So I am assuming they will nerf the Galil then as well? If the AK74U is being nerfed, you can definitely expect to see a rise in the number of Galil users. Hopefully the damage/radius of the RCXD's blast is being nerfed as well.

So far the Galil doesn't seem to have grown more popular. I've seen a decent number of FAMAS users, but I always did. It seems people are actually branching out: today I've seen two or three RPKs, and a couple of HK21s as well! I was using the Kiparis earlier, and it's actually not as bad as I had previously imagined. I'm Rank 44, 2nd Prestige. With luck I'll be 3rd Prestige tomorrow, but I play Team Deathmatch so I might need to resort to the grinding weapons I don't normally use.

I still reserve a special degree of hate for the RPK at the moment but it feels more competitive now. From the 40 or so seconds I used the PSG-1 it feels good as well - I shot a guy in the stomach and wound up getting a one-hit kill, so it's definitely been made into a powerhouse of a weapon. I bought a bunch of guns, including the Commando and the G11. Somehow I managed to unlock Warlord Pro - it's the first Pro perk I've earned in Black Ops, and weirdly, it was on my G11 class. I keep my G11 free from attachments, meaning it was a completely redundant perk when I unlocked it via a scavenged Spectre.

Ok, I feel a bit dirty for saying this but...I'm becoming addicted to Black Ops MP on 360. I know I'm late to the table on it but I've always enjoyed Battlefield more than CoD. However, one of my good friends kept talking it up (especially zombies) and I finally decided to give MP a try. I bought the game on release but the SP, I found to be pretty much crap so I never played it again. Also, the amount of glitchers on the game turned me off as well. I played some fun games today (TD) and hopefully will continue to have good experiences.

I have absolutely no idea on what strategies to employ as far as load outs though. Again, coming from a BF background where unlocks are progressive and no perks. It's a fun way to go about it but confusing to a newcomer.

Some new favs:

Primary - HK21 w/ extended mags and reflex sight

Secondary - Strela 3

Perks- Scavenger, warlord, and marathon or hacker

Equip - Frags, Smoke, Claymore

Primary - Kiparis w/ grip and extended mags

Secondary - Ballistic Knife

Perks- Scavenger, warlord, marathon

Equip - Semtex, Flash, Claymore

Scavenger seems to be a must for these two as I find myself running out of ammo otherwise very frequently. I also enjoy scavenger for the grenade refills.

An old fav (aka bread and butter):

Primary - Spas-12 w/silencer (reduced range feels negligble and actually feels like the spas has more power, plus one shot kills seem to happen more frequent)

Seconday - Ballistic Knife

Perks - lightweight, sleight of hand, marathon

Equip - Semtex, Concussion, C4

Trends that I see holding steady:

AK74u: even after the nerf, still highly used and effective

FAMAS: Most common AR I see due to lack of recoil and rate of fire

Galil: Second most common AR seen

Player emblems with genitalia depicted

Trends I see on the rise in my games:

Shotgun users: i have been seeing an influx of users, mostly spas or olympia but the occaional stakeout.

G11: More and more people are recognizing its effectiveness.

Ghost: Becoming more common, it has been used by alot of people in the past, i just see more people recognizing its advantages and using more now than say week 1-2 of release.

Second Chance: Seems to be showing up more often in my games, whether it be on my team or the oppenents. I have been getting more medic medals lately.

Players treating domination as team deathmatch vs. taking/holding territories and ultimately losing in the end because of it.

I didn't notice any change in damage. If they did modify it, it had to be very slight. I'll play with it some more tonight.

Good, that's what I was thinking as well. The only way I think some people may think the damage has decreased is because they are hitting the enemy with less bullets due to the altered accuracy.
