    Decent article. I didn’t think there needed to be lists like 3 times. The perks should have been listed but right under the perk on the list should be the description. Otherwise we’re looking through the list once, then copied exactly plus a definition/reason for it. Just add them together. Anyways nice work.

    try a p90 with silencer
    Perk1- ur choice of style if u camp/ play S&D try claymore or 3 frags spec or non spec both are good
    “2- uav ( with a silencer undetectable good for S&D)
    -or double tap (witha p90 unbelievable)
    “3- dead silence (this makes u unheard so easier sneaking)
    – or extreme conditiong (helps alot when outflanking people)

    Last notes: when u through flash grenade it makes ur foes completly unable to fight unless they have an lmg to keep shooting lol, But stun grenades when they work on ur target it shows as a hit on ur indicator i dont think flash’s do so very helpfull if u storm in and find ur enemy waiting! but ur targets can fight back slightly more effectively unless they r facing another way LOL! try em out =] i find em much more effective as work when it hits em from behind! try em out!

    They need to nerf martyrdom as well as the N00b Tube.
    They should also allow you to control the speed of your crouch/prone… I always get capped after ghosting in front of a sniper because my head pops up too fast…..

    UAV Jammer does NOT hide you on radar when you shoot. It only hides you from UAV scans. You need a silenced weapon to be entirely undetectable.

    This article sucks. It was poorly written and a lot of the info is wrong or biased.

    Great article, thanks for the info, most stuff I already knew from expirience, but I really wish I had read this when i was new :) My most prefered “Ninja” classes are P90/Mp5 (doesnt really matter) silenced, Bandolier, UAV Jammer and Dead Silence. And no, dead silence is not “useless” at all. It is extremely effective when used right, for Eg. When flanking. Anyone who says its useless is most likely using it wrong. The perk doesnt make you invisable, so running head on at people will still get you killed rather fast. Steady aim is also rather useful, the only time I can think of that it wouldnt be is on an LMG, in which case the larger bullet spread would come in handier more often, as Jazzbran said.

    m203 is not noobish! its just like throwing a cooked nade! i dont use it though i prefer RPG. Martyrdom is really freakin’ annoying though. @ least with a perk like last stand you have to work for your kill.
    PS: good stealthy class: MP5 SD or M4SD W/ ACOG, USP .45 SD or M9SD, C4, Flashnades, special nades x3, UAV jammer, Dead silence
