Calling all G3 Fans!!

[b` m3ow]

Talk about your G3 and your perks/scopes you use !! ;)

Talk about your ownage with it !! ;)

Talk about what ever !! ;)

This is for the G3 Fans!! NOT HATEERS!! :D

We need a G3 topic, cuz the G3 is the best.. we all know it :laugh:

[The_Eliminator]

Well i have a wide range of classes that due to the limited saves i have to switch around, its a great gun and pin point accurate although i have not used it in a long time because i was getting the SMG challenges.

G3 Assault:
G3 + Silencer
x3 Flash
Stopping Power
Deep Impact

G3 Stealth:
G3 + Silencer
Bandolier
UAV Jammer
Deadly Silendce
x1 Flash

I loved it in BF2 and was a complete Baur whore in BF2142 so this gun, despite the fire mode is my weapon of choice as an assault rifle, maybe other than the sexy G36C.

[b` m3ow]

Nice setup, I still can't use the silencer for that thing... Kicks to much for me.. Red Dot xD!

[The_Eliminator]

i think if you have an iron sight its worth getting used to it at the advantage of having the silencer.

So im still getting used to the iron sight, but tbh, its rare you need to shoot more than 2 shots with the G3 so it doesnt kick so much before the target is out of view, unlike the M14.

[Yukiism]

My setup:

G3 + Red Dot
Stun x3
Stopping Power
Martyrdom

And got this with it :D
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/JustEpox/probleem-3.jpg

Not my best, of course. But that was sure a lovely round with some nice teamwork
( I love Sabotage for that )

[CptainCrunch]

I love the G3 for its dead on accuracy. You can practically snipe with it. If they would put it in the sniper area of weapons, I would probably use it over the others. :D

Crunch

[=MNKY=Frosty]

The G3 is immense!

G3 + Red Dot Scope
Gold Deagle
Bandoiler
Stopping Power
Extreme Conditioning/Dead Silence

The accuracy actually makes me wet myself.

[Cantina_Fly]

I only really use it in HC mode. Where I use:

G3 w/ Silencer
Claymores
Double Tap
Steady Aim

Single shot accuracy when you need it, and scroll the mouse wheel for M16 like short bursts at close range. (I have mouse wheel up/down bound to fire in addition to left mouse.)

In non-HC games, I use it sparingly (mostly on Overgrown and Pipeline.)

G3 w/ Red Dot
3x Frag
Stopping Power
Steady Aim

[Yukiism]

Umm...why Double Tap on a gun that is single fire? You still have to click to fire the gun, so Double Tap is really useless.

If you have fire to your mouse wheels you can do perfectly without Double Tap too.

[Ozendorph]

I've only really been using the G3 for a few days now, but it is a surprisingly good gun. Accurate, quiet, with plenty of punch. My HC setup:

G3 with Red Dot
Suppressed MP5
3x Stun
Overkill
Steady Aim

It's a bit of a goofy setup, but I'm finding ways to be successful with it. I run&gun and grab objectives with the MP5 and switch to the G3 when I establish a good firing position while defending an objective.

[Sanjurjo]

In fact... the G3 we have is more like an G3/SG1, a sharpshooter variant, very similar to this one, with bipod, etc. That's why it's semiauto only. A "true" G3 would be more like the BF2 one, full auto. That's why we can almost snipe with it... its very deadly... i like it. Today i've got the 75 kill challenge with it.
I use it as a "countersniper" weapon, it's useful also on that role.
My loadout is, as of now:
G3+red dot
Bandollier
Double tap
Deep impact
I dunno, the double tap does the semiauto fire faster? i thought the normal g3fired "slow", and with DT it fires a little faster, less lapse between shots.

[b` m3ow]

Double Tab works with Auto Guns, not Semi-Auto.. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please ;)

My load:
G3+Red Dot
USP
Bandolier
Stopping Power (maybe UAV)
Deep Impact

[Kylee!]

Lmao, double tap does nothing on single shot weapons...

They fire as fast as you can click anyway...

