For Gun Comparison

I tried getting this post a little neater but failed :(.  But since I got some good feedback on the AR chart I decided to find the rest of them. I hope this help you choose your weapons and imrove your game!

Assault Rifles

Ok I'm sorry that I didn't post this yesterday as promised. I got caught up playing the new map pack and just plain forgot :(. But now I will give you my strategies for the AR classes. The first thing to know going into this is the FAMAS is the most popular gun in the game. Thats largely due to its high fire rate and low recoil. I use this gun alot myself during the lower levels of a prestige, its a versatile weapon and that fire rate can really bail you out of a jam.  That fire rate can really get you into a jam as well because you will have to reload often. So if you want to use this gun I suggest that you use the extended mag attachment. I personally like the GALIL better than the FAMAS and you get it just 6 levels later. It has a lower fire rate but deals more damage. The only time you will be at a disadvantage is in close quarters, so try to keep the enemies at a medium range with this weapon if you can. Another popular choice is the AK 47, I find this weapon has to much recoil for my liking and is hard to keep on an enemy. The bonus to that is it is one of the most powerful guns in the game, so you don't need to hit them many times to put them down. My favorite AR's aren't even unlocked until level 44, which kind of sucks but they are so WORTH IT! They are the COMMANDO and the G-11 and in my opinion are the best AR's in the game. The COMMANDO never takes more than 5 bullets to kill even at distance and thats with the suppressor attachment. The G-11 is a pin-point accurate 3-round burst AR with a high fire rate and damage, out gunning the M-16 in every way. The only downside of the G-11 being its limit in attachments, you can only get what they call a "low power scope" and a variable zoom scope, i find its best to just use the iron sights in combination with SOH . Before level 44 I have a FAMAS class set up with a silencer, Secondary, anti-air, Grenades: Nova gas, and Frags, Equipment: Claymores, Perks: Flack Jacket, SOH, Tactical mask. My other AR class is the GAILIL w/ suppressor and extended mags, Secondary: anti air, Grenades: Flash and Frags, Equipment: Claymore, Perks: Ghost, Warloard, Marathon. When I unlock the COMMANDO I use that in place for the GALIL. I use my FAMAS class for straight rushing and my GALIL class for flanking behind the enemey. I bounce back and forth between classes because i understand the strengths and weaknesses between the weapons and sometimes the enemy will dictate what style you will need to play to beat them. If they are rushing you hard, hold back and pick them off. If they want to be defensive rush them hard and push them out of their comfort zone. The G-11 I like to combine with perks Hardine, SOH, and Hacker. I use it a rushing weapon because and can do that because I am an accurate shooter. If you have trouble placing your shots I suggest you replace Harline with Ghost and hang back. If you have questions aout any of the other ARs or loadout suggestions please don't hesitate to post them.

THE NEW MAPS ARE AWESOME

The First Strike map pack is better than I could have hoped. On top of that Berlin Wall might be my favorite map yet! I just love all the different things I can do. Great flank paths for rushing and awesome sight lines for sniping and taking people by surprise. Stadium is a better version of Nuketown, a great close quarters battle that is great if you like the chaotic side of the game. Discovery is sure to be snipers dream, with the size and the way you can funnel the enemies by taking out the bridge.   So far I see nothing special about the other maps in the pack, but of course I haven't yet spent a lot of time playing them. I will be sure to post more as I become more familiar with them.

As for Ascension, I don't play a lot in the Zombie mode so I will post about that with the rest of the Zombie strategies when I get around to it. I'm sorry that this is more of a review/nerd-gasim , but I'm just really excited to have a new element this game. It will make the path to 15th prestige a lot more FUN!!

First Strike Available NOW!

Here is just a taste of with the new map pack brings into the game. I personally can't wait to get going on them. It also has a new Zombie map the is making the Nerd Nation go crazy. I hope you all get a chance to check them out!

SMG's

The more I play Black Ops the the more I appreciate the submachine gun classes. The main advantage being that you are faster than the other players in the game. When I use smg's I like to rush the middle and keep the pressure one using killsteaks Counter- spy plane, Napalm and Mortars and the perk Hardine. If you have Hardline pro you can change your care package and usulally get some good stuff, so you can go with Care package instead of Napalm if you want. I also suggest this setup if you have a hard time earning kill streaks. I think the 2 best SMG's in the game are the Spectre and the AK74u. The Spectre paired with rapid fire will rival a shotgun at close range, and the AK74u has the longest effective distance of any other smg, making it one of the best mid range weapons in the game. Alot of people seem to like to put rapid fire on the AK74u, I personally think that it ruins the weapon by giving it too much recoil and basically taking away the mid- range potential. Now as always my load out suggestions and tactics differ on experience level. In order for you to get good at rushing you're going to die a lot. I takes a while to get your aim accurate whn you never stop moving so I suggest sensitivity no higher than 4 to start with. I change my SMG loadouts all the time according to game type, but on team death match and domination I suggest this Primary, AK74u w/ grip & extended mags, Secondary: anti-air, Grenades, Frags and flash, Equipment: Claymores, Perks: Hardline, Warlord , Marathon. Warlord pro gets you 1 more of each grenade so it works awesome on a class you want to be aggressive with. This is one of a few classes that i don't run a silencer so in place of that I run Counter-spy plane. If you get more than one person on a team running a set up like this you can really frustrate an enemy team Making the enemy team get frustrated will only get you easy kills and a high win percentage due to "rage quitters."  Using this class you will be subject to a lot of people trying to revenge kill you. Its easily countered by setting a claymore in the area of an enemy you killed. Also setting Claymores around objectives is a simple way to build up some extra kills keeping those Counter-spy planes in the air and allowing you to get into the enemy spawn undetected. If you have more experiance with the game I suggest Flak Jacket in place of Hardine, or jacking up your killstreaks if that kind of play id more your style.

Really experiment in the SMG classes. they are the most versatile weapons in the game and they can be molded for any combat situation. Using rapid fire for close engagements and grips for those reaching the outside of your range. I don't really like playing defensively with SMG's. It feels like they don't do as well as assault rifles taking on multiple enemies.

My next post will be finishing up with gun strategy and moving on to game types. Thanks guys, I'll talk to you soon.

Just wondering

If I started a game review blog, would you follow? If even one or two of you likes this idea I'm going to start doing it, so please let me know. Thanks :)
