BO2 Bonus: SWAT-556

[@Ahoy2]

SWAT is not a good weapon to run around with. My buddies get my tags, I cover their backs.

[@FlyingJustToFall]

"What do you put on your hamburger? I put cheese" Well, i suppose u made a cheeseburger then :b

[@dano5485]

FlyingJustToFall lol

[@Ahoy2]

There's no real reason I couldn't just upload PC content to my main channel.

[@VandalXXI]

LMAO Stu. "Wait... Switzerland have an army??" "Yes, Switzerland DO have an army!" XD

[@Ahoy2]

To avoid needless repetition. The attachment guides fill the gap.

[@jaclynanne1188]

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FHJ BONUS SO MUCH!!!!!! DAMMIT!

[@FraserCraig]

The best ACOG sight by far is the mw2 one. Loved the grid and wasn't affected by the EMP (like anyone used it :P)

For the sake of interest, the stinger is both an IR and a UV negative lock. You can reduce the IR signature, mix a bit of air and blow it through the tail rotor and it becomes far lower than the 800 celcius you'd normally get, for instance. However you can't remove the UV negative - the blue skies have a lot of UV light and so any object comes up as a shadow. You do need both to lock on or it would be looking for leaves, but it allows the IR to be significantly more sensitive making the IR signature reduction used by many modern helicopters (Commanche included) far less useful. I just found the UV negative detection incredibly cool, hopefully this shares the love clever engineering.

[@Natorism]

Talking about thermal signiture. There was a tank on a EP of Richard hammonds show. Where a tank completely removed its IR sig. from a enemys cam. :D

[@NoMoreMyFriend-S]

I was totally oblivious to the money making concept of youtube. But now since I know that it takes out revenue from you, I took off the adblock. I adore what you do! Love the behind the scenes episodes describing how you do things. I had no idea of the time requirement. And, clearly the passion that goes into....

[@SunnyBlaster]

OMG when you said "Enemy Stealth Choper Inbound" it got me chills. You should totally narrate the next Cod.

[@srausi]

your voice is so smooth and chocolaty it could put a child to sleep. keep doin your thing mate

[@dcoghlan100]

After getting diamond in assult class,the 556 was my fav weapon,it has great range,and accuracy,and took out snipers well because of the burst fire.i enjoyed every assult weapon and it was fun working out how best to use different types.Ghosts had a poor selection of weapons and to top it of, one or two in each class were only usable.they nerfed the msbs,and it became useless.The msbs is a burst fire weapon that has a slight gap between bursts,so nerfing this weapon because the pros said,was nothing short of incompetent.The pros have to play ghosts,but its no secret that they cant stand the game.

[@NomDatBass]

That's what I said two posts ago - respec wasn't needed in the previous games, including MW3, because you could get all unlocks without needing to Prestige and could freely experiment to your hearts content. This is not the case in Blops 2, as one needs to constantly lose everything and re-level up in order to respec unless they make it to Master Prestige, which requires losing everything and re-unlocking them 10 times over, which is a 400+ hour grind.

[@animator1934]

more than a decade later and hes kinda right, yt almost got dominated by tiktok but now they be copying tiktok to increase, something.. love yer vids btw.. mw2, bo1 and bo2 gun reviews.. and yer iconic arms vids.. ur vid on the mp5 made me fall in love with it.. as well as the uzi and fn fal.. idk if yer gonna find this comment but if u do.. keep doing what yer doing.. and stay safe

[@maxibillion2885]

Hearing people talk about Titanfall while it was still a secret project is strange.

[@NomDatBass]

Respec wasn't needed in previous games (including MW3) due to being able to unlock everything without prestiging. Prestiging was done entirely for either the extra class slots (a miniscule thing that doesn't stop you from running whatever setup you want) or for the prestige (pun intended) gained from people for going through with it. You also didn't need to play the game for 400+ hours to be able to experiment without risk. Grinds like that are best left to RPGs and MMOs, not FPS multiplayers.

[@BLUDSHOTPOLARIS]

I was thinking about that in CoD4 - I remember the ACOG on the G36C had very little idle sway. It was one of the few times up until Black Ops 2 where I'd go to the ACOG willingly.

