I only saw the MP44 on the ground ONCE in MWR. In cod 4 (the original), I used to always use this gun. I'm the type of person that gravitates to the more underused guns.
So the reason that the MP-44 is named that way is because when it was first developed, Hitler was HEAVILY against the development of any new rifles. He only wanted "machine pistols" or smg's. on accident, a nazi general asked hitler for more of these new rifles. Upon discovering that there was a rifle being produced without his knowledge, he was furious. He shot the rifle and instantly fell in love with it. Naming it the sturmgewehr, meaning storm weapon or storm rifle in German. Just a little history for you.
matt D - It was meant to be named MP-43 initially, but the weapon's development was slow because of the war, so it ended up being officially released some time early in 1944 as the MP-44.. A few early models was released in 1943 under the MP-43 name however, but the design of the weapon got refined through the revisions (MP-43 > MP-44 > StG-44) And unlike the version found here, the real StG-44 was highly accurate, and had a characteristic "chugga-chugga" sound when fired.. Some facts: The StG-44's design inspired Mikhail Kalashnikov to make the AK-47, and much later on gave inspirations to Eugene Stoner's M16. The StG-44 was the first weapon which the term "assault rifle" was used for The StG-44 was made to be compact as an SMG, with the power and accuracy of a normal rifle The ammo used in the StG-44 was called 7.92x33 kurz (short) But it was pretty close to the 7.62x39 found in the AK-47 in terms of power.. A slightly wider and heavier bullet, but with less speed than the 7.62, due to the shorter length of the casing, so the difference sort of balanced out
It was orginally named MP44 (maschinenpistole 44) probably for reason that other thinks it's just another sub machine gun like MP38 or MP40. Hiter personally named the MP44 into STG 44 (sturmgewehr). Which was and is more accurate name for the weapon since it's not maschinenpistole after all xD
Some Isis groups or shit still use the STG / MP44 to this day. The gun is still used in some very rare cases. Its the first assault rifle ever created to function properly and its a very reliable gun.
Yes the Syrian Army got stockpiles of them, look it up. Guns like these should be in a museum, not in the god forsaken hellhole that is the Middle East.
Skorpion or MP44. I remember playing the original COD4 and running around with the thing trying to unlock all the attachments for all the guns, and no one else was using the Skorpion. Now, it's a piece of junk, I admit, but it was one of those "it's MY piece of junk" things.
During WWII, Hitler demanded that the german weapons engineers create submachine guns rather as he believed that they were generally better than rifles. As such, when they created the mp/stg44, which was technically not a submachine gun, they named it the mp44, implying it was a submachine gun. Later, when Hitler found out, he liked the design so much he allowed production to continue under a more accurate name, the stg44.
It was first named MP44, because Hitler thought that SMGs are the key to victory and they are vital, so it was named MP44, then it was renamed to STG44(Sturmgewerh/Assault Rifle) after Hitler found out what's going on with the gun and he liked the concept.
The hidden OP of the MP44 was the recoil kick which had more chance of kicking body shots into headshots, so at a range it was actually pretty op as you'd get a bullet from body to the head in like 3 or 4 bullets (given you aim at the body).
The StG44 is frequently called MP44/MP43, because Hitler didn't want a full auto rifle with an intermediate cartrige, so the engineers just called it Maschinenpistole. Later on Hitler did accept the Sturm Gewehr name though.
Another great video! My only regret is that I did not discover your Channel sooner than I did, as your tips are extremely well thought-out and researched, and I truly appreciate your integration of history in many of your videos, whether world history or gaming history! Your vids are a lot of fun to watch, and I always end up learning something useful or insightful, that I had not thought about before. Amazing work, thumbs up!
The weapon was called both, MP44 and StG44, by the german officials. Although StG44 is the more fitting name. MaschinenPistole (submachine gun in english) indicates a pistol cartridge, where as SturmGewehr (=assault rifle) indicates a rifle cartridge, which this rifle has...
