    Really? =/

    I find that Favela, Invasion, Karachi, Quarry, Rundown, Skidrow, Underpass and to some extent Terminal are full of campers.
    Though my definition of campers isn't limited to sitting in a corner and waiting for someone to walk by. It also includes looking out a window for people to walk by and stuff like that. Basically anything that involves sitting still...and waiting.

    The only maps that i really like are Afghan, Derail(Favorite map), scrapyard and wasteland.

    my favorite thing to do is run around with a sniper with acog and offensively snipe.
    Maybe i have to change my playing style. But i hate just sitting around.

    I use the M93 Raffica on my assault rifle class (currently the M16A4 with shotgun attachment), in conjunction with Last Stand it's awesome. It makes for an awesome triple-threat. The M16A4 deals wicked damage, the shotgun attachment is perfect for up-close work, and the M93 is like a mini-M16 with the three round burst, perfect for if I run out of ammo on the M16 or go into Last Stand. I'd say it's an excellent counterpart to any assault rifle or SMG, giving you a good balance of short and long range. On any assault rifle that I haven't unlocked the shotgun attachment for, I usually roll with the Striker autoshotgun, although I just unlocked the Ranger double-barrel, so I might start using that now.

    On my Sniper class, I back up my WA2000 with the PP2000 machine pistol. It's fully automatic with good accuracy and damage. It suits me well when someone manages to get inside the minimum kill range of my sniper rifle.

    With the riot shield, I use the Stinger missile launcher. I mostly use this class when enemy air support is called in. The shield helps me survive if an enemy helicopter, Harrier, or Pave Low tries to shoot me, and the two Stinger missiles can take down anything once you get a lock on. UAVs, attack helicopters, hovering Harriers, Pave Lows, AC-130s, chopper gunships, you name it...just about anything besides care package delivery helicopters, simply because you can't lock on to those.

    So, I'd say there is no definite "best" secondary. It depends on your classes and what you like to use them for. ;)

    Cloud962 - forgot about Quarry, that's another bad one. ^_^ Favela isn't too bad, anyone who camps is bound to get killed pretty quickly on that map. Karachi and Invasion are pretty standard city maps, so of course there's always going to be camping. I haven't really played Underpass or Rundown enough to get a good feel for them...and Skidrow campers are pretty easy to counter.

    My 2 primary class loadouts:

    M21 EBR + Thermal Scope (this comes with the ghillie suit, unlocked all of them)
    .44 Magnum + Tactical Knife
    [still experimenting with different things in this slot]
    smoke grenade

    Marathon Pro / Scavenger Pro (if I want to knife run or spam smoke grenades)
    Lightweight Pro / Stopping Power Pro (if I want to focus on knife running or sniping)
    Commando Pro / Steady Aim Pro (again, knife running vs. sniping)

    works wonders for me, I am level 70.

    Without stopping power, can you kill someone in one shot (on regular) without getting a headshot? And how exactly do you make your knifing class work?

    My strategy = not dieing. I've actually gotten pretty good at it, especially on some maps. It mainly involves uses classes with stealthy perks, I usually use the M21 EBR or SCAR with Marathon or Bling + Cold Blooded + Ninja. :D

    Other then the flying craft, what other "vehicles" are there to have extra power to destroy? I ask because im currently using the stopping power perk and recently unlocked the pro version. I know the jav and stinger are good for shooting things out of the sky. I just got the game a few weeks back so im still relatively noobish compared to you experts.

    The M21 EBR has almost no recoil and high rate of fire, so its really easy to land two shots into your target once you are lined up. You will usually need two shots to kill without stopping power unless you are at really close range, which happens more than you would think.

    The knifing class literally consists of being as spatially aware as possible, and sprinting 100% of the time. Engage targets that are as close as possible. In the rare instances where you are forced to engage someone outside the knifing range, unload the magnum on them. you have to hit 3 bullets into them, but the rate of fire is basically infinite and the accuracy is very high as long as you are aiming down the sight of the weapon. If someone sees you from a moderate distance, you have to find a way to get closer to them under cover or run away.

    It is surprisingly effective, fun, and people will hate you for it. ;)

    The trick is that you are the fastest kid on the block, and you get the ghilly suit too. The sniper rifle is the lightest weapon class, and the pistol + tactical knife is also light, and you use all the speed perks.

    25 kills and no deaths? I can only dream... One day...
    You use the SCAR with a silencer I'm assuming? And with Bling do you use silencer and heartbeat sensor?
    I'm not sure how stealth works, because everywhere I go there seem to be enemy and I can never run around them and attack them from the back.

    some of my best rounds were 55-11 and 38-3.

    The 55 round I got the AC-130 twice.

    Yep, SCAR w/ Silencer and Heartbeat and claymore. You must employ hit and run tactics, it works better on some maps than others.

    I must know this too! :D

    The thing with FMJ is that shooting through glass also counts. I think the maps where FMJ kills are easy are Highrise, Favela, Derail, that snowy submarine level, and that mine level. Pretty much any level with lots of glass or lots of thin metal. On those levels I usually get 5 or FMJ kill count. Others are anywhere between 0 - 2.

    Ninja perk is my defense against this method that most people like to use. Once you get ninja to pro, they cant hear ur footsteps

    using bling is ok, but its better if you can do without it and just use the front sights.

    Can't wait till I unlock Ninja Pro... I'm tired of crouching everywhere.
    Also, does Sitrep Pro override enemy's Ninja Pro?

    Nope, the only vehicles are the air support ones. Helis, Harriers, Pave Lows, AC-130'ss, UAV's...

    I'd like to think that the extra damage also effects the ground vehicles, so you can blow up a car faster, but haven't tried that out or paid enough attention to tell the difference.

    Sounds as a good an explanation as any. im guessing maybe getting a kill as a result of a car explosion from a weapon or something. im guessing the pro version makes it easirer to blow things up?

    Ive got extended mags on a few guns, you just need to get kills through something with FMJ attachted, glass, metal, whatever.

    Also, to note, only one bullet needs to have penetration for the kill to count towards the extended mags.