[solofowaffles]

my g3 slot
g3 w/ red dot
claymores(i play hq)
sleight of hand
last stand

[AceRimmer]

The G3 is so accurate im puzzled why people use the red dot scope with it. i preffer either silencer(for stealth) or nade launcher(to get me out of tight spots)

[Sanjurjo]

mmm... then i will take out the DT on the G3, and add a more useful perk... i thought it fired faster... actually it's me that fires faster... :p

[Cantina_Fly]

In regard to Double Tap with semi-auto weapons, I don't have any way to prove it really, but both in testing and regular play, I can empty the clip a lot faster with double tap. It could be purely psychological. It could also be there is a limit on how often the game will accept input. In other words clicking beyond a certain rate doesn't fire bullets any faster. Double Tap would then raise that limit.

I'm thinking they have something like this built in, or the script kiddies would just make a macro that sends mouse clicks at 15 clicks/second and you'd get an effective rate of fire or 950RPM. The same as the P90. :eek:

[=MNKY=Frosty]

Yeah DT only effects Automatic guns and the M16.

[m_d]

The G3 is so accurate im puzzled why people use the red dot scope with it.

When you fire at long range targets with the iron sight, the recoil will put them out of sight for a short time, best noticable with the M14.
Your second shot will take longer, because you have to find and re-target them.

Reflex sight makes your subsequent shots a lot easier, because you are aware of the target and everything around it.

On real guns it's also more accurate and faster than iron sight, but I think in CoD they're the same.

[Spik3d]

This is my main load out for hardcore servers with few people.

G3 - Silencer
USP .45 Silenced
Claymores
UAV Jammer
Steady Aim
Frag/Stun

With depth of field off, I've got no beef with the iron sights.

[blank1]

M16 > G3

I said it.

[Spik3d]

M16 > G3

I said it.

If you're wreckless and don't aim for the torso/head, sure. ;)

[AceRimmer]

Aim for the head :)

[FPS[VT_NERD]]

I just got this gun yesterday and used it for the first time today. I really liked it a lot but I didn't do very well in CQC.

I plan to keep using it, but I have to alter my play style to stay a little bit away from the action personally. I'm just not fast enough to Rambo around with it.

[Battl3fr0nt]

Well I gave the G3 another try and I like it most of the time.. It is not my fav weapon (the RPD is prolly my fav) but the G3 with 3x Frag / Stopping power and Steady Aim is working out pretty well for me.. I found that Steady aim is a must with all gun's now.. just like Stopping power is.. I just wish I could pick other perk's since Stopping power and Steady aim is a must.. there should be more to pick from..

Update:

I now really love the G3 for all of the map's with open area's.. I like it because it it really work's good as an all around weapon.. in CQC I can take people down with Steady aim and Stopping power.. and work's very good at taking down sniper's.. I have been using it alot and it is prolly the best AR in the game if you get good with it.. alot of people don't like it cuz you can't spray but once you learn to tap, the gun become's you're best friend..

[Yukiism]

Steady Aim is not really a must on the G3. Because when i use it, i always use my Red Dot sights.

Also in CQC the G3 can be a beast, with my Stun x3 i can just stun them and shoot them in the face. Or knife them, of course... :D

[The_Eliminator]

IMO, there is really no need for stopping power on the G3, its powerful enough.

[Sanjurjo]

I've just tested the G3 w/out double tap... true... the first time i used it i fired "slower"... and now i fire it faster... and at the same rate as with DT perk... so yes, i've ditched it and added to my Mp5 class... and added a more useful one.

[Sars99]

i have a few set ups

Rifleman
G3 w/ Red Dot
USP
Bandolier
Juggernaut
Steady Aim

Stealth
G3 w/ Silencer
USP w/ Silencer
claymores
UAV jammer
Extreme conditioning

get some very tasty rounds with it, dont yet have the M14 so i cant compare, and i'm going to test it out with the ACOG again soon to see if it's any good

[blank1]

If you're wreckless and don't aim for the torso/head, sure. ;)

Wreckless? Oh, I beg to differ. The M16 kills with one burst to to the torso (Not to mention the head lol) with stopping power. The G3 with stopping power still takes two shots to the torso, or head. The G3's single shot comes out faster than the M16's burst, yes. But if your aim is refined, the M16 achieves one burst, one kill. The M16 is the professional's choice.

Yeah, I said it.

