A few people asked for this to be created and so here we go.
Trusting everyone has their copy now, so let the fun begin tonight.
I, along with several others will be on Xbox but i know some are Ps3, but its the same game so no point in two threads!

Exactly SB, BLING perk is a waste of time:-)
I quickly ran through my Shotgun challenge before, did the 20 grenade launcher kills in about 3 matches, so at least that's out the way. Just gotta get 40 kills now for FMJ.
Also nearly 400 kills with the SCAR, another 100 or so, and there's another XP chunk. Then gonna have a play with the P90 (not the best, but i just love it :D)
Of course, you could be a noobtuber and just kill everyone with just the grenade launcher. AGOG are a bit useless tbh. Most of the fighting consists of CQB or medium range. No one needs long range for an assult rifle and if there was, you might as well take a sniper rifle.

Don't know whether the PC version is different to the Xbox version online, but you must have unlocked BLING perk at this stage (lv 20?) - if you have, then you can have two attachments to that weapon, so you could add grenade launcher. But, don't bother:-(
And also, looking at the stats, the SCAR is easily the best gun to start with for the first 30+ levels or so.

Thanks - even though it hardly makes any difference to me I tend to use whatever I get to avoid having to just use the iron sights. I will check over the weekend and see how different the two are :)

I played an entire team using that tactic yesterday and wanted to scream. Literally nobody had a chance as they swarmed the match (and on Ground War there the teams are huge...). I initially thought they'd hacked the game!
yes marathon pro and lightweight pro are awesome i use it in team games whenever possible. But frankly i still die alot. Running blind getting in everyones face and getting a face full of lead.
I need to use pistols more. But i'm just too concerned with using rifles, shotguns or automatic pistols. Need to play this game more. Right after i burn through most of my games...

What is the difference between the two? I know it must be a daft question, but the red-dot and holographic sight seem to do the same things for me :S
I noobtubed Chris 3 times last night :p
I used to use it for that reason, but now use marathon and lightweight as it helps me kick ass in Capture the Flag, just run about with a Magnum and tactical knife lol.
My UMP i prefer the red dot. as its not as obstructive. yet i prefer the holographic sight...
I need to play this some time i've finally managed to claw back enough victories to be +1 wins. I was at one point on a 5 match losing streak.
Next up: practice and try and get a harrier or get enough kills to frequently get at least a predator missile.
