Need tips from COD4 "experts"

Ok, so I've had the game about three weeks now and i'm playing online. I've logged about 2.5 days of online time so far (according to my profile) and I'm a larger Silver Star ( Brigadier General, I believe about a 43) but I'm still having problems figuring out the best "weapon setup".

Please list the "classes" that you feel are the best. Which weapon, what add-on's, and what "perk combo's" do you guys/gals find the most effective?! I've spent the most time with the M4Carbine with red-dot scope, double-tap, deep impact and "3frags". I do pretty well in the light maps...but not too well in the darker ones (vacant/pipeline/bog). Any suggestions?

Thanks.

With larger maps you generally want to go with an assault. Smaller more confined maps go with a sub machine gun. They are perfect for CQC Close Quarter Combat.

Something that i usually roll with for assault looks like the following:

G3 + M9/Deagle + Stun + Frag x3 + Stopping Power + Deep impact.

Submachine setup:

P90 + Any side weapon + Stun + Frag x3 + Double tap/stoppin power + Deep impact/marty

Setup for Rushing in - P90+ .50 Call

Perk 1 Claymore

Perk 2 Overkill

Perk 3 Martyrdom for normal matches - Last Stand for Hardcore matches so you don't kill your own team mates by accident

Setup for Camping ( for sniping) - .50 Call + G3C

Perk 1- Claymore

Perk 2- UAV Jammer - Overkill if you want to have the G3C

Perk 3- Dead Silence

The most adaptable setup in my experience is

M4 with Red Dot

Frag x3

Stopping Power

Deep Impact

This is a good setup to get used to CoD4 and will work in most situations. However, once you get better, you will start to realise that the M4 has quite a few limitations. At long range, it isn't great and it isn't very powerful.

I don't usually change the perks, so I'd go with a G3 or M16 once you get better.

For those close quarters maps, the P90 rules supreme, except on shipment where I would use the auto shotgun.

If you want to try sniping, I would just change the first perk to claymore, and use the Barrett .50cal if you have it. I don't rate the semi-auto snipers other than the Barrett, so go with a bolt action if you haven't got the Barrett yet. Hope this helps, if you need any more specific advice, just ask.

ok take my advice!..i average roughly 25-40 kills a game!..level depending!...i have 32000kills and 13000deaths!...a 2.32kd!...

my classes that let me dominate are as follows!

1. MP5 with SILENCER...Perks..Either Bandolier or 3 Frags level depending!...UAV Jammer and Dead Silence

2. M4 with Silencer..Perks..3 frags...Stopping Power...Steady Aim

3. Dragunov Sniper or .50 Cal(NO ACOG SCOPE EVER)..Perks..Bandolier or Claymore...Stopping Power..Iron Lungs

4. P90 With Red Dot..Perks..3 Frag..Stopping Power..Steady Aim

5. G36 With Red Dot..Perks..Bandolier..Stopping Power..Steady Aim

that is usually what i do when i wanna dominate!....i usually complete every gun challenge so i am always rotating!..i am at 7th prestige now when i go to 10...that will probably b my 5 classes!

The best thing is to create different classes for the ways you like to play on the different maps.

My classes:

Assault: (All rounder)

- M4/AK47/G36c with silencer or nade launcher (good on open maps).

Perks: 3xFrags, Stopping Power, Last Stand.

Support: (Good for choke points)

- M249/RPD with Red Dot Sight.

Perks: 3xFrags, Stopping Power, Deep Impact.

Stealth:

- M4/AK47/G36cwith a silencer.

Perks: Bandolier, UAV Jam, Dead Silence.

Sniper:

- M21/Dragunov/Beretta .50 cal.

Perks: 2xClaymores, UAV Jam, Iron Lungs.

Sub: (Close Quarters)

- MP5/AK74u with silencer.

Perks: Bandolier, Slight of Hand, Last Stand.

