G3 Attachments
No Attachments:
The G3 has good iron sights that are very similar to those of the MP5. While it can be difficult to pick off enemies at very distant ranges, the sights are good enough to lend 25 kills in a short amount of time, which opens up the red dot sight.
Red Dot Sight - 25 Kills
A toss up with the ACOG depending on player style, this sight is effective as far as you can see, and can be used to take out just about any enemy.

Silencer - 75 kills
Even though it forces use of the iron sights, the silencer is so effective on the G3 that it makes up for it. Combined with UAV Jammer, this attachment turns the G3 into a silent, elegant tool of death.
However, do be aware: the G3 with a silencer on it has a glitch. Its knife has about a 90% miss rate, even if you stab them directly in the chest when they are standing still. If you find yourself knifing, you will want to remember to switch to your side arm/secondary weapon just for a half a second, as the glitch does not carry on to your second weapon. This glitch is only when the G3 is silenced.

Advance Combative Optical Gunsight (ACOG) - 150 kills
Providing 2X zoom, many prefer the ACOG scope over other G3 attachments, as it can't hurt the close-range efficacy of this weapon and does bring its realistic range to somewhere near that of the average sniper shot. Recoil on this weapon is low, so if you can deal with the "drift" associated with the ACOG scope, it's a good choice. For the average shot, though, it's gamer preference as to whether the red dot or ACOG scope comes up a winner.

Maps
Ambush: An amazing G3 map, just as good as it is for sniping. Try not to walk around too many corners, and either situate yourself on top of buildings overlooking the central road or staring down streets to rack up kills.
Backlot: The G3 does fairly well here; just be sure to set claymores and take your time.
Bloc: The G3 does fairly well here as either a sniper or a sniper hunter, moving through the buildings. Just be careful not to face off against anyone with a shotgun or automatic weapon.
Bog: Stay toward the edges of the map (away from the buildings) and kill off snipers and assault troops alike. The blood runs on this terrible, terrible map.
Countdown: A really good map, as it gives you a lot of mid-range shots to pop off.
District: Along the two main streets, you can be a deadly weapon with the G3. Watch the exploding cars and use cover to your advantage.
Downpour: Stay back from the fray and watch as enemies run into your sights, or alternately creep around with your ghost class and wreak havoc.
Pipeline: Set claymores and treat this as if you were sniping.
Strike: Easily one of the best maps for the G3, just stare down the street and or set up shop in a building to get a quick rise in your K/D.
