Well to be fair, in COD4 at least, the ACOG had some use for Sniper Rifles.
It has some one for
one sniper rifle,
if you used stopping power, due to a fault in the coding, yeah
. On other sniper rifles it worked worse because you can't hold breath with the ACOG.

In MW1 I used it on the G3/M16/G36C (Because I have a hard on for the G36 series), in MW2 it was the FAL/M16/M4.
I don't play competitively. But, truthfully, I don't use that or the red dot extensively because I think its a waste. But! it is nice to have the extended range it offers on some of the larger maps.
In CoD 4 the ACOG was especially terrible on the G3, btw. It gave it a much greater penalty than any other weapon, transforming it from a no-recoil weapon that you could quickly tap with into a high-recoil weapon that was almost uncontrollable, and it added high idling where ithe G3 was otherwise stable in aiming. In MW2 it's not as selective, it ruins everything roughly equally, though it doesn't add idling anymore. The point is it actually
decreases the weapon's effective range by adding recoil, which means you need to single-fire at range where you otherwise could've gone full auto with ease (or at least fired faster). Also, the metadata stats bars you see in the game lie to you: the ACOG doesn't actually increase weapon range at all. They just did that because of the higher zoom factor. ACOG doesn't alter weapon range in the stats.
Stuff like that may be justified in the BF series, it's not how the CoD series works, believe me.
1 . This is a case of user deficiency on your part, I did amazing with the G3 and its ACOG.
2 . High idling time? What the hell does this even mean? You mean how your character breaths like a human being? This isn't hard to overcome. You put the crosshair on the enemy and fire, get points.
3 . Don't imply that I use those Metadata bars, I haven't found a single game where they're accurate. They're certainly not accurate in Warrock/Bad Company, that's for god damned sure. and I wouldn't expect them to be in MW2. I personally like using Google because someone somewhere will get curious, and post the
real stats of the weapon.
Stuff like what? I think you're having a case of being spoiled, using a weapon that doesn't have it if you catch my drift. I appreciate your comments trying to tell me how MW works, but there's no "complexity" to the game. You've even admitted it, Chyros. I recall you saying they made MW2 too easy in comparison to MW1 (Which I can't argue...Why isn't the Grenade Launcher a perk D:).
There's nothing about the CoD series that is difficult in any fashion for me, I loaded into MW2 via my great friend Sideways' Steam account which he graciously lent me so I could try the game, I tinkered a little with his kits, then I made my own. And here is my favorite of all kits out of all of them, and maybe it will surprise you. I don't know.
(For the record, I switched my loadouts as much as a rich smartass does his pantaloons. I also only used the throwing knife for my gear because kills with it made me giggle.)
1 . Akimo MP5ks because I like feeling like Neo from the god damn Matrix.
Glock
Scavenger
Stopping Power
Steady Aim
(Sometimes Lightweight if the map was large)
2 . FAL that switched between ACOG or a grenade launcher (Despite how much I hate that thing, I'd be ignorant not to use it.)
Glock
Scavenger
Stopping Power
Steady Aim
3 . I'm going to be chastised for this, I know...But..M14? The auto sniper. D:...With an Acog, because I missed the one from the first game.
PP2000 because it makes me giggle when I kill people with a gun that starts with PP.
Slight of Hand
Stopping Power
Steady Aim
(Are we noticing a slight pattern here)
4 . Riot Shield for when I played with the few chums I know who owned it.
Glock
Don't recall the first
Lightweight
Marathon Man
5. AK-47 with a grenade launcher.
Revolver.
Scavenger
Stopping Power
Steady Aim
6. F2000, don't recall the attachment.
Slight of Hand
Stopping Power
Steady Aim
There were a few more, such as my M4 setup. But it's pretty much the same thing through and through...And why did I use the F2000? I love the design, and I make a point of using it in every game that has it.
Scope : I'm not kidding when I say the reason is "Why? Because fuck you that's why.". I'll use whatever caters to my play style, that, and I use certain guns because you'd get people getting angry at the game because they got killed by it. It was pretty hilarious to get that person to scream at me or talk an insane amount of shit because I hurt his e-peen.
I mean, I suppose I should really explain it to Chyros this way.
Alright, so you do AMAZING with your play style right? No ACOG. Well, for me? I do amazing when I use the stuff you guys are saying is so awful, its all who's behind the gun really. Not to toot my own horn, but I believe Chyros could do the same, he wasn't terribad at BC2 in the shooting department. Despite only having gotten the game a few hours ago.

. Should be good to be able to record games within the gameshell itself though, I've always wanted to do that. The ACOG - well, they've messed it up the same way every time now, I'm not surprised they'd do it again. Obviously the internal tester team of Treyarch is nowhere near competent enough to realise this after, what, three games? One thing that's slightly disappointing is that they seem to use the same sound for every weapon pickup animation when pulling the bolt. The sound isn't very fitting on most weapons, which is rather disappointing because unlike the reloads the pickup animations are actually quite good, and the sound kinda brings you out of the dream that you are in the game.