I use all of them guns and perks im prestige 9 wooooo

my favourite that i use all the time is

ak 47u - red dot scope
any pistol
bandolier
stopping power
matyrdome

best perk combo would be Bandolier, Stopping Power and Deep Impact

when it comes to weapons, that is personal preference

i've found a weapon setup that is largely underused for a variety of reasons but gives you a lethal combo of range and stopping power. a lot of people don't use the m14 because its semi auto and has high recoil. still less use the ACOG scope because it has a little sway in it. however, i've found that putting stopping power on an m14 gives the user the only one hit kill headshot of the assault class rifles on normal modes and a one hit kill anywhere on the body in hard core. enter the acog, with its advanced zoom, you can use this setup at medium to long range effectively, and since you only need one shot to the head, unlike every other assault rifle, you don't need to worry about the recoil as you must with othe weapons that are either fully auto or take more than one headshot, or both. it is the most versatile weapon for medium to long range play as it is as effective as a sniper with stopping power, is very accurate, and is semi auto, so there is no wait between shots. also, with the acog, you get a decent zoom for headshots at rane, but without the massive sway of true sniper rifles when scoped. and if you can click or pull the trigger fast, it can be reasonably deadly in close range, especially with steeady aim, since it only takes to rounds to kill.

so m14 with ACOG, Desert Eagle

Bandolier: (once you get used to the semi auto and the ACOG, you'll find yoursefl survivng a lot longer on all but the most confined maps (Shipment, vacant))

Stoppin power: (the only non sniper rifle one hit headshot)

your choice, Steady aim for close quarters, Deep impact to catch hiding people, Matryrdom for anyone who might sneak up on you while scoped tey all work well.

learn how to bait your opponents, IE. if i have a shotgun and there's a guy across a parking lot i have a very low chance to kill him, thats why i'll pull out my pistol and just start firing, more often than not he'll run around the corner thinking i'm in last stand or somethign, then he gets a face full of shotty.

also the most important one, learn the maps, learn exactly where to throw you grenades at the start of a match, in most maps there are at least 2 or three chokepoints that the enemy will run through, and if you can get to them quick enough you're gaurenteed a kill or 2.

ok this is my setup:

CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT:

MP5 w/ silencer + pistol(any) silenced

flash bang x 3

uav jammer

steady aim

LONG RANGE COMBAT:

M21 + pistol(any) silenced

claymores

uav jammer

iron lungs

i do have other weapons classes but the 2 are my primary ones.

add me: psn id= CHICO86426

MP5 w/ silencer

Non-silenced 1911

Perk 1: Bandolier (something like that)

Perk 2: Stopping power

Perk 3: Martyrdom

M4 w/ Red dot sight

Non-silenced 1911

Perk 1: Frag x 3

Perk 2: Stopping Power

Perk 3: Last Stand

M249 SAW w/ Red dot sight

M9

Perk 1: RPG x 2

Perk 2: Stopping Power

Perk 3: Martyrdom

M1014 w/ Red dot sight

M9

Perk 1: Frag x 3

Perk 2: Stopping Power

Perk 3: Martyrdom

Barret 50 cal (if you haven't unlocked it yet, then the Druganov), no attachments

1911

Perk 1: Bandolier

Perk 2: Stopping Power

Perk 3: Iron Lungs

Hope these helped!

for me my best have been...

mp5

silencer

bandolier

stopping power

extreme conditioning

rpd

grip

stopping power

deep impact

Lol this works for anything.

M16A4

any pistol

any special gernade

Bomb Squad

Stopping power

Steady aim

best perk combo would be Bandolier, Stopping Power and Deep Impact

when it comes to weapons, that is personal preference

dstryr13

here is what i prefer. Remeber, modify these classes everyone is suggesting to fit your own preferences.

RunNgun (general combat)

P90 red dot sight

USP silenced (best pitol imo- minimum recoil, same dmg as the other 2 "small" pistols. Desert eagle, though powerful, has too much recoil, and only 7 bullets per clip)

x3 flash (toss in a building in which there is an enemy camper / in a better postion then urself)

stopping power (kill in one less bullet)

steady aim (always hipfire in CQC)

Stealth

MP5 silenced

M9 (shares amo with MP5, so a little like bandolier)

x3 flash

UAV Jammer

dead silenced (lets u creep up on smart bats, i find steady aim isnt really required to hip fire successfully with the MP5)

Search and Destroy

M1014 (semi-auto shotty for close quarters)

M4 carbine, silenced (for long range)

stun (if i get an "X" marker when i toss a stun in a room, i know theres a stunned enemy inside. so i just toss a nade in, and BAM he cant get away lolz)

clamores (usefulness goes without saying really in this game mode)

overkill (uhhh.. duh obvious)

dead silence (stealth is extremely important in this game moed, as only 1 life per round)

I average around 8-15 kills per round with that class, and win the great majority of my games, as long as my team doesnt entirely suck lolz.