The MP44, is what you could say the 3rd iteration of the development of the STG44, initially it was called the MKB 42, which essentially means machine carbine. As people have already mentioned, due to Hitler's denial of rifle/carbine development, it was done secretly with the loophole of labeling it as a smg, during this section of development, models were labelled as MP43 and MP44, until final development was allowed and it then being named the STG44.
The German government was reluctant to make a full auto rifle, but the manufacturers designated the stg44 as a smg at first under the name mp44, a successor to the mp40, after the German government saw the mp44 and it's potential ( it was one of the first assault rifles ever made ), they decided to keep it and rebrand it properly as a rifle
It was called the mp44 first because mp is basically German for sub machine gun but the makers didn't want hitler to know they were making an assault rifle but then he liked it so it was renamed the stg44
the reason for the the differant names is in ww2 hitler didnt like the idea of a medium sized cartridge so the engineers named it mp44 or machine pistol 44 until hitler shot it relized how useful it was then gave it the name stg-44.
I could be wrong, but I've heard that in WW2, Hitler favored the production of SMGs over making new rifles, so the makers of the gun named it the MP44 so they could get the deal with the military and get it mass-produced. Hitler ended up liking the gun, and since it was not an SMG, they renamed to STG44.
Hey Nero. Great vid. Been loving the MWR content. I was wondering if you could do some videos on nade spots on the different maps? Maybe some good starting nades on search or other game types, or just nading places where people like to sit. I know a handful from back in the day but I have also forgotten a lot. I think it would make for some great content. If not nbd. Thanks a bunch!!
I heard a different explanation for the Sturmgewehr having two names. And that is that Hitler was himself a soldier during the first world war and had very peculiar ideas on how soldiers ought to be equipped. He didn't like the brand new concept of an 'assault rifle' and didn't think his troops needed it. But his generals saw the potential of the STG44 and re-named it MP44 to make it appear in the paperwork to look like just another SMG. They tried to sneak it into service right under Hitler's nose. And for the most part, they were successful in doing so.
I don’t see many players using the Mini Uzi which makes me prideful because I sometimes get headshots all the way across the Bog map with the Uzi unmodified. No kits. No attachments. Just plain old Uzi with bandolier, stopping power, and deep impact. I get tons of kills with the Mini Uzi
The 5 years I spent playing COD4, the most underused weapon kit I found was the G36c w/ acog sight. Only saw this combination once in 5 years. I however, found the likelyhood of spotting one interesting, so I used it several times, especially in hardcore mode. It sucks however in normal mode. It was actually a lot of fun to use a combination you hardly never saw, with everyone running around with M16's.
You got the part about the STG and MP part right. Originally it was even called the mp43 and eventually called the mp44 which is the model shown in game. It was designated the mp series that German submachine guns used because the designers showed it to Hitler and he originally disliked the gun and concept of an assault rifle, the designers then put it into production designated as an mp series sliding under Hitlers radar going to the Eastern front. After Hitler saw the weapon in combat he finally saw its usefulness on the battlefield and had it renamed to the sturmgewhr 44 (STG44) closely translated to storm weapon.
1. The AK47 is basically a stronger version of the Stg44 since the Stg44 is considered the first assault rifle ever. 2. The AK47 in the game is actually an AKM, which can be spotted mainly by the stamped receiver instead of the AK47's milled receiver, the straighter stock and the sloped muzzle to help compensate recoil.
The MP designation was used when the Germans were originally designing the STG. Adolf Hitler did not want a full powered cartridge, he wanted to exploit submachine guns. By calling in a machine pistol they were allowed to work on the designs, and upon seeing the firearm in action Hitler himself coined the phrase assault rifle.
Underused in COD4 also, I used to roll with it. And the STG44 in W@W. Most people didnt use it cause u couldnt put attachments on it, thats the main reason
From what I've heard, German people had made "assault rifles" during WWII. However, Hitler only wanted "machine pistols" so they named this "assault rifle" the MP44 to make Hitler want this "machine pistol" even though it has a more lethal bullet and a ton more range.
Oh, you can choose to carry a weapon over with you when you prestige in mwr? well that's nice. Good thing the m16 isn't unlocked at a high level, otherwise I'd imagine everyone would of wasted their unlock token on it.
