Getting modern warfare 2 this week!!!!!!!

[Korax]

How the fuck do people do this? I have been working on my intervention and I get one headshot with it every like 10 games.

Uh, just aim at the top of their head (read: helmet area) every time you take a shot. You should be getting way more than one in ten games, I realize this is more than likely an exaggeration.

If you are good with said gun you shouldn't be having trouble, especially with a barret or intervention. If I play with any of my main guns (Mini uzi silenced, Famas silenced, M1014 grip, RPD grip, Barret nothing) I get lots of head shots. I can usually have fall on the RPD by lvl 30-40 no more. I'm not good with snipers so that takes me a bit and fall looks gay on the Barret anyhow, red tiger ftw. My little brother on the other hand almost never kills anyone with the barret unless it is a HS. Its all up to skill.

most of the time there is no real chance at aiming for the head, i have to fire and kill or die when sniping.

i run FMJ on my Barrett.. a little more power in the hit

FMJ doesn't actually increase damage does it? I thought it just increased bullet penetration like Deep Impact from CoD4...

 

[jamesA]

FMJ only increases penetration ability, Stopping Power only increases actual damage. So if you use FMJ and Stopping Power you will increase your damage quite a bit.

 

[eg6sir]

well, if you guys would pay attention.. when you put the FMJ on the gun it ups the damage a little bit

 

[jamesA]

Yeah, it ups your penetration damage/ability, meaning how much further the bullet can penetrate/what types of surfaces it will penetrate without FMJ attached. Not damage overall. That is what Stopping Power is for.

 

[AHHVTEC]

well stopping power and fmj is all messed up on the game anyhow, like with the acr i can shoot though almost any surface without fmj or stopping power, but it wont shoot through sheet rock lol

 

[Korax]

Yeah, and to me, I get a lot more hit markers with a barret if I have FMJ on as compared to off. Its as bad as having a silencer on it. I really feel like FMJ is a waste of time on almost every gun. It always seems to make the damage worse. But, if it works for you then keep doing it.

 

[eg6sir]

works well for me and my Barrett...

Thats because the FMJ allows you to go through 2 concrete walls and still hit/hurt someone, just like real life snipers in Iraq.

So you get a hit marker on that when normally the bullet wouldn't go through two walls.

Huh? I'm talking about getting a hit marker (you know the little X) in stead of an instant one shot kill. I'm not talking about shooting people through walls. It's like 95% one shot kills with no FMJ/silencer. If either of those are equipped it drops to 50% or even lees one shot kills. If you hit from waist up with no attachment they die, with they don't always, even from point blank range (fuck secondaries with slight of hand/stopping power/steady aim).

 

[eg6sir]

its either a chest shot or head shot from me ... usually results in a one shot one kill .. some times i'll have to hit them twice.. i suppose i'll try it without the fmj and add heartbeat sensor or something

I'm just saying in my experience. Between my internet connection and the fact that I play PS3 and you play Xbox, there are def differences. I'm also just pointing out what seems to work for me, not telling anyone what they should be doing (^^)/.

 

[eg6sir]

well i've already finished the fmj challenge so changing up the attachment wont hurt .. just working on headshots.. BTW .. 24 to go, i think.. might be a few more

I got ya now, I thought you were talking about the exact opposite point that you actually were.

I get that too. Sometimes the game is just ridiculously weird. I'll hit someone with one bullet from a silenced SMG from across the map and it kills them, but when I'm next to them I just get the X that I hit them but they didn't die. I sit there thinking what the fuck?

 

[eg6sir]

its probably because someone has taken their health down a tad.. so they get a assist while you get the kill ..

 

[eman FA5]

Man I'm definitely not as good at Modern Warfare 2 as I was with the first one. I feel like suck a noob....:worthyp: teach me oh wise ones!

It happens right at a spawn a lot, I play HQ so when they capture the point and die they don't respawn until it's destroyed.

Just gotta keep playing it. I sucked for a long time at first too...
