Modern Warfare 2: Extended Mags

[Dragon Zero]

I have a mixed opinion about extended mags, on some of my favorites, like the UMP, TMP, and F2000 (Yes I use it and am damn decent with it), the extra ammo is useful in the middle of a heated gunfight so I don't reload as often but I've gotten into the habit of reloading after every or every other kill, so its not that great an issue. The challenge to get it for your main is pretty time consuming and obnoxious but both times I've got it I felt an almost euphoric sense of accomplishment. It can also make you appreciate your weapon more, I started out liking my FAL but by the time I got ext. mags. I was in love with it. So, it really comes down to the whole "You get back that which you put into it." factor, if you put in the effort, you will be rewarded, if not then not.

ok ok I'll extend my text but it's acculy what I think It's ok I still allways reload after every kill cos' I only use spas 12.

 

[MurderousToaster]

It's ok.

I normely use scavanger pro, for my scar.
Because bling with extra mags and ? is a waste of a perk.
But is there any difference in mag size for scavenger pro and extra mags?

Hold on. Just found this.
Scavenger pro gives EXTRA mags.
Extended mags is an attachment to increase the amount of bullets you can fire before reloading.

I see xD

As a guy who plays using the SCAR mostly, i would love to have these but i havent unlocked them yet

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I unlocked them for the TAR-21 (seriously under-rated gun).

They're very handy, obviously, especially if you suck like me and are up against multiple enemies.

 

[Ishnuvalok]

How would extra rounds not kick ass with any weapon?

Larger magazine weigh more, would involve more hassle when reloading. A higher tendency for jamming.

But because soldiers in Modern Warfare 2 are all genetically-enhanced super-soldiers, this wouldn't matter. And not to mention the weapons that never fail. Or knives that kill when you graze someones foot with it.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

I only put them on guns which are hard to actively reload.

However, the guns which are hard to actively reload I have no kills for, as I am always ripped to shreds while taking ages to put in new bullets.

Because Scavenger does basically the same thing, only better and for all your weapons.

Thats what I thought :S
But people are saying...

I need to test thus theory some time.

They do.

 

[NT]

I use it on my SCAR, but I'd just rather use Scavenger like everyone else

It's not a theory, that's what it does. Extended mags is an attatchment that raises the amount of shots for a single magazine, usually by 50%, but sometimes doubled. EG. the AA-12 without extended mags will have 8 shots per magazine, with the attatchment it'll have 16.

Scavenger pro just starts you out with the max amount of spare magazines you can have. So again, the AA-12 usually starts off with 8 shots loaded and another 8 spare, with Scavenger on, it'll have 8 loaded and 32 spare.

Yep, they're pretty good. I tend to use them with my dual Uzi's/Dual M9 class.
It's around when people start to cry.

I unlocked them for the TAR-21 (seriously under-rated gun).

I know right? I really adore the TAR-21, and nobody ever uses it. I love it with either a Silencer or a Holographic Sight depending on my mood, but people look at me like I'm crazy when I say it's one of my favourite guns.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Extended Mags are great on a few of the short clip weapons like SCAR-H and PP2000. Beyond that, there's really no point.

I didn't like it at first, but if you burst fire with it then you're onto a winner. Ive killed people on highrise all the way across the map in the opposite office block with it.

I always use the iron sights as they're awesome, the red dot sucks on it, and I can't seem to get the feel of the holographic sight on any weapon.

And it looks so badass with the red+white urban camo!

It kills as fast as the SCAR H and has more ammo in each mag. Add extended mags to that and you have yourself a full-on beast weapon.

Although the accuracy can be a bit of a bummer, I'm with you on burst fire. I once started a game, saw a dude a street away and took him down with three bullets.

My first three games with the TAR, I had already gotten over 100 kills with it, but I can't seem to do so well now.

I like the iron sights, but I do enjoy the accuracy of the Holographic thing.

Yeah, plus it has a really deep, meaty, satisfying sound, unlike the SCAR H which rattles like a tin shack in an earthquake.

I dunno why I have no luck with holographic sights. They just take up too much of the screen or something.