M16 ftw \o/

[Sanjurjo]

More or less... i agree with the M16... that thing is very accurate...
Today i've tested the "silent G3" config... not bad... not bad at all

G3+Silencer
USP+Silencer
Bandollier
Uav Jammer
Deep Impact

Not bad combo, i liked it. :)

[LasermanX]

G3 + Double Tap + Deeper Bullet Impact = teh pwn

[Sugarbear(SID)]

Double Tap only affects Automatic weapons? WRONGO

Double tap fires two bullets instead of one on every gun, including the G3 and the M14, just watch your bullet indicator, pull the trigger once, two bullets come out.

[Ozendorph]

That's interesting stuff right there. A burst-firing G3 would be hot. Trying that out in a couple hours.

You didn't even retort to what I said. The only relevant thing was, "Wreckless?" The rest was about the damage from an M16 and an M16's ROF. The G3 can get that second round down quicker than you can get that second burst down. And with each shot from the M16, you get recoil, so you'd have to sight your target again, while the G3 doesn't have to.

And with each shot from the M16, you get recoil, so you'd have to sight your target again, while the G3 doesn't have to.

You said the M16 is a reckless weapon. I said no, because it actually requires more precision than the G3, which I alluded to by saying it's one burst for one kill, and the bursts come out slower than the G3's single fire. There's less of a "grace" to miss with the M16 because of this -- precision required.

The G3 gets its second shot down fast than an M16 can get its second burst down, this is true. The issue is, the M16 doesn't need a second burst. It needs one burst to kill. Count'em, one. Not two, not three. One. The G3, stopping power included, takes a minimum of two shots to either the torso or head, and if you hit a shoulder, arm or leg, oh well. The M16 can hit an arm/leg shot and two torso shots in a single burst and still score a kill in one click.

M16 ftw.

\o/

[Cantina_Fly]

So I was trying out the G3 again in detail. I had two identical classes setup:

G3 w/ Silencer
Bandoleer
Double Tap/Stopping Power
Steady Aim

With Double Tap, each single pull of the trigger was only one shot. Using the mouse scroll wheel to rapid fire requires a finesse touch it seems as once I got dialed in, I was yielding consistent ROF's with and without Double Tap.

I switched out to my pistol to get a second opinion and found the same thing. The game still does seem to have a hard coded ROF cap, as scrolling my mouse wheel beyond a certain speed didn't reap any higher ROF. It slowed me down actually, as I had to pause briefly to start rolling my finger back the other way.

So I'd like to reverse my early statement and recommend against taking Double Tap with the G3. I'd probably have found this sooner if I used the weapon more often. I don't even have the 150 kills for the ACOG yet as I only really use it in HC.

[solofowaffles]

Yup i can confirm it to,double tap does nothing for your single fire weapons,tried it earlier today on the g3.

[imported_Tren]

My classes

G3 Assault:

G3 w/ Silencer
Desert Eagle

Stopping Power
Last Stand

G3 Sniper:

G3 w/ ACOG
Silenced pistol
Claymore x2
UAV Jammer
Steady AIM

[solofowaffles]

i find the g3 with acog worse than the red dot,the zoom offered by the acog is minimal and narrows your pov.

[Battl3fr0nt]

G3 + Double Tap + Deeper Bullet Impact = teh pwn

how much more round's does it take to kill someone when you don't use stopping power for the head and chest?

[HTE1]

i find the g3 with acog worse than the red dot,the zoom offered by the acog is minimal and narrows your pov.

and the ACOG takes too long to scope after right clicking.

[FPS[SONIC]]

I like the iron sights and use a silencer.

[Battl3fr0nt]

I really would like to now how much more round's it take's to kill with out stopping power.. and now much it take with stopping power with all gun's if you shoot in the chest.. seem's like 3 round's but on some it take's 4.. I would think it should be 2 with stopping power.. anyone know fo sho?

[(BG)Patton]

ok i would like to tell all you idiots that double tap does JACK SH!T to the fire rate or bullets fired on the G3. if you want the g3 to be full auto, just go to controls and change your "fire weapon" to scroll up and down. holy f that thing is a beast with that, and now you can have knife on left click for some more fun. believe me, i got blue tiger in one day with scroll G3. as soon as you see someone, set the sights on the stomach and scroll away powpowpowpowpow. head shot

p.s. you MUST use bandolier because you go through bullets like nothing else

p.p.s? scrolling is horrible for the M14 because of huge recoil.