I can agree with you, since everybody is using the best guns in the game, there is no variety. But the only reason i would use the MP44 is for going for gold then to regal, then to exclusion zone.
I also used a token on the mp44. It's my favorite gun in cod 4. I love wrecking in free for all with it and getting that reaction of "...really the mp44?"
I’ve read that even tho the Soviets destroyed nearly all of the Nazi arms and such, The STG is the most common WW2 rifle among Middle East black markets.
Sometimes Cod creators have to use different names for weapons because the country of origin/creator of the weapon won't actually give them permission to use the name of their weapon. For example in BO2 there are 4 weapons that have their real names changed. They are the M8A1=actually called the MX8, M27=HK 416, Ballista sniper=AS338LM, and the Swat 556=Sig 556. So the MP 44 most likely had a similar story with its name.
The stg44 was developed under the name mp44 because hitler wasn't interested in the development of a true assault rifle but they did it anyway and when it was unveiled to hitler he loved it and re named it the stg44
Something people dont realize is that when COD4 was made when we were fighting overseas that the terrorists did not all have just AK's some actually had found and/or had gotten one that was made over there because they used to have many stg44s because of the nazi occupation of africa. They had actually more ammo for that weapon than they could find weapons, so they used some of the bullets in the AK. Now the bullets were not made for the AK since they were slightly fatter (which is more dangerous), but the bullets were also shorter. I just want to say this because I see alot of people saying that this is a joke weapon in the game (it kinda is), but it is not because of a WW2 game they made (it is a good assumption) but they actually used the stg 44 while we were fighting back in the early 2000's. Hope this is some insight to some people, who wonder why this gun is even here.
Whats funny about your point in recoil is that the original AK-47/AKM actually has harsher recoil than an MP/STG44, due to both the design of the gun and rate of fire. If the game was more accurate, the 44 would beat the 47 in almost any gunfight.
The gun was originally named Machine Pistole 1944 Hitler then wanted to change the name to Sturm Gewher 1944 because it meant "Storm Rifle" If you see "storm" as a verb, then it's called Assault Rifle 1944, it was the first fully automatic infantry rifle It's also true that it's actually a weaker AK47, it's a predecessor, as the AK was designed 3 years later(by the Russians tho) inspired by the innovative fully automatic design
Hitler didn't like the original idea of the Stg, so the Germans at the time to get it serviced and into combat, renamed it the mp44 to convince Hitler that it was a glorified smg. Hitler wasn't a fan to replacing the Mauser Karabiner rifle that he grew fond of, he also didnt want to replace any smgs that were being used in close quarters, despite the fact that the Stg was a weapon the bridged the gap between close and long range. A Machine pistol or Submachine gun fires pistol caliber rounds, like 9mm, 45 acp, etc. whereas the Stg fired the first intermediate round, so a mix in size and power between a pistol and rifle caliber.
I remember back in bo2 where I had 3 or 4 executioner-only classes. Playing mostly SnD, I had about 11 thousand kills with that thing when all was said and done. Great pistol.
it was a Tactic to confuse people. when you hear mp44 for the first time you think its just an upgrade to the existing mp40. but in reality it is one of the first assault rifle. sturmgrewhr litterley translates to "storm rifle" Stg44 simply means sturmgrewhr model of 1944. before anyone goes on a rant its just an upgrade to the mp43 which is the first model of the gun.
It is basically the same as comparing an M14 or M21 with an M1 Garand, the AK47 is based on STG / MP44 captured by the Russians at the end of World War II, Kaláshnikov was based on the design and operating system of German armament; In fact, the STG / MP44 is considered historically as the first assault rifle in the world. It is also logical that in the game produce less damage since it uses a smaller caliber.
