Docwagon 856 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 So I've maxed out prestige/attachments xp bonuses for the MTAR, type 25, M8A1, AN-94, and am getting close on the FAL. I wanted to try a new AR for the xp, and that leaves me with the MSR, M27, and 556. Is there any reason to use the 556? The delay between bursts seems to kill this gun. The M8 fires faster and is also a one burst kill up close. The FAL is easier to spray with in a panicky up close situation and is a 2 shot kill, plus easier to hit targets at a distance with...so what's the point of the 556?

Sennex 1,903 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I can't think of one. I have tried it a few dozen times now, and the pause between shots kills it for me, you have to be dead on every time or its over. At least with the FAL its dependent on my old ass reflexes. Still though, I do love how the 556 looks LOL Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

techno 3,477 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I always used it with silencer and select fire, hated it as burst. BO7H B4RRELS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,374 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Are you playing core or hardcore? Hated it in core but was a go to in HC. The M27 is also great in HC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 1,245 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I actually wrecked face with the 556. My first gold gun if I recall. I play a defensive style though, long to medium range engagements. I would put select fire on for close range maps though. BEARDED, FOR HER PLEASURE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The M27 is amazing in HC TDM Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 9,809 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I can barely remember any of the guns in BO2 even though it was barely a year ago I was playing relentlessly The semi auto/burst weapons are amazing in HC mode. The Swat 556 seemed painfully garbage in Core but it wrecks in HC. Basically any gun you're not liking is worth taking into the HC playlists to unlock the goodies.

Dr Diamond 407 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 peacekeeper is a machine in hardcore (yes i know its not a proper AR)the fal with full auto is also a complete beast in hardcore J4MES OX4D 1 Chookes said:I absoloutely prefer it this way. You have overall more control. You can finish one guy off first, or all ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yea, I absolutely love the Peacekeeper, it is my go to weapon. EoTech with U reticle Foregrip Folding Stock (or whatever its called) man, I had 3 classes with just different perk setups for that thing. LOVED IT Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dattebayo 446 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It used to be really REALLY good before 3ARC patched the sh*t out of it. Now it's your average, everyday burst fire. Still though, it's a very good looking gun. That's usually enough for me to use it. Also, it's a noob-chewer in Full Auto mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 What did they patch? I remember loving that gun and thinking that the M8 was a pile of day old dung.

JsinOwl 644 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 But remember, you also thought the Sexecutioner was day-old dung. No way, the Executioner is week old dung that's been rained on and is getting moldy. If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate.

Docwagon 856 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 No way, the Executioner is week old dung that's been rained on and is getting moldy. Pffft, long barrel + speed loaders (quick mag) and your GTG. Anyway, I'm playing core. HC sucks without a team to help you get oriented when the spawns flip, etc, and who won't keep a stream of UAVs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dattebayo 446 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 No way, the Executioner is week old dung that's been rained on and is getting moldy. Dat .mold is deadly thoPffft, long barrel + speed loaders (quick mag) and your GTG.I like using it with Long Barrel and Laser Sight.2 shots usually does it the way I use it, maybe 3 if they're far away. Getting 1hks is also very attainable. Do you have it gold yet, doc? I tell ya, no other gun is as satisfying getting gold or as sexy-looking while gold as the Executioner.

JsinOwl 644 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I remember the worst part of his career was getting gold Executioner, too ;oI never used it post-buff, but I'm sure it still sucks 3-toed sloth balls. I may need to fire up the PVR because I have footage of me shooting a guy in the back of the head point-blank and getting nothing but hit markers. IIRC the follow-up shot didn't kill him either. That's not lack of skill or lag, it's just the terribly inconsistent nature of the Executioner. As a sidearm, meh, whatever, (though I think dual KAP40s are 10x better in close quaters), but trying to use it as your one and only weapon is a nightmare of frustration. I realize that it's not intended as a primary, but that doesn't change the fact that every other pistol is better at it. (IMO of course) If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you treat it like it that, it's your best friend. I even, because I'm crazy, carried a silenced Executioner with my LMG class, because silent deaths farts worked great with the caught-with-your-pants-down-in-CQC nature of Light Machine Gun classes. My road to gold Executioner was a blast...It was my primary, and it was probably the best time I had in BO2 (and I liked BO2 quite a bit). Hnnnnng, now I wish Ghosts had a shotgun pistol....
