Any tips on what weapons to use. I'm still using my starting weapon in support that I have a few unlocks for. I have unlocked a few more weapons but have yet to really try them. I was going to try and work my easy through the classes one at a time, but may just mix it up a bit now instead.

I once joined a server running damavand peak and insta died 4 times on the trot from a sniper the other end of the tunnel using a pistol.

I just wish they would ps off and get their own server. wkers.

Kind of like "how long is a piece of string" as a question.

Trial and error my friend. My favourite gun in the game is the m416 (1000+ kills) but jinx can't use it and conversely he loves the pp200 and I just hate it.

The famas is good when you get it apparently though I personally couldn't hit the side of a barn with it.

For me the best combo is fore grip and flash suppressor but again to each their own. Scar h is poular for engineers and so is the m249 for support.

Sorry if that is no too helpful but it really is trial and error to find a gun that suits your gameplay.

Most important of all - DO YOUR JOB. always always repair, heal, resupply and soflam depending on class.

Players fulfilling their roles are game winners. Team work and doing your job makes all the difference in the world . (the points are nice too smile)

I wanted to unlock the L85 just because I'm ex-Army and it was my daily drive, so to speak - it's also turned into one of my favourite weapons in the game.

In close maps I do like the USAS-12 and for everything else M416.

Thanks for the advice. I always try to PTFO and my role. Am I wrong to assume that the weapons you unlock as you progress are more powerful, or are they just new toys to pay with. Finding it hard to pry myself away from my m217 as I have the most unlocks for it.

I don't agree with that. Pre patch maybe but post patch anything more than burst fire and it kicks like a mule. Having said that, I do have my second highest assault gun kills with it (95%pre patch), so it's far from a bad gun

And just or the record, 3sixty owned me too last night. I think we ended metro 2-8, and at was with us controlling all 3 flags for most if the game.

Vengeance wil be mine shoot

Apologies to the PHers, I joined last night and switched teams to be against you as it was 9v5 and we were panning them.

Was good fun though, and that knife Stagpump was hilarious. I think you were going to knife my teammate, I spawned on him and instantly got the knife animation.... great timing!

Precisely right I was chasing your squad mate and you spawned between us. A bit of a cheap shot but considering you were something like 15- 3 up for the night at that point when opportunity knocks.....bandit

Can I ask do you remember when you got me in the upper cabin at E on Damavand peak and if so could you tell me what it looked like.

It is one of those 50/50 situations I'm sure I should have won.

From my perspective I started shooting you in the back before you pulled the trigger. I have had a lot of those and this is the first time I could ask what it looked like from their prospective.

Just curious.

I span round and saw you, then strafed to the left and circled you. I think it was more the strafing made you miss a few and I got a hit on your head so it did more damage. Guess it was a combo of things really

GOING IN!!

For a good long session of cider and gaming which for some reason also heralds a slow march to ineptitude.

Go Figure!!

That was an interesting read, and I suspect some of it can be developed into a viable anti-hack. When I used to play CS, spectating someone in first person was a fairly easy way of telling who was cheating, with those kind of stats you could soon tell if somebody is at least using some sort of aim guide.

What's interesting, is that in the real world (Army) you only ever get taught to fire single shot or short burst - even with support level weapons. I play the same way as I was taught and it fits right in.

The SMGs you get as Engineers are purely secondary weapons for defending yourself when you're in a fix - drivers and storemen would be issued with the same. Or, they'd be chosen by SF guys depending on the role.

With GPMGs, you are fire support but the game doesn't work in this way (with no tactics or section orders) so they've become assault weapons really.