Don't get why they call it the mp44, it's an stg44. MP stands for maschinpistole, or machine pistol in english. Sub machine guns use pistol rounds, which is why they had names like mp18, mp40, mp28, etc. The stg however does not use pistol rounds therefore should not be called an mp44
The reasoning for the name "mp44" is because the hitler in ww2 didn't like the design of an assault rifle at first so the German military designated it as an SMG type weapon
redneck96100 wait, the stg was in waw and mp was in cod 4. cod 4 was before waw(in historical times, not when released). and the stg/mp was developed during the war, so i feel like the stg was prototype
Currently going through the challenges and its miserable. I can do well with it but maps like overgrown or bloc don't lend themselves kindly to short to mid range weapons and I just get outgunned by everyone
hey Nero I am not sure about this at all but while using the mp44 I have had a good amount of clutch close range hip fire moments with it, makes me wonder if it does have a hidden good hip fire (without steady aim). In terms of effective range I would say within 15-20 feet. compared to other assault rifles I wonder which is best in a hip fire situation.
yeah, Been using this thing for an entire prestiege, currently 5 kills off the gold camo. Its legit only good in hardcore, and even then, you want to be playing ream smart to get around its shortcomings.
stg-44/mp44 is actually the same gun in the real world but for whatever reason. has two names. maybe because the Germans wanted to keep the gun series going because the mp40 was the primary submachine gun developed by the Germans and I believe the stg-44 and the mp40 were created by the same scientist(s)
M249 saw and m60 these guns seemed to be more popular back in the original game but I have yet to see people using them in normal games I've see a decent amount of people using the rpd but haven't see any other lmg's being used.

The most underused gun in MWR is the M16 lol
Ghosts619 lol
Ghosts619 it was never used in cod4
Ghosts619 in cod4, i used to rip shit up with the mp44 lol used it cuz its like the ak47, but theres a challenge to using it
Ghosts619 just wtf
starving kid from africa Sarcasm?
I only saw the MP44 on the ground ONCE in MWR. In cod 4 (the original), I used to always use this gun. I'm the type of person that gravitates to the more underused guns.

I literally just Perma-Unlocked it cuz I'm going for that Exclusion Zone. Still one of my favorite CoD 4 weapons
Not a bad idea!
hey Nero just for info Sturmgewehr = Assault Rifle
higu469 in a meaningful translation, yes. but in a literal one...
I have the ex zone camo
Its impossible for headshots just so you know
Imagine a world where this was a supply drop weapon
Perhaps in a game where we have exo suits?
Now THAT totally sounds like a game I would buy day one! 😂
and clown suits
Exo clown suits***
imagine a world where there is no Supply drops than it would look more like the original :(
So the reason that the MP-44 is named that way is because when it was first developed, Hitler was HEAVILY against the development of any new rifles. He only wanted "machine pistols" or smg's. on accident, a nazi general asked hitler for more of these new rifles.

matt D wow that was pretty interesting actually. Cool bit of history
matt D - It was meant to be named MP-43 initially, but the weapon's development was slow because of the war, so it ended up being officially released some time early in 1944 as the MP-44.. A few early models was released in 1943 under the MP-43 name however, but the design of the weapon got refined through the revisions (MP-43 > MP-44 > StG-44)
And unlike the version found here, the real StG-44 was highly accurate, and had a characteristic "chugga-chugga" sound when fired..
Some facts: The StG-44's design inspired Mikhail Kalashnikov to make the AK-47, and much later on gave inspirations to Eugene Stoner's M16.
The StG-44 was the first weapon which the term "assault rifle" was used for
The StG-44 was made to be compact as an SMG, with the power and accuracy of a normal rifle
The ammo used in the StG-44 was called 7.92x33 kurz (short)
But it was pretty close to the 7.62x39 found in the AK-47 in terms of power.. A slightly wider and heavier bullet, but with less speed than the 7.62, due to the shorter length of the casing, so the difference sort of balanced out
G6 Liara mp 43 and mp 44 are the same thing
matt D The existence of the MKb-42(H) proves otherwise. It was put into service in 1942, before development of the StG-44 even started.
Steve Jobs wrong too, smart boi
Loved the STG44 in waw! Killer weapon!
Me too, although I enjoyed almost every weapon in waw. The game was just awesome
Hoping for that remaster in the next couple seasons! Ultimate zombies, original everything! Love it too man!
