Im a big fan of the UMP with a silencer, the silencer does next to nothing in terms of blunting its power but stabilises recoil and gives the edge of unshown firing, has more of an effect when people dont often have UAV support.
Im a big MP5 fan as it was pretty much the only gun i used in COD4 in normal games with RADAR, started off with that in this but the UMP45 is a better gun.
Was watching Spooks tonight when one of the baddies pull out a UMP45 and unfolded it.
Just unlocked the silencer the UMP45 but finding the red dot sight really helpful; though if it stabilises recoil that may be more of a help when I don't quite polish off a target and end up with a wonky aim!
Can anyone tell me why the TMP has such little ammo, seems like a big handicap for no reason. It seems like a nice little weapon aside from that. I could understand if it was OP or something but even though it's pretty accurate without stopping power and FMJ it takes almost a full clip to kill someone.
Been messing with different set ups and weapons, even giving the MP5 a go and I'm doing pretty well with it. Love it with the silencer, just want to unlock FMJ now.

all shotguns are pretty bad ass when you know how to use them. the striker with grip is pretty much in all my secondary weapon setups that do not include scavenger. 1887 are powerful 1v1 but a striker can take multiple foes down.
Not if you want guaranteed 1-hit kills, it isn't. I used to use turtle beach headphones but I stood on them. They're not the sturdiest
5 guys were talking C on sub base on domination and I ran round the corner and with 3 shots fired into the lot of them they all died. Couldn't believe it, was gobsmacked and just left circle strafing around the pile of bodies looking for someone that had gone prone but only broken men did lie there.
Looking at the in game stats the Striker is supposed to have equivalent range to the Winchesters, but it sure didn't seem like that to me on a test run (lag can be horrendous on one shot weapons though). They've taken on the aura of a jonah since, but with sleight of hand, stopping power and steady aim (plus some sequential firing depending on the situation). The Winchesters can do a lot more than 1v1.

According to the stats chart it is no use, a body shot does 105 damage without stopping power which is a 1 hit ko, and a limb shot wont do 100 damage even with stopping power.
(Edit: Oh, a stomach shot only does 77 damage without stopping power apparently, didnt know upper and lower body were different hit zones - fair enough, stopping power is still useful on snipers)

Its been fine for me over the past few days, always seem to have 4 bars, and that is connected through the wireless bridge on my laptop!
I'm in two minds what was better, this or GRAW where it would just boot players if the connection couldn't take it. Atleast you got lag free gaming and in over 1000 games I never once heard anyone moan about a cheap death when firing first.
I'm also getting a bit naffed off today with FFA teams. Go to take my usual spot on Skidrow and there is two of them up there. Care package covering etc. Boosting for streaks.
Oh well topped out today at level 70, took me far far longer than 4.
It went back to normal after whinging Now when I shoot people they actually die! Instead of me shooting them in the back just for them to turn around and shoot me dead Normally with other games I can play through a bit of lag, but with this game where it takes so few shots to kill someone it's just so much harder to kill someone with even the smallest bit of lag. The advantage the host gets over others is just immense.
The system they use to choose the host doesn't work half the time, when the game actually starts it automatically gives the host to someone else anyway and it just leaves you wondering why it chose them in the first place.

Hmm I don't want to go prestige 
Don't see any gain in doing that and then losing all my nice guns I died so much to get.
It's now my time to swing the 1887 akimbo and headshot someone with it half way across the map
Seriously though... can anyone tell me the real gain in doing that?

I'm going to Prestige, but only once.
Mainly for the extra Custom Slot, and the extra weapon challenges.

Well you'll get another custom slot. I'm at level 44 2nd prestige and TBH I dont think i'll be going through it all again.
I'm not doing it purely because it's taken me 3 days playing FFA (mainly) to get that far. I did think about doing it once for the extra slot and weapons challenges but I'm not that fussed. I'd rather have gun advantage over repeat prestigues.
As I know I wont play for 10 days combined let alone the 30 I'd need to get to the end I won't bother. Also I don't enjoy the going through the guns as much as I did with COD4. The FMJ's get on my bits but you really need the bonus xp for faster ranking.
Instead I will just try to do as many challenges as I can rather than level up Plus I know once I started down tha dark path forever will it dominate me.
