Pretty original. I don't see alot of S&D destroy classes that don't use either a Heart Beat Sensor - despite everyone uses Ninja, a dash class or a noob tuber. But why don't you have Silencer over FMJ to stay completely invisible?

My S&D class is pretty much the above stealth class. But I suck at it, can't play stealthy for shit. But I prefer defensive based objectives such as Domination, Demolition and CTF.

I come across snipers all the time on S&D, most classes very similar to mine. But I feel in my comfort zone when using it, since sniping has been my main role since CoD2.
I don't use a silencer on the SR because I get annoyed at having to take 2 shots more often than not. With a bolt-action it's quite frustrating.

Stealthy gameplay is always the slowest. Taking your time to flank the majority of the team, just for them to begin spawning behind you. I use my stealth class as a rushing class, most of the people on the game can't aim straight anyway.
I love Demolition. Played it on Rust earlier, a lot of fun. So glad they finally added Team Tactical in First Person.

I never seem to use LMGs, I just get bored with standing around. They're too slow to force a pushing attack. I tried using the AUG, thinking it was the most mobile LMG, but even that slowed my gameplay down too much.

AUG is the best LMG and indeed the most mobile but I used Lightweight in my LMG classes since they don't really need the extra 1.4x stopping power boost.

I've always been an offensive player since CoD4 because I'm very impatient and hate camping/patrolling. I love running around and participating thoroughly in the missions. Unlike those asshole who camp and pick off enemies for the desire of easy kills and points. I like defensive play, as in slowly moving around populated points flanking the opposition but I'm always in plain sight for some reason, haha.

I love having the players that actually do the objective on my team when I play. But then I seem to either have a team that is only thinking about racking up kills, or a team that does the objective too well, but completely drop rationality. For example, playing Domination, if I get a team that goes for the objective they'll always capture the last point the enemy has, which will then have the enemy spawning all over the place which completely ****s the team over.

Nothing better than having a dominating team on HQ, though.

It's worst on Highrise.

I always hate getting that nooby team full of snipers on Demolition who are set on getting kills despite the opposition is trying to defend and not capture...Even with my friends they are still focused on getting kills and ranking up. It's total bullshit. Why not just play TDM if you're going to run around with your dash class slashing people from behind when you're supposed to be planting bombs or capturing flags.

Highrise is ****ing terrible when it comes to people trying to snipe. "Oh, I saw a video on YouTube where I could get people from their spawn." So they stand there for half of the ****ing game staring through the window.
If they're not there, they're trying to get to the top of the buildings, or trying to stand on the top of the crane.

Hahaha. Oh God, it's so funny at the start of a Highrise game where everyone panics as they stand around the window. Because we all know half way down the map there is some ****er already set up with his Thermal scoped Intervention. <3 that brave soul that goes out first.

I like watching them spend all this time getting on the roofs and then just shooting them down as they get all snug and ready to fire.

Xbox 360. I no longer have a PS3, and my PC is terrible.

Ah, lame. I hate 360's community. Thus buying my MW2 on my PS3.

Quick question; why do people hate the 'dash' classes? Is it because of the misuse of commando? Or is it just the speed issues. Surely if you run it with Ninja people have no right to call it a cheap class.

The community is terrible on MW2, but it's not so bad elsewhere. MW2 is filled with dicks. I've met some pretty cool people, but so many take the game deadly serious and shout down the mic in anger.

I have no idea what the 'dash' class is. I'm guessing it's Marathon/Lightweight/Commando?
If so, I can't stand it because Commando itself. Marathon and Lightweight combined don't bother me. But add Commando into the mix and I just find it pretty annoying. As soon as you begin the knifing animation you will not hit the ground and considering the range it makes it unfair.
But, thanks to Commando, knifing without it seems useless. It was fine in CoD4 if you could work out how to lunge.

Everything has a counter in this game apart from the knifing. They could have atleast added a Melee Vest perk, slot 3. Have the same effects as knifing on Old School mode on CoD4. Knife twice for the kill.
I honestly do hate Commando.

Also, the maps are far too small. Which makes Commando even more annoying.

'Dash' class only works on Favela and Rust as far as I know. With the Revolver w/ Tactical Knife. The lunge is unbelievable, needless to say it gets alot of people pissed. I don't like cheap classes, I absolutely hate the Danger Close + Noob tuber classes + One Man Army, I refuse to play with anyone using this loadout.

The Melee Vest Perk seems like a good idea of paper but wouldn't that rid the Throwing Knives of use? Besides, the 3rd Perk belongs to Ninja seeing as it's the only useful Perk there. Commando Pro for no fall damage is second to Ninja pro.

To be fair, they also need a perk that lessens the damage caused by Stun/Flash/Smoke grenades. Those things are **** annoying.

I scrapped that class setup when it started getting overused. My knifing class is now:
M21 (Light gun, and I get a Ghillie suit)
Any pistol with or without tactical knife.

Scavenger/Marathon
Cold-Blooded
Ninja Pro

Throwing Knife
Smoke

It's pretty difficult to use as when you start using it somebody will whip out a 'Dash' class. But it's still fun.

I wasn't playing when OMA and Danger Close was at it's peak of usage. I'm extremely glad, because if I come across one person with it now, I have to break out the Blast Shield, which is pretty useless.

Throwing Knives could still be a OHK, I suppose. They're not exactly easy to use, probably the most difficulty I've had in the game was only using throwing knives.
Direct impact kills with special grenades always make me laugh. I remember being the last player on Hardcore S&D, on Sub Base, I was running near the docking area, I got shot but luckily survived, so I went to run through one of the buildings and just dropped. Watched the Match Winning Killcam to see some guy throw a random stun grenade over the building for it to bounce off of me and kill me. Pretty amusing, never seen anything like it since.

Wait, isn't the M21 that sniper that acts like an assault rife? Looks like a solid class, I'd definitely go with Marathon over Scavenger seeing as how you would be wanting alot of knife kills rather than bullet penetration.

And lol @ being able to be hit by a Grenade can. I thought the oddest think you could be hit by was a Care Package or Grenade from a Grenade Launcher.
