How do you setup your classes?

Do you set them up by game type? Style of play or by weapon? I have 3 AR classes varying perks and launchers, 1 SMG class and then one for my new found love for shotguns.

What about you? Talk to me.

2 dom smg (mp7) classes one with soh for smaller maps and one with extreme conditioning for larger both with support setups. one acr with assault setup for dom and smaller kc or tdm. one class with type 95 for larger maps and village. all these classes with hardline pro and sleight of hand. one class set up with type 95 or acr silenced, soh, assassin, and dead silence for team tactical or search and destroy.

I have a go to AR class running silencer and stealth perks and a mirror that reflects support streaks in lieu of assault for when the enemies prove tough. Then I have an SMG assault class, and SMG specialist class for xp whoring when running solo. Lastly I have two classes that I use to interchange weapons and such that I don't use as go to stuff just for grabbing xp. I mix them up constantly just trying to maximize xp using different set ups. I don't think I'll unlock more classes as 6 seems ideal for me.

First I pick a primary, then a secondary, then perks.....etc.etc. Just effin around. I have mine basically setup by weapons. But last 2 prestiges, I've been setting them up from most used to least used.

I set my up based on mood and map type.
My good mood set up is a P90, pistol, throwing knife and flashbangs. I run scavenger to get more knives, quickdraw to throw them faster and steady aim so I can throw them out of a sprint.

A ghost class with a silenced Fad and a launcher when there is too much shit falling out of the sky.

oh and I have a sniping class which I rarely use because sniping requires aim and patience and I have neither.

I am pretty simple... I have 2 custom classes, one is called assault one is called smg lol

Assault class is now T95/Rapid Fire, SoH, Quickdraw, Marksman and will probably stay that way forever

SMG class is whichever one I feel like using that night, SoH, Quickdraw, Steady Aim

Both classes have Akimbo MPs for secondary, again whichever I feel like that night

I used to have an anti-air class for a 3rd class with AR/Launcher, blind eye, assasin, dead silence but I didnt create it on this prestige because honestly I rarely if ever used it

Today I just set up a bad connection busting class...P90 with rapid fire and extended mags, dual FMG's, UAV/CUAV support class, SOH, assassin, steady aim...

My guns are generally chosen by whatever challenges I'm working on. That being said here's what I got:

I've got 1 class for Drop Zone consisting of a shotgun, Stinger, Semtex, Flash, then Blind Eye pro, Blast Shield Pro, and Steady Aim Pro, Martyrdom for Deathstreak to get that jerk in the DZ who killed me.

1 class with Assault streaks, sniper rifle, Skorpion, then BEpro, Hardline Pro, and Marksman

Other three classes all similar....Stinger secondary, then 1 shotgun, 1 AR, 1 SMG, or 1 LMG. Always SOH for LMG, BE pro for the others, then Assassin or Hardline pros, then stalker or steady aim pros. Support streak setup.

So basically, set up my classes by challenge and in some cases map/game mode. The shotgun class is for Dome, I use the Assult class for Domination on Hardhat & Resistance.

Right now I mostly play dom.

I have 9 classes and set them up according to maps and capping vs defending.

So I often change classes according to whether we have them locked down or if we are still fighting to gain control.

Like some said, for bigger maps I have EC and for smaller maps SoH or BE.

At the moment I have 6 classes set up with the MP7 as primary and Stinger as secondary.
I have one class with the MP7 as primary and the XM25 as secondary.
I have one class with the FAD and XM25.
I have one class with a MK14 (to counter-snipe if needed).


I have it set so if I am close to completing a challenge during a match I will have an identical setup with a different strike package (so I am not getting something I do not need) that I can switch to.


Since I am mainly a defensive player and HATE any enemy aircraft I often change away from my XM25 if no one is shooting down the UAVs and Advanced UAVs.

If I am in a match that people are beating me to the stinger I simply switch to my XM25.


I am addicted to the MP7 and find it hard to get away from it for very long.

Most of my classes have the Trophy System (again I hate any airborne enemy anything) but I also switch around to complete the EMP/FLASH/Concussion challenges.


So I tend to get the award "most weapons switched during a match" a lot.

Primary- G36C with extended mags, will use silencer in SnD
Secondary- MP9 silenced, always, so i have a silent weapon if im close to the enemy

Perks- SoH, almost always, but EC when i wanna rush but you gotta use Quickdraw to increse ADS

Quickdraw as i said, Hardline is very good with the pro version, Assassin in SnD

Dead Silence for sound whoring, Stalker with shotguns, Steady Aim with Smgs/ARs

i find EC, Quickdraw, Steady Aim vey good for domination and Kill Confirmed

Riot Sheild: been running this a little lately for challenges
Scavenger for more throwing knives
Quickdraw to throw faster
Dead Silence- sound whore
Secondary-MSAW launcher just to be obnoxious and as noob-like as possible

if you use hardline pro, use flashbangs because they have a bigger blast radius and increase your chances for assists

didnt really say my specific classes but you get the ideas

If u want to take it to the next level run recon pro as well. I worked on getting the recon pro emblem this last prestige and was racking up assists.

I think this thread has some good info. Nice to see what everyone is doing with classes. The only thing I change frequently is strike packages just to mix it up. I run the out of the box 5 classes and am currently:



Striker class is called rage because rage mic goes nuts when I use it

I have 8 custom classes, set up by game first, and then by play style (more often than not, they can perform dual function).

2 are for DOM - they both have silenced FAD and dual FMG9's, they just differ by perks. One uses Extreme Conditioning, Blast Shield, and Marksman, so I can get to the B flag first and start capping it. Then I'll switch out to DOM Defend, which exchanges Blast Shield for Assassin Pro.

I have rushing classes set up for KC (one for team, one for solo), and a class for FFA. I've got a generic assault class with a Striker, and an assault support with a Stinger, in case we need to shoot something down and no one else has a launcher.

And finally, I have a class just for messing around with weapons that I didn't use that much before maxing, including the Type 95 and the RPG. (Why the hell didn't I start using the Type 95 earlier?!?!)

So you get asst. with recon... hmmm i wonder if those will count as kills (2) with hardline on. Going to try this out tonight.

2 ar classes, 1 with hard line and stinger secondary, other with assassin and mp secondary.

2 smg classes same load outs as above.

5th class is just for FFA with specialist. Soh, hard line, dead silence plus assassin, blind eye and steady aim.

Silenced everything.

Ya know, it terribly unfortunate that I forked over my $$$ for Elite premium and I can't check out what you all run by visiting your MW3 playercards on the site. I like checking out my friends loadouts and trying them out.

Here is what works for me;

Dom SMG - Sprint to cap B, lob grenades, often to predator ks in the first bit of the match
MP7 Rapid Fire and Extended Mags/Akimbo FMG9's
Scav Pro/Hardline Pro/Steady Aim Pro
UAV/Pred/Airstrike

LMG Defend Flags - Big ammo to mow down opposition/keep them off flags
MK46 Rapid Fire and Thermal/Stinger
Blind Eye/Assassin Pro/Marksman Pro
UAV/CUAV only

Sniper - Because it is FUN!
Barret .50 Cal Thermal and Extended Mags/Akimbo FMG9's or Stinger
Blind Eye/Assassin/Marksman
UAV/Pred/Attack Heli

Type 95 - for Kill Confirmed or when there is too much attacking from the sky
Type 95 Rapid Fire and Silencer/Stinger
Blind Eye/Assassin Pro/Marksman Pro
UAV/Care Package/IMS

Then I have a couple change up classes where I am leveling up different guns and playing around with different set ups, Shottie, Riot Shield, FAD... depends on game mode and my mood.

Dead Man's Hand for Deathstreak on all classes, it has saved many a flag from being captured.

^^^damn thats a good idea to stop them from taking the flag when things are going bad

I have 6.

Three MK14 variants, currently thermal + silencer, hybrid or RD + silencer, hybrid or RD + focus. Use depends on the map and what the other team seems to be using. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same w/ Stinger secondary, BB, EMP grenade (I have been trying it out lately) or smoke for the thermal , Blind Eye, Assassin, Dead Silence, DMH.

The other three are more experimenting or for certain situations.
SMG (currently trying MP-7 again) + Stinger, BE, Assassin, Dead Silence, BB, EMP, DMH.
Barrett + MP-9 silenced, BE, Assassin, Marksman, BB, EMP, DMH.
KSG 12 + MP-9 red dot, EC, Assassin, Dead Silence, BB, EMP, DMH.

I run Dead Silence to decide if I like it, otherwise I have been running Stalker.

EMP grenades because I have been playing with them lately for those pesky recon drones - worked the first time, but not since.

Dead Man's Hand because I get a laugh out of it and it seems to have a large lethal radius.

Kill streaks have been mostly Support (UAV, AUAV, Stealth Bomber), but I have been trying more Assault lately (UAV, CP, Predator or UAV, Predator, PAS) - low 3-4-5 or 3-5-6 because I'm still not good at stringing kills together.

beckvillebird, I did not know that about the flashbangs. That is good info.

1 Try Hard go for boab
2 support lol
3 Camping kills
4 Standard games mid range
5 Standard rushing games
6 Camping support lol
