I’m interested to know what gun everyone is using with what attachments ?
I seem to be having the most joy with the scar,light attachment , and a scope x 6
Although I’m undecided about the scope as I have accumulated a x4 as well, it’s the gun I have chalked up the most kills with, and the scope effectively turns it into a sniper rifle, which is good at close quarters as well off the hip
But should I be trying to master some others ??
I seem to get capped a lot by the M249
(look at me getting all weirdy beardy with numbers an stuff)
November 5, 2011 at 10:48 pm #80276airmessyParticipantThe scopes take longer to aim through the eye, its coded that way, so i avoid them and go for a halo thingy doda whatsit. F2000 is my favorate gun so far, just need to unlock it on the pc. I always use a grip and i use the flashlight on the ps3. If you cant beat them join them and fark me everyone uses them there.
November 6, 2011 at 8:05 am #80277XDCMcQueenParticipantI seem to get killed alot with the SCAR H , and my weapon of choise is the M249 or the M240B, the 240 has larger rounds but the 249`s rate of fire is quicker,wang on the forgrip and a short to medium scope and your good to go.
November 6, 2011 at 10:07 am #80278AlzirKeymasterI haven’t quite managed to get over using the SCAR with the engineer kit, which you seem to play mostly, as I find there’s a significant drop in damage between it and the G36C. I have seen some people completely owning with the G36C though. For both of these guns I prefer the reflex RDS, which is the first scope unlocked, however I’m slowing trying out the IRNV sight and finding it quite useful as well.
For assault I’ve just unlocked the F2000 but finding it difficult to use with it’s standard ironsights, so for a while at least I’m going to continue with the AEK, which is reasonable in close quarters, even without a sight attached. I had been using the UMP with RDS, which hasn’t been as badly nerfed as some suggest, but I do find it hard adapting to it’s damage output after any prolonged period of using the SCAR. This is partly why I’ve reverted to normal assault rifles.
I’ve played less than 5 minutes as support, but I would probably equip a universal gun, like the UMP, until I’ve ranked it up enough to use that sniping cannon I’ve seen Paddy using. I’m proud to say I’ve not once spawned as a sniper, so can’t comment except that I’ve seen some good snipers (Gary goat for example) using te SKS and SV98 quite a lot. They seem to be what kill me a lot as well.

November 9, 2011 at 12:37 pm #80280AlzirKeymasterHaven’t tried changing my rate of fire on any gun yet but since the weekend i’ve been loving the infrared sight.
Paddy, where are you getting your information regarding upcoming nerfs and boosts to guns though? I’ve been watching a few sites but none that have provided any information on game patches.

The mines are good, though I haven’t used them much (I’ve been on the end of them more often), but overall the engy is a very good class. In all other versions of BF I played medic as standard, but I just can’t live without RPG because of vehicles in BF3. It’s so much more useful than ammo or health.
Let me also rise to the possible troll, and challenge this nonsense about RPGing infantry. There’s nothing wrong with it in my opinion, except maybe slightly too much splash damage on the US SMAW, which I think will eventually be nerfed. RPG’s and rockets in BF3 are nothing like the LAW in BFV. The splash damage is fair, the reload time is long. Unrealistically a hit near you doesn’t actually kill unless hurt already. Using the RPG at close range hurts you as much as them, and much more often than not results in your death, as you can’t switch weapons quickly (the exception to this is in hardcore mode where the damage from a rocket kills, even if it misses by a few metres – more realistic some might say). The use of the RPG in BF3 vs infantry is normally when you shoot someone and they dive behind an obstacle. A rocket/rpg will damage that obstactle and sometimes kill the person hiding behind it, though only if they’re already hurt or the obstactle collapses in such a way that results in environmental damage.
When watching this, did anyone see a problem with the RPG?

November 10, 2011 at 8:53 pm #80284XDCSprogParticipantI dont see the problem either…..a good squad with a good medic (or 2) should be able too cope

November 11, 2011 at 1:21 pm #80287nOmParticipantThink part of the problem is I’m suffering a little bit of mouse lag which i think is due to gfx card struggling a bit. Love the gun as well max, would like the A4 more but 3 shots don’t seem to put people down….. could be above issue..
On phone so sorry for spelling and grammar!
November 22, 2011 at 11:03 pm #80288XDCSprogParticipantWhat’s the most accurate runnin and gunnin weapon of choice ???
I’m averaging about 13% at the moment…..but I’m moving in the right direction……and would be interested in what gun offers the least spray ??
November 23, 2011 at 12:21 pm #80289XDCiNSANEParticipantM249 for me, not that i like running and gunning though
