i have grown to appreciate the SMG's, which i hated at first, but still dont use them that frequently.i gotta say that since going Prestige and forcing myself to go for all the challenges, i actually feel like i have become a better, more rounded out player. now, i am spending most of my hardcore matches with a class that has a sniper rifle and AK47 (by way of Overkill).

when i started playing hardcore, i moved from the M16 (with red dot) to M14 (with red dot) to a a silenced G3. i started out during the beta using the SAW as my primary weapon, i later moved to using a shotgun with martyrdom. You see shotguns, SMG's, and most varieties of rifles with almost equal frequency. And the (oddly enough) G36c on certain maps.I think it's a testament to the game's (relative) overall balance that you never see everyone using the same weapons. And the MP5 with a silencer and UAV jammer. Quote:Originally posted by OperativeSix:quote:I think I can quite happily just tool around with my M16 and red-dot sight forever - who needs anything else? I used to think that too, but then I got hooked on the R700.

1 seconds before player B shot at player A, the server will send out the commands to either initiate a Kill Cam or the show awesomely Pavlovian golden +10 in the middle of your screen. Ultimately, the only thing that matters is what the host saw. What player A saw, what player B saw, and what the host saw. Therefore, both the players involved are seeing an inaccurate version of the event while the server sees the true event you speak of.That means there are actually 3 frames of reference involved. The 'truth' is always from the frame of reference of the server, which is the host in 360 games. But in the 360 version the server is just another player and probably just as likely to have an inaccurate version of the true event.
