Call of Duty 5: World at War Multiplayer Strategy Part 2: Weapons

The different weapon loadouts can and will vary between person to person. See this article not as definitive guide to Call of Duty 5 weapons, but as thoughts and observations from one gamer, to another. Assume that all suggestions made are with Team Death Match (TDM) and hard core mode in mind. This article is more of a “Here’s which weapons I think are the best, and here’s why” article rather than something like “These weapons are the only weapons worth using”.

I am going to break the weapons into two general categories: short-medium range and medium-long range. Most of the maps in Call of Duty 5 tend to fall into one of the two categories as well (regarding combat ranges). For example, Asylum is a short-medium range map while Seelow is almost exclusively medium-long range.

Also, here is a great chart which lays out each weapon, its damage, range, etc.
http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_Duty_5:_Multiplayer_Weapons_Chart


Short-Medium Range

Generally, fully automatic prevails over semi-automatic weapons. In small, close quarters maps, there will be a lot of movement and running around. Submachine guns have exceptional mobility, a great rate of fire (ROF), great damage, decent penetration, and decent range. Shotguns could be used, but only in very small, confined maps such as Dome or Asylum, but let’s face it, outside of 10 feet in front of you, you’re screwed. However, an SMG would still yeild greater benefits in the same scenarios with their greater range, higher ROF, ammo, etc.

Thompson – Great damage and above average penetration. Get used to the iron sights and use the drum magazine for more magazine capacity (less reloading).

MP40 – Higher minimum damage than all other SMGs (29 min damage). Lower penetration than the Thompson, but on par with the rest of the SMGs. Moderate recoil, follow up shots can be difficult, iron sights can be difficult at longer ranges. My suggestion is to use the iron sights with the drum magazine.

Type 100 – Higher magazine capacity than the Thompson (30 rounds), but less penetration. I personally don’t use the Type 100, but it is a viable option. The same suggestions for the Thompson goes for the Type 100 as well.

PPSh - Low damage, but a stupidly high rate of fire. Definitely use a drum magazine since you will need more hits to kill a person. The extra ammo will also come in handy when engaging multiple targets or clearing out rooms. I prefer this weapon in small maps because I like the high rate of fire (ROF). This can cause a favorable pshycological response from your opponent. Imagine you’re running around, then hear a PPSh go off. Suddenly your screen is read and each time you get hit your screen twitches. It’s very hectic and difficult to engage somebody who has you engaged like that. Steady aim shines with this gun and it will help you clear rooms quicker, run and gun, jump shoot, etc.



Medium-Long Range

I strongly urge you to get comfortable with a rifle of your choice, whether it be bolt action or not. You will need to long range capabilities and damage of a rifle when playing in larger maps. I’m not going to mention the bolt-action rifles because their characteristics (damage, range, ROF, etc) are similar between them all and it should be up to the player to decide which weapon he likes the best.

M1 Garand – Has the highest damage in the rifle category. Usually scores one hit kills without a scope (but with stopping power), however; reloading in the middle of a clip takes longer than usual. Add a scope for more damage, or use iron sights for quicker shots. Downsides to this weapon are the recoil (think M14 recoil in COD4), magazine capacity, and reloading time. The iron sights are exceptional, only second to the iron sights on the bolt action rifles.

M1A1 Carbine – Same damage as the SVT-40 and Gewehr-43, but with a larger, 15 round magazine. The recoil is minimal, about on par with the Gewehr-43′s recoil (or the G3 in COD4). I like this gun because of the minimal recoil which allows me to quickly turn and get a few shots off without having to wory about my follow up shots. It’s relatively easy to aim while you are shooting with this gun. Also, the damage is great; with stopping power, about half of my kills are one hit kills and the other half take two hits. The iron sights are very good and it’s not hard to get a clear picture from long range. The only gripe I have is the thickness of the rear sight, which obstructs your view when aiming. My suggestion would be to use the drum magazine and get comfy with the iron sights. The more ammo you have, the less you have to worry about reloading, engaging multiple targets, getting killed while reloading, etc.

