Is it just my paranoia, or are more and more people using the USAS-12 with fresh rounds?

I played a game of conquest in operation metro the other night and it's no exaggeration to say that at least half the other side were using them. It got to the point that you couldn't even go near the stairways before the whole area erupted in explosions.

One guy had 51 stars with the damn thing!

No, it seems to be what is going on.

USAS12 + Frags with extended mags and running as support so you can continually replenish ammo. You can tell them a mile away with the tell tale "fwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwumpfwump" *boomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboom* noises.

I will admit, I alternate between M249 as support, and FAMAS/USAS12 as assault on Op Metro, but that and very occasionally Grand Bazaar are the only maps my USAS will ever come out, and even then - it's got to be once in a blue moon.

Probably too many folks watched Terry Crews in The Expendables and wanted a go.

The uFag Ass rounds are getting nerfed soon in the "mega patch". Then certain people will have to learn how to aim.

I must admit after getting usas abused enough to make me throw my controller and then finally unlocking it I have had a week of payback. Got about 300 kills now and the novelty is wearing off. Still love my pkp and with 21 stars now I'm not about to put it down anytime soon.

Also a lot of people do not realise how to properly use mav's. Yeah sure it's fun donking people on the head with it but the real points are spotting. Those surveillance ribbons rack up. And does anyone not know about mav emp usage? You fly your mav, hover the sights over another mav and lock on, press fire and pop! Bye bye mav. Really fun when you see someone using it as a lift, let the nearly get to the top to suddenly realise they are falling to an untimely suicide!

Yep or let the other side set themselves up in their favourite camping spot, then oh no their spawn points has suddenly dissapeared ha ha.

I love the usas, 2159 kills to date confirms it, I love how it reminds me of the aa12 from mw2.

I run the extended mags and frag rounds as well, although in close quarter fights I tend to commit suicide as I haven't learned not to just open fire and keep shooting till everything is rubble.... : hehe:

My best kill is a headshot on sharqi, from the construction site to the tv station against a recon.
Fire, watch bullet drop, adjust aim. Repeat till enemy dead.

Spent last night chasing people in the skid loader on wake, my mate had strapped 6 c4's to the front so it was a mobile bomb that got a helicopter and a guy running for his life. Road killing the guy who had just killed my friend was also very fun.

Agree with the mav spotting, did this to great effect on sunday, mate in mav, me in tank. Driving around taking the points with the mav acting as my over head guardian. Kept an eye out for enemy's and would scout ahead the next point for me. Very effective if done right.

I have 100 kills with the usas but to be honest I am trying to get 100 kills with all the weapons in the game and unlock everything for every vehicle, so it will be a long time before I return to using it. I also need to finish the assualt and recon class upto service star 1.

I've unlocked all guns, and current mission is to unlock everything for each gun, hence the reason why Im so crap in some games, e.g. I just have the wrong gun for the situation. Sometimes it feels like Ive brought a knife to a gunfight (well, technically I do hehe). Although if joining a buddy on Metro (I try to avoid that map if I can) then I am guilty of grabbing the Jackhammer (the USAS12 is so last year, dahlings wink), screaming BANZAI at the top of my voice and run into the middle of the enemy (sneaking down the back stairs and then up behind them on the middle side stairs is my favourite). shoot

Have unlocked everything for all vehicles except jets....fking jets.

Bloody annoying, that. I've just unlocked it, but I don't see spending the time to unlock frag rounds now as they'll get nerfed as soon as I get there. I got them for the m104 and that was hard work!

I don't really find it that much of a problem tbh...don't get killed by it more than anything else.

Yep I had a pp2000 on caspian border which was a bit dodgy especially at range. Once you have heatseekers on jets it becomes easier especially against helecopters just need to make sure you have a decent distance from them so you can get a second lock if they flare.

I play a lot on the infantry maps (Operation Metro & Grand Bazaar) and it is massively over powered on those maps. There are only 3 ways into the ticket hall for either team and just one person with it and frag rounds can lock down each entrance.

I'm a big fan of it with buckshot though, as it has its limitations as well as advantages.

It will soon wear you down.. I've got atleast 1 service stars for 50 weapons I think now and its got to the point where its too much of a ball ache.. Switching weapons every round and running in an using an sks, qbz or g17c against people who consistantly use the famas is only going to end one way.. With you dying.. A LOT

I have almost 1000 mvp ribbons out of about 2500 odd games if I remember correctly and I piss about half the time biggrin

It blows my mind how some people can be so unproductive when they play
