +1 kill.

       

      My problem was when i faced someone depending on the lag etc i would always come out 2nd best sometimes even with shotgun after firing 1st.

       

      Now with focus i can keep shooting when hit and turn the tables. Sure, if someone pumps you full of lead your dead anyway, but focus gives you that edge :-)

    Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

    When I'm not using attachments, I almost always run focus. That being said, with a 0.79 KD the "money" you stumbled across doesn't seem to be helping you too much. The WTFs you hear probably has more to do with the fact the kid who's extremely negative killed them and less to do with your set up

      Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

      if you really judge players by their k/d then your probably one of those player's saying WTF or noob whenever you die lol. anyway i think stalker + focus is a good idea i tend to use attachments tho

        Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

        I don't judge players based on KD, but when you come on the forums preaching of this beast class set up, and you cant pull a positive KD, kind of discredits your opinion.

         

        I run Stalker+Focus on my ACR class a fair bit of the time, and its a solid class set up, no question, but comparing yourself to megatron after using this set up and having a 0.79 KD is a bit of an over exaggeration

            Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

            1) 53k or so confirms...more than your Dom caps

             

            2) I actually headglitch a car on village, and it's typically with a MK14. Clearly your extremely observant

             

            3) I remember playing with you once. Sml and I came across you in Dom on Hardhat, where I dropped 80 kills on you. I never remember playing interchange with you, but I would imagine I was bitching if someone was flipping the spawns.

             

            4) Honestly, how much higher? I'd guess barely one even if you tried to kill whore. Someone like monkeylord can make that comment because he's got a relatively decent KD and plays the objective. Some people aren't good at killing, my point is dont preach about a money set up when your KD is severely negative

             

            5) My KD is a 1.53. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. Saying I have a bad KD when you can't pull anywhere near a 1 is like Rosie ODonnell calling someone fat.

             

            You don't like what I have to say? Don't come on here telling stories about how you make people rage with a certain class set up, when its blatantly obvious you dont. At least I have semi decent stats to back up my arrogance, you don't.

                Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

                I'm 22. 28 was my number in college baseball. 14 is a bit off for my age, but good try

                 

                Sml and I played together because he complimented my faults and him and I generally got along well with common interests.

                 

                I didn't care to read the rest of the wall of text but feel free to PM me

    Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

    I've used this for quite some time, I use it for when I need to get through a golden gun fast, usually for SMG's and AR's. But not so much for everything else.

    Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

    I mainly run SMGs at the moment but I saw this thread and whacked on focus with steady aim with the P90 and  it's added an average of about 10 extra kills to my overall total each round.

    Once I finish with the P90 and switch up to the ARs i'm definately gonna give the stalker/focus combo a try although choosing between ext mags and noobtube is going to be a difficult moment lol.

    Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

    I skip over Focus in favor of Steady Aim. Extreme Conditioning + Steady Aim is the gun & runner's dream.

    Re: Stalker + Focus = money.

    I play hardcore and like Impact over Focus, but when i do play CORE Focus helps me a lot more with any weapon...... The worst thing about playing HC is that you can develop bad habits more easily.......like getting used used to poping off a few rounds and knowing you have the kill..no matter where the bullets land.....or Lobbing a grenade into a room and clearing it...... if you take this mindset into a game on CORE your dead meat......

    So i have to agree with the OP FOCUS and STALKER are good to use on core.....but not so much on HC
