Why are you doing those challenges? Gone are the days of titles and icons requiring them, and max proficiency doesn't require them completed. For the shotgun, try playing some hardcore, but I do agree - they suck balls.

Well, I'm not playing only to complete challenges, but on some guns, I just like to try to complete all the challenges and those 2 are just annoying as hell.

I wouldn't mind it if they balanced out the GL and undermounted shotgun to give them slightly more damage.

You lose more XP by trying to complete those than you do by finishing them. Kabob went through them all on the M4 only to find out it does nothing. I did the same thing but quit on the shotgun challenge at 20 of 40.

I totally agree. No argument there.

Like I said, I just like having everything completed on a few guns. I guess it's sort of an OCD thing. I only have done this for M41A and ACR. I definitely do not plan on doing it for every gun I use.

I agree, I have an OCD thing about it - it's a big reason why I leveled the M4 to 31 only to find out I just get a gold camo. IDGAF about that, because I lose it when I prestige. I keep titles/emblems so that's what I push for - but then again, I'm just looking to level quickly - I'm already on prestige 2. And yes, I know it's not the highest but it's still pretty darn fast.

I found it interesting how easy it was now to get the golden ammo even. Just a thousand kills and some amount of headshots I can't recall at the moment. At least that was the case for the Type 95.

Have you been doing double XP or just putting in a crazy amount of hours?

The Elite site when it was working earlier today for me said I've logged 25 hours total so far.

46 hours logged - I was off last week, so I was able to put in quite a bit of time. I also play with the AVS crowd, so there's adequate team support. If I don't have a group, I tend to play mercenary only and I can do rather decent. 22 hours of Kill Confirmed, 15 hours of Domination and 8 hours of TDM - with 1 hour of other random ones. Since I play to complete achievements, I tend to grab XP pretty fast, I've also had some double XP time. My KDR doesn't really show how well I actually play because I try and get some of the achievements - that one where you cook a grenade and kill someone else ruined me for a few games! Hah ...

Really? I felt like it had no dropping power. Like I'd empty a magazine per drop. Maybe I didn't give it a fair shake though. I just like having my shots drop someone right away before they have time to drop me 1st.

Really... I beasted on bakaara once with the mk14 at long range from a pretty decent spot. People were dropping like flies from like 2-3 shots. From the same range, when I switched to the ACR, took a bit longer to drop them. I got to my first Osprey gunner using the mk14 at range on this particular match.

At close range though. The type 95 is crazy cheese though. 1 Burst kill, but at range, I end up wasting so much ammo.

I haven't unlocked the SCAR yet (only at level 61 in 25 hours of play ) but should get it soon. Want to give that a good run also since I see so many game owning players using it.

That reminds me. Need to go raid the company soda fridge and see if they have the new boxes for the 12 packs this week.

SCAR is the 3rd unlocked AR bro, you've had it unlocked for awhile!

Well I blew my KD ratio to shit last night trying to play team games with just one buddy and we were getting owned since everyone else was random mofo's on our teams that ran around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Was embarrassing that I was even part of those matches.

I did give the ACR and even the SCAR a good amount of play last night.

I do like the ACR and will keep giving it some more play to see if I can't improve a bit more with it. After playing so much with non full autos I find myself repeatedly pressing the fire button when using the ACR which tends to lead to my death more often than not.

I had some seriously odd lag last night that made me ragequit like 3-4 games before I just turned off my 360.

My buddy and I got knocked out twice from "connection issues".

Getting pretty annoying how unstable and inconsistent this game can be at times.
