Finding the Worst Call of Duty 4 Class and a New Gametype

the one thing that the Skorpion has going for it is 50-20 damage, although the range is terrible. but at close range (well, very close range), it’s 2 hit kill and the only other primary non-sniping, non-shotgun guns that can claim that are the M14 and M60 both of which are less accurate and the M60 is slower. shotguns may be better at this range, but at least the Skorpion has a longer “effective” range. i’ll agree that it doesn’t have much going for it though. personally i would say Uzi is worse than Skorpion. oh and i think an ACOG Skorpion ACOG is worse than an iron sighted Skorpion.

Mid-sized map with 30 players on it maybe usual on the PC
but for the consols I think the most you can get up to is 18 with groundwar

just thought id let you kno that.

tbh i dnt really think it matter what classes are worse.. someone could still get a good score with that kit, and still thrash other people with “better” kits, its just all circumstance. Although I agree with you when you say sonic bomb is a bad choice, and eavesdrop IS useless, so yea this probabaly is statistically the worse kit, but i doesnt mean you going to loose. Im gonna go try it

Iron Lungs is clearly a much worse perk3 choice than Eavesdrop. Also, I think an M14 with Double Tap in perk 2 would be worse than a Skorpion with Sonic Boom. Sonic Boom actually has some use on a Skorpion, and the Skorp is a very nice niche gun thanks to its complete lack of recoil.

@BorisYeltsnFart
The Skorpion does have a high damage value in close quarters which is nice, but if you are that close you can practically just knife the enemy. I totally disagree with the Uzi being a worse weapon, sure it only does 30-20 damage but it has twice the range, a higher RPM and a higher capacity.

@The Shinobi
Thanks for informing me of the difference between Xbox and PC multiplayer game size. Even on the gametype you noted though I would still stick with my current class as the worst one. I totally agree on your second point, even though this is a terrible class a skilled player can still easily pwn noobs with it. The class also becomes much more playable on other gametypes, like Hardcore Search and Destroy.

I actually had Iron Lungs as my Perk 3 at first but I realized that it is still beneficial if you were able to pick up a Sniper Rifle in the course of the game. Eavesdrop on the other hand is absolutely useless in all situations. Double Tap may be a wasted perk with the M14, but even by itself the M14 is a solid weapon. I agree that the Skorpion isn’t always a terrible weapon, for example in Hardcore games it is decent gun.

Eavesdrop is handy if you’re camping upstairs in a building, as it can occasionally let you know when someone is downstairs. Very nice since you won’t have Claymores watching your back.

I feel sorry for you XBox players. The Skorpion is possibly my favourite gun on the PC version of CoD4. The range is PHENOMENAL – you can be as accurate as an M14 or even a sniper rifle at the longest possible distances. (Imagine beating snipers in long-range gun battles between the two bridges on Overgrown to see what I mean.) Also, the power that gun hs is amazing, and the iron sights are extremely accurate and easy to use! Better than the RDS I’d dare to say (but what n00b uses RDS on an SMG anyway?!)

I don’t know what game you’re playing mate, but my Skorpion does me perfectly thanks.

I dont know if you have ever tried the skorpion with a silencer but i think its glitched becuase when you have it its one of the MOST accuret guns in the game, if you dont belive me go try it out, you need the silencer once you get that zoom in use the iron sites and you will be amazed i snip with it all the time its amazing.

did you ever think that the reason most of the people say guns are junk is because they have no skill and need to use the cheapest weapons and perks to and lil bitch tactics to compete

Some guns are bound to be worse than others, and I believe in non-hardcore matches the Skorpion is that gun. I should have made it more clear in the post that this is purely my opinion, and definitely not hard fact.

You have to realize that cheap weapons and perks are part of the game, simply because one strategy has to be the best, and because it’s the best people will whine about it and call it cheap. There are some cases where a strategy is too cheap, and too overpowered and begins to hurt gameplay. Nade spam and Martyrdom are both examples of borderline overpowered strategies. The distinction between a good strategy, and a broken overpowered one is very important.

@bullet
The silencer isn’t glitched with the Skorpion, it’s just that the silencer reduces muzzle flash which makes aiming much, much easier.

yeah i guess that would account for it, i dont play anything but HC so thats probably why i have alot of luck with it i can see how it would be too weak in nonHC however but its definatly a great gun for HC

skorpion iron
m9 iron
smoke
bombsquad
sonic boom
ironlungs

One more thing to consider, the skorpoin w/ silencer has beeen banned from both CAL and TWL matches because of how much of an advantage it is

I find that I prefer to do something like this

G3 (I think it is a great gun, but in Regular Core it isn’t as effective as the M14, imo)
m9
smoke
No attachment (select GL then deselect)
doubletap (no real advantage for G3)
Iron lungs

I supposed you can swap the G3 with skorpion and double tap with Sonic Boom.

But selecting a GL and then deselecting it leaves you with no perk 1 so I would say no perk 1 is worse than Bomb Squad.

