I will clearly answer this for yall. I recently have been using it for shyts and giggles due to trying to find things to keep me interested in the game and i must say if you fire it like a 14 (if you notice while firing full auto it has the almost exact same recoil as an M14 just a sec or two slower on how quick it levels out at the end)

Best thing to do is aim for the groin/stomach area and by the time the recoil levels you should be high chest/head area. I bet before this past 2 weeks i've used the 552 sd maybe 3 times but since i started messing with it it's rare if i get less than 10 kills with it because people in firefights with you get careless when they hear it's a 552 sd. We all do that (don't deny it) when you are in a firefight ( or atleast this is what i do ) i always listen to the gun fire so i know what gun im going against. Certain weapons call for different strategys in close range or long range combat. If you notice when you get in close combat with the 552sd the seal generally gets over confident and does not zig zag as much and this is your chance to head shot him because by this time its leveled out recoil wise. Trust me liek i said aim it like a M-14 ( groin/stomach) and watch it rise and level at the high chest/head area and watch your kills also rise :D

I've actually found the 552SD to be very innacurate when you're sitting still - at least compared to it's M4 counterpart.


Anyway, I think the 552SD is best used in burst mode. If you're an M14 freak than by all means blow your lode like LuFeng and ToxicWarrior here into the walls, but if you aren't an M14 spammer like myself then I recommend burst mode (if not single shot). If you're sitting completely still your bullets won't be right on the dot, but compared to most other Terrorist-only weapons it's better because it's quieter.

Oh yeah and while I'm at it...

General rules of thumb:
- When fighting a Terrorist, keep your distance.
- When fighting a SEAL, get as close as possible.

Big long explanation that you only have to read if you don't believe me for whatever reason...
in other words LuFeng and/or AL GIORDINO:
- When fighting a Terrorist, keep your distance. All terrorist-only weapons are inaccurate at long range, and for the most part fire fast to compensate for that. The chances of you hitting someone after unloading 50 rounds in a certain direction are good anyway, but if you're at point blank - the chances of those 50 rounds going into you are a lot more... let's say prominent.

- When fighting a SEAL, get as close as possible. All SEAL-only weapons are very accurate weapons. In order to be good with a SEAL weapon, a player needs to aim and shoot - it's very reliable to have your crosshair on someone and then kill them. SEAL weapons also shoot slower than terrorist weapons (save for the 552[SD] and AK[47/74] that very few people actually use on any given SOCOM game anyway), so to make it harder for them to hit you - make them rely more on their point-blank shoot-on-a-dime accuracy at close range. Spray and pray for everyone!

Don't hate me cause im good and own seals with thier ***** SD's while they hide and cower from afar! Not my fault yall can't man up and fight toe to toe, just seems yall need more practice with aim while hiding or close combat skills, im sure me, al and tox can help ya out Plus apparently you don't play with me much i rarely use the M14 now, i prefer my AK...this way its less whining while i whipe the floor with those ***** seals :D -Lu

lmao my personal strategy with the 552sd is to hide. then, *gasp* i wait till i cant get a head shot and i pull it! lol or else i just bayonet them to make sure it get a hit

it takes 4 bullets to kill someone with 552 sd but people just don't expect a terror with 552 sd. Once in dg i shot a seal and FF was on and the seal started to shoot his own teammate and killed him. and then he was voted off but it was hilarious.

and if you see a guy standing still crouch aim and shoot a head shot he won't know what hit him. And if you see a seal from a distance shoot in 2 bullet bursts and be sure to only hit his body so he can't see where you are. because unlike the m4a1 sd its never to late to turn around and kill your ambusher so be carefull. And when you see a teammate in a firefight crouch stand still and shoot carefully its the best assist gun there is.

And ambush your opponent form the side our the back. Don't attack him in his face you'll kill him but you will loose health. And retreat in a big fire fight agains 2 or more seals just drop a nade and flee and go into another ambush position. because if you don't your deadmeat fighting agains a superior M4 and ak 105's is hard and takes head shots.

I am getting pretty good with this gun. Thanks for the tips.

[.>?Nate?<.]

Thanks for all the tips guys..

It is a tough gun to use, but with practice comes skill and i am seeing a definite improvement!

[JoeyZasa]

I've always used this gun. And the tactics that are in this thread are great tips. However, I haven't heard anybody talk about the laggy maps i.e. Bitter Jungle and Vigilance. It's impossible to use the 552SD in that kind of environment.

Remember to burst of single shot at long range though
