Not at all. It's strong, yes, but out powered by nearly every primary weapon. As it comes to pistols, it's definably one of the best, the Magnums outrank it in power, but has a small clip, and M9s have less recoil and a smaller reticule when Akimboed. Desert Eagles sucked when I used them, never tried them Akimboed, though. For stealth classes, especially for Search and Destroy, SMGs are your best bet. Stealth classes are used for objective destroying, capturing, etc. or getting a flank on an enemy team that is holding down a location and for those it's all about timing. SMGs let you move quick, even with out Marathon, and don't need stopping power to be put to good use, compared to some Assault rifles.
I didn't have any problems getting FMJ kills with the ACR and AK47 to Master them. The AK47 has very good bullet penetration and the ACR's accuracy makes it fairly easy. I got a majority of my FMJ kills on Quarry. Just shoot under the metal walkways and metal walls of the buildings and youre good to go. Scrapyard is also easy because its easy to get kills from shooting through the plane. The big building on Underpass and the building with the parking lot behind it too. Just wait for someone to look out the windows and shoot through the metal. However, getting FMJ kills with an MP5k is a *****. The ACR. It's so accurate that Stopping Power isn't required. Especially at long range where accuracy trumps power. Just make sure to keep a shotgun for close range because the ACR only really needs Stopping Power up close. My stealth Assault Rifle set up: ACR with Silencer Striker with Grip Semtex Flashbangs Scavenger Pro Cold Blooded Pro Ninja Pro ACR fo long range. Striker and Flashbangs to clear rooms and keep the Striker out for close quarters. The Tar is also a good weapon to use in replace of the ACR because of it's fast fire rate and ridiculous power. Also, it's funny when you use a Shotgun and SMG with Scavenger, Lightweight, and Scrambler. Scrambler literally lures people into close range. lol.
I ****ing sucked today. I went negative in all my games. What the hell is wrong with me? I just got back from school and I started sucking! What the ****. I think my body is telling me I need to play a new game.
When I start going negative with a certain kit, I'll change to a different kit and try out different guns to see what I seem to be in the zone with during that day. If I continue to keep a constant negative KDR, I'll end up not having fun and getting frustrated. To prevent myself from breaking **** (which I did last week [punched a solid piece of wood right off of my little bookcase thing,]) I'll go play a game that doesn't usually revolve around violence like Mirrors Edge and just mellow out to some music, taking a break from MW2. The next day, I'll usually do fairly well.
Wai, wai...your telling me that my 8 killstreak today all from a USP .45 doesnt kinda concern you at all? Oh and someone today "tried" to invite me into one of the instant 10th prestige lobbies today, but i knew this: Microsofts bans loads of MW2 cheaters and glitchers So yea.
Care package / Emerg. airdrop glitch = ****ing awesome. Use a care package and one man army, reach two kills, switch to a class with hardline temporarily, one more and BAM. Infinite care package / airdrop shower of awesome.
The only time I've ever had a legitely fun game with these things is When me and my buds were playing sabotage on Invasion. The other team got an emergency airdrop glitcher and me and one of my friends had care packages going. We made the game outlast to overtime, but we lost. Other than the above instance, Care package glitchers are ****ing annoying. I join games and chopper gunner and ac130's are blazing the whole game.
I never seem to get them, it's mainly UAVs and airstrikes. Come to think of it, I sometimes just leave most of the emergency airdrop stuff for my team to have fun with, as it doesn't count towards the next kill streak.
If I start to go negative, it means I need to smoke more, I must not be high enough to be playing video games.
I like the FAMAS, but I don't like being cheap. So recently, I've been using it with Hardline Pro instead of Stopping Power Pro. The other team accused me of Care Package Glitching because I use a UAV, Care Package, Pred Missile set up and every four kills in a row, I'd kill myself and restart and use them all in bulk. lol. Also, who is your guys' favorite Shotgun? The first one I ever used and liked is the Striker. I use it with my MP5k runner class to clear rooms and for flanking and I can't use anything else.
