[quote name='xtreme_Zr2']HELP! I need a gun. I'm not a terrible player, I had roughly a 1.2 K/D in MW2 and a 1.0 in MW. However, I am having trouble getting close to .500 in black ops. I am not a camper, more of a run and gun, however every gun I've picked takes a good 5-6 shots to kill somebody....and they seem to kill me first.
In MW2 I loved the UMP and the RPD...all the guns so far I've tried (currently level 26), have terrible recoil. The LMGs have to be the worst. Any recommendations? I hope this isn't lag, I've never had this much frustration on anything else on xbox live.[/QUOTE]
Galil would be a good start. They all have slightly different recoil, but the Galil has the most power with the least recoil, for a while. (with a sight)
Aug and Famas are "SMG" type assault rifles, and shoot faster with more noticeable recoil, but can be devastating in the right hands. Famas in particular has nice iron sights.
For SMGs, most people like the AKs-74u with a grip. Otherwise, they're pretty comparable. MP5k would do you fine if you controlled the recoil.
I like to alternate all kinds of guns, though, (not including for contracts!). Before I got the G11 and Commando, I was using the Enfield, M14/FAL (single shots), Galil and Famas. Mostly the FAL, though, because single shots seem somehow better than MW2 in this game.
LMGs have tons of recoil with almost no way to counter it besides firing slowly (except the M60, which gets a grip). I've barely used them, myself.