FG-42 – Out of all the machine guns, the FG42 shines above the rest. While doing the least amount of damage out of all the machine guns, the high rate of fire, accuracy, mobility, and time to reload makes up for it. One quick burst of 2-4 rounds will kill somebody provided that they hit. The recoil on the FG-42 is very controllable unlike other machine guns such as the BAR. You’ll hardly notice your aim sway while you shoot. Mobility is not hampered as much versus the heavy machine guns either, which means that you can sprint faster for longer distances. One downside is the 20 round magazine capacity, however, reloading takes substantially less time than it does with heavy machine guns such as the Browning 1919. The iron sights on the FG-42 are exceptional and it gives you a clear view of your target. The front sight comes to a point, which makes long range aiming and shooting more accurate. I do not like the telescopic sights because they sway too much, so I opted for the iron sights.


Again, everybody has different tastes and the only way to find out what weapon suits you is to play the game! Find a weapon you’re comfortable with and stick with it. I chose to list the more common and favored weapons, but there’s no reason to say that you won’t own with a weapon that wasn’t listed.

You left out A LOT of weapons on this one.

Hands down, the best gun in the game is the STG44. It’s great for close quarter combat, medium and even long range (depending on the apeture sight vs. telescopic). There is little recoil and it packs enough punch to kill with a few shots. It can be used like a submachine gun – or like a rifle once you get good with it. It’s versatility is unmatched.

For medium to large maps, the M1 Garand and Carbine are excellent choices – especially when you unlock the apeture sight.

For small maps (dome and asylum), any submachine gun works.

I’m not a fan of the machine guns because their rate of fire is too high to accurately fire – plus you run out of ammo quickly – which leaves you vulnerable.

Unlock the STG44, equip it with a sight, and you’re good to go.

2 Eric 01.13.09 at 4:26 pm

Ahh, you got me. I totally forgot to mention the STG-44. This was one of my favorite guns because of the reasons you mentioned – low recoil and good damage. The versatility is great indeed. The only thing I don’t like about the Strumgewher is the low damage (30-20), but it makes up for it with full auto capabilities.

As for the machine guns, I think the FG-42 is an exception. If you burst instead of spray, it groups very well. Reload time on an FG-42 is no longer than it would take you to reload an STG-44. A bandolier is almost a must if you don’t want to run out of ammo.

excellent game, good weapons.

4 michael 01.21.09 at 10:28 am

Ya i totally agree with the stg-44 being the best gun in the game but what about the side arms/pistols i personally think that the revolver is the best tell me what you think

5 tom 02.09.09 at 6:00 pm

lool use r all top noobs omg got 2 use mp40 even maybe gehwer

6 josef_mengele666 02.13.09 at 8:01 am

stg is bad ass and by far my wepon of choice followed by mp40 but i only play free for all or team death match. feel free to add me on playstation live if you wish…………..skins unite!!!

7 unnamed nerdie 02.17.09 at 5:02 pm

id like to see you kill me with ure stg’s ^^

8 CORN ON THA COB 02.18.09 at 12:33 am

Okk to get kills these are the guns youre gonna wanna use:

Thompson w/ Round Drum is fairly good, but, you’re gonna wanna go with the MP40 w/ Dual Magazines, double tap, and steady aim on maps like Dome, Asylum, Courtyard and Hangar. If you can’t get kills with this gun then just stop playing COD5.

Next, the Gewehr-43 is the best rifle, put on an aperture sight, stopping power, and deep impact. The aperture sight has small recoil and the gun is basically semi-automatic so just pull fast on the trigger and they’re dead from medium – long range. Good on airfield, downfall and makin.

The STG-44 is definitely the 2nd automatic or semi automatic gun in COD5. Its nearly automatic, and has top notch accuracy. Only problem is its power. I suggest using stopping power, bandolier, and deep impact. Definitely put the aperture sight, the flash hider on this gun is HORRIBLE dont listen to what everyone says.