Why do you think Sonic boom is useless…

Get the W Shotgun

2 rpgs
sonic boom
and matrydom

you have sonic boom affecting 4 bombs, not a bad set for most levels, I usually average 20 kills with that set.

w1200 shotgun
flash (it is slower)
bandolier
doble tap (it doesnt work with semi shotguns)
iron lungs (haha it doesnt work either)

No sorry, I’d have to say…….
G3
M9
Smoke Grenade
Bomb Squad
Double Tap (because it does nothing for semi-autos)

No sorry, I’d have to say…….
G3
M9
Smoke Grenade
Bomb Squad
Double Tap (because it does nothing for semi-autos)

G3
M9
Smoke Grenade
Bomb Squad
Double Tap (because it does nothing for semi-autos, like the G3)
Iron Lungs (because the G3 isn’t a sniper rifle)
Oh, and sorry for the post above me, that was a mistake.

Lol “Regular Core”

SAW with Acog
G36 with Acog
USP unsilenced
smoke grenade
RPG
overkill
iron lungs
My reasons are below:

SAW with Acog (the standing recoil is obscene and it takes 4 hits to kill with no stopping power
USP unsilenced (no advantages over saw and no stealth option plus worst pistol accuracy from the hip)
G36 with Acog (dose just about everything worse then the SAW with an Acog except for hip accuracy which is made up for by the SAW higher rate of fire effectively useless)
Smoke grenade (of little use for this very unstealthy and slow class)
RPG (SAW is better for taking down choppers rpg will just make the chopper focus on you and you will die before you can get a good shot off plus i can count the number of times I’ve been killed by an RPG on one hand).
Overkill (neither off the weapons I picked are inherently bad but they are very reliant on stopping power )
Iron Lungs

I did not just pick a bunch of bad guns and slap together a class, but rather the worst combination of them leaving you no combat options where you have an advantage in terms of weaponry one with is weak and inaccurate at all ranges)

Even if you think its the worst gun (which i don’t) its not very affected by the loss of stopping power compared to saw with acog (it only takes a fraction of a second longer to kill then without stopping power for the scorp where as with the saw you must burst to counter the recoil to get the 4th shot between that the slow movement poor hip accuracy and over all accuracy i think the SAW easily takes it; again not a bad gun just very dependent on stopping power)

simply M21… sucks… only hardcore capable but if you want to put perks with it then
bomb squad(only helps with bombs}
double tap(noting to semi auto)
eavesdrop( if your a sniper you better not get close enough to use it)

One potential way of making these classes worse could be to remove perk one alltogether. Perform this by equipping a grip or tube, then equip the terrible weapon of your choice. Perk one will count as being empty and you’ll still be able to use a skorpion or whatever you prefer (or don’t prefer?).

m21 one is good it barely has any recoil so you can spam a few shots with it its especially good with ACOG

The Skorpion is beast with Stopping Power! Are you serious? I own with that gun. Free For ALL average of like 25-4. Up close, it’s like the DEagle but automatic. I pick up a longer range weapon from all the other players that choose rifles, It may have a bad range, but that just means it does the same 20 damage per bullet as all the rest of the SMG’s, only sooner. it has absolutely NO recoil and I pick off people 2000u away with bursts easier than with the MP5 or even M4 and G36c.
Some of you were close, but everyone fails… LOL
The worse combination of perks and weapon would have to be…

Any semi-auto assault rifle with iron sights (G3 or M14)
equip and unequip grenade launcher (disables the first perk)
Double Tap (doesn’t do anything for semi-auto weapons)
Iron Lungs (doesn’t work for non-sniper rifles)

If you must select the first first perk it should be special x 3 with Smoke. (this would ruin the range advantage that the rifle has)

definitely overkill with both shotguns would be the worst class

I am deeply disturbed by many of these comments…. either of the semi-auto assault rifles can be devastating with no perks whatsoever…. Im also appaled to see so many ppl with bomb squad as the worst perk.. i mean sure its not great but honestly, RPGs are worse

Worst class:
Uzi. ACOG Overall the uzi pwns utterly, but with an ACOG…. well…..
The 3rd pistol. the WW2 one. forgot the name. unsilenced.
Do the thing mentioned multiple times above to get no first perk.
2nd perk….. man tough one….. i honestly dont know. im leaning towards sonic boom but most kills would come from grenades in this class lol.
3rd perk: Eavesdrop… lol.

NOPE NOPE NOPE…….. Mp44 NO FIRST PERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sonic boom
eaverdrop
(to get no first perk you equip a gun with a grenade launcher and take it off and then you have no perk 1…)
OH I AM GOOD!!!!

YES NO FIRST PERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…..ah dang it tarma….. no fair……. #22……….

actually guys, the double tap perk does affect semi-automatic rifles; it reduces the time taken for the gun to recoil from the previous shot… so basically you are given the chance to click faster. So for those people with twitchy fingers out there, it results in a slight increase in rate of fire =)
(that is, assuming you can click so fast)

Ok Scorpion (No Attachment) Iron lungs Uav Jammer and ….. 3 stuns on a shipment

My favorite class is actually:
Scorpion Silenced
USP
Stuns
Bondo
Sleight of hand
Dead Silence….

SCORPION IS FTW
