One is 500 head shots which in this game is just pure luck lol
I dunno, I get a hell of a lot of headshots on purpose, got 3 in a row the other night, on three enemies who raced down the same corridor and I just zoomed in and popped a couple 3-shot bursts and dropped them all with headshots.

Besides, you should be getting at least a 10% headshot rate on kills just by sheer chance.

Silencers help with getting headshots as well.

I just want to say that I run Gung Ho with the wubstep shotgun and I've gotten way more kills with it than without.

Also everybody runs silencers in free for all. Parabolic microphone is king in that mode.

DId you ever really run without it? I will post screenshots when I get home to illustrate what I mean. THe biggest question in regards to teh wubstep is, does it work based on a pellet like system? Or is its accuracy a misinterpreation of it just really being a single wide projectile?

I'm pretty sure worrying about nerd stuff like that is the antithesis of the wubstep.

As is using 'antithesis', granted.

Yes I ran without it. Wubstep was the weapon I spent the first 20 levels with just because I liked it so much. Being able to jet around and slide towards people without having to wait for the gun to come back up for hip fire is a world of difference. Being able to get a shot off before the other guy has raised his gun is a big difference maker in gun fights with it.

And I'm pretty sure it's just a single wide projectile while running. Only really turns into a cone when you're standing still.

Interesting, I will have to test this, its completely opposite of my experience with it. I also play it like a sneaky rear end in a top hat and almost never engage someone head on and when I do I feel like the time to bring it up from sprinting is less than half a second.

I'll look into it.

Stims only will let you survive one more bullet maybe. What stims are good at is reducing your health recharge delay.

Actually I did some testing on this today on PS4 with split-screen and two controllers.

Exo Stim is CoD4's Juggernaut. Depending on the range and gun, it'll let you survive 1-2 extra body shots. And at long range, it will even let you survive what would normally be a lethal body shot from the MORS.

And the PC playerbase must be bizzaro world, because 90% of PS4 players use a silencer, making parabolic mic absolutely a worthwhile attachment.

I think when aim is more important than positioning people don't feel the need to hide their minimpa position maybe? I dunno, I have not ran into a lot of silencers.

And yeah, stims own.

Patch is apparently live on PC. The kill requirements for camos at 500 have been hammered down to EIGHTY.

That's far, far better.

Prestige 1: IMR (second to last assault rifle)
Prestige 2: AMR9 (final submachine gun)
Prestige 3: Streaker (final wildcard to run four kill streaks)

I chose Streaker the last time because I planned to level only with the Bal-23 for the third prestige, so no other unlocks are required.