Machine guns, in my opinion are a waste of time. The Browning, MG42, and BAR give you low mobility and there is no use for the bipod because you cannot move and these 3 guns’ overall accuracy are horrible. However, the Type 99 is a beast long range, the iron sights are amazing. The FG42 Sights are the best in the game, along with a large rate of fire, mobility, and low recoil. If youre into heavy machine guns, try the Type 99 or FG42.

Sniper rifles, my favorite guns. The Springfield is a great sniper rifle, although it can leave you with a large amount of assists, You pretty much need a headshot with the Springfield or you’re lookin at 8 points. The Arisaka is a pure BEAST. Use, this, gun. If you get the sniper scope on this gun, put stopping power and deep impact you have a one shot snipe everytime, even if its a juggernaut noob.

The Mosin Nagnant is alright, not a good choice in my opinion. High power, bitch recoil.

The Kar98k is actually a pretty damn good sniper rifle but im not great with it. The scope is extremely accurate and the power is great.

Finally, the well known PTRS-41, or in my opinion, just call it “The Beast”. Any shot to any body part with this gun is an automatic kill. The bitch is its reload time, but if you have like 5 bullets thats 5 kills.

HORRIBLE GUNS:
PPSH-High rate of fire, HORRIBLE power. Even WITH stopping power i cant get a freaking kill with this gun.
SVT-40-some people like this gun, but its horrible. Its way too loud giving away your position. If you use the silencer youre not gonna get any kills unless you’ve got a mod controller. Dont bother with this piece of crap. Unless you get the telescopic scope. THENNNN its a monster.
BAR-It just sucks.
MG42-Huge recoil, low power, horrible hip-fire accuracy.

when playin courtyard i like to go silent and deadly. get camo and silent use the mp40 w silencer and creep up in there guts ive followed guys half way around the board before knifing them. crouch and stay low they wont know your coming. the silencer keeps you off the map every time you squeeze a round and with all the shooting going on this is an advantage. i like the stg-44 because its just easy to use and as said ive sniped people across boards with it. definately use stopping power.

10 travash 02.25.09 at 11:37 pm

note the stg 44 has the same range as the springfield.

12 monster 03.20.09 at 11:08 pm

in my opinion if u got overkill as a perk i wuold prefer for all u noobish players or players that dont know wich guns to pick. Well u guys should pick the PIRS-41 and MP40 with aperture sight not dual magazines it wastes more ammo or u can pick PIRS-41 with thompson or stg-44 or fg42. Just if u say any of those guns suck i got like 60 kills in 1 game oh and use matrydom and bouncing bettys DO NOT USE DEEPER IMPACT OR STEADY AIM.And if ur a begginer i would really recommend using the thompson or geweher43 with telescopic sight or Aperture sight And for the thompson use aperture sight or round drum

13 monster 03.20.09 at 11:10 pm

oh and check me out on the wii u might see while playing online if u play COD5 on the wii

14 monster 03.20.09 at 11:12 pm

oh yes i forgot if u see me while playiong online understand I WILL GIVE U HELL

15 monster 03.20.09 at 11:14 pm

oh yes the most suck gun in the game is probaly PPSH or kar98k because its low rate of fire

16 GaininKilla 03.25.09 at 12:42 pm

Sniper of choice for me would have to be the Mosin-Nagant, iron sights with bayonet, then ptrs when you unlock it. Sub machine gun….. ummm i dont really use them, i strive to be unique so i have banned the use of the mp40 on my ps3…. i usually use the stg44 with second chance and camoflauge, giving that the stg44 is a rifle, and its automatic stopping power isnt needed, i use the magnum in small maps and the tokarev in large ones due to its rediculusly good accuracy. i also used the dp28 when i got it, and used it all the way to when i got the stg44, that and camo, and deep impact are good, it lets you shoot through enemies too you know, not just walls. i got a 3kill streak with 2 headshots and 1 regular in a random burst shot in hanger. i also use the Gwerher in the map pack maps, nightfire and the carbine in knee deep, and shotgun in the trainmap, nobody expects people to use the shotgun, so i do. i suck with it tho. but any kill with a shotgun is as satisfying as the headshot sound.

