Okay, I have to say it, does the world move in slow motion for this guy? How does he even get these impossible killstreaks of 5-6 people in a row without getting shot once, is everyone else playing at half the framerate or half the brainwaves?

[@ImByrdman]

[@dillonc7955]

No I do the same as this guy! I've gotten a 33 to 1 kill/death ratio on drone with the type 25 no attachments. Some kids should step away from black ops 2!

[@MrKcampoli]

Your making this response from the experience we now have with the game. This video is From about a month after the game came out. People still were getting used to the game from day 1. And Ahoy really exploits this confusion as well.

*Aight boys. 'Ere's our game plan.* How I feel when I listen to ahoy.

[@StrunDoNhor]

"The suppressed SVU is always a 2-shot-kill" Now, don't look too deeply into this, but I always got the feeling that Treyarch *really wants* to make a truly competitive shooter. Their CoD games, Black Ops 2 in particular, have always been just a bit more skill-based than (for instance) the Infinity Ward games, but they've also always had this feeling of being held back by the series' more casual nature (if that makes any sense). I just get the idea that Treyarch would do very well if they were allowed to make their own, non-CoD game (complete with a full 3-4 year development period).

[@trolledgaming56]

nope. sorry CoD is just not esport material. personally I do t think the game is skillful and relies on reactions mostly. games like csgo has skill as each weapon has their own recoil pattern and knowing it and being able to compensate is skillful. plus there's always a new cod release where as csgo is just one game that gets updated so comp players for CoD would need to be accustomed to the new release and even then a new release would come. Its your opinion but I'm just giving a logical explanation

[@trolledgaming56]

+TheTrollBox although if they did make a separate esports version of the game it could work

[@StrunDoNhor]

TheTrollBox Well I know I'm going to rustle some jimmies by saying this, but I don't think CS:GO is terribly skill-based either, but that's just a case of YMMV. (and in any case there's still more skill to it than CoD). Anyways, that's not even the point that I was making. BO2, while still too random and reactionary to be truly competitive, is _still_ nonetheless more skill-based than the other CoD games (virtue of the fact that the weapons in BO2 generally do less damage than in previous games and the fact that everything has a counter to it). The point that I was making was that Treyarch, if given the chance, could potentially make a good competitive shooter. I think it's clear that they _want to_, but for the time being they're limited to making things "competitive" in the context of CoD games. Hope that cleared things up.

[@cappuccino3444]

treyarch are very good at weapon balancing. Can't say the same about infinity ward

[@StrunDoNhor]

marmaladesnails Agreed. They've definitely had hiccups as recently as Black Ops 1, but I think they've definitely come out on top in terms of balanced gameplay, at least by CoD standards.

Today, with the help of our magnifying scope, we hope to catch a glimpse of this much misunderstood species.

[@Bl_ss_m]

[@SeleythenAbKoresh]

[@00swashbuckler28]

In mw2, they did the same kind of thing with the m14. They made it a sniper for that game, meanwhile it's just a semi auto rifle. Some may say that "It's the m21 ebr! It's different!" But no. It's the m14, with very minimal changes. Not a sniper.

[@dmrsdump3994]

Sumocat The Barrett(at least the one in mw2) isn't a sniper rifle either , since it was originally intended for anti material usage . The m21 in mw2 is not necessarily a sniper rifle either, but it is a designated marksman rifle (DMR) . Which ( if we talk intended purpose) makes it fit in to the sniper rifle category better than the Barrett.

He also makes a point of telling his viewers if a stat is potentially wrong, because he could only find conflicting info or he couldn't find a reliable source. He also injects humor into his videos with relevant movie and TV clips. Xbox Ahoy, Drift0r and Amish are all guys I watch.

[@OneTonneNoodles]

Ha! Another battle rifle in the CoD Series! Always nice to see...

[@jshenefelt]

oohhh I see what you're saying. You prefer using different guns in different situations. Well, I agree, that is a better strategy and requires skill. after all, knowing what gun to use when will probably win you more games. I commented because I have been exclusively using only sniper rifles for the last 3-4 weeks, trying to understand how and when to use...and more importantly when not to use them. They require a rather mean learning curve for unfamiliar users, and XboxAhoy nailed this one.

[@ApexCris]

Range, damage and hipfire spread is the same as B23R. Though, it has higher fire rate, and therefore higher recoil.

a hitbox is the invisible area within the character model that is what you actually hit with the "bullets" of a gun. for this gun, sometimes the "bullets" go straight through the chest, stomach, and even head its a glitch with this gun only.

[@Rascus75]

Great guide. I've been watching since the MW2 guides and I was curious, have you ever considered doing guides for Hardcore mode? I've been playing Hardcore mode almost exclusively for the past several COD games and naturally the balance of weapons, perks, and equipment is quite different. If anyone would know how to take advantage of that, it would be you.

[@AAcesup97]

This gun is under rated, on the right map it can be quite beastly.

[@rubenbakker941]

You are so good at this

[@Subzi_]

Personally, I felt that SVU-AS is the best sniper to get kills with but hardest to get gold with because it requires "One Shot One Kill". It's a trade-off imo.

[@PremierRikLatyeskov]

And Stu I understand your pun about the "dragon-derived rifle" but however the name "Dragunov" is indeed the name of the designer. As always, though, your videos are great.

[@GreenFox380]

[@Mp47Ak5]

[@NoahTub]

In hardcore, this gun owns. And since you respawn instantly in HC TDM, you can get it gold pretty easy.

[@Fritobandito858]

It's almost a placebo effect. It says that it increases damage in the stats, but only through wall penetration. You are most likely hitting the 1 shot zones more often, attributed to practice.

[@EthantheRailfanner]

If you suppressed the SUV, It will always be a 2 hit kill unless you play hardcore. My Class: ACOG [Small Range Sniping], Original Scope [Medium range sniping] Or Variable scope for Long Range sniping Fast mags Or Ballistics CPU
