I recently took the first steps in becomming socially impaired and my wife divorcing me. . . .

I purchased BlackOps.

I haven't played the story mode yet, too busy bumming the online shizzle and thought, to give me an incentive to play more MR I'd post something that'll get me back here checking! I decided on class set ups because everyone has different ideas and wants. My goto class is:

AK74U - Extended Mag
Strela
Frag
Nova Gas
Claymore
Flak Jacket Pro (Often use Ghost Pro too)
Sleight of Hand Pro
Ninja Pro (Often use Marathon Pro too)

AK74U is in my view the best gun in the game, it's fast and powerful with decent iron sights.

Stela is great for taking out air support.

Frag is my preference, I find multi kills are easier with it.

Nova because it slows and damages enemies - throwing one in the opposite direction gives you loads of assists as your team pile in too.

Claymore as it's the only lethal one - tactical insertion sometimes if I'm playing an objective game.

Flak because I hate RC cars! It's good for ploughing through claymores too.

Sleight of Hand is quality, in my eyes the best perk in the game

Ninja because tier 3 perks are pants but with Pro, it's good to hear people sneaking.

Would be interested to see what you guys and gals use.

Least favourite thing so far is prestiging and having to get my pro perk's back!! I'm toilet on the game and am ridiculously inconsistant but if anyone wants a partner, add SaporificGraph7.

WA2000 with Acog scope, use it like an assault rifle because thats how i roll. The game is boring with normal guns, you need a challenge!

If i am being boring AK47u, Silencer, Ghost. stealthy bum ftw

Andy you are shit though?!

I go Shotgun/Rocket. FTW

Use those extended mags if you go vet on campaign.

As for classes, my lazy ass hasn't sorted them right out, but hardline and steady aim (for the old) are pretty consistent for my classes

Like Trexa i've tweaked mine a little, but havn't bothered setting proper classes up yet. I like the sound of yours and agree with most of the choices. In fact, you've just made me want to turn my laptop off and get on black ops now! Bad man.

Im not at home right now but very bored so Ill try to remember my setup;

My favorite:
FN FAL - Reflex Scope
Crossbow or Full Auto CZ75
Nova
Frag
Claymore
Perk 1 - Ghost
Perk 2 - Hardened
Perk 3 - Second Chance (3rd set of perks are pointless, way to go Tryarch!)

AK47 is the best gun for close-mid range. Another favorite of mine is the LMG Stoner63...fun gun when your bored and good at triple kills.

But I dont really like the game, too much lag takes a whole click almost to kill someone its almost like Halo compared to the past releases. COD MW3 may be a MMO eitherway since Infinity Ward split theyre not developing it(just putting thier name on it for sales). So its going to suck bad probably...I believe we may have seen the end of the COD franchise.

Commando - Dual Mags
CZ75 - Extended Mags
Semtex
Flash
Claymore/Motion Sensor
Scavenger Pro/Hardline Pro (Sometimes Lightweight Pro used with Marathon Pro)
Sleight of Hand Pro/Warlord Pro
Ninja Pro/Marathon Pro

Commando is just insane, CZ75 is quick draw for when reloading is not an option, semtex is twice as powerful as frags, flash's make it harder for the opponent to shoot back at you, claymores kill people, where as motion sensors could get you multiple kills and save your life multiple times

AK47U - Red dot sight
Ballistic Knife
Semtex
Tomahawk
Concussion
Hardline
Sleight of hand(For playing with myself)
Ghost

(This isnt my exact class I play with, more so my favorites)

I actually run a very similar set up to you, Rhuarc, with just a few tweaks.

My first class:
AK74U - Extended Mag and Reflex Sight
Strela
Frag
Flashbang
Claymore
Flak Jacket Pro
Warlord Pro
Marathon Pro

I've become a fan of the AK74U recently too, and actually prefer to use it most of the time. If, on the rare occasion it doesn't cut it, I'll swap in my second class. My second one is basically the same, just put in a Commando (Extended mag, reflex sight) and a Balistic Knife (for the lolz). :D

BEWARE THE FLOATING APPLE!

Aye, Commando is a great gun, I forget when you unlock it (??), I'm early 40's at the moment so must be near. I don't know if I'll prestige again, it's fun getting all the XP and challenges on the way up but annoying to lose everything!

I roll with the

Famas w/ silencer

Stela

Claymore

Light Weight Pro

Slight of Hand Pro

Ghost Pro

Just seen today that they are coming out with the new Map Pack for XBOX on the 1st of Feb. Seen the 5 maps that the are coming out with and they look sweet. Zombie map looks sweet as hell too.

Nobody seems to want to mention their choice of killstreaks! Gotta say what you run on the killstreak basis too you know!

Hmm, I have to say that I have two preferential classes here.

1)
Commando with grenade launcher.
CZ75 full auto.
Claymore.
Semtex.
Flashbangs.
Hardline Pro.
Sleight of Hand Pro.
Hacker Pro.
I run Spy plane, Counter Spy plane and Care package on this one. I'm an absolute pest, constantly jamming their radar and keeping our own up, then calling in care packages and changing them to epic ones. I usually actually get the 4 kills without even firing a round from my gun, just two tubes, semtex and claymore. 4 kills straight off the bat.

2)
AK74U with suppressor and extended mags
CZ75 with suppressor
Jammer
Semtex
Flashbangs
Ghost Pro
Warlord Pro
Marathon Pro
On this one, I run spy plane, blackbird and dogs. It's my sneaky class, I just flank them and pick them all off from behind them. The suppressor means they don't know who's shooting them and I often get a high killstreak from this.

STAKEOUT-Grip

CZ75-Extended mags

Claymore

Semtex

Flashbang

Hardline

Sleight of Hand

Second Chance

Ak47U - Grip & Rapid Fire
CZ75 - Full Auto
Sensor Motion
Tomohawks x2
Flash Bags x3

Lightweight Pro
Warlord Pro
Marathon Pro

With Grip on the gun wont move asmuch with rapid fire, and is quicker to kill people with rapid fire on.

I have three that I run constantly...but my Famas class is the destroyer.

Famas: Red Dot & Extended Mags

CZ75: Full Auto

Claymore

Semtex

Decoy

Hardline Pro

Warlord Pro

Second Chance Pro

I have Spy Plane, Care Package and Attack Helicopter as the killstreaks. I used to have the attack dogs...but if you play anyone worth a damn they only get like three or four kills before they're all killed. I'm rolling with a 3.2 KDR with the Famas...best gun in the game to me.

I'm not a sit in the corner type player either...I'll hunt you down from corner to corner. Run into a crowd of four and kill three lol (maybe not that good....but I like to think so).

lol Everything RW318 has except i run in the crowd and get killed so i like to follow a decent player and provide support. You know place clays, throw frags laydown cover fire when reloading. I wish guys played with the right classes. An team should look like this:

Riffle Man

Riffle Man

Support

Support

Demolitions

Sniper

but everybody just runs around like roaches lol