17 Trader347 03.27.09 at 2:01 am

The only two guns i ever use are the MP40 with box mag and stopping power, and for sniping ptrs with stopping power and deeper impact. Using just these two guns( only mp40 until lvl 57) im on my 5th prestige level 65 (just enjoying lvl 65 for a while before next prestige) and i have a k/d ratio of 2.71 – 2.80 the ratio varies from time to time but usually stays in this range. If you had an MP40 against someone with a stg 44 and started firing at the same time the MP40 would win. The only advantage to the stg is that it has better accuracy, but if you get used to the MP40 you can kill people from very far away. machine guns are O.K. they just eat up ur ammo too fast even with bandolier. Rifles are my least favorite class of guns. Kar 98k is by far the best bolt action if your not sniping. the kar is 1 hit kill unless you hit a limb. Submacine guns are the best, type 100 is my second favorite auto gun, PPSH is very good although everyone else seems to hate it, it has great accuracy and if you use box magazine and bandolier you can get a kill streak of 20+ easily. Never use a shotgun its only a 1 hit kill from about 2 feet away. for close range maps an accurate submachine gun is best, i recoment PPSH unless you have good aim and can use the MP40.

Hi,

MP40 – Personally, I tried to avoid the mp40 as much as possible because it’s horribly overused but for good reason (and I use it a lot now). MP40 with a silencer/stopping power/dead silence/bettys is an insane setup for me. I found it on your tip page #1 for perks actually. I started using it the other day and my KD ratio is always around 2:1 now avg which is a lot better than my usual of 18-11 and such. I also often now can do 30-50 kill games with less than 5 deaths.

I used to use the drum but you tend to spray way more with fat clips, and double tap on the gun makes it worse in my opinion. It’s way too easy to spray the mp40 like the psh with doubletap and round drum. Just my opinion I play better with stopping power and a silencer. I can snipe long distances and the recoil is not too bad when you learn how to time your shots so the recoil isn’t a factor. I often can get 1 or 2 shot headshots with this from half a map.

As one of the guys above said, who uses this too, it’s SO easy to stalk people around without them knowing.

STG44 – My favorite rifle. Some say the silencer sucks but it hampers the range sure. It’s still good for many maps and I find it the most useful on airfield. I am really no good with the other rifles. SV is ok for a starter rifle and the M1 grand is awesome minus the low clip/reload time. It’s not worth giving up stopping power to get slight of hand. I don’t use bandoiler, but, you definitly will run out of ammo.

FG42 – The only MG I like and I always do the challenges for it. The bipod does serve a function (someone above said it doesn’t) — When you’re up in some windows, like in Makin (the major camp spot tower I’m sure you know it) you can mount it on the side window but I don’t see a point. There is a function to it though. The downfall to this of course is the crappy clip. IF this gun had the ammo of an SMG I don’t think many guns could match it. It’s so easy to kill with this gun and personally I like it, granted I don’t use it much.

Thompson – It’s okay. I don’t like the silencer for it, only the drum. I think the sights on this are much better than the mp40, but I still take the mp40 over this.

Shotgun – Trench one sucks big time. The double barrel is fun if you’re REAL close but it’s not that viable to be honest. I try to do 25 kill challenge with the double barrel in dome and that’s about the only time it’s viable and even then it’s not hard to die long before you’re in range.

PSH – In theory this is the perfect gun, right? Hold it down for 2 seconds and 1,000 bullets come out but its like they do no damage. Maybe I’m just HORRIBLE with the gun, but I can’t kill much with it. It’s like I hit them 100 times but like the guy above mentioned I too cannot kill much with it.

Lastly, since this is already long. I’ve been toying with different rifles because I suck so bad on downfall(?) and selo — the 2 tank maps, but I have a hard time using the rifle. I either miss from stupid scopes swaying or EVERYONE seems to spawn 2 foot in front of me and I can’t hit them in time. The one rifle I have consistant success with is one I picked up in a game when I was out of ammo called the Arisaka and I found it to be great. Good recoil, nice sights, and good power. I don’t like the gwher or whatever, the damage seems crappy. I think the STG-44 is much better than that one, but I don’t think the stg is good for close range, the power and fire rate is not matched by a smg which is often what you deal with upclose. Again, I suck with rifles, so I’m sure it’s not a problem for many.

