The longshots and headshots are definitely my least favorite thing when grinding out gold. It's hard to find spots on some maps where you can even reliably get longshots.

My favourite longshot spot is on Meltdown, domination. From B, you have clear shots on A and C, far enough to get long shots.

Warning: plan of action ahead.
I'm at about 90 head shots with the MP7, 50 with the PDW, 40 with the Vector, Gold with the MSMC, and a negligible amount with the last two SMGs. My plan is to finish out the MP7 until I get the Chicom on this, my second prestige, then use a combination of the Chicom and Skorpion until I do prestige. When I'm on my third prestige, I'll work on the PDW until I get the Vector, at which point I'll use and probably finish until I get the Chicom, at which point I'll switch over, hopefully to finish. On the prestige after, I'll perma-unlock the Skorpion and hopefully get Diamond within that prestige.
Basically my goal is to always have an SMG to work on while still prestiging, even if that means using guns that won't level me up faster.

Diamond shotguns and gold launchers (just a few more player-controlled killstreaks for diamond) and now I'm onto diamond pistol. If anyone else has a gold executioner, cry with me. That was fucking terrible.

"suffer with me"
plotwise, menandez making people try for the golden executioner makes just about the same amount of sense

Speaking of which, is the campaign any good? A.K.A Not like MW2 & 3 where I had not friggin idea what was going on except for "shoot people, blow stuff up".

This campaign is my favorite campaign from any CoD (and maybe shooters in general...don't hate). Just be sure you play BO1 campaign first or you will be a bit lost in the story. (the story is a huge part of why I love it)

Swat head shots done, on to Art & Cherry. Haven't done the campaign, there's currently a freeze on the PS3 during Pyrric victory.

I got my SMR to gold last night, gun is a nightmare to use especially with no attachments. I'm not sure whether I hated the M27 or SMR more.
Will do the FAL next and finish off with the SCAR.

I'm currently working on getting diamond for my LMGs. It's a Foxtrotting bear sometimes when the whole enemy team is rushing with SMGs, lightweight, and toughness, but I'm hoping to be one of the first few people to do so. Already got my Mk 48 gold camo, now working on the HAMR with 83 headshots.

Christ, how do you get those headshots so fast? It took me a couple of days to get the AK to 150 headshots.

I played demolition a lot to get a majority of my headshots. I set up camp with an assault shield and cover one of the bombs. I think I got seven headshots in a game at once. I also remember almost always getting headshots using FMJ and pouring bullets right into the bomb as someone is defusing/planting.

My Headshots just come. Like I said, I have a lot of free time because I just manage employee disputes. Just having the mentality of getting Headshots seems to help.

I agree that having a headshot mentality helps a lot.

That being said, like I said in the tips getting used to the recoil pattern of your gun really helps. Also I bet it's a breeze doing LMG art of war because they're good naked anyway.

I gotta say the no attachments challenge was actually pretty enjoyable, even though I use primary gunner on all my LMGs. I had to be more patient because I didn't have quickdraw. I would have to ADS all the time, but I still maintained a good kill income.
But Foxtrot the no perk challenge.
Edit: Wait, did you mean cherry blossom? That one is the no attachments challenge.

Yeah, mind screwed up there. Probably aftershock from finishing the Swat.

I actually find the no perks challenge less annoying than no attachments. Dat strafe speed on ARs without Stock is so slow. With no perks, I just pack a stinger and shoot all the UAVs down.

Toughness is an absolute must for the Mk 48. Flak jacket and tactical mask work great for the slow movement speed of LMGs too. That's why I hate the no perks challenge for LMGs.

Small update: Halfway through the XM8 Headshots, but currently at Level 52. If I can't finish it off, I'll prestige and finish it off when I re-unlock it.

Side note here, the MTAR is easy as hell to get headshots with. 8 in one game just now. Don't know what does it, but it boy does it!

Mine's gold already and I think it's completely average. Completely average ARs are definitely enshrined often enough in CoD though (ACR lol).

Post by gentlemanjim on Nov 29, 2012 17:52:36 GMT -5
Depends on which ACR. MTAR reminds me of the MW3 MP7, a hybrid between SMGs and ARs, except MP7 took the roflstomping bits and MTAR took the side-effects.

Granted. Versatility isn't the same thing as power, though. I mean the M8A1 has a short 3hk range and 5 max, and also has better RoF, capacity (barely), recoil (in my opinion) and a sexy burst option. When I look at the two I can't think of why I'd ever use the MTAR in a serious setting. I realize I talk about the M8A1 like I'm selling the damn thing, but it really seems to do everything better that isn't headshots.

Everyone has their own weapon preference. Truth be told I love the XM8, even though I perform subpar with it.
My only problem is it's level 49, and I don't feel it's worth a prestige unlock.

It was my second unlock and my first gold gun. You might say I like it.

Post by gentlemanjim on Nov 29, 2012 18:46:01 GMT -5
Didn't unlock it, but the FAL is my first gold. Select fire is my baby On track, level 16 and 38 headshots with MTAR starting from 0 at level 4.

the most average ar is always the most versitile Disagree. The most powerful guns are usually the most versatile.

I'm working on the FAL now and I'm liking it more than I thought I would. It's a definite step down from the Mk14, but the auto ARs stepped down even more so it's still really good. Still think Select Fire sucks on it though
