Just picked up this game guys and have a few questions for you about it.

My usual COD4 loadout is G36C with stopping power, bandolier & deep impact, or RPD with Grip, Stopping Power and Steady aim for smaller maps. Sometimes use MP5 or AK47.

As there is no Assault class and the first LMG you get is horrible and a bitch to use, I wanted to know:

1. Are there any SMGs or LMGs that would have a similar range and feel to the assault rifles from COD4?

2. The maps seem to be very large, are the SMGs as useful as in COD4?

3. Simple one: What are your preferred weapons/classes/perks?

Edit:

4: Map packs: worth getting?

2. Yes.

3. Gewehr 43 with Stopping Power.

3. Type 100 with scope, Betty's, Juggernaut and Martyrdom.

4. I thought so even if for the Nazi Zombies mode.

As the others have been answered.
1.) Not really, I'd go for the bolt action rifles personally.
4.) Do some research, they don't add much to the standard multiplayer modes.

Wow. grenade indicator sucks in the campaign...

2.Yes once you get the Mp40 add stopping power and you'll never need another gun.
I mean it. It is just that overpowered.

3. STG with stopping power, bomb squad and steady aim or Type 100 with the same perks.
4. The maps are pretty good and the new shi no numa zombies map is reall fun and adds new achievements

4.) Do some research

Hence this thread... I tend to trust the gaming community more than web critics on these things.

1. The STG-40, although classified as a rifle,it is the only assault rifle in the game. They put it in rifles because they didn't want make an assault rifle category for one gun.

1) STG-40
2) Yeah, the PPSH is a great gun
3) PPSH with a drum mag, bandolier, stopping power, extreme conditioning
4) Yeah, just for the Nazi Zombies really :D

Go for the mosin nagant with stopping power and last stand. Use the iron sights. And perk one, i go with bandolier. If you canpull it off it works fantastically. I regularly get 40 kills a game with this setup. And i didnt see the point in buying the new maps. They dont add to the experience and zombies is overrated.

Yeah I think learning thirteen maps will keep me occupied for now anyway!

Really enjoying the mulitplayer, it feels less frantic and chaotic than COD4 but doedsn't have the same adrenalin rush for the most part.

STG-44 w/ scope is all you'll ever need.

Never played CoD4, so can't help you there.

But I would buy Map Pack #2 for the fantastic Zombies mode.

the gewher is an fing amazing auto rifle, no recoil and great range. The rifles all suck until the m1a1 but the bolt action is pwnage once you get down with it.

1. Not really. There is a rifle section and the closest thing to an assult rifle is the STG-44. It does look like a modern assult rifle if that is what you are trying to achieve. It's fully auto too. Unlike what everyone is telling you, the Gewehr is NOT fully auto. It's semi-auto.

2. It depends on the map. I try not to use SMGs on the levels with the tanks, which are the largest levels.

3. STG-44/Kar98k with bandolier, stopping power, second chance, coaxial machine gun

As for the map packs, I bought both only because CoD5 is really the only game I have aside from the Orange Box. The zombie maps are cool, but the multiplayer maps are hit or miss. They didn't include any maps with tanks though, thank god.

nothing to do with thread. Hate to butt in on your turf. BUT hun!! im in southern italy now, no cunting adaptor and my texts didnt seem to go through last night! spent agges there trying to figure out old meteor free text accounts but to no avail. On gmail. Im such a weirdo. Going on the escapist to find you! i had to join and verify account! bye......sorry to all. Yes this is very gay. And im starting to think im a pscycho girlfriend.

STG-44 stopping power and whatever perks you want.

Mosin-Nagant no scope, stopping power, steady aim. It's like a long range shotgun.

mp40, stg44, m1a1 or DP28 all with stopping power, bomb squad and Deep impact

I generally use an Arisaka with stopping power. It's a one-hit kill in most scenarios.

In saying that, Call of Duty isn't all that good. At all.

Wow. grenade indicator sucks in the campaign...

Uderstatement of the century.

1)Not many LMG's in W@W would feel the same as the assault from CoD 4, though in the rifle section you unlock the STG around rank 30, thats got a good rate of fire and pretty good range.
2)Only if you intend on charging headlong into an enemy. The rifles and bolt-actions are better choices for large maps.
3)Dont have a preference, I like to mix it up. Once I finish all the challenges though I usually go with an STG with an apeture sight, stopping power, bandolier, deep impact, and the fast tank reload thing (I forget what its called).
4)Hells yeah, even if its just for the new Nazi Zombie maps.

I just finished the campaign for the first time, and I kid you not every single death bar one or two bansai charges was from grenades.

It doesn't help that your utterly retarded teammates refuse to move out of your way when you're trying to run away from one...

Will do! Am gonna try get used to the vanilla ones first though.

Yeah I've mostly been using the Gewher and I agree it's awesome, you can get kills from such long range.

It seems to be much more effective with the iron sights than the scopes.

15 kill streak on my first night playing it woohoo!

I don't know what difficulty you have your game set at, but I'm playing through veteran right now, and it has got to be the most frusterating thing I have experienced in a long time. I feel like pulling out my hair and I'm only 1/3 of the way through. Anytime you take cover, you can expect at least 3 grenades coming your way within a few seconds.

1. Are there any SMGs or LMGs that would have a similar range and feel to the assault rifles from COD4? The MG42 reminds me of the SAW, but the prior has much more recoil and faster firing rate. Oh, and if the AK47 was unbalancing in CoD 4, the MP40 is crippling in CoD5

2. The maps seem to be very large, are the SMGs as useful as in COD4?
Maps aren't large, they're huuuuge. Still, the MP40 can kill anything really.It's overpowered and we all know it.

3. Simple one: What are your preferred weapons/classes/perks?
I don't have any personal favourites, to be honest. Sometimes I'll feel like staying away and sniping, others I'll feel like full pelt charging, others I'll just use my Gewehr and kill you. So, yeah, possibly the Gewehr with sights.
Edit:

4: Map packs: worth getting?
I've had loads of fun with the first map pack, the zombie map in that one is much more refined than the one that comes with the game.

I once got killed solely with grenade impacts. How bad do I feel?

I like your username, it made me smile!

I was playing it on normal. There weren't excessive levels of grenades (hello COD4 veteran) but the indicator blended into to scenery and half the time I didn't know I was standing on top of one.

Then any time I did it was too late as my stupid dumb fuck teammates had me backed into a corner and I couldn't get past them.

Don't think I'll bother with verteran on this one, too many horror stories!

Also regarding the AI, I don't think I've ever played a game where your squad ran straight into your line of fire as much as they do in this one!

Nice, thanks. I agree too the Gewehr is great. Haven't used the MP40 much I don't like it's skinny wimpy look and sound (it is very powerful though)

I enjoy using the BAR too, gets lots of close range kills.
