Somehow the spread is higher while an EMP is active, maybe because these fancy accesory lights in the ACOG don't work :confused: And iron sight/sniper rifle sight works too btw ... I had far more problems with the oil rig where you need to use the thermal scope, enemys kept shooting me and I haven't found them for ages ... from above ... -_-'
FAL does damage very close to the SCAR, only in Semi auto. SCAR used to be able to 1 hit kill in hardcore online. Not much more offline. So it's still an awesome weapon. I often took FAL w/ shotgun + akimbo spam weapon or sniper in the campaign. Lets you cover most situations.
Strange; I can 1-hit-kill body-shot enemies in Veteran with the FAL, while the SCAR needs a few rounds. And my choice of scope has always been ACOG.
In MW2, ACOG is better than it was in CoD4. But it's still inferior to a holographic sight or reflect sight. Having said that, the holographic (only usable offline) in CoD4 was fucking awful, as was the ACOG. So much zoom. And yeah, weapon balance offline is different to online, but most of the rules still apply. Scar is still very god, and FAL is too.
FAL is amazing in online. Well atleast the last time I played it, about 2 months ago before any nerfs it was crazy with a holo sight. You can kill anyone with two shots on any part of their body and a headshot is an instant kill. It almost had no spread as well. It was basically a Gewher43 on steroids from WaW.
FAL is awesome because it was made in belgium, the awesomeness here rubs off on items that are produced here
I hate hardcore because there is no respawning in the gametypes I like. I'd rather play CSS if they're going to take away my spawns.
I'm thinking of the 'Hardcore' and 'Pro' tags attracting the little idiots that think they are 1337 and everyone wants to hear about how awesome they are and how everyone else sucks in comparison.
I like how desert eagle and the revolver pwn in hardcore compared to normal mode ... but I don't like how there's no express version of hardcore mode nor ground attack, all this wouldn't be a prob with dedicated servers, but yeah ... I saw today 5 wallhackers and 1 aimbotter in mw2, VAC doesn't update on it's own in MW2 or what?
No, it uses VAC ... Oh snap, valve cannot earn any money, only steam can :x Valve is bound by it's game because steam said so ... gosh that's so fishy ...
