Why? Was there too much hit detection?
Does everybody just forget about the stupid Infinite Care Package glitch too?
To IW’s credit, they did get on top of the outright glitches fairly quick. I experienced the Javelin glitch for a little, and saw what I thought was the CP glitch for a little. They were short experiences though; that’s probably why people just skip over them.
That’s why Shotguns are not for everyone. It takes some good reaction timing and very good knowledge of a map to know when to use it. Also with a shotgun class know how to compliment the primary with the rest of your setup to get the most out of everything.
my class The Silence:
SPAS w/Suppressor
Ballistic Knife
Tomahawk/Stuns
Lightweight
Steady Aim
Ninja (all pro Perks)
Love it. I simply just throw out Counter Spy Planes to hide my movements even more.
^ Why not just use a Pistol secondary? It’s WAY more forgiving than the Ballistic Knife.
Otherwise I run almost the exact same class…
-SPAS-12 Silenced
-CZ75 + Extended Mags
-Tomahawk/Semtex with Stuns
-Lightweight Pro
-Steady Aim Pro
-Ninja Pro
With a Jammer as equipment
Now that I think about it you could avoid commando abit more than running into stuff on Blops. With mw2 it was usually just the odd death from commando/noobtubes whereas blops has a constant 74u in your face 
A solid Idea which they should take on because I like the shotguns even in black ops but when you get that hit marker and get knifed its heart sinking. I think the knife should be 2 hit or something but anyway I like this idea.
Oh and pretty sure mw2 claymores were easier to avoid, but the few times I have gone back and played it has been a pretty easy ride too.
because it’s my SILENCE class man. 
I’m taking advantage of making as little sound as possible. let’s break it down my set and why I choose things:
SPAS Suppressed/Ballistic Knife - Shotguns don’t need to ADS to be effective so that’s less time to worry about aiming and the SPAS is the only one with a suppressor. Weakness though is lack of ammo so that’s why I opted out of a handgun because they need ammo and if I’m close enough to use a handgun I might as well knife.
Ballistic Knife is there since knifing enemies don’t show up on radar also I need something to fall back on that doesn’t require ammo per say. The Range is longer and speed is faster than a reg knife attack plus humiliation factor is a sweet bonus.
Stuns - I actually will swap this to Flashbangs since blinding an enemy can allow me to be silent in running away or attacking.
Tomahawk - just like the Throwing knife in MW2 throwing one doesn’t make you show up on radar and again I want to be silent with ways to conserve ammo when needed be.
Lightweight Pro - I need a way to close the gap between enemies and myself to get kills easier plus a way to be evasive. the no fall damage synergies well with ninja Pro for reasons I’ll explain below
Steady Aim Pro - SPAS really takes advantage of this but it’s pro effect of recovering from knife lunges faster helps the ballistic knife a lot.
Ninja Pro - Complete silence means combined with Lightweight pro I can jump off anything and you’d never hear me at all. it’s pro effect allows me to better hear and anticipate enemies by listening where they’re going and take them out
I honestly think this is one of my fave sets. everything works well together and is anything but novelty (unlike my chemist set :lol: will explain latter)
^ You know, one of these days I’d love to obtain Ninja Pro for the sake of sound whoring like MW2’s SitRep Pro, but I just can’t give up my Marathon Pro for that.
Marathon Pro + SitRep Pro in MW2 = 
Well looks like my rage from COD is gonna cost me a whole bunch of money, I got pissed off and when I tried to just turn the Xbox off I accidently slammed it down, and I heard some noise going off, the Cd Drive is ruined, have no idea how much its gonna cost to repair it, I dont know if I can play the downloadable games, but I think for sure I cant play any games that are on a disc… Fuck
Well looks like its not that bad after all… I just put in SSF 4 and it hasnt cut off or anything… Maybe its just the MW 2 disk, hopefully it clears up, there are other things that I need to use my money on…
I guess what happened was when I slammed my xbox the MW 2 disc was what got ruined, im looking at it now and I can see some curved scratches on the edge of the disc… I guess I’ll just go have to buy a new used one… damnit
That sounds about right, scratches around the disk edge is exactly what happens if you move/tilt the xbox while it is still on. Fortunately this has only happened to me once and it was the wonderfully fantastic Call of Duty 3 so no big loss at all. Actually all it did was make single player unplayable while multiplayer still worked fine
cool retro hardware design microsoft, it’s like I’m really back in the mid 90s
@Infernoman
To add something to the mix -
Reasons why a pistol can be better :
They can be silenced as well (Some)
They would provide some longer range attack that the shotgun doesnt have, and also means you dont have to be within knifing range to kill someone (Compared to balistic knife / relying on that one shot to hit)
You still show up if you shoot it =p
I like the slug attachment… it sounds deadly.
I understand the shotgun and know how strong it is but I can’t get use to running around like an idiot. BO is the only game that encourages the players to run around like chicken with their heads cut off because they discourage camping. A War game without camping?
BTW the only time I used the shotgun I went 14-3. It was fun wrecking people but it was unnatural for me to run around looking for people especially since real war strategies is quite the opposite.
Anyone else buying the new maps today?
I already bought it this morning,ps3 user, got to play one game of the new maps. pretty dope.
i like this dlc better than mw2’s. all new maps, not like mw3 where it’s like 3 new maps and 2 old ones~
I only use one handgun most of the time, the ASP, it’s the best of them all and yet no suppressor can be bought for it so IF I had to choose the CZ75 and that is on the ghost set as my go to for close range as my primary is a ACOG suppressed M16.
who said I shot it? that’s what the Tomahawk is for! :tup: Tomahawk throwing is faster to throw than shoot a knife and it travels father and 2x faster that the knife. I only drop the knife if I find a suppressed SMG or AR.
that reminds me I need to upload a new CoD vid showing some sticks and stones action…(from TDM not the wager match)
I used to run the python with my m16 class (The only one I used to run a pistol with) so in theory it sorted out my close range game, but after playing it for a while there is no point in pistols (Except rarely when you have a shotgun and need a medium range shot) really since its not even that much better than the m16 up close - acog might be the exception here too.
Strella is so much more usefull - maybe worth consideration. You dont have ghost so using it to take down spy planes would help keep you hidden.
I know I was recommending pistols before but i think the only thing in the game they are more effective than is the bknife/ xbow.
I use pistols because of their fast swap time. I tend to use single shot weapons like the FAL and m14 and perks like warlord/hardened instead of sleight of hand so having something to fall back on that swaps quickly and can work at close range is useful.
I have a launcher on my M60 class though, mostly because with that many bullets there’s not too many times when I really would need to swap to a pistol
I miss the Call of Duty 4 desert eagle, that was the best pistol in the whole series
Is it wrong that I skipped playing some of the new maps and rarely the old ones? I might be biased but I think the older maps generally had better sight lines to snipe on.
