AA-12




After watching someone spray all over you with one of these its a quick way to disengage yourself from the SPAS

might i recomend droping the SPAS if you are having trouble CQB with G18S and switch to m1014 OR AA-12


I prefer the SPAS as an all-purpose shotgun over the others, but the m1014 is alright.

the g18 is unstoppable from close range, and also unstoppable from long range. and apparently unstoppable at whatever range . it should be a killstreak. 25 for a tactical nuke, 30 kills for a g18 clip.

Dont ya love how people bitch and complain when other people find something that works. You start getting wtfpawned by someone who has found their niche and all of a sudden it takes no skills. the game would be boring if everyone had the same play style.


I will say g18s aren't as bad as OMA tubing.

My biggest peeve is when you shoot a n00b tube close range at the ground at an enemy and it doesnt explode.

perhaps stop running directly into g18 fire and you wont die from it

Thanks for the tip. I always thought running into bullets was the best strategy!

What he's saying is that there are strategies to beating every perk/loadout in the game. Use those and be smart and you'll be fine on the game. And I agree with him.

It isn't the same because when someone gets on top of you spamming g18s, you pretty much die. Any other weapon, you have time to react, and your survival depends on your skill.

In your scenario, you're letting "someone get on top of you" and getting killed. I, and many others, play the same games you're playing, and deal with akimbo G18s, OMA/Danger Close, etc., and we do just fine.

It's not what they're using, it's you.

I read they meant for it to be like that. If you're close range, you basically have to hit them with the grenade to get the kill, but it doesn't explode. It acts more like a baseball being shot at your face from five feet away at about 300 MPH.

I hate that two. I started using commando on my Propiper class instead of sitrep for that very reason.

All right?

It's the best shotgun on the game IMO. Love it. Also, per a tip from CW, I now use it with extended mags instead of the red dot sight, so I have 6 shells instead of 4. It may be my favorite weapon on the game.

I only play the game one way: assault rifles. I like to take it slow and that's why I absolutely hate the runners and the knifers. So, I can't really complain if I don't adapt. I just like playing with the assault rifles.

Me too. Well, assault rifles/shotguns.

I basically use one class. ACR (with RDS), M1014 (extended mags), flashbangs, claymore, Scavenger Pro, Stopping Power Pro, Ninja Pro.

The only time I change is on certain maps (like Afghan and Wasteland) I have a different class that has the same shite, except a frag instead of claymore.

we appreciate the discussion here. The g18s dont exactly make me invincible. But on close quarters combat, itd be dumb to not have my g18s equipped.

Yes, they are powerful. I use SOH/akimbo g18s mostly. Some moments do make me laugh. I have gotten good with headshots on the g18s too, the recoil jump is nice. I like their fire rate ,sound, accuracy, mag length. I bling on akimbo extended mags or FMJ if i am feelin like pissing off a lobby of those such as yourselves.


i did not know i was pissing ppl off so much using g18s. i will now use them a lot more.

Cripes...I'm only Level 20 right now. I'm so far away from the ACR it's sad. Usually I get killed switching guns when I equip a shotty. The one I have now is probably the SPAS. Not sure when I unlock the M1014. Extended mags, though...good thinking there.

You can't cover every entry point to your location unless you are camping or have competent teammates (which isn't always the case).

I do fine, too. I am just saying that those weapons are annoying and OP. I die by any other weapon, and I accept that someone bested me. If I get g18ed by some dude who is running around and randomly comes across me, or get tubed from across the map over and over, I'm going to be a little pissed about it.

i hear ya bruh

g18s are "powerful" when "in the right hands". I wont say they are OP. all weapons can be OP if being used by a good player

ppl can have success with g18s and be a noob, perhaps. But i dont see many ppl using g18s still on xbox. maybe only 1 other out of a ground war lobby i will notice is using g18s with me (Klark usually, or an enemy)

perhaps we should pretend we never had this discussion, so more ppl dont start using g18s now that they are viewed as OP and lame

aww cmon bruh now you say this... You should be expecting the mortar by now man... If people are always going to run to the same spot (A/C) 9/10 times, and that spot can be hit by mortar, and they keep dying, its their fault. not the tuber.

I agree that g18s in the hands of a good player are more deadly than when used by noobs. More power to you if that's how you like to lay down the pwn. They just annoy the shite out of me.

This kinda gets back to my original question. Maybe it IS worse on PC than consoles. I see SO MANY people running around with them, and then there's the tubes... OMG THE TUBES

That I understand. I'm talking about random tubes all over the map from multiple dudes that have some clue of what they are doing. You're just going to die randomly and there is nothing you can do about it.

I also need to mention that I play pretty much all domination so the tubers know exactly where to drop a bomb when losing points. Tubing is pretty lame in domination.

yeah man we get stuck in ground war a lot. 9 vs 9. OMA tubes galore on xbox.

quite honestly.... ive never once been "continously" pwnt by the same person rocking g18s in a game.

not by my skill or individual efforts, just because ive never encountered a person using nothing but g18s, the way i do.

our clan LESI remembers 1 guy who rocked akimbo g18s and apparently raped them. i wasnt on for that, but trust me they remember

i guess the lack of #s on xbox for g18s originally made your claim seem silly to me.

i can see how a lobby of multiple g18s on a small map could get very fricking annoying.
