I need a little feedback on ACOG scopes from COD4 players.

Recently I have been using the AK-47 with an ACOG scope. Is this a good idea? Or should I use the Red Dot scope?

What type of guns is the ACOG gun meant for?

Also I am aware that the ACOG scope reduces accuracy and increases range. Does the reduced accuracy effect the guns largely?

I don't like the ACOG scope. i find i can shoot people a long way away just fine either with the red dot, or the standard gun sights. I tend to run around and shoot people at fairly close range, and the ACOG ain't ideal for that.

na bro, keep the red dot with the AK. trust me, i love the ak, tried the ACOG, n it reduced my performance. the Ak is for more of a run and gun player who only has a second to aim at an enemy. the red dot for the Ak is the best way to go.

Red dot is def better I think but there will be someone out there that will say diff.There are soo many dumbass combinations in COD4 I say its up to you and what you like. I see dumb ppl put a a ACOG scope on and M60 lol or on a freaking cheap P90 its just whatever you prefer and comfy with.

What about the M4 Carbine. I saw it perform better with the ACOG scope on.

P90 cheap? BLASPHEMY!!! lol. I use acog scope on my .50 cal. I dont have to hold my breath anymore when I try sighting a target. The scope is great for sniper rifles but for ccc type weapons i wouldnt recommend it. The previous posts were right. Better off using the red dot scope for like ak's, G36c's. etc.

nah man, the M4 is better for CQB. the ACOG is more for lonng range. M14, G3, snipers and such.

I don't use the ACOG scope at all - only the red-dot sight. As it seems, they should have given you the ACOG scope first, then the red-dot. It seems faster from "hip-to-eye", and you can see more of the environment.

But if you like it, use it.

The m16 owns no matter what you put on it..

Ive used the m16 since level 5, havent stopped since.

Its the best gun...

The acog? Kinda messed me up, On snipers it would work, but anything else no.

Red dot is the way to go.

ACOG give you a slight magnification (like 1.5x or 2x) but has horrible accuracy. The scope bobs all around like you were using a sniper rifle but the bad thing is that there's no hold breath function. It works well with AK47, M4 or G36C.

it depends what i feel like using and the map im on, some maps dont require an ACOG scope because its pretty close quarters, others would benefit from using it, but due to the decreased range of the weapon, a red dot sight usually takes care of the task required 9/10 times

with all the inaccuracy issues that the ACOG has, those are the only guns i dare use it with. You go ahead and use it with the M14 and G3 but don't piss and moan to me when your headshot misses wide and you reap the revenge of your formerly unsuspecting victim. The slight zoom helps to acquire targets at a more distant range and the full auto on all those weapons ensures that if 1 or 2 rounds miss, other rounds aren't far behind.

im going to have to agree, i tried using an ACOG on the M14, reaped it of its beauty, couldnt hit a thing with it on. ive really only used the ACOG is the M4 and that worked pretty well

I run an acog on the mp5...with stopping power and steady aim...IMO strongest weapon in the game...

95% of the time i shoot from the hip and i found that the acog gives me some addtional range while doing so...but on some larger maps.."where i cant shoot from the hip" the cog gives me what i need..

Red dot is better suited for the AK i feel. I seem to get more kills with the Red Dot scope so i stick with that.

IMO the AK has such a good iron sight that using a Red Dot sight almost seems trivial. One weapon i love the Red Dot Sight on is the M14. that gun has horrible iron sights and the Red Dot sight on that pwns.

What M16 were you using. It must be my scope. Its busted. I had it on someone for a good 30 secs shooting my entire clip and not a single bullet hit. I will never use that scope again. As for those that put ACOG on SMGs....you should be shot in the butt.

Ohhh i agree..seems dumb to use/try it...but... i was just playing around one match with it and it clicked really well for me.....In one match i might pull up to the sight maybe 3-4 times..

With the additional range the cog gives me i can headshot from the hip much further away..

I find that using ACOG works well on M4. The problem is that, the M4 is one of the weaker guns. Sometimes I hit the enemy first (and usually in a critical area) but the person doesn't seem to die and they end up killing me. But its nothing that occurs continously. Also, having the double fire fire perk on usually solves that problem.

Is having the ACOG on the G3 really bad?

No, the recoil on the AK makes it pretty much worthless with anything but the red dot (although it's great with the dot). I only use the ACOG on the M-16 and the M-4 (basically anything you plan to use from medium to long range), red dot is best for almost every other weapon.

You could put a silencer on the AK.. Works better than you might think. The regular gunsight on it is pretty good, it's open and you can see around well. Plus the silencer cuts down on recoil. I cant stand ACOG though.

I can't use ACOG Scope for any gun. My style is run n gun, so I use Red Dot or Iron sights with a silencer. MP5 and G36C are the best for this, (P90 Iron sight sucks, imo)

I personally don't use the ACOG-- im a 30 right now and the M4 is my baby :P . I find the red dot to be a truly amazing piece of hardware on an even more amazing piece of hardware. But in the end, it's all personal preference I guess lol. I guess I have to agree that it may fare well on the G3 or M14, but I haven't gotten there yet....

I dislike the ACOG scope because you can't see to the sides at all while using it and it feels very "wobbly" because of the amount of aim movement (for fairness) added to it.

Hello. I am currently a level 49 and I usually use Assault Rifles. I use the M4 Carbine. Whenever I die, I always look on the killcam and I can see that the majority of the killers use the ACOG Scope. But I personally prefer the Red Dot Sight for no particular reason other than the fact that I have been using it since my first day of playing call of duty 4.

the red dot... well for me anywayz. your movements when aiming is faster with red dot then it is acog. but i guess both works fine if you know how to use it.

its worth using on a gun like the m16 or g3 but not on an ak, considering its not meant for long range and its accuracy is already poor as it is

It's kinda stupid because in SP there is a much better ACOG scope which doesn't get rid of the vision on your sides, so I don't see why they didn't use that.

I used the ACOG on my AK-47 for awhile because I kept finding myself pseudo-sniping people often before getting it and I figured it would be a big help because of that. Bad choice. The game isn't kidding when it says you take a hit in accuracy. The AK-47 is already pretty inaccurate and the ACOG tips the scales to where each shot you make may as well be a dice roll. Even when you're not using the scope you still take a hit in accuracy. Before I put the ACOG on the AK-47 I could kill people just hip firing when at close-medium range. With the ACOG scope on though I have to aim down the scope now just to hit anyone (unless they a couple feet away). Trust me, red dot sight is the way to go with the AK-47 and other low to moderately accurate weapons. ACOG should be reserved for high accuracy weapons only (the higher accuracy assault rifles and sniper rifles).
