Easily the best title in the series. I preferred the ACR for large maps (no recoil gave a huge advantage at range), the TAR-21 for small maps (SMG-like damage output up close, and can still burst effectively at midrange), and the UMP45 whenever a suppressor was necessary (only gun in the game that could still kill in 3 shots from range with a suppressor).

UMP45 and 2 flashbangs...baby thats all ya need

In Destiny, the gear only matters in the Iron Banner mode. In the normal crucible the armor is all the same no matter what you have equipped.

Yes, but the guns are not. I know they aren't quite as powerful as in the game, but I know there was a big difference between some of the guns. It also was frustrating not knowing what guns there are. For example; COD has all the guns listed so you know what you can potentially unlock and when you can do it. In Destiny I had no idea when or where I could unlock certain guns.

Yeah i can see where that is confusing. Because in Destiny you dont "unlock guns" by playing crucible. You can get engram drops at the end of a round. But, I will say, some of the best crucible guns are just normal blue weapons. The best exotic guns in the game are more for PVE are horrible in the PVP crucible.

Yea I think it was just frustration on my part that they weren't telling me what was out there so eventually I stopped. I started playing the game about 2 months late as well and all of my friends were on from day one, so they were telling me all of the stuff they had and laughing at the things I had.

This was the first thing that came to my mind as well... I didn't play online (shocking I know) but the progression system for the splitscreen offline mode was the same... I will say this... the FAL was super boss hog in that game...

I preferred the ACR for large maps (no recoil gave a huge advantage at range), the TAR-21 for small maps (SMG-like damage output up close, and can still burst effectively at midrange), and the UMP45 whenever a suppressor was necessary (only gun in the game that could still kill in 3 shots from range with a suppressor).

ACR with silencer and extended clip, or an ACOG scope on certain maps was unstoppable for me.

Never was much of an SMG guy. If I wasn't using an ACR, I was using the Dragunov with a thermal scope on certain maps. Sit in a corner, hit two targets, move to opposite corner, hit two targets again when they go to your original position to look for you. Rinse, repeat, get predator missile, get AC-130, pray for enough ammo to get Tactical Nuke, ???, profit.

(A really weird combo that I loved was an AK with extended grip and thermal scope. Impractical, but I loved it.)

The FAL was such supreme boss hog... I'd have all your bodies just strewn across the 'Highrise' and the ground around it with the FAL.

Assuming your aim was decent, the total lack of recoil easily made it the best gun in the game.

Doubt it. FAL loses to all SMGs and the TAR-21 up close, and to all sniper rifles and the ACR from distance. Its high damage makes it a solid midrange option, but there are few scenarios where it's not outclassed by another gun.

Anybody playing Overwatch on PS4? I'm terrible but it's really addicting. I'd like to get a team going if possible because teamwork is really necessary.

Wish I had a gaming PC. I've got several buddies who are loving it on Steam, but I've only got a PS4, so I wouldn't be able to play against any of them.

Seriously though... will be purchasing Overwatch ASAP now. How often are you online between 9:00-10:30pm MST?

9:00 MST is 11:00 EST, so I'm usually up for another hourish and usually playing games. (Though I'll be watching the NBA finals tonight, so I'd take the time to git gud.)

I think the thing with the FAL in MW2 was you had to be good at the game to use it...

but man when you finally master that gun... say goodbye to every place but first.

;)

Pfft. I won't need any practice to pick Reinhardt and hold LT.

ACamp dropping 360 no scope killz across the map, and using his 1337 Mad Catz controller for up-close trigger spamming:

On CODMOD1 I found the M60 with ACOG mount to be pretty unstoppable as well.

"Whiskey needs to read up on Ruby Payne cuz his game is poor"-- ACamp after popping whiskey's ass for the 90th straight time with his FAL.

Man back in the day, I would just run and gun on Favela all day with double model 1887 shotguns. Use the lightweight perk, and i would just fly by people, and the map was so compressed that i could zig zag away from anyone that tried to come at me from behind or the side. That was my shyt back in the day.

I just went back and looked at the multiplayer maps fro MW2. There were just so many great maps. Karachi, Terminal, Highrise. SO MANY GOOD MAPS. Nothing ever came close after MW2. BOPS1 and MW3 were tolerable, but after those 2 games, everything turned to shyt. Thats why I stopped buying COD games.

MW2 was only missing bots and zombie modes... I love that game and still play it every now and then

My last COD game was WaW. Which was pretty fun...I liked MW1, when I actually had heard of/seen most of the guns. The COD's since then....wtf.
