Overkill is a waste of a perk. I usually just pick up other people's weapons when I need them. And the other day I picked up a Mini Uzi with an ACOG scope. It was hilarious and completely useless at the same time.
I think the ACOG is just terrible, on any gun.

The fourth main Call of Duty game ditches the World War II setting of the past games to tell a story set in contemporary times, and backs it up with a breakthrough multiplayer mode.
I saw someone put an ACOG on a Mini Uzi.
One of the guys on the tac realism server I used to play on swore by the ACOG Uzi with stopping power. He was usually on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
The acog in cod4 is vastly screwed up over its real life version, it infact decreases your accuracy by a far amount and yet improves the distance? well at long distance its so inacurate theres no point, the red dote site is actually better in close quarters.
I was playing with a good crowd of players once and I unlocked the first acog scope and I put it on the RPD between matches to try it out. It was NOT useful for close combat. I got nailed going thru a door and a teammate ran out of ammo and picked up my weapon.
He threw a bit of a fit (it was funny) about Who on earth puts the acog on a RPD on a small map!!?!?!
Smg with ACOG= pointless
You dont want range with an smg, thats totally missing the point of an smg.You want rapid fire in close range.
"The acog in cod4 is vastly screwed up over its real life version, it infact decreases your accuracy by a far amount and yet improves the distance? well at long distance its so inacurate theres no point, the red dote site is actually better in close quarters."Yeah, I like the ACOG in Rainbow Six Vegas 2. But I never really got much into that game.
I occasionally use the ACOG with an M16, or the MP5.
It does kind of wierd stuff, granted, but you just need to learn to shoot using the basic (i.e. not looking down the barrel of the gun p.o.v.) when you are in mid-close range with someone. You can then use the ACOG if you happen to spot someone from a distance.
It's been a while, but I am definitely getting on CoD4 for a bit tonight.
"Smg with ACOG= pointlessNormally I'd agree, but the P90 and Skorpion have OP range, and you can snipe ppl from frickin miles away with those smgs + acog.

I still prefer Red dot for up close, but you can definitely snipe with p90.
I agree the ACOG is horrible. I can normally aim just as good with a red dot and still retain all my accuracy. Some weapons i just prefer the iron sights (p90, RPD and AK), so i use a silencer or grip on them. I can' stand the iron sights on the m16 and the m4, they're just too big and get in the way all the time.
Well, the Skorpion has the worst range of any non-shotgun and it is the most accurate SMG, so an ACOG wouldn't be too bad. Of course I use the RDS for all my guns anyway unless I'm using a grenade launcher or grip.
The ACOG is inferior to the red-dot sight for pretty much everything. Red dot you get good peripheral vision, a small reticule, and no decrease in accuracy. ACOG barely gives you any magnification, has a large reticule, no peripheral vision, and waves around like a drunken monkey is holding it for you.
I have put it on my Skorpion just for laughs though, mostly during stupid 32-player Shipment matches.
Red dot sight is fine for pretty much every weapon, but depending on the map I do use ACOG for sniping sometimes.
For example I would stick with the normal sight on maps like Overgrown or Creek because of the long distances, and you generally have a lot of time to take your shot so the increased zoom speed is of no use. On a map like Chinatown or Backlot though, it can be very useful.
Skorpion+ACOG is the best setup for acog+SMG class, the secret is to shoot in short controlled bursts in Hardcore Mode. I wouldn't suggest using it in Noob Mode unless you have stopping power on.

I use the ACOG with the M4 carbine most games I play. Its good for medium range but at longer range it gives you the ability to even get the better of snipers due to the M4's accuracy in that game.
The ACOG is good with a gun like that. And it generally means me killing the guy who has not seen me since all he has is the red dot scope...
The obstructed view is a little tough to get used to.. but I've been using it on the AK-47 since the days of the beta so its cake now. Once you are used to the way it changes the dynamics of whatever gun you are using you realize how much more lethal you can be. But again.. its hard for many to get past the obstructed view.

I actually like the Mini Uzi with the ACOG on it. Maybe it's because I got an Airstrike when I picked one up. The cool thing about it was that all five kills were headshots, and they happened within twenty seconds of grabbing the gun. The Mini Uzi had a Blue Tiger camo on it, I believe.
