Hi, I am Darkcow.

I would like to add (and for you to add) my experiances with the loved/hated mp5. If is a very good weapon for specific as well for general tasks.

PROS:

Silenced: (duh) can be used to confuse enemy to your where abouts at long range, and at med with proper cover.

accurate: It is my favorite weapon for popping heads with because of this. The burst setting is an okay"ish" setting for this weapon, altho I recommend auto or single (long range).

deadly: The power of this weapon is enormous! It has a better ROF than both and a power somewhere imbetween the AK and M4. This, coupled with its accuracy when bursting makes it a deadly punch.


CONS:

Autoshottys, if not properly dealt with at long range can hamper you ability to aim well and increase your chances of dieing. To prevent this at close range, pick the pumpshotty as your secondary and bunny your way to his demise.

snipers, ahhh! The bane of any gun can be the bullet of a well skilled sniper, to combat this, carry smoke nades or flashes. I prefer smoke because I catch my own nade alot.

bursting AK's, ok, these guys can be hard if they get the first shot on you. Because now your moving slower and your aim is ruined! to combat this, use smoke nades to confuse the enemy to your position, then reallocate to a position to flank your foe, or at least suprise him!

M4 nades, ahh! the noob laucher! To combat this deadly threat, be very unpredictable to your movements and when he DOES launch the noobism, he is vunerable, charge him without mercy.

other MP5's: to combat other mp5s you need to see how far they are away from you. If they are charging, let off a few rounds and seek cover, pull out your pumpshotty and await footsteps. If you hear none, you are either being outflanked or "walked" apon. Release a smoke on you position and seek better ground.

Please, everyone else add to this, because I am in no way a master of the mp5 and would love to hear the words of the elite few. These are justr my experiances, not the best, not the worst. Thank you.

hi,

erm no tactics i agree with you except for firepower, the M4 has best fp but bad accuracy (especially on auto). next comes the AK with better accuracy than M4. the mp5 has very good accurancy with single shots but on auto it spreads rappidly. I think the mp5 is the best gun 4 somebody who now's how to hide. the AK is more an assault rifle. i have no preference it all depends on map : mp5 on maps with grass or dark maps (col or air) AK on other (finca, raven) or just on my mood

personally I prefer the AK and the mp5 over the m4 any day, but I still find it annoying when people call it (or the USAS) a n00b cannon.  It's part of the game...deal with it..

going back to the subject, I agree the mp5 does seem a good gun for getting headshots.  It's now my fave gun, a position previously occupied by the AK74. Though there is nothing that gives me more satisfaction than sneaking up behind a sniper and slicing him..  

nOOb gun ? the m4 ? i think no gun except maybe the rocket launcher (available on some servers) is a noob gun. but what annoys me with m4 ppl is that most of the time they fire the nades first often killing themeselves at the same time or worse their own team mates.

yeah I agree there...in that case it's the guns user thats a n00b not the gun itself...the only maps I tend to use the m4 on are Raven offices and hong kong (the old one) very useful for those maps but not so good on others...the grenades good if your running with the case and come across far too many people to shoot, and by that time I'm allready half dead so a nade does the job nicely enabling me to get away..even if it doesn't kill..they had to dodge giving me time to leg it.

oh yeah and as for killing yourself with a nade...well if there is only one member of the opposing team left..and several on my team..and I run into him..I have been known to just let rip and kill myself as well as him..don't care if I died then..it was for the team  (thats my excuse anyway...)

yep that's another prob with m4 noobs since they use their 2 nades 4 the first 2 ppl they spot they have none left 4 when it's most needed (when they have bc or "should" cover u).

yeah thats probably why the guns been tagged with the 'noob' tag  
lesson no1 for all you sof2 newbies...SAVE THE GRENADES FOR LATER you might just need them!!

but umm.,,wasn't this an mp5 tactics thread..I think we got off subject...

so..err the mp5...
ummm
Yes.. /me likes

actually darkcow the mp5 is less accurate then the m4 or the ak...

actually the power is the same as the m4, so its not in between the ak and m4...

ur cons are other weapons?  nice job...lol

Quote (Apoxol) "If you discount the stealth aspect the gun can not hold up against the ak and is pretty even with the m4.  So if you use the gun like the other two you will probably die alot more.  But... If you use the stealth element of the gun to your advantage then you will do alot better.  Usually able to drop someone before they can find you." end of quote.

I ment the cons AGAINST other weapons...

It came out a bit odd...

im sorry