[@SatoshiAR]

I thought they named it "Respawn Entertainment" to show how IW "died" and then respawned as a new entity.

[@dano5485]

"I think youtube would last at least another decade" 4 years later. KZbin has been fucked

[@sirsolidus]

Just in time for my lunch break at work! thanks Stu!

[@v0id19]

I can sympathize with the FHJ player-controlled scoresreak agony. It took me about a month of just normal play, switching to an FHJ class whenever a dragonfire or vtol got called in for the challenge. Tended to be that usually one of my teammates would destroy it before I could...

[@360GAMERtDr3aM3R80y]

That FHJ AGR challenge is driving me insane. Recently I finally found an enemy calling one in, and I was *this* close to firing my fhj after using my EMP grenade, and a sadistic sniper got me :D

[@ExorPraetor]

That was true back in the days of CoD4. Over time, we've seen more prestige bonuses like more custom class slots, new callsigns, etc.

[@TheGXDivider]

Had a Voodoo 2 as well ! Impressive card back then with HL and Quake II

[@deltasword1994]

Hey Stu, have you ever visited the Pacific Northwest? Especially true in the State of Oregon, various brews of beer, and fermented wine flow into fine crystal glasses. I suggest you try some hooch from this region. I;m sure that if you plan to do more BGX, you'd enjoy yourself thoroughly.

[@randomfactor07]

Gen Wunners is a Transformers callback, lol. Back in the 90s of the Transformers community, or even sometimes TODAY, we'd call people who passed up Beast Wars/Machines or RID/Unicron Trilogy shows Geewunners because they were slavish to the 1980's G1 cartoon.

[@Ulquiorra4163]

Years late but I have a Brit brother when it comes to burger tastes and he's one of my favorite KZbinr! 😁

[@NomDatBass]

Respec is far more useful than you realize. Once again, one cannot freely experiment without it being a massive risk due to the lack of an actual respec. If the weapon / perk / etc winds up sub-par or ill suited to one's playstyle, they're still stuck with it and end up missing out on something that might actually be useful to them. The extra classes are indeed useful, but not having them doesn't hurt one's ability to experiment with new setups or use the classes most suited to one's playstyle.

[@asboll]

max 30, livestreams can be in 60 fps, but not the recorded versions of them that can be watched later

[@mahilo3550]

I use the MTAR, but for any assault rifle/SMG class you could make a "B Flag" class like I did. Weapon with stock and MMS or Dual Band if LMG, Flak Jacket, Hard Wired, Tactical Mask, Smoke grenade and you still have 2 points left. I use it for awareness.

[@michaelpiotrovsky2682]

"But if people really want an icecream as a pet, that's fine.." LOLOLOLOL

[@Ahoy2]

Probably both I suspect.

[@jasonlast7091]

The FHJ was the first weapon that I got gold and the rocket launchers were my first diamond camo, probably the reason was because I ended up in many hacker lobbies before my first prestige and I actually got the kill, AGR kill and dragon fire kill in a single game. My KDR defiantly suffered though.

[@Rondart]

"KZbin to disappear would need a rival service to USURP." oh God, Stuart, you even made puns in the extra videos! I am humbled!

[@blucotech]

"You gently deposit your burger inbetween these cheesy buns"....LMAO!

[@PotAndPeace420]

I could listen to Stu talk for hours.

[@mallisaarnhale743]

I like how he described the burger like it was a weapon

[@Harv72b]

Re: Switzerland's army...not only do they hold a dangerous global lead in knife-mounted toothpick technology, but Swiss mercenaries were so highly regarded that they were hired on as palace guards & elite troops throughout Europe during the 15th through 19th centuries. That practice was only halted via a Constitutional amendment in Switzerland, prohibiting soldiers from serving foreign powers. There's an exemption for the Vatican, hence why the Swiss Guard still serves there today.

[@Statusinator]

I just love when you impressionate yourself.

[@CrazinessClown]

I think he means one that isnt a one hit kill in all areas, such as arms and legs. And without the splash damage effect as well.

