RE: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
Super nerdgasm right here. I'm lv 73 or 74 at the moment (can't remember exactly) with a 2.52 k/d. I've unlocked the golden CM901 at around Lv. 50, but I was so caught up in getting my first gold gun I didn't realize that there were so many BETTER guns.
My current favorite guns have got to be PP90M1, MK14, and MSR. The MSR just feels so boss and I've had the most accuracy and damage when hardscoping and quickscoping, so I use it over all the semi-auto snipers. I do enjoy the L118A too, but once I unlocked the MSR, I fell in love.
The PP90M1 is crazy at CQC. I never tried Rapid Fire honestly, mostly because I like my Red Dot with it and I do well. I'm sure the fire rate would be maxxed out with Rapid Fire, but I prefer having amazing accuracy and crazy fire rate over a little higher fire rate. At medium range the damage does drop a fair amount, but it's still great. Most maps in MW3 are very suited towards CQC.
MK14 is the cheapest gun in CoD right now. 0 recoil (with kick proficiency), almost always 2 hit kill, sometimes three, and a crazy fire rate. It's single shot, but if you've got a good trigger finger, nobody will even realize it's single-shot. You can even put Rapid Fire on it and it will shoot even faster, still with hardly any recoil. It's a freaking beast. I use it with Red Dot because the iron sights are pretty frustrating.
So far, my favorite perks have got to be Sleight of Hand/Scavenger/Blind Eye for Perk 1. Blind Eye I use on at least 1 class in case some air vehicle goes up and starts destroying my team. Scavenger is for my ARs and SMGs. Sleight of Hand is what I usually put on my snipers because the pro allows for faster weapon swaps, which is very important for snipers. Quickly swapping to my G18's is a lifesaver. For Perk 2, I ALWAYS use Assassin. It allows me to go undetected by UAVs and rack up a high killstreak without worrying about a silly 3 killstreak ruining my day. For Perk 3, I use Steady Aim for my ARs/SMGs not only for the hip fire accuracy, but rather the pro perk. Because I can't have Quickdraw over Assassin in Perk 2, I use Steady Aim's Pro, which is faster ADS after sprinting. It's practically Quickdraw, except right after sprint (which is a lot of the time for me). For my sniper I use Marksman because it's just so cheap. I don't even see the people. They just get highlighted for me and I pop 'em in the head. Assassin Pro negates Marksman, but it's still a darn good perk that really saves me time. The extra breath holding isn't bad either.
NOW FOR THE KILLSTREAKS, on my ARs/SMGs I do Assault, with 5-7-12 (Predator-Attack Helicopter-Pavelow). I get the full killstreak about 1/4th of the time but it's still worth it. For my snipers, and in the MK14s special case, I use Support. Recon Drone has got to be the cheapest and most point-rewarding killstreak out there. I get one usually every game that I run support in, and it usually gets me to the top of the lobby leaderboard even when I have 5-10 less kills than the person who got the most kills. If you have a good team that can take out the enemies you tagged quickly, you can find their spawn and re-tag them quickly. I tagged 15 people in one game. That's 1500 points for doing absolutely nothing. And don't forget the tag assists you get from when your teammates killed the people you tagged. Unbalanced killstreak in terms of points, I hope they don't fix it because it's really how I've been leveling up so fast.
WITH ALL THAT SAID, I really do love this game. I think it's an exceptional improvement from MW2. It took the feel of MW1, a lot of the mechanics in MW2, put them together into one game with some additions and innovations. Many people say it's the same game, and they have a point, but many sequels run on the same engine than their predecessors. I don't understand why CoD is the one taking all the hate. It's just because it's so popular. [/endrant]
