Why would I use a gun other than the FAL

Posted by jcostanzo27 on Jan 22, 2013 6:55 AM

My KD with the FAL is 1.72. (746 kills)

 

Vector 1.13 (810 kils)

An-94 - 1.10 (806 kills)

Mtar - 1.10 ( 806 kills)

M27  1.09 (1376 kills)

Type 25 1.07 (1077 kills)

 

Why would i ever use another gun unless the map is hijacked?

 

However I often find my self using another gun because I feel the maps are too small.  

 

Just a ramble here.  I LOVE THE FAL.

    i love the FAL as well, but im getting diamond on AR's so once thats done, ill be exclusivly FAL

     

    FAL gets a bad wrap for being an easy gun to use, so people hate on it

    It was the first weapon i got gold as i played TDM pretty much all the time from the off. I dont find it good enough for faster paced game modes. Its perfect for TDM but thats about it. I would rather play with a sniper rifle than the fal on KC

    It's a good gun without a doubt and definitely one of my favorites but there are other good guns as well.  What it really boils down to is personal preference.

    FAL, mm scanner, select fire, stock for smaller maps.

    FAL acog, select fire, fmj for snipers or maps like Carrier.

     

    ALL weapons in this game have their pros and cons. So one can't knock me for using the FAL when they use a SMG with the baby monitor. The FAL was my first permanent unlock.

    The an-94 when used right is a close second ( my favorite and most used gun ) but I agree the fal beats out anything at assault distances. I hope they buff other assault rifles to compete with the fal when it's on full auto.

      The SMR is pretty close.  It's got more recoil but if you can handle that it also has more damage and range but a slightly slower fire rate.  Head to head they are pretty close in overall effectiveness when equipped with select fire.  My kd with the SMR is almost the same as with the FAL.

        SMR is a beast in HC. I love playing on Turbine and sniping people with it.

        When I tried the SMR (might have to try again) I kept getting hit markers or it jammed, probably just a bad connection but it was enough for me to just say #### it. The Fal in full auto shouldn't be able to beat out every other AR. If used as a single shot then sure.

        I can't use the Fal oddly, but the SMR my KD is much higher. Heck, I beat smg's up close with it due to it's 2 hit kill. 

         

        ...I also get robbed of my 2 hit kill many times but I still make up for it at range.

         

        ...but please, don't go abusing my secret weapon.  I don't want people crying nerf once they do it to the fal

    FN FAL was my favorite gun in MW2.  I'm going for diamond everything, so I am saving that for later, after I finish all the guns I hate, like most SMGs and the MTAR, and the LMGs, which I really enjoy, but headshots don't come easy on those.

    Fal is my favorite; 9010 kills with a 2.1 k/d.

     

    Although, I wanted to bling it out so I'm working on my other ARs right now. I have to admit, changing it up makes the game a lot more interesting. I've found that I seem to being doing awesome with guns I thought sucked.

    i find myself saying that about the MK48.

     

    why use anything else?

     

    large magazine: check

    huge power over long distance: check

    amazingly accurate: check

    kill people through walls and evem more brutally with FMJ: check

    kills snipers cross map before they can even squeeze a round off: check

     

    destroy everyone on the map and then ask for seconds: check

    Post patch the FAL has become nearly useless for me in core.  I will shoot and I will not get a hitmarker until the 4th or 5th shot is away.  When you are playing against run and gun SMGs that fire 3 shots to your one you are already about dead by the time your hit marker appears. 

     

    I have the same disapearing bullet problem with the SMR. 

     

    For Core I use the M8A1 with scavenger.  I can't get everything I want on the gun but at least my bullets register.  Pre patch the FAL was my gun of choice.

    I only run the FAL on a couple of maps and I only play HC. So if I'm on Yemen, Drone or Carrier, I tend to run with a suppressed FAL. Otherwise, I prefer the AN-94 or suppressed M27. I'll take a high fire rate over a plodding one in hardcore any day.

    Maybe because you might want a little variety?

     

    I think the FAL is a great gun too.

      I like it. No onw answered the OP's question.

       

      I LOOOOOVE the Semi AR's because once you get used to them again, say a match or two, then you can pull the trigger soo fast. This leads to the ability to kill an enemy in a shorter period of time than the automatic AR's.

       

      Its all about the time it takes to kill rather than any other single stat. Well, at least for close range. The FAL does long range soo well and we are all aware of that.

       

      If you dont want to use another thats fine but I would reccommend trying to getthe calling cards or skins for other weapons/attachments. I am 2.5 rifles away from diamond AR's and I have never played a COD game more than this. COD4 was close but that was over the whole year it was out. Its 2 months almost 3 now and I have made it further than I have any other COD at Prestige 6 and a lot of gold guns.

    I think the FAL with select fire and target finder has become "that" gun what a lot of people find overpowered. I prefer the SMR for its longer 2shot kill range.

     

    I don't think anything is OP in thus game and I can counter everything, but the FAL as above is very noob friendly and people who are not great tend to turn to that setup, I have a friend who uses it because he just does way better than when he's using any other AR.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if the FAL got another slight nerf in this next big update. As I said though it doesn't bother me.

      I think part of the problem is that FAL if Semi-auto'd at max rate(hard to do, but possible) in its 2hit range...or with headshots...has a faster kill rate than skorpion rapidfire, perfect hit pointblank(by a very very slight margin.)

       

      When Considering that the fal is already super accurate, and maintains its accuracy over distance with a large magazine using decent ADS and reload...its kind of hard to beat.

    My FAL KDR-3.95 with 7000 kills

    Every other AR or SMG-  2.3-3.1

    LMGs-4.0-6.0

     

    LMG's are pretty OP on some maps. glad people have yet to realize that yet.

      FAL is pretty godly but I also like the AN-94 better with stock.   But yeah, I'll take FAL overall.

    Use another gun so you dont get bored. Nobody really cares what your stats are.

    FAL was my first gold gun, loved it, got around 2-3k kills with it and a 2.7+KD.

     

    Now I don't even use it, to be honest the MTAR is alot better and less recoil than a full auto FAL. Started using the an-94, meh its recoil is abit too wild. Now I'm just folding certain primary's, like assault shield, an-94, DSR & vector.

    The FAL w/ select fire is similar to using a modded controller.

      You could say that about any full auto.

    A semi auto is stronger because you would have to keep triggering it. Having the ability to put it into full auto mode is exactly the same to using a modded controller. It gives you the advantage all the time.

    My FAV gun too. However its fun to use other guns for variety. Like LMGs SMR AN94 too.

     

    Notice the new camo on the peacekeeper? UN WHITE - gonna look great on my FAL.

    I have every AR gold apart from the FAL and SMR or what ever it is called. I am half way through with the SWAT. the FAL and SMR will be the death of me as i can not seem to use single shot guns

    Use the other AR's out of boredom.  White cammo?  Does this mean I'm going to have to max out on my AR's?  I will level up for white or chrome cammo, but that diamond cammo is hideous.

      i think diamonds look good. EXCEPT on the type25 where it looks like a bunch of warts. M27 looks mightly nice though. as does the SMR.

        Yea, I know a lot of people who like that diamond cammo.  Just I would like to have a chrome cammo.  I'm thinking that white cammo would look good. 

         

        I like the plain cammo's that don't distract from the custom emblem.