[@TheSandvichMaker]

I had a much harder time getting the challenges unlocked on the SMAW due to just the single rocket supplied. It took what seemed like centuries to destroy the 10 player skillstreaks - easiest would be the Dragonfire but that gets shot down so quickly so often. I managed to get #10 on Studio by shooting down a Lodestar that had its flares already deployed by another player. Now I rock my Diamond RPG trolling people in Domination and Hardpoint by spamming rockets. Good times.

[@medivh1035]

lol, on PC, people get lodestar and VTOL all the time. There was one game l shot down 3 lodestars.

[@ChalupaTacoMeister]

I would love an 'Xboxahoy Cooks' series.

[@ArchaicStigma]

I found the easy way to get the gold FHJ was to stay when I was dropped into maps where we were getting stomped. I would shoot down 2-3 lodestars and it really made getting all 10 player controlled streaks easier. Also don't forget that dragonfly's count Ahoy.

[@dhvsheabdh]

It is though. The impact is the same anywhere, and then the explosive kills you, even if you're with flak jacket.

[@Icehawk_9]

You hit the nail on the head around 18:45. The PS3 sorta got screwed because game developers construct their games around the lower technology (used on the 360), and then port it over. The problem with this,of course, is that Blu Ray is much harder to code for and in turn there are plenty of games that perform better on the 360's inferior tech.

[@Ramon22282]

Hey Stu, about the making reviews more interesting thing, that's also how I feel about you and weapon guides :P.

[@Sucy1776]

Stu, you're a man of excellent taste.

[@NomDatBass]

No, the main reason to respec in Blops 2 is that you have a hard limit on how much you can unlock for at least the first 400+ hours of gameplay. If you get try something new and don't like it, your only option is to accept that you wasted your tokens on unwanted items or Prestige, which makes you lose everything and spend another 30+ hours just to get back to where you were. A proper respec would let people actually try new things, without having to worry about it biting them in the ass.

[@1397dogs]

On the anti-air class I just forfeited the weapon attachments for tactician so I could carry both an EMP and blackhat.

[@bigbenj669]

Finvpo the foregrip does have use its just minuscule. It steadies your aim when you burst fire. I use it all the time, I know this.

[@TUSKcobra]

Thank you Stu for letting me have an IceCream come as a pet

[@canucksforever123]

I'm proud to say the FHJ 18AA was my first gold "gun." I also have four kills with it.

[@Danstraightedge]

When you said Hard Wired towards the end Stu your proper Manc accent snuck out. :D

[@MrNeonCatz]

Xbox actually about the FHJ kill you dont need to shoot a ground strak you have to shoot a rocket at a flare killstreak and hope to god that it lands on the random place on the map that someone is standing.

[@leaderofthepatriots]

The only gun I think grip is worth it is the SCAR-H. You can tell the difference in recoil when going for mid to long range kills with grip and without grip. Since the SCAR-H has impressive range, imo, it is worth using a point on the grip.

[@JacobH93]

I know the acog has been useless, and that it isnt now. The problem I have with it is the increased level of zoom. Not that thats bad, just that, generally, the increased zoom isnt that useful on the small maps. And just personally, I would either run a sniper or an lmg with variable zoom if I was going for a long range role. But then again, thats just me.

[@ClintEllis]

I'm about the same with cheeseburgers but recently I've gotten a bit tired of ketchup, been using barbecue sauce.

[@TheScottishMutt]

SWAT-556. "5-5-6" Three numbers. HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.

[@Sunny2456-]

actually you should try out acog with quickdraw and/or dexterity....that allows you to snap onto targets super fast, and I personally find that you can use acog on big and small maps (I've done quite well with the acog on maps like hijacked)

[@jpsluckhaus]

"I think the ice cream one is a bit stupid, but if people want an ice cream as a pet thats fine." Haha lol

[@FreedmAngl]

he's said before that he got contracted by activision so he couldn't, however since he's not working with them anymore it could be a real possiblity, guess it all boils down to whats more popular

[@TheMauso88]

FAL ACOG/suppressor with cold blooded is quite good for anti sniper classes.

[@AwkwrdPrtMskrt]

That one FHJ kill remains one by now...