The type 100 smg is also very good with silencer or without. I don’t like the sights and find it very hard to headshot with the gun compared to the mp40 or thompson… but the gun is nice and I always do the challenges for the xp on it [150 kills]

19 mer 03.29.09 at 11:41 pm

hey,

For me the ptrs-41 is great about 75% of the time, i use it on any large map and do desent to well with it. I have some HUGE problems using it agenst juggernaugt-users thouth. it actuly made me so mad using it when fighting mp-40/ juggern00b that i had to stop for a day… >.< imo snipers are your best choise for any large map, seelow and airfield are my favorit with any sniper.. i have some bad problems with all smgs, so many people use them i dont even see a point in it, if i use one im just “another N00B” with an overpowerd smg killing everyone and there grandmother before they can blink. i have actuly died before i saw any red “flash” on my screen beacuse of a silensed mp-40.

Like most of you, the stg is my fave rifle thus far ( i havent goten the carbine yet so no comment on it) but i like the scoped m1 garand over all others on HC beacuse of its low kick and ability to spit out lots of shels if i get jumped with it out moving positons. I have a tearable adicton to (trying) to no scope and quick scope, i just cant get it down at med range and it makes me mad however i usaly murder using the Kar98k or ptrs on any war mach. my fave class is with the ptrs-41, stoping power stedy aim, toker tv-33( i hate the magnum with my snipers, bad acurisy and to litle ammo)frag tabun(great for rushing with a pistol or to slow people down before i thrown in a frag)and best of all 2x sachel charges, taNK KILLING FOR THE WIN!

now i supose i should appoligise for my horible pelling the makes me look like a retatrded monkey,and my rambiling postst about close to nothing…, im bad at posting! D:

20 mer 03.29.09 at 11:43 pm

HA! i even spelled spelling wrong! sorry!

21 death 04.17.09 at 8:23 pm

(perk 1 bandoiler) (perk 2) overkill use the ppsh41 w/drum magazine and ptrs 41 perk 3 martydom

22 Sean 04.24.09 at 8:47 am

Im on my 4th prestige- my name is lilsean12
I use Pssh with stopping power, its great, it beats MP40 in range but for small maps use mp40 with dual magz and stopping power, stopping power beats double tap, thompson and type 100 are alrite, use until u got pssh.
Rifles, i use Gewehr with quicker reload, i also use svt with silencer but if u got the telescopic sight use it.
As for the M1 Garand, only good for grenade launcher (i use gewehr for launcher) and the telescopic sight.
I hardly use the machine guns.
Sniper is my fav, springfield and ptrs all i use.
Stg is good with stopping power.
i would use the magnum for core modes but for hardcore tokarev is better as its got more capacity and 1 shot 1 kill (most times with stopping power)]
What i use for Hardcore:
Gehewr/SVT/STG
Tokarev
bomb squad (need this to survive in HC S&D
sleight of hands
second chance (if ur good with pistol)
ALWAYS USE THE QUICKER RELOAD FOR TANKS -OTHERS R USELESS

For core(I only play headquarter)
Mp40/Pssh
Magnum
Rocket launcher
Stopping power
Steady aim
Quicker reload for tank

As for sniping:
Springfield/PTRS
Magnum
bouncing bettys
Sleight of hand (if hardcore, if not use stoppig power. sleight of hand is for the magnum, you can use camouflage if u know a good spot)
faster reload for tank

23 Haku003 05.03.09 at 1:52 pm

Personally, Kar-98K with out the scope is my weapon of choice. Simply one hit kills with the stoping power perk, along with martyrdon to finish off the lucky guy who ends my spree just after i get the 10 streak. No doubt sub machine guns with apature sites make them effective, machine guns high rate of fire take skill to actually have a positive KD, rifles are good but i prefer the one hit kills with the kar. pistols how could anyone disagree with the .357 magnum, gamer tag Haku003

