Great, patch actually makes the game stutter now when it didn't before the patch...

Really? Haven't had any issues so far.

I'm not even sure what it did. Final Killcam still stutters, and I can't say if my FPS got any better, although I've stayed above 90 so far (only 2 matches).

Have any of you guys used the G11? Jesus christ, I was blown away. Kills in 3-4 hits, bursts eject all three shots almost instantly, recoil is second to none and it has 48 shots in the clip. Only drawback is the attachments for it are Low Zoom and Variable Zoom which both suck as far as I'm concerned, so I'm stuck with the ironsights (which are so slim it's like theyr'e not even there). I'm pretty happy with it.

I've been using the Commando a lot and the gun is clearly top tier alongside the AK74u. Here's how I'd rate the weapons in terms of power and their ability to simply get kills. (I'm bored and waiting for the game to copy to this laptop)

1. AK74u - You move stupidly fast, kill stupidly fast, and the gun's recoil is easy to control. Easily the best weapon in the game in the hands of a skilled player.

2. Commando - Sure you don't move as fast as a 74u user, but the damage is solid and the recoil is even easier to control. Players who don't tend to fly around corners ready to drop a team in a third of a second and prefer to work angles and play a bit more slowly will feel very at home with this gun.

3. HS10 - The thing reloads almost instantly, 1hits at close range (like a shotgun should), is semi-auto and is an absolute beast in modes like domination where there's a lot of CQB. On top of that, you can run around with two (You'll need steady aim if you want to hit anything consistently with this, and it reloads so fast sleight of hand really isn't needed anyway).

4. G11 - I put this above the AK47 simply because I think it has insane potential that I have yet to explore, for reasons I said above

5. AK47 - The gun simply gets kills. Same damage as Commando, recoil a tad worse. Great weapon to use while you are leveling from 38 to 44.

6. Stoner63 - Shoots fast, hits hard. You'll kill a guy in three hits if you can control the recoil well enough. For an LMG, 30 shots in the clip and an atrocious reload time means you'll definitely want sleight of hand, but if you can control the recoil you'll be on fire.

7. M60 - Run into a room, hold fire, kill everyone, lyao.

8. Tie between the Famas and AUG. Tempeted to lean towards the AUG, but I stuck to the ak74u as much as I could because I did not like them t.t

NOTE: These are again for PC.

How good do you want your FPS to be? I think 90 is probably where you could just be happy with it. I'm not gonna be one of those people that says you can't see any difference above 30, but certainly around 90 any increase wouldn't be noticed.

I haven't tried out the new patch yet, but I didn't see anything about fixing the Spawn Points, which is the main thing detracting from the game for me at this point. I've been pretty lucky with the lag/stuttering issues I suppose, but the spawn points are causing me headaches every match.

Finally found a sniper load out that worked for me:

sniper: WA2000 with extended mags and acog scope.
sidearm: cz75 with extended mags
perks: Ghost, Warlord Pro, any third I have Ninja
equipment: Frags,Nova gas, Claymore.

Tried for a long time to make it work with scopes, but the maps are just not suited for long range sniping. And the scope sway is so awful that any AR can easily kill you on long range engagements. Since I have put on an acog sight I get a lot more kills. Aim for the chest and you get one hit kills. The claymore to secure a chokepoint. If your claymore is gone use nova gas to lock down chokepoints if enemies are trying to flank. Thought to share this for other people wanting to snipe. Just don't use the zooming scopes, Acog on any sniper will do better I think.

I don't know if they've been fixed or not because I haven't really noticed terrible spawning happening often enough, although it does happen to me too, just isn't rampant.

And my comment about FPS was me trying to say that I'm not having any issues with FPS post-patch where the guy I quoted said there was some stuttering. It stays around 90-100, sometimes going up to 125 but sadly never during action. And I can't see more than 60 anyway because my monitor is at 60Hz. However, gun firing is tied to FPS, and your FPS can be low enough to where the fire rate slows down. However, 90 is just fine for that. So FPS for me is more than just what I can see too.

NOTE: I have found people complaining about game crashes after this patch. I just got done playing and some people would leave the game and come back to the server saying the game crashed on them. Even the guy I played with said it crashed. One person said they had a truncate error of some sort. Now I didn't have any problem, but keep a lookout for any reports or if it happens to you and tell Treyarch immediately. I don't like the fact this game is pretty shitty as it stands but I'd rather them fix the hell out of it than never fix it at all.

No. Not in the COD engine.

Just tested it in Black Ops. Went down to 45 and the Galil does not fire as fast. Although it's probably not enough to matter for most people, it does bug me.

Although it's much more prominent of an effect in older CoD's. Also, I back when I played 2 religiously, I also had a PC that would be at 125 one moment, then drop to 20 the next.

I have a question to anyone who has this game for Xbox. How does this game compare to Halo Reach? I'm only asking because I bought Halo Reach and I'm kind of hesitant about spending another 60 dollars so soon after. I don't usually buy a lot of games. Could anyone tell me how this compares to Reach first off on a competitive level? Is it more balanced and do you think the competitive scene in this game will be bigger than Reach? And secondly, which game is more fun? (Purely subjective, I know, but I'd love to hear what other people think.) So basically, should I buy this game, when I own Reach, and Modern Warfare 2?