[@JacobH93]

Yeah, I understand that it can be used effectively, its just a personal preference. And I have used it. Its not bad, just not my thing. It feels a bit obstructive and I generally prefer lower zoom levels. But thats just me

[@PowloD]

It isn't select fire, if you pull the trigger quick enough you can make it fire faster than full auto

[@LucidLivingYT]

And with the anti radar setup, use black hat as it easily kills enemy uav's and cuav's

[@NomDatBass]

Actually, my main problem with Blops 2's prestige modes is the whole "can't unlock all perks / weapons / etc in one run" thing. Without an actual respec option, it becomes very risky / discouraging to try new setups as you could end up wasting numerous points on things you end up not liking and being forced to grind through 55 more levels to unlock everything all over again just so you can get something else instead. It just flat-out punishes experimentation, which I just can't get behind.

[@DHawk-wo4yn]

He has to play like that with this gun to do well. Camping with the SWAT is the best thing to do.

[@NCtelli113]

the acog is great on the M27 with stock and quickdraw

[@DPMAN206]

Stu, I had a hard time getting the FHJ gold as well; i basically got it gold from just playing Nuketown 2025 because for whatever reason, people get a bunch of dragonfires on that map!

[@BeefIngot]

maybe the bolt shoots much faster because it isn't weighted down with the explosive warhead

[@championman3]

What an achievement. Your parents must be very proud of you.

[@AarkonD]

hardwired should have a scrambler effect for a small area around you

[@RandomDude655]

Stu, have you ever thought about weapon guides on the War Machine or the Death Machine?

[@brandondowell3215]

Stu, In the original Black Ops weapon guides you were talking about all the attachments and how they effect the weapon, why haven't you been doing that in the Black Ops 2 series?

[@haydenobrien3888]

Tyranitar is a gen 2 pokemon, the final evolutionary stage of Larvitar.

[@InfraredBeast]

It took me about a month to get the FHJ gold. Player controlled killstreaks took the longest.

[@vekaria12345]

hmm now im thinking if i should start playing COD again havent played since January

[@noathecrip]

I usually play ground war to finish the A.G.R and dragonfire challenges. And the rockets look really good in diamond, I got them!

[@vomitcomet]

Stu, will you do a LP of Fez? I saw you had the Polytron logo as your gamer picture.

[@dhvsheabdh]

They do. The impact does enough.

[@Arkem4]

Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling with player-controlled streaks with the FHJ. Only 6/10...

[@stelvak]

I believe you're confusing bacon with peanut butter, my friend.

[@badmab444]

I love how you got EMPed like 5 times while talking about hardwired.

[@mahilo3550]

BTW your SWAT with the ACOG, Kryptek camo and the Half Life emblem is very sexy.

[@OJANproject]

My favourite font is Elephant and I use Univers for small print

[@MadMasterNeil]

Voodoo 2 was my first 3Dfx Graphics card :)

[@angusyoung4418]

That needs to be in an ERB video!!!

[@CatGyp]

They should make it that the non-explosive bolts don't make you appear on the mini-map. Then you could be a ninja arrow assassin.

[@randomdude32]

It would be sweet if you suggested good scorestreaks to use with each gun!

[@vulsil9939]

I was munching a burger while watching this! Made me cry when you said toasted buns, It's a useless perk anyway! The video is worth the 30 mins to watch lads.

[@hoppelake]

In a podcast a guy from switserland was asked what would have happend if they where invaded in WW2, he said that everybody came out their houses whith their rifles, shoot twice and grab another beer

[@VictorAdameArt]

Oh, and in terms of comics sans, for making comics there are many many fonts available for download like crimefighter, fanboy hardcore, Anime ace, Digitastrip and so forth, If you are into comics or just some internet humor I encourage you to download them and get rid of the horrid comic sans.

[@iVitaminAcid]

if you do a HL revisit, you should play Black Mesa about the Player controlled killstreaks too, you can put on a carepackage and let the other team get them

[@derpsquid7877]

I love hard wired I use it in most of my classes

[@OneBun]

I got a kill with the FHJ when I locked on to a stealth chopper and it deployed flares, a second or two later I saw that it killed someone in the feed

[@SLGS-productions]

he does them in order. he said many times that he'll get to it but it will be one of the last ones

[@keith007007007]

the dragonfires dont count toward the camo challenge. only things i get to count toward the FHJ camo is the VTOL and LodeStar.