24 Tim 05.07.09 at 6:48 pm

Hola

My favorite weapon i the game is the mp40 with dual, stopping power,deep impact i think its amazing i to use on pretty much any map if you know how to use it(recoil). On larger maps i use the kar98k with a bayonet, stopping power, steady aim. I think its great for many reason example you can kill them in one if in the torso, neck, and o course head area; if you get to close for compfort just bayonet then and your fine. The fg42 is a spectacular gun, only the 20 round clip and NO telescope sight, just use stopping power and your good to go. I use the browning for fun i massacure with it. The thompson is a fun gun i like to use it with a drnm round slight of hand and steady aim. m1a1 is a awesome rifle good rang and power so good to use with overkill. m1 grand is also good with a sniper scope for HARDCORE one shot one kill.and for my favorite sniper is the ptrs41 on core i like using it with over kill and ppsh its a smooth class. hope you like it have fun trying. (i hate the stg44 i hate the damage and rof)

25 Tim 05.07.09 at 6:49 pm

look me up on ps3 sowa222

26 varun 05.22.09 at 4:14 am

yo

i personally dnt lyk the ppsh because u cant frekin kill ne1!!!!!!!!! i find the svt 40 a really gud rifle i mean im not a hardcore player or nethin but im 1st prestige lvl 39 and stil find this gun a great one simply because i lyk the iron sights put a telescopic sight on this weapon and it wud SUCK big time but the iron sights on it are great i normally use the svt40 wit iron sights/bouncin betties(not any better perk 1 at lvl 39) /stopin power and martyrdom if im not usin the svt than its usually the stg the type 100 or the double barrelled shotgun wich btw is not so bad as some peeps say it is i mean 1 shot kills on small maps can easily get u 20 kill games mi psn id is darenite send a frend request

27 Christian 05.24.09 at 5:07 pm

Hey. whenever i use my gewehr against a stg44. i always win. idk y. so i say the gewehr is the best. add aperture stopping power and deep impact. next is the mp40. great power and rate. just use impact and stopping power theres no need for double tap and dual mags. my fav machine gun if mg42. it may be slow but it’ll kill em in any range. use stopping power and impact. then the trench gun. the d-b shotgun sucks. and finally i use the kar98k. one hit and theyre dead with stopping power.

28 jimmy 05.26.09 at 5:05 pm

the deployable MG42 is best weapon. I mean rlly, a freakin stg44, a great weapon?! Whats wrong with you ppl??

29 AuToGuN 1991 05.27.09 at 9:37 am

do not listen to monster the Kar98 is a good sniper

30 newbie 05.29.09 at 2:54 am

hey im kinda new to this whole call of duty thing. but you guys are mentioning guys plus like the backups and bombs. Can you customize this at all in mulitiplayer( not online mode). Me and the guys get together every so often and get a good 2 on 2 split screen going and im looking for an edge. Usually i just pick the ‘veteran’ and thats it. Please help, and dont laugh. Also is there any other tricks i should know of besides the basics.

31 newbie 05.29.09 at 2:56 am

Also is there any way to get the 4 additional maps without paying for the download?

32 thomas 05.29.09 at 5:58 pm

when on hardcore matches i use the FG42 w/telescopic sights, bandolier, slight of hand and steady aim.
The FG has a high rate of fire so if you miss once then you will hit the second time. bandolier and slight of hand mean you have lots of shots and slight of hand makes up for its small clip. steady aim for when you cant use the telescopic sight.
The FG’s clip size would stop people from spraying but we have slight of hand and you have a rough idea of how much ammo you have left because you used ## mags.

33 thomas 05.29.09 at 6:10 pm

remember though

the FG is awesome at hardcore but has drawbacks on normal modes because you dont bother counting clips as on normal you have that info.

on normal the FG does have some large drawbacks that other dont have.
i believe its awesome on hardcore though but that is for you to decide.