Well most of us know that it double tap does nothing... and I have tryed the scroll but I would rather not use it.. I feel I can tap just as fast imo.. and I can control it better.. I must say the G3 is my fav gun to use now.. I can do better with my RPD setup, but I think it is more fun using the G3.. I am still trying to figer out if I want to make another G3 for a stealth setup or just use the AK with UAV Jammer and Silencer.. I will have to try it out some more and I will get back on it..

[imported_Infiltrator]

I like the G3 but it's not my fav, it is certainly one hell of a medium-long range weapon but when I get in those close encounters I'd rather have an SMG.. it depends on the map I guess. It's harder to use on, say, Vacant, but so is an SMG on Overgrown.

[Cantina_Fly]

That's the main reason I like it. It's balanced. It forces you to think about where you go and what kind of situations you put yourself in. Been using it more and more the last couple days and I've found myself whipping out the Deagle if I have to go inside a building.

If there was a gun that was good at all ranges, we'd all use it and we'd be playing 2142 again (I'm looking at you Voss :shakehead)

[The_Eliminator]

I think the G3 is the best all around gun, the only thing i dont like is its huge deviation while moving, which i guess is for balance.

[Sugarbear(SID)]

I really hate to keep brining it up, but Double tap works on single fire weapons.

I don't have any idea why anyone would think it doesn't, the perk isn't go through ammo twice as fast, the perk is pull the trigger once, fire two bullets. Works on single fire weapons just as well, all you have to do is pull the trigger once, and two bullets are missing, you don't have to be a genius to know what's going on.

your on crack,it doesnt work.

[FPS[SONIC]]

The Perk is not "fire two bullets" but "increase rate of fire" which I believe we all agree is 2X. That means it fires two rounds in the same time it normally fires one round.

[blank1]

I think it'd be awesome if double tap made the single fire weapons (besides bolt action snipers, obviously) fire two shots.

It doesn't work with Single fire weapons, I did test with the G3 and M14. They don't fire 2 rounds. Only 1.

in this situation overkill is your friend

i've had a class before with a G3 (red-dot) and an M1014 (red-dot) with steady aim and bandolier

absolutly ripped the server wide open, you've got goo long range capabilities and then a nasty sting in CQC

[The_Eliminator]

im having problems with the G3 in the fact that when i run and gun i cant judge where the bullet is going in the fact that the deviation is so huge, much like the M14.

Where is its sweat spot?

[FPS[SONIC]]

I run, stop and shoot, then run again. This fixes the deviation problem. It's like with the pistol, you want to stop strafing and decide to pick a target and just shoot it.

That is why you need to use the right set up.. I can take out sniper's and I can take out SMG's you need to use Steady Aim on all weapon's.. and on the G3 it will take out P90's like nothing..

[The_Eliminator]

Steady aim effects firing from the hip, meaning crouched only?

Steady aim effects firing from the hip, meaning crouched only?

You're close Eliminator. Steady Aim effects firing while not looking down the sight. It makes the reticle tighter and increases firing accuracy. It is the effective way to run-n-gun with the M14 and G3 because you don't have to aim down the sight to start getting lead on-target.

It makes those semi-autos able to take on SMGs in close quarters.

[The_Eliminator]

Now thats good news, i neglected steady aim because i thought it was firing from a crouched position whihc i only do when im scoping anyway.

This will make my G3 days easier.

How much tighter does it make the crosshair?

[Cantina_Fly]

Steady Aim is in most of my kits. If you want a good example, use the P90 with and without Steady Aim. Don't use your iron sights in the test at all. The difference in accuracy is noticeable.

[FPS[SONIC]]

Now thats good news, i neglected steady aim because i thought it was firing from a crouched position whihc i only do when im scoping anyway.

How much tighter does it make the crosshair?

It does make a difference I can feel. But, it's not a big deal.

Steady Aim did make it so that a M21 performed more like a M14. I often use Extreme Conditioning because I like to flank, so I change up between the 2 depending on mood.

