FAL - Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Weapon Guide

[@AgateEditing]

The FAL is one of the few weapons in CoD history that has 3 quirks: - Holo adds 5 bonus minimal damage - Red Dot is misaligned - FAL turns Masterkey to a sniper, unlike the other Assault Rifles

[@voodoo2006]

cod mw2 multiplayer is so broken, but so fun

[@MagnumLoadedTractor]

Gotta low mw2 balancing

[@SockEater4293]

The Masterkey one is a myth, The masterkey has a ridiculously long range by default, the FAL does not effect it in any way.

[@deixos2224]

It sounds weird but when you go see how weapons files know you'll know a single misplaced number is enough

[@Foxis1080]

@@SockEater4293it does. gun weapon files for each combination of attachment are specific, and the FAL Shotgun attach file has longer range. it was probably left in by mistake

One of my favorite assault rifles in MW2. The shotgun attachment was really powerful in Hardcore because, for some reason, its range was about the same as the FAL.

I'm with Emerald here, I prefer Semi Automatics because people in general are to reliant on full automatic and they have no discipline

[@pepe_152]

[@tobos8909]

I think he was implying the FAL would just be outclassed by other rifles, with better hipfire and a faster fire rate if your trigger finger is slow

[@sargeantjames8471]

i didnt know this gun was designed near the end of WW2. well, you learn somthin every day. this gun is beast!

[@Treblaine]

The design that emerged just after WWII was in a very different form in a much lighter calibre. It changed many times from 7.92x33mm to .280 British then finally to .308/7.62x51mm over the next decade. It was a confused history of many different nation's national defence plans trying to synchronise.

[@weasle2904]

So was the M16, and the AKM

[@Sailendra49]

@@Treblaine and 7.62x39mm for the russians 7.92x33 for the germany and .280 for british and 7.62x51 for other countries and .308 is not same as 7.62x51mm nato

[@Pigpen_YT]

[@OVERWRONGTHOUSAND]

this gun is a laser. it literally has the kick of a .22

[@brandonjones2279]

I honestly was using the m21 ebr with acog until I realised that I could just replace it with the fal acog and get rod of the idle sway. Seriously though. The idle sway is the only thing making this different from the m21. Both are semi auto lasers.

[@rvbshard1]

@UnderGroundRacer19 You don't need FMJ, or the holographic - the FAL can kill with one headshot at close range if you use Stopping Power.

[@TheSpawnTrapper]

One class I always loved was the Stealth FAL. FAL w/ Silencer and Holographic Bling Pro Cold Blooded Pro Ninja Pro Nobody hears you, nobody sees you. Let that Trigger Finger rip them apart.

[@jozzieokes3422]

Very interesting setup

[@sketep1117]

This is quite literally the best gun in the campaign. It has high damage, low recoil, and is very good when spammed from the hip in close range.

[@XboxAhoy]

@MadHackerNZ The SLR is the British-manufactured variant of the FAL.

[@Dashin-Hashashin]

I always use Holographic with FAL, its always been my favorite weapon.

[@XboxAhoy]

@Aznflipstuh9469 A battle rifle fires a full-sized rifle cartridge, an assault rifle a smaller intermediate one.

[@PhuryousOne]

By far, my favorite gun in all of the CoD games. I was so good and quick with shooting it, people used to say I was using a turbo trigger in the post game lobby. It kind of made me feel special. lol

[@HankScorpio86]

Loved this gun, with Bling, SP and the Holographic Sight you could have a silent gun that has unlimited 2-shot kill range. Excellent for assaulting while being a very effective counter-sniper. Edit: Just finished the video and Ahoy said the exact same thing lol!

@AZNSLOVERICE The FAL is capable of fully automatic fire, with the exception of the British L1A1 SLR variant, which is semi-auto only.

[@WonkyTonkBotty]

The semi auto BRs are always my favourite gun. In CoD4, M14 was my favourite, in W@W, SVT40 and Garand were my favourite, and FAL is my fav in this.

[@XboxAhoy]

@sharklizard It increases the damage at range. It's 55-35 without, 55-40 with.

Some of the advantages of the FAL @XboxAhoy didn't mention: 1.The heartbeat sensor is one of few that remains in clear vision when you're ADS 2. Equipping Bling and have a Shotgun and silencer makes the the shots from the Shotgun invisible on the radar as well, though i'm not sure if that's been patched now or not... Awesome video as always man XD

[@anthonyarango9150]

The FAL is a good semi automatic weapon

[@kn1b1s95]

Finaly someone who understands what im saying, FAL with lightweight pro and slight of hand pro is extreamly good! And yes this is my favourite weapon by far! I recomend this setup: 1.FAL w/ acog (falcog) 2. PP2000 rds PERKS: Slight of hand pro Lightweight pro Ninja pro or Comando pro if you wanna have tac-knife as secondary

[@eoau]

***** I'm guessing you're talking about hardcore? A lot of guns kill in one shot in hardcore...

[@Treblaine]

aki40ff With holographic sight it does slightly more damage enough so that with stopping power it kills in two-hits at all ranges and will kill in one headshot across most sightlines. Very good.

[@Cheshire9k]

The FAL, not the G3

[@TOTALLYANDOMNESS]

The way the FAL reloads is so badass

[@iAMwReckLesss]

So glad they got rid of Stopping Power in later CoDs. Talk about a crutch perk.

ncuse of stopping power mw2 has the lowest ttk since juggernaut perk is gone iiin mw2.

[@pedroharte8593]

fuck jou

[@Nicreys]

Well it kind of balanced with Jugg in cod4 and waw. In mw2 it was a decent perk. You chose bullet damage, stealth, explosive damage, or faster mobility. So the main choices are in the red perks which made it harder to choose really.

[@hutaocleookitavoidshiki1470]

C. L. K yes aw ttk is bad because most weapons take 4-6 shot kills.

[@kingpacman_9118]

What's the difference between FN FAL and FAL?

[@VideoMask93]

+Emanuel Spencer There isn't really one. The FAL is made by a company called FN, hence "FN FAL". The FN FAL in Black Ops is an anachronistic early version of the rifle

[@kingpacman_9118]

I loved pairing this with the heartbeat sensor. Even looking down the sights, you can see basically the entire sensor screen.

[@DemonClawShadow]

The monotone and slight british undertone give all of your videoes a "guide on tape" feel, which is just right for the amazing detail and quality of your guides. the lack of intolerable music and over opinionated screaming of most youtube videos has gotten you another watcher.

[@redsawdom]

@bopcr Smg's typically used pistol cartridges or low power cartridges (9mm, 45.ACP, etc) , Assault rifles use intermediate cartridges designed for medium range and sustained fire with minimal recoil (5.56x45mm, .223, 7.62x39 are typical sizes), and Battle rifles use full-power rifle rounds (7.62x51mm, .308 are the typical sizes)

And by the way, I can't wait for your reviews of the M14 and FAL in Black Ops, I really don't know which I like better.