I loved that gun to pieces in W@W, ran it with Suppressor, on a stealth build. Tore shit up.
Hopefully, The mp40 will be nerfed
Lotion as bleach K that won't happen. If they won't nerf the M16 in CoD4, then why would they nerf the MP40?
mini uzi acog sight
And on the other side of the spectrum, we have the M16- the most overused weapon in MWR
It was orginally named MP44 (maschinenpistole 44) probably for reason that other thinks it's just another sub machine gun like MP38 or MP40. Hiter personally named the MP44 into STG 44 (sturmgewehr). Which was and is more accurate name for the weapon since it's not maschinenpistole after all xD
Didn't storm troopers use it as well?
Dev Chanana fun fact: rebels used it as their primary weapons
The Pyromaani like the ak47 avtomat kalashnikov 47
the most underrated weapon in general was the m1216 from bo2, my opinion because I almost never saw it.
Hard to compete with the R870 in BO2
NerosCinema and the ksg lmao that thing was a sniper
Kingyogozema well it did shoot slugs
Raul Barcenas
I saw it quite often tbh.
NerosCinema hard to compete with that ksg. ah that sweet sweet ksg
Some Isis groups or shit still use the STG / MP44 to this day. The gun is still used in some very rare cases. Its the first assault rifle ever created to function properly and its a very reliable gun.
You can see it time to time in pictures from middle east
Klansman it's so so so rare in the Middle East

Zach Moore
$200k?
Hell no!
It's like $22,000 at its most!
The STG 44 in world at war with flash hider was a beast, since it was the only assault rifle to be full auto.
This gun is a beast. The recoil is a bit of a issue but if you can control it, it melts. Also, the Headshots for this weapon are a HUGE pain.
Single shoot it, trust me on that one
Skorpion or MP44. I remember playing the original COD4 and running around with the thing trying to unlock all the attachments for all the guns, and no one else was using the Skorpion. Now, it's a piece of junk, I admit, but it was one of those "it's MY piece of junk" things.
My biggest problem with it is that it's iron sights are terrible and you can't put any attachments on it so there's no way to improve them.
1:21 Lol, I think the MP-44's recoil pattern is trying to tell Nero something. Look closely at the shape the bullets made.
On the left. Stupid RUclips doesn't let me edit my comment.

My bad, typing too fast.

The STG on world at war is a lot better.
They're the same gun...
HD x Charlie I know but it feels better on WaW. It's more accurate and has less recoil on that game. Also the iron sights are better.
and has a more badass reload animation
Nice man had to watch before I went to sleep lol
Hopefully this weapon's recoil and view kick won't give you nightmares :P

I know what you mean. Using old school weapons to beat the modern ones takes some skill and it's a great feeling.

MnKLucks IW isn't really that bad
genericmeme #107 I'm considering it
MnKLucks i bought legacy edition for 59€. Iw aint that shit
I remember this gun having terrible iron sights in the original Cod 4, but they look so clear on this game

I don’t see many players using the Mini Uzi which makes me prideful because I sometimes get headshots all the way across the Bog map with the Uzi unmodified. No kits. No attachments. Just plain old Uzi with bandolier, stopping power, and deep impact. I get tons of kills with the Mini Uzi

Underused in COD4 also, I used to roll with it. And the STG44 in W@W. Most people didnt use it cause u couldnt put attachments on it, thats the main reason
Shouldn't the MP44 deal more damage than an AK47? The MP44 chambers 7.92 which is a much larger round than what the AK chambers which is 7.62.
From what I've heard, German people had made "assault rifles" during WWII. However, Hitler only wanted "machine pistols" so they named this "assault rifle" the MP44 to make Hitler want this "machine pistol" even though it has a more lethal bullet and a ton more range.

Oh, you can choose to carry a weapon over with you when you prestige in mwr? well that's nice. Good thing the m16 isn't unlocked at a high level, otherwise I'd imagine everyone would of wasted their unlock token on it.
I can agree with you, since everybody is using the best guns in the game, there is no variety. But the only reason i would use the MP44 is for going for gold then to regal, then to exclusion zone.