34 lozzza 06.07.09 at 4:27 am

STG44 is the weapon of choice!
i use it with a flash hider and its is great when u are camping in a certain area or you are trying to ghost an enemys position.
the range defects do not seem to have much effect either as i still pull of long range kills with ease.
The STG44 is great for maps like makin, courtyard and cliffside; and if you have a flash hider on it then you can just hang around the outskirts of the battlefield and pick people off.

35 d11289 06.10.09 at 4:57 pm

damn it man, i am somekind new, but why does anybody uses the thompson???, firstly, i used the stv 40, but in level 14 i started using the tompson with aperture, and it is awsome, i raised form 4 kills to 20 kills, i use it with stopping power, deeper penetration and the rocket launcher (great for snipers).

36 IcemanO07 06.10.09 at 6:40 pm

Okay listen up noobs.The best gun is the stg-44 with double tap and steady aim.It is litteraly a 2 shot kill weapon.

37 IcemanO07 06.10.09 at 6:40 pm

on hardcore

38 ARSLAN SULEYMANOV 06.15.09 at 9:37 am

Its game is good but multipleer….

39 wrongwaywaywilly 06.18.09 at 8:33 am

the carbine with hip fire. use it like a mp40 lol, takes a while to get the hang of it but one on one ,hipe fire the shit out of a submichine gunner. takes them out quik. lol not for a begginer.try it tho practice with juggernaut

40 wrongwaywaywilly 06.18.09 at 8:35 am

use m1 with scope in hc better then a sniper riffle

41 wrongwaywaywilly 06.18.09 at 8:36 am

mind u i like when the arms fly off the torso with that big fuka

42 gyrocycler 06.19.09 at 11:13 pm

i only play hardcore because it’s easier. i always use SGT-44 and i’m learning to quick scope.
i’ve become better but not pro.
quick scoping is easier on core with steady aim for crosshairs.
i recommend the PTRS-41 (peter’s rifle)

49 dr. awesome 06.23.09 at 5:12 pm

Stg 44 is hands down, definetly THE very best gun in world at war ever.
aside from the ppsh though. I get first w/ the stg all the time. I like the ppsh, but i haven’t unlocked it yet so I can’t judge it well.

50 hey_h0_itz_spiro 06.25.09 at 4:51 pm

for everyone who likes the stg-44…fg-42 owns it
fg is better at close range, medium is close but fg, and fg by a mile at long range
best rifle if m1a1. obvioulsy it beats gewehr (same everything but better damage n clip size). all the smgs are gud but type with silencer n stopping is the best for me. fg42 and type 99 with bayonet are the gud machine guns. springy is a gud sniper n so is ptrs. only guns that SUCK are mg42 n m1 garand. n the double barrel no attachments and sleight of hand owns. lastly the best pistols are magnum n walther (went 23-3 on search n destroy with mp40 n walther)

my user for call of duty 5 for wii is tonberry. I’m confused. I have it for the wii, and i was looking for cheats and then i found this guide. On other guides i’ve noticed that there are multiplayer maps with tanks and different vehicals. as well as different modes like capture the flag. Why doesn’t my game for the wii have such multiplayer features. Are there really maps where you can use tanks, and theres modes suchs as ctf and stuff like that or is thar all rumors.

pleaz answer my question

anyways to contribute to this guide my favorate so far im only lv 23 i think is the mp40. For me it owns it has great damage, little recoil, and good fire rate. I own especialy when it comes to short range. I don’t like the limited ammo however, as you run out quickly im mean 64 isn’t going to cover it for you. Clip size is good, but accuracy from long range suks and takes for ammo, so i cant camp out in a spot and sinpe people. good phyclogical effect when shooting this wepaon as its dispenses and good amount ammo even though slower then machine guns. Mobility is great, so i cant track people and run faster. I recomend the dual clip add on more ammo for you!!!?

