Assault rifles suck ass. I only use sub-machine guns, you move must faster with them while aiming. ACR is probably the weakest gun in the game.
That's why you use Stopping Power as one of its perks. It may be weak, but it's incredibly accurate, and with Stopping Power, it's actually a solid gun.
Using the ACR without Stopping Power is like using a B.B. gun. I started using the ACR with Stopping Power after reading this thread and now I acctually prefer it.
B.B. guns hurt if you get shot by them Anyone else good @ using the Thumper? When I feel like being a jerk, I bust out the TAR w/ noob tubes and the thumper, then put on danger close. Shit, that stuff is like 4 guaranteed kills a life w/o using scavenger. Danger close makes claymores amazing too.
Noob tubes...oh how I hated them. I had one match on Terminal where I had 12 out of my 13 deaths by noob tube.
Not just an automatic kill, but a cheap automatic kill. You don't even have to hit the person, just put the damn grenade within 10 or 15 feet and that person is fucked. You might as well add Akimbo's in to the noob tube category as well.
It's a PS3 exclusive that allows for up to 256 player matches online. However, you have to get to like, level 10 or something before you can even get to those matches. You're also able to eventually reach a level where you get to command your own squad or army or some shit like that. It's a game that sounds like it has a lot of potential, however, the only way that a game of this magnitude can work is if you get some actual communication with your team. And unfortunately, everything I've read sounds like hardly anyone uses them. I've heard a lot of good and bad things about it, check out reviews if you want a more in depth look at it. It's something I'd be interested in if I owned a PS3, but something I'd definitely have to rent first.
^Thanks for the info. Yeah, communicating with teammates would be impossible on that game. Seems like the only communication that goes on in MW2 is warning other players they're about to get ambushed. Problem is I usually can't make out those weird names quick enough to give warning. "Hey hyphen-apostrophe-exclamation point guy don't go in that build...BOOM...oh nevermind."
I've been playing it for about 6hrs now, and personally I think its a bigger game than MW2, not just bigger maps but bigger as a game where you actually have to work as a team, put a lot of thinking into it, etc. Won't allow much camping, and there's no place for akimbos like MW2. I was able to join the game with 256 players after level 8. (currently I'm level 12) Thing I love most is that you can buy medical supplies to use in game to heal teammates. It's a sick game and wish more people would get it.