I'd say it makes it about 15-20% tighter. Also, Steady Aim throws in those crazy headshots...:dead:

[The_Eliminator]

Well i used steady aim on my G3 and M14 earlier and i feel it has made a huge difference, and i get crazy headshots hehe

Who here uses steady aim as a must for their G3 or M14?

[sfcthebam]

Played with the g3 last night using perk Overkill to have a close in shooter...

Gotta say without stopping power, was so so.

Prefer my m16 kit for the kind of shooting I do at the ranges i'd like to use the g3. M16 / claymores/ stopping power and deep impact ftw.

[Battl3fr0nt]

You're close Eliminator. Steady Aim effects firing while not looking down the sight. It makes the reticle tighter and increases firing accuracy. It is the effective way to run-n-gun with the M14 and G3 because you don't have to aim down the sight to start getting lead on-target.

It makes those semi-autos able to take on SMGs in close quarters.

Yep... It still is not as "good" as an SMG for say, but I really think with steady aim I do about 50% better when I run into someone with a P90 or MP5..

[The_Eliminator]

Im still finding it abit of let down when on the move trying to hit someone, it just seems as though the bullets are VERY inaccurate when on the move.

[imported_Infiltrator]

They are, if they were as accurate, with that stopping power, the weapon would be too good :)

[The_Eliminator]

i just find that i could be moving with the crosshair over someone and the bullet would fire outside the crosshair.

[Sanjurjo]

Definatelly the G3 is a good weapon.

i had a "silenced" config.

G3+silencer
USP-45+silencer
Bandollier
UAV Jammer
Deep Impact

With this i had the three "Sigil" challenges, today the third one and the 25 headshot for it, now it has nice digi-camo.
Definatelly is a nice gun for mid to long range, with Silencer, it's very deadly, and with red dot sight, is very useful too. But when i'll be able to get the ACOG for it i'm gonna use it like an sniper rifle for shure on one of my Overkill combos.
I love the G3. :D

[FPS[SONIC]]

The solution is easy, stop strafing and fire... Then move again.

Rifles have a generous deviation penalty while moving. If you want to shot and move a better choice would be SMG or shottie.

I got the ACOG sight over the weekend and used it most of one evening. If you're using the G3 as a poor man's sniper rifle, then it's real nice. As an assault rifle, you're better off with the red dot or silencer IMO.

[Battl3fr0nt]

I find it very easy just shoot ahead of them about 1 foot if they are running and they will go down.. I just hate the headshot bug.. I have gotten so much more HS then it say's I have...

[The_Eliminator]

All this is down to pixel collision :(

All this is down to pixel collision :(

Yep.... but it is not to bad cuz in rl you wanna lead when someone is running but about the headshot's.. I really hope 1.4 will fix it..

[The_Eliminator]

yea you do want to lead someone if your at distance, but atm you could be standing shoulder to shoulder and still need to be shooting a foot infront of where they are moving too.

[Kylee!]

Yes leading your target does the job... Especially with the G3, M14, and the snipers.

[Battl3fr0nt]

I am still all about the G3 but I used my RPD agian today and it was just ripping people apart.. I really love both the G3 and the RPD alot.. just have been trying to get headshots with the G3 and it is not working out to well any tip's on that?

[The_Eliminator]

i dunno why, but ever sicne i unlocked the gold Uzi getting all the headshots for the SMG's i seem to have adapted and instantly go for headshots now, and most of the time succeed, i wish i could give you tips, but i dont know how and why i do it.

ATM, my favourite guns are AK47 + Acog and the M14 + Acog, they seem to be doing a nice little job and the AK tears people apart even at range :D

[FPS[SONIC]]

Headshots come unexpectedly with Steady Aim... =)

[Battl3fr0nt]

Yeah... I have been using my M16 agian with the same setup as with my G3 and I must say they are very close dmg wise.. I am really having alot of run with my M16... But about the HS with it.. it is the same as the G3 it is broken..

[Yukiism]

When i run into a server running Hardcore mode i get my G3 kit!

My G3 is a one shot, one kill weapon there :D

I have to say, I had a hard time adapting to the G3. I finally got it down on Bog . Started out only 3 (2v1 - i was one of the 2). A few more joined so it was like a total of 10. OMG that thing owns once you get it down. Especially in short- to medium-range.

