Modern Warfare 2 is this a "NOOB" tactic

[shootthebandit]

Oh yeah ill add this too the OP

heres a few tips for anyone planning on using this;

- try it out on 3rd person first just so you can see the shade of the ghillie on each map. a few times i was caught out but my ghillie being a different shade of green to the bush i was in
- watch killcams, sometimes you can learn from your mistakes and its easy to spot where your camo has gone wrong on the killcam
- if you have to get out of prone when in a fairly large bush (due to visibilty or prone block) then switch to your side arm, the big long shiny thing protruding is quite an obvious sign someone is in that bush
- hold fire, sometimes its better to wait until someone is out of sight until you make youre move
- watch out for prone block, that can really ruin your day if you find a really good spot that is spoiled by prone block

YES it is a bit noob. Anything that is 3-round burst is noob by default. Plus you have a sniper just for the ghille suit. Use it for what it is made for. Snipers should get a rifle and pistol, and if you deviate from that, you lose your ghille suit. Whats cooler then a bush that shoots full automatic weapons? A bush that carries dual shotguns!

 

[R4ptur3]

I think it's fine. people will complain over every set you use. Silenced weapons i think are fine to, just don't use commando (i think thats the one with the warping knife, i haven't played that game in ages), please don't use commando.

 

[Ickorus]

I use a very similar tactic therefore i say it's not a noob tactic.

a) having dual shotgun means you dont have a silencer
b) akimbo shotguns stick out a mile from the bush
c) the reason i MOSTLY use sniper just for a ghillie suit is because MW2 in all its wisdom seems to think that a silenced sniper doesnt seem to get a one shot kill (even to the head) this rendering it useless as a sniper. ive heard that hardcore requires less damage so i may take this class over to hardcore

edit: i agree at sniper should only have a ghillie suit if silenced otherwise its useless, i also agree that only rifle and pistol should be allowed on a sniper full stop. but if it lets you have a raffica then why not

No it isn't a noob tactic to use all silenced weapons, and stuff that makes you undetectable. In fact I also had a stealth build when I played it. I used a Silenced UMP and USP or Rafica, Semtex and Flash bangs, Scavenger Coldblooded and Ninja. It's a great tactic.

 

[shootthebandit]

Nope. It's called Sniping. What you do is what a real-life sniper would.

thank you, so many people on COD call themselves a sniper when they have stopping power instead of coldblood and a thermal instead of a silencer. if you look at the SAS in real-life this is what they do

also the ghillie suit is an added bonus which noone seems to use, in the right spots on every map you can go prone and be almost invisible.

i got the last laugh on one of the griefers, i sneaked up on him got prone and sent a reply on PSN saying "turn around", when he turned around i put a knife in his face. he replied saying "you cock", i replied saying "you retard, you shouldve seen me coming", and he got really defensive and eventually backed off in shear embarassment

If I'd have got that message, I would've over-cooked a frag to kill us both. Keep that in mind as they may have that idea aswell.

But yeah, well-played my friend. Do you use silencer and heartbeat sensor?

once i go on hardcore im gonna start using the baby monitor and the silencer together, coz just now i still need scavanger as it takes a shitload of bullets in normal modes

edit: i have been over-cooked as i sent the message a few times. if they dont turn around straight way you know theyve got a nade cooked

You mean snipers don't jump out of windows, do a 360, then attempt (and fail) to shoot someone withing scoping in?

WHAAAT?

But yeah, legitimate tactic, I guess.

Well the M21 is a garantied 2 Shot Kill, even w/ Silencer

So basically you don't need Stopping Power with it, because
you hardly get One-Shot Kills with it.

Also I think your Tactic is absolutely legit, since youre not running around
Commando-Knifing or Noobtubing People.

they are all garunteed 2 shots with silencer and cold blood, its just that 2 shots of an M21 is so much better than 2 on an intervention. but at really long range the recoil is still apparant so i tend to use it at mid-long and my raffica/USP/M9 at short-mid

ideally i would get a one hit kill with a silenced barret/intervention but recoil is just too much when your not garunteed one shots

Ok, I see the edit updated now. It's all about roles. A sniper is for long range support. But the game lets anyone go CQC. Even the SRs themselves can be more accurate at 10m then an SMG I use the Kriss(Vector) a lot and have more then once gone head to head against a sniper and being blown away by his rifle. Snipers should be able to defend themselves, but if they are a good enough sniper, no one would get that close anyway right? A class like the OP just exploits advantages other classes don't have, and using them should impair other abilities of snipers.

[Woodsey]

You can do whatever the game allows you to do - I despise people that whine about campers and whatnot.

The only time I'd have a problem would be if they were exploiting a bug that's (obviously) not supposed to be there.

BS. I saw that on youtube. No way in hell that was you. The chances are too remote.

im not into close range sniping but if i have to then i must, if i happen to get close the raffica comes out, i know real snipers dont have that advantage but real sniper arent against usain bolt with a pair of shotguns running towards them in which case the raffica becomes very useful

i got the idea from the youtube video, im not going to lie. infact thats how i got the idea for this class, i watched the video and thought it would be funny to try it and this class worked best for it and i realised how fun it was to use

Cookie for refrence. I hate those sprinting bitches. Once I accidently CQC sniped a guy. Was going for an M4, picked up a W2000, turned and shot for the game winning kill. I actually apologized to the guy. Close range sniping should be impossible (must be ADS to shoot or something), and I wish they would fix the "ZOMG iM Qu1cK SCop3z PROOOO!!!" bullshit. I just renders other weapons, mainly the SMGs, Pistols, and real shotguns, useless, because 10-30m is their best range.

 

[Ungenericteen]

It's called stealth killing which is under the controversal "using your brain" set of tactics many neysayers claim not everyone has a brain

 

[Daveman]

I'd say it's the opposite. That sounds like a great set of tactics.

 

[Vampire cat]

yea, but this is a video game. not gonna lie crawling around like that sounds boring as hell.

True, it doesn't appeal to all. Doesn't make it any less legit as a tactic =3.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

That sounds fine to me. Why are you afraid of something that was put into the game being called noobish? Everything is legal when the developers decided to throw it in and most who say otherwise tend to just be the ones who are tired of getting killed by an effective weapon or tactic.