Skorpion is definitely the most underused weapon. I used to use the MP44 in hardcore SnD back in Cod4, but I havent tried it out in this game yet.
I also used a token on the mp44. It's my favorite gun in cod 4. I love wrecking in free for all with it and getting that reaction of "...really the mp44?"
Also are you on xbox? because it could of been me you saw with the blue tiger mp44. that's what I use.
the reason why there is stg44 and mp44 is because stg44 was little bit "updated" version of mp44
I’ve read that even tho the Soviets destroyed nearly all of the Nazi arms and such, The STG is the most common WW2 rifle among Middle East black markets.
Sometimes Cod creators have to use different names for weapons because the country of origin/creator of the weapon won't actually give them permission to use the name of their weapon. For example in BO2 there are 4 weapons that have their real names changed. They are the M8A1=actually called the MX8, M27=HK 416, Ballista sniper=AS338LM, and the Swat 556=Sig 556. So the MP 44 most likely had a similar story with its name.
Great content, subbed! My fav gun 😍
The stg44 was developed under the name mp44 because hitler wasn't interested in the development of a true assault rifle but they did it anyway and when it was unveiled to hitler he loved it and re named it the stg44
the MP44 was one of the best guns to use on COD2, when I played on PC
I like the increased recoil for closer ranges because I tend to get more headshots with it
Something people dont realize is that when COD4 was made when we were fighting overseas that the terrorists did not all have just AK's some actually had found and/or had gotten one that was made over there because they used to have many stg44s because of the nazi occupation of africa. They had actually more ammo for that weapon than they could find weapons, so they used some of the bullets in the AK. Now the bullets were not made for the AK since they were slightly fatter (which is more dangerous), but the bullets were also shorter. I just want to say this because I see alot of people saying that this is a joke weapon in the game (it kinda is), but it is not because of a WW2 game they made (it is a good assumption) but they actually used the stg 44 while we were fighting back in the early 2000's. Hope this is some insight to some people, who wonder why this gun is even here.
Whats funny about your point in recoil is that the original AK-47/AKM actually has harsher recoil than an MP/STG44, due to both the design of the gun and rate of fire. If the game was more accurate, the 44 would beat the 47 in almost any gunfight.
Fun Fact : this was actually the first assault rifle ever put into service
The gun was originally named Machine Pistole 1944
Hitler then wanted to change the name to Sturm Gewher 1944 because it meant "Storm Rifle"
If you see "storm" as a verb, then it's called Assault Rifle 1944, it was the first fully automatic infantry rifle
It's also true that it's actually a weaker AK47, it's a predecessor, as the AK was designed 3 years later(by the Russians tho) inspired by the innovative fully automatic design
Larry vickers said in one video that the Stg44 is actually more controllable than the M4 carbine lol.
Hitler didn't like the original idea of the Stg, so the Germans at the time to get it serviced and into combat, renamed it the mp44 to convince Hitler that it was a glorified smg. Hitler wasn't a fan to replacing the Mauser Karabiner rifle that he grew fond of, he also didnt want to replace any smgs that were being used in close quarters, despite the fact that the Stg was a weapon the bridged the gap between close and long range. A Machine pistol or Submachine gun fires pistol caliber rounds, like 9mm, 45 acp, etc. whereas the Stg fired the first intermediate round, so a mix in size and power between a pistol and rifle caliber.
You are right about the mp and stg. The name was changed during ww2
I remember back in bo2 where I had 3 or 4 executioner-only classes. Playing mostly SnD, I had about 11 thousand kills with that thing when all was said and done. Great pistol.
it was a Tactic to confuse people. when you hear mp44 for the first time you think its just an upgrade to the existing mp40. but in reality it is one of the first assault rifle. sturmgrewhr litterley translates to "storm rifle" Stg44 simply means sturmgrewhr model of 1944. before anyone goes on a rant its just an upgrade to the mp43 which is the first model of the gun.