[b` m3ow]

A nice trick some of my clan mates are using, is your "scroll up" is your fire.. It increases your ROF (rate of fire) by a good bit. One of my buddies fires that thing like a Auto.. Yet its a G3 :)

Try that xD

[Cantina_Fly]

Yep, I started a thread about this a little way back and people were either using this technique and loving it, or for one reason or another, it made it harder for them to aim. With the pistols, it's viscous. You can empty the Deagle's clip in seconds.

A nice trick some of my clan mates are using, is your "scroll up" is your fire.. It increases your ROF (rate of fire) by a good bit. One of my buddies fires that thing like a Auto.. Yet its a G3 :)

Try that xD

I was doing the scroll up for a bit but I found I am much better just clicking... even in CQC... But yeah once you get the G3 down it is the best AR in the game... but sometime's the M16 is fun to... depend's on the map but that is when you get down to very detial spec's of how you play..

[Spik3d]

The G3 is unstoppable once you get firing with the mouse wheel down. I've been working on it today and I think I've almost perfected it.

[Micster]

I've recently unlocked the Silencer for the G3 and I find that I'm much happier with that setup. Looking forward to getting the ACOG for it, bet it's awesome for that too.

Sorta, I hear m14 is better with ACOG.

Sorta, I hear m14 is better with ACOG.

i have unlocked my red tiger M14 and i did half of it with the Red Dot Sight and the other half with the Acog, i found that the RDS won over in most cases as the huge recoil from firing the M14 made you lose your target rather quickly and it made it hard to kill at medium range without getting disorientated.

The Red Dot sight allowed for pin point accuracy over any range with a manageable recoil.

Thats my opinion.

[Micster]

I'm attempting Headshots with the M14, so I always thought that the ACOG was better, as a Headshot would be a one shot kill anyway.

Why doesn't the G3 do well with the ACOG by the way?

[The_Eliminator]

I have all the headshots with the M14, and the best thing to do is use Red Dot Sight with steady aim, for far away targets the read dot sight is good, and when killing people up close Steady aim gets you those funny headshots.

M14 IMO, has the easiest headshots challenge.

[Sars99]

for the M14 i find playing hardcore (one hit kill to upper body etc) and using a silencer with UAV jammer is the best combo

on maps like bloc i've managed to decimate snipers at long range (the swimming pool to the stairs that the snipers like to hide)

and with a little patience and some resilience to the iron sights it practically becomes a semi-auto silenced sniper rifle

same effect with the G3, but i prefer the M14 for some reason

It does higher damage, tis why. =)

[The_Eliminator]

M14 is a great rifle and i prefer it hands down to the G3.

[FPS[SONIC]]

I prefer both over either one. :nerr:

[Battl3fr0nt]

I have been a G3 fan for a while now but I just went to the M16 again and it is kick *** M16/Bandolir/Stopping power/stady aim.. standerd setup.. for all my gun's.. but I have been doing just as good with the M16 as I do with the G3 is seem's.. (sometimes better with the M16)

[=MNKY=Frosty]

M14 was my fav gun when doing headshots, 1 hit 1 kill, was great, but the recoil did my head in, that's why I love the G3, it is just ridiculously accurate! Great for hardcore, silencer, stopping power, 1 hit 1 kill ;)

[|TG| Chefmoto1]

IMO once you get any of the Assault Rifles down they can become the best AR in the game, you just have to have skill and know its strengths(M16, G3, and M14 are great at range and own in HCore) and weaknesses(like avoid CQC with the M16, G3, and M14).

[Battl3fr0nt]

I just dont like the M14 they should have made it a 1 shot kill to the head but since even when you shoot someone in the head it does not count it wouldnt work...

M14 is a one shot kill to the head, with SP especially?

[Battl3fr0nt]

i dunnooooo but I do know getting a hs is bs... cuz I get them all the time and it does not count as one... they really need to fix that.. I mean I have a better chance just spraying with a uzi and getting a hs rather then aiming for the head with a G3 or M16...

