Ranked server

After unlocking my second weapon. (spec Force & medic)  I have come to the conclusion what they are no better than the standard weapons. has anybody unlocked a weapon that they think WOW ?


What I am enjoying on ranked servers at the moment, is collecting medals.

To be honest the unlocks are a mixed bag...

The big .50 cal sniper rifle DOES make an impact the first time you snipe a Cobra pilot through the glass.

The G3 is great for CQB - but then yo miss the M203 grenade launcher.

My favourite unlock is the auto shotgun for Anti-tank - I find I don't dread those close quaters one-on-ones anmore with it.

(I also have the G36c and the SA80 - but have yet to use them.)

Here are my opinions of the unlocks I've got.  None of them I've found to be any better than the default weapons.  They just offer you a different way to play a particular class.

Assault G3
Pros: More accurate, and has greater knockdown power than the M16A2 and AK-47/101.
Cons: Smaller clips (20 rounds), and no grenade launcher.

Being full-auto, it's a great alternative to the USMC M16A2 if you can't get on with the three-round burst.  It's a bit like the AK in CS.  Great if you're patient with your shots and can aim.  Sucks if you prefer to spam your shots, because of the smaller clips.  And did I say no launcher :byesad:.

Support PKM
Pros: Excellent knockdown power, sounds mean.
Cons: Lower rate of fire, higher recoil, smaller clip.

You can't get as much lead in the air with this for suppressive fire.  Have to use shorter bursts due to the recoil, but when your shots do land, boy do they take down the other guy much quicker .

Medic L85A1
Pros: Full-auto, and great on single shot using the scope.
Cons: Lacks stopping power.

Offers an alternative to the three round burst of the USMC medic M16A2.  Better if you prefer to snipe at players.  Closer in you'll lose out against the more powerful assault rifles.  Probably better for the medic who's either playing as, or sticking with, an SL hanging back in the mobile-spawnpoint role.

I unlocked the sniper rifle today. I don't think it's any better than the US rifle.

But at lest it is better than the MEC piece of crap.

I think the M95 is pretty good. The damage is enormous. And yes, you can snipe players in choppers etc.

I've only played sniper on a handful of occasions, but I've brought down 2 choppers (they must've been damaged)...no unlocks for me

after I saw that sniper movie I thought I'd like to try it....it does help to follow the guidelines...

however...godknows how he hits the moving targets...cos I found it impossible...

back on topic...

I've never bothered with ranked servers....and don't plan to :narnar:
