Dammit, Karma. I was just about ready to post up a screen of me going 50-1. You're such a ****** pickle.

I was reading through this thread and saw something i wanted to comment on, so forgive me dredging up something Nash said a while ago, but:
I have to disagree with this, as from my own experience i've found that FMJ does indeed increase the damage a weapon deals, at least in the realm of sniper rifles.
In playing this game, i found that a combination of FMJ + Stopping power coupled with the Barrett, achieves a one shot kill with any direct hit on an enemy, where as other rifles, such as the M21, still have a somewhat 50/50 shot of getting a one shot kill unless you get a headshot.
I've used this personally, as a way to achieve one shot kills and ease my sniping, it does not do well for headshots, as they are unnecessary so you will tend to not bother and try and still get kills but not as skilled a kills as you should get with a sniper rifle.
On the other end of the spectrum of misconceptions, the game itself says Silencers have no affect on the damage a weapon deals, only it's range, however i know that putting a silencer on weapon, like the barrett even with FMJ and stopping power, it's no longer able to achieve one shot kills, no matter the range. In the end i found in every attempt to use silencers with a sniper rifle, it's virtually impossible to get a one shot kill without a headshot, when i can do it without the silencer on the same rifle, which i find thoroughly annoying.
The game intends FMJ to be used towards bullet penetration kills, hence the extended mags challenge, but full metal jackets are flat out, meant to be more deadly rounds, and thus it makes sense that having FMJ on a weapon makes it more lethal than one without.

From what I've gathered, silencers do effect damage, but only buy shortening the range. Weapons have an in-range damage amount and an out of range damage amount. I could be wrong, though as I'm not trying to get my PhD in Modern Warfarology.
Not to bang on about campers but, i've noticed it gets really bad on Wasteland in the little underground bit. Had a match on there before and there were 3 in the underground bit, all crouching, one of them was sat on that table in the corner. I had no ammo left in my UMP45 so I whipped my USP pistol out with the tactical knife attachment, ran in there, pistoled 2 of them and knifed the other. The knife kill was epic as it was done on the person on the table, I ran and jumped and knifed him. It was so satisfying!

Wasteland is also a great map for precision-based air support (Predator missiles, Harriers, Airstrikes) because you don't need to guess where the enemy is. Just have it strafe right across the middle, and you're virtually guaranteed to rack up at least a few kills if not more.

Yup. I hate playing that map with anything but the sniper class. It is satisfying to to snipe the hell out of people on that map while they're trying to run around like retards.

And what again exactly is this patch going to do? Hard to keep up with everything that's bugged and glitched in the game.

Thank god, I was about to say I'm not playing anymore until they fix the overpowered 1887 akimbos. It's ridiculous the amount of campers that just wait for you to run by and pump you full of this once...
That and two burst rounds from my m16 should drop a guy or at least injure him to the point where he can't run or walk anymore. If this game is going to be based in reality then when I shot a guy first he should not be able to knife me when he doesn't even know I'm around the corner, and do it from 12 feet anyway after I already shot him first...and then keep running along his merry frickin' way.
If your shot you should not be able to pull of a knife a split second later.

The Akimbo re-balancing, I understand. But what are the "Prestige Hack" and "Public/Private Match" issue?

Im not sure how people are hacking the Prestige
But the Public Private Matches are people that some how get Private matches into the online game. Ive been searching for some Growndwars and end up in one of this hacked matches. they basically go for ever cause they have the settings of the host so they take the timelimit of the score limit off and its usually on Rust. i played one once got a few titles but no one had a nuke to end the game and i was like ???? this ???? im out. Im glad it has been fixed.

Kill or be Killed
Yeah I got stuck in one of those and i was probably like 71-63...its such a small map that it just gets crazy and god forbid someone gets a kill streak off the map is so small theres no where to hide...finally just left cause it wasnt ending anytime soon and I figured I died enough.
As for the prestiget hacking Im not sure either, but if you look at the leader boards and see all those people with prestige 10 and look at there numbers its ridiculous...there hacked.

Definitely. The second week the game was out I glanced at the leaderboards and found people with level 10 already, and I was like "damn how much time do these people spend online???" At that time I didn't know about the hack and just figured those guys were literally playing almost 24/7.

Lol....I thought the 1887 fix was giving them a sniper scope, but it looks like Infinity Ward actually got it right.

I still got killed from like 50 feet away by a fag with akimbo 1887s.
On a lighter note I went 18-0 in a match and it felt great.

Congrats!
Wasteland is shaping up to be my map of choice. I love firing an AT4 rocket into the underground bunker when a whole ????load of enemies are holed up in there! Easy way to get double and triple kills as well as killstreak rewards.

Thanks! I'm still finding out what strategies work for me on each map. I'll also have to remember that rocket tip on wasteland. I bet it works similar to the cave on Afgan.