[VW_05_08]

I hear good things about the m14 rifle, I've picked it up a couple of times and it seemed pretty good, just 3 levels and I have it.

when completing the SMG challenges i found this but now i feel although its random and sometimes you get them aiming at peoples feet, if you do aim for the head and the KILL BULLET hits the head it will be classed as a headshot.

[Dirty_Joe]

I registered here just to post my love for the G3.

When I first started playing there where a couple vets that would lurk around behind my team with G3s. After being killed by them several times I started hunting them. I was killed more than a few times. I then worked on getting the G3 silenced.

G3 retains much of it's power and accuracy with a silencer. Semi-auto with a silencer, for whatever reason, seems to make me extremely lethal in midrange fights. I do have cold spells though and end up switching back to the m4. Again, for what ever reason, once I rack up a few kills with the m4 I switch back to the g3 and I'm back in business.

It's obvious why semi-auto is more accurate than full auto but as far back as CS I've found I shoot best with silencers attached despite physics and game design.

[sgt.collins]

well thats good and all but you bumped a 3 month old thread

its alright though i hope you keep posting because these forums dont get much postage

[Dirty_Joe]

Better than starting a new thread on an old topic, yes? I haven't played i quite awhile but was still able to plunk better than my share with the G3 tonight.

[Kodakk]

Yeah, G3 is a great gun...

::Off topic: I find it hilarious how people complain about not searching, and then when somebody does search and bumps an old thread, people complain about that.
:/

[Keyelite]

Because people like to complain, especially related to games.

Oh, and G3 FTW!
I used to use this a ton, I don't now.. but i know the power of it

[Sike]

Yes i love the G3 too,

p.s have you uploaded nightfall yet????

[Kodakk]

Nope, my internet timed out during upload last night, so I'll try again later...

Back on topic :P

[jackal22]

I only use it on my HC file, G3 red dot with stopping power and deeper impact is a 1 hit kill in any situation, through most walls too, it feels a little like cheating but what ever, it sucks in close-mid range so i suppose that balances it.

[cc//|Curtis|™]

M16 > G3

I said it.

Yes and no, I love the M16. Its my fav weapon of choice. But if I went toe to toe with someone who's got the G3 and who has good aim, then at distance I feel that I am at the disadvantage. IMO the guns are balanced making the M16 better in some situations and vice versa. I think the G3 is the only weapon bar the M4 I will use a Silencer. I like the M16 but now and again I will use the G3 to change it up, to me its not to different. But I do feel the M16 is a better gun close up and overall.

G3
RDS / Silencer
Stopping Power
Deep Impact

[R3tard]

G3 w/Silencer
Bandoleer
Stopping Power
Deep Impact

Though I really wished they had put in the FN FAL (rifle that G3 is based off of) It is probably one of my favorite rifles to fire.

[Sanjurjo]

Emm...
The G3 is based on the spanish CETME, that H&K bought the rights, and modified ;) [/geek mode off] :p
I agree that the G3 is a great weapon. It's not well suited for all situations... but on HC it owns. And it's very accurate, i had more headshots with the ironsights that with the attachments, and that helps when i got it silenced, until i got the red tiger and ended the AR challenges with it, a funny and deadly weapon.
HC layout i used:

G3/Silencer
Bandollier
UAV Jammer
Dead Silence

Silenced "sniper" from distance, and great fun to use.

[Kreepy Kitteh =^o.O^=]

i have only just started playing CoD4 on pc recently..and apart from the sniper rifles the G3 is by far my fav >.< i use it with silencer mostly.. haven't tried a scope on it yet (don't even know if i have unlocked on yet lol) but this thing is freeking incredibly accurate at long distances.. i have taken out heaps of people from across the map.

G3+silencer
Juggernaut
forget the rest lol

[Kylee!]

I haven't seen M3ow on in the longest time...

I think he banned himself from the interwebz...

[For post to be legitimate] ----> yea, teh G3 is teh awesome.

[CQ-Reborn]

The setup I usually use:

G3/w Acog scope + woodland camo

USP .45

Bandolier
Stopping power
Steady aim

1x stun

I like my setup because its effective in any situation. With stopping power and steady aim, I can kneel and shoot at short/medium range with the G3, or shoot long range, the pistol with stop and steady aim = pwnage as well so I can hold my own with that by strafing.
