Thanks!

With the 552, you must ambush. Wait where you will be unseen, and once an enemy passes, you may attack. Shoot for the head, and he will be dead before he can turn around. As long as you're not seen by anyone else, you could even re-use the hiding spot.
Always remember to wait until he's past you. That way he will be far more surprised, and he'll have to turn around. If you're camping in a base and he has a bomb, wait for him to start planting before shooting him.

Yeah with the 552SD you have to kill up close. The accuracy sucks. Plus its weak. So you have a gun thats weak and whose accuracy sucks. The great thing is the silence, it's the only Terrorist gun thats silenced.

Your generally going to want to use the 552SD when you camp as T, not during a rush. If an enemy is far, get closer or fire in very well placed bursts. The first bullet or two is the most accurate, so if you tap the trigger slowly and stay unseen, thats the best way to get a guy from afar. The worst is when your chasing a guy, and he's just out of accurate range but you start shooting anyway, hoping to get lucky and get the kill... but then he just spins around and fires his far more accurate Seal gun at you and kills you instantly. So stay down and stay undetected. Make shots count because the gun is weak as hell. Aim for the head.

Also if your camping and waiting for guys to get close, make sure you have your nades out so the enemies gun doesn't go up. If their gun goes up, they'll be looking around for you a lot more. Then when your ready, hit Quick 1 to pull out your 552SD and shoot them before they can react!

As for Seals and using silenced weapons, again, the key is to stay undetected. Also try and get headshots. The Seals M4A1SD is so accurate and fast, it's easy to keep your crosshairs generally at head level and pop guys before they see or hear you. I actually like rushing with the M4A1SD and trying to get behind the enemy. So I'll straight up rush one side of the map head on, take out any guys around, and then move way far into enemy territory, and then come back up behind guys who are looking towards the Seals side. This works great. A lot of people don't like using the SD for rushes but I think it works great! Imagine being behind enemy lines and using an SD, you'll stay undetected a lot longer than using a regular weapon. Plus if you get onto their side and then camp there, they won't expect you at all, and you can sit in your bush or behind your rock and just pick off Terrorists as they run around aimlessly looking for you in the opposite way.

Get good with sniping with the M4A1sd, it's a deadly sniper when zoomed in and can be used very effectively. Just go for the head, as usual.

what i suggest is pretty much the same as these guys did for the 552sd just sit in a hidden spot and then when you see an enemy pass go after em.. if you have an m4sd you have better accuracy therefore you can stay in your unseen position and shoot from there..

Try to stay away from firefights is all i can say.

Strafe back and forth at a decent speed. And always aim for the head with the gun, youc an get some good headshots with that m4 of yours.

camping is the way to go with a 552SD

AL says it perfectly, as per usual.

I would just like to comment about my personal experiences with SDs. I love the SDs to death. From the HK5-SD to the SR25-SD, they cover all grounds of combat. If you learn to use the SDs even in a rushing instance you will be unstopable. I use SDs for practice any time I can. It has come to the point where they are my primary weapons of choice in most situations.

The one problem people find with SDs are the limited spray fire and blind fire ability. Up close, it is nearly impossible to strafe and fire madly and take out any enemy. You need to be calm and focused at all times. Always, and I mean always, aim high on the body. Chesy and Head shots are your best bet for the SDs and any gun for that matter. Primarily you will want distance between you and your enemy, but try and get confident up close. There will be a point where you get jumped around a corner or on stairs and will need pin-point accuracy and quick reflexes to take them out.

Do not go crazy! If you are sucking it up with an SD on one map, then simply put it away. I find that if you use the SD too much you will go crazy. The SDs have advantages. They help you become more in tone with your bullets and crosshairs. You will focus much more on body shots then spray firing in combat. Most of all, you will find you get more headshots and general kills/deaths with your new accuracy skills. If you really feel you cannot use an SD for a level or round, then don't. Don't force it down your throat. Give yourself some time to get adjusted, but don't give up on it either.

Specifically for the 552, try and stay behind the enemy. Eventually the seal will make a full revolution and measure up his surroundings. As you start to shoot try and prone or get into foliage. You do not want to be spotted with a 552-SD in a firefight. The 552, unlike other SDs, is less accurate even with silencers in place. You need headshots more than ever. Take burst shots and always aim high on the body. Try and get your seal when he turns toward you as it is easier to hit the head from the front of the body. As Al said earlier, use it in camping situations. When I say camping, I mean holding down a specific area, not staying in the computer room for example. Stick to this gun on more open maps and areas to hide or sneak up on oponents. Night maps are a big plus when using this weapon.

Good luck!

552sd

Wait till the guy gets passed you. walk to him so your in a straight line. stand still and then you must shoot. if you stand still they 552sd is pretty accurate but always ambush and wait for a straight line aim for the head.

This gun sucks on the run. If your follow someone, DIVE TO THE GROUND. Go into 1st person (not a must, but w/e) and start firing, your accuracy is going to be a lot better, and when he turns around looking for you, he's not going to see a big stinking terrorist running right at him(EASY TARGET). When you dive, try and dive in a well covered place (example, not right under a light post--blizzard-- where he could easily see you)
When he locates you, tab triangle, and look for cover. (Unless you put a few into him already, then by all means, take that basterd out)

EDIT: Your prob not going to win in a firefight, so if you wanna, pull out your DE.50, you might stand a better chance..