It is basically the same as comparing an M14 or M21 with an M1 Garand, the AK47 is based on STG / MP44 captured by the Russians at the end of World War II, Kaláshnikov was based on the design and operating system of German armament; In fact, the STG / MP44 is considered historically as the first assault rifle in the world. It is also logical that in the game produce less damage since it uses a smaller caliber.
Gabriel Alejandro Chinga Guajardo the STG44 uses a slightly higher caliber
Don't forget that it doesn't lose damage like the AK does with attachments.
this guy has such good content he deservers more subs
It's underrated and underused love the channel
Don't get why they call it the mp44, it's an stg44. MP stands for maschinpistole, or machine pistol in english. Sub machine guns use pistol rounds, which is why they had names like mp18, mp40, mp28, etc. The stg however does not use pistol rounds therefore should not be called an mp44
Not only is it a WWII weapon, but it's also the very first assault rifle
The Mini Uzi, Škorpion, M249 Saw, M60E4, M14, and G36C are all underused/underrated guns.
The reasoning for the name "mp44" is because the hitler in ww2 didn't like the design of an assault rifle at first so the German military designated it as an SMG type weapon
Keep it that way! Using this beast with stopping power against m16's is 10/10
The most under used weapon to me is the M4A1 from either MW2 or MW3 because it always seemed that I was the only one using it
I think it's more fun to use a bad gun like the mp44 just to have fun on remastered because there are so many people who use guns like ak47 or the 74u
I have it in gold and usually do very well with it. Just play it like an SMG.
Also own one in real life so of course I like using it.

-mp44, m9
-frag x3, stopping power, deep impact
-smoke grenade
blaze it
the stg44 is a variant of the mp44. it was a prototype i think, and the mp44 was the final/finished version
STG-44 was the finished version.
redneck96100 wait, the stg was in waw and mp was in cod 4. cod 4 was before waw(in historical times, not when released). and the stg/mp was developed during the war, so i feel like the stg was prototype
STG-44 is the finished product. COD just sometimes gets the weapons names wrong.
Nero what are your thoughts on claymores being underpowered compared to cod4?
Currently going through the challenges and its miserable. I can do well with it but maps like overgrown or bloc don't lend themselves kindly to short to mid range weapons and I just get outgunned by everyone
hey Nero I am not sure about this at all but while using the mp44 I have had a good amount of clutch close range hip fire moments with it, makes me wonder if it does have a hidden good hip fire (without steady aim). In terms of effective range I would say within 15-20 feet. compared to other assault rifles I wonder which is best in a hip fire situation.
isnt the mp44 a weapon used in the cod ghosts campaign when you are under the sea with keegan
yeah, Been using this thing for an entire prestiege, currently 5 kills off the gold camo.
Its legit only good in hardcore, and even then, you want to be playing ream smart to get around its shortcomings.
It has 2 names because Hitler didn't want another smg in the german arsenal so he called it the stg instead so it could be an assault rifle
I love this gun so much that I used a permanent unlock, I love this gun in world at war
Hey when are we getting the other 6 maps for COD Remastered
1:28 on the left...what's the command to show weapon in that way on ps4?
Down on D pad
Love your vids Nero
MP44 confirms next cod will be set in ww2
ngl it was my favourite gun back in the day and once I get used to the kick again, it will be my go to gun for snd
Skorpion is a hidden gem...
Dem Dicks Exactly! Scorpion is so powerful
So is tehe Mini Uzi with acog. Best gun in the game.
Best gun in the game my ass. AK-47 2 shot kill and good recoil.
ExoGhost It was a joke homie. The gun is awful lol.
stg-44/mp44 is actually the same gun in the real world but for whatever reason. has two names. maybe because the Germans wanted to keep the gun series going because the mp40 was the primary submachine gun developed by the Germans and I believe the stg-44 and the mp40 were created by the same scientist(s)
M249 saw and m60 these guns seemed to be more popular back in the original game but I have yet to see people using them in normal games I've see a decent amount of people using the rpd but haven't see any other lmg's being used.
most underused has to be m14, never see it get used but it's one of my favourites
chr_isG i remembered using that gun in the original cod, that gun was op
its just like the mk14 from mw3, overpowered if you use it properly