52 cod42freak 06.30.09 at 11:15 am

pretty good thingy… i think the stg44 is the best. its really the mp44 tho

53 Garet1337 07.09.09 at 6:57 pm

I personaly don’t know why most people complain about the ppsh in my opinion it PWNS!!!! Dual drum, Bandoleer, Stopping Power, your choice or 3rd perks most likely steady aim? Idk how u couldn’t kill with that gun sure the damage isn’t so good but the ROF is so high that it equals out, then stopping power on top of that…. and also the dual drum bandoleer combo gives you enough bullets to last a while… sure it’s a close quarters gun and yes u r going to die ocationaly but even if u r constantly shooting u should be able to take out at least 3 people even if u suck at the game b4 u die. That’s a KD ratio of 3:1… but then again u guys r talking about Hardcore and TD, I myself usually play in headquarters cause you easily get as much if not more kills as in TD and the extra points from capping and holding. A couple last things i would like to point out, A player is only as good as his weapon > True that!!! but a weapon is only as good as the player > even more true!! And I belive we left out one of the most crucail weapons in the game…. grenades, they can turn the tide on any match.

54 bremer 64 07.10.09 at 8:37 pm

Ya for all the people saying the stg 44 is good your deffinatly wrong. Its way to weak for close combat, it cant hip fire, and its magazine is small. Mp40 kicks ass, and ya id like to see you beat meusing an stg.

55 Rahul13 07.22.09 at 6:57 am

i am a major addict of cod i certenly over use the game i have discovered so genius hacking or in other words rearranging the game data it is possible VERY possible for you to get any weapon AT ANY LEVEL this may only be to cod5 ps3 im not too sure about xbox 360 alwel their crap anyway…….. i need help of finding how to rearrange this data i know how to use it but i dont think the internet has anything on it i hope someone finds something so i can rearrange for them IF NOT DONE PROPERLY YOU COULD BREAK YOUR CONSOLE so if you find something email me OR if on ps3 ….

56 cbers3228 08.01.09 at 12:18 pm

I like the M1 garand with sniperscope, bettys ,stoping power,deep impact, for sniping. personly I like mp40 with dual magazine, double tap, deep impact for everything. I also like the type 99 w/t bayonet, stoping power, deep impact . BANDOlIER is the best perk ever. my to favorite perks are stoping power and deep impact. Overkill is good with snipers but I’m only on lv55 so I don’t have it . also if had the iron lungs perk I would use it with all snipers. I like the ppsh but don’t use it often ALSo if u have recently prestiged use the type 99 or gewher 23 they r both good with stopping power and deep impact.. if u read this add me cbers3228

57 cbers3228 08.01.09 at 12:23 pm

oh yeah add me on ps3 cbers3228 I’m on the 2nd prestige with 1.58 k/d ratio I only have 3 days of play add me!!! :)

58 IKillStuff 08.04.09 at 2:08 pm

The M1 with a sniper scope is one of the best guns I used and i’m a 7th lvl prestige. The Sttg. is ok but really needs more damage and anyone who uses shotguns is retarted cause you should have killed him before you get that freakin close in the first place! MP40, amazing, thompson drum- my best freind but use with bandolire, stoppin power and steady aim for best result. Overkills use is really bad cause most people become as good with one weapon that they don’t need 2, YOU FREAKIN NOOBS OUT THERE! The Gewher and SVT are good and the carbine is somewhat godly, but nothing compares to the MP40. Almost to good for this game and only beaten in close quarters by a PPSH if they see you first. Bayonets=suck against dogs. They DP-28 is pretty good and the Mg42 and Fg42 are freakishly powerful, like giant staplers of death. Brominig machine gun is okay, type 99 and BAR suck. PPsh is good for spray and pray but not much else. Thompson is really accurate with good power so give it a chance. PTRS……….. Do I nedd to explain? The Barret of Cod5 makes noobs piss themselves and veterens laugh with delight. Kicks ass, no comments on that fact.. iron lungs = great combo.

59 Jeff Jaeger 08.11.09 at 10:49 am

do any of you play HC search and destroy because alot of these combos are not good for hardcore and definetly not good for S and D

60 Naveen 07.23.10 at 6:58 am

i find it odd that every1 says the ppsh41 suck O_O ive had a beast experience with this 1 personally i love it with stopping power i get 10-20 kills so i dont see anything wrong with it as long as u hav a round drum with stopping power lemme know i might be able to give sum tips for u…