Domination

whatever gun i feel like using

USP silenced

stun

C4 (place on flags, when it is announced u are losing the flag, double tap square to detonate)

ur choice

ur choice

really only important thing in domination is C4 to guard flags xD

p90, stopping power, 3frags, martydom

m16, stopping power, 3frags, steady aim

(both are red tiger)

gold uzi, stopping power, bandolier, martydom

p90, stopping power, 3frags, martydom

m16, stopping power, 3frags, steady aim

(both are red tiger)

gold uzi, stopping power, bandolier, martydom

I usually use these 3 classes:

For close encounters:

p90 with red dot, frag x3, stopping power and martydom

for long dist encounters:

m4 carabine with red dot, claymore, stopping power and steady aim

for silenced and careful encounters:

p90 with silencer, claymore, UAV jammer and death silence

First off i would suggest to get a few friends to play with, it makes the game alot easyier and more fun.

Next i would say just try a whole heck of alot of differnt combos for your guns and perks (as everyone has differnt prefferences).

ALso what mode do you enjoy playing the most? Because that will play some part in what you want to have.

For me i play Attack and Defend or Hardcore Attack and Defend the most, and i usually use the M4 with red dot and as far as perks go, i switch them up alot, but i usually have the HIDING FROM THE RADAR one (UAV or something...cant remember the name sorry) so enemys cant spot me on the map, I also ALWAYS have my Claymores on *i get sooo many kills with those lol* and then i also enjoy the conditioning one, as you can sneak up behind people nicely. But yeah, just try differnt combinations and see what your most comfortable with.

M4 or Shotgun for me usually with my Perks changing often, but i ALWAYS have my CLAYMORES ready to go (:

PS: Ohh yeah one last thing.. if the whole other team is using Jaugernot (im tired so excuse the spelling), then i put on Mardydam to get them back heehe

Don't die.ScottEFresh

best strategy ever (not sarcasm)

Umm lets see

1. M4 w/ Red Dot Sight, Desert Eagle (Golden if Level 55), Stun Grenade, Perk 1 Bandoiler, Perk 2 Stopping Power, Perk 3 Deep Impact.

2. MP5 w/ Red Dot Sight, Desert Eagle (Golden if Level 55), Stun Grenade, Perk 1 Bandoiler, Perk 2 Stopping Power, Perk 3 Deep Impact.

3. 50. Barrett Sniper (Level 49), Desert Eagle (Golden if Level 55), Stun Grenade, Perk 1 Bandoiler, Perk 2 Stopping Power, Perk 3 Deep Impact.

Those are some good ones

Class 1

Silenced Mp5 and Acog M16 with smoke g

Claymores, overkill, and dead silence

Class 2

m16 with red dot/gdeagle/stun g

rpgs, stopping power, and deep imact

Class 3

P90 red dot/M9/stun g

frag x3, stopping power, steady aim

Class 4

50 Cal/ ak74 silenced with smoke g

claymores, overkill, iron lungs

Class 5

Gold shot with the grip/ M9/ stun g

X, stopping power, and steady aim

Lately I've been using a M40A3 with a ACOG scope. Perks are bandolier(barely run out of ammo), stopping power(hit them in the chest in a regular match = instant kill), and steady aim. Steady aim with it because walking through a hallway and a guy pops out, you can usually hit him if he's close for a instant kill with SP. Its because to take a Desert eagle with you though since the M40A3 isn't always what you should use while on the move.

Also on CQC maps I usually take a MP w/ RDS, bandolier, stopping power, and deep impact, its powerful at close to medium range. Although firing at medium range isn't recommend unless you fire in bursts.

It all depends on how you want to play really. Thats why CoD4 is amazing.Wasdie

I agree on that. There are so many good classes to make. It deffinitly has the best selection for class making than any other game.

lolz "experts" at COD4. No such thing any noob can go into a game and get a decent score. especially pubbing.
