Deagles... because they're dead accurate (once you learn the bullet arc) and give two-hit kills if you get headshots.

1. SOCOM : probably fastest reload in the game, with fast firing and reasonable damage.
2. Ruger/M79 : the ruger because of its ownage against damaged players, and m79 because of its arcing and because its fxcking fun
3. Deagles : kills someone with four bullets (2 shots) and its fast firing and reload.

i dont care much for the rest

anything is fine except the [IMAGE]ing Minigun

March 1, 2005, 6:38 am
Spas, because it is spread fire, is a shot gun, and mainly because of its close range combat power.
Socom is my secondary as it has long-ish range and nice power.
If I see a Ruger, auto, or a pair of Degales lying around, I throw away my Socom and get them too.

m79, yup needs skill. Shotgun is a good cqb weap and finally, the mp5, wild fast and fun to use.

My favourito weapon is the minigun, because it is excellent exploitation of bink effect. People don't realise how much skill it requires to kill someone with a minigun!?! Unlike M79, too easy to learn to use!

MercyM
March 1, 2005, 11:27 am
AK74, because it's pretty fast, powerful and lots of ammo

117
March 1, 2005, 11:49 am
Pretty fast? i thought that thing was sluggish! Nevermind, its ur opinion. MP5 fires way faster and is a good close range weap. But the AK-47 is good nonetheless.

Ezko
March 1, 2005, 2:03 pm
Again, minigun fires way faster than MP5 :)

March 1, 2005, 2:20 pm
Shotgun... not only can it be great in team games to push forward your teammates, you can also do a somewhat similar thing to minigun flying with it, and of course it's great for close combat. Also it's spray is good for shooting over hills, and when you learn to aim with it over large distances people will be heavily annoyed by it..

March 1, 2005, 5:50 pm
barret by far is my favourite weapon weather it be looking after a flag holder or defending my flag, or racing arround the map doing some insane crack shots during mid-flight on campers and flag holders.

Also traveling down tunles and small spaces is my speciality as people allway make the same mistakes and get themselves killed :D

also its fun taking out campers who think they can take me on they underestimate the skill i have with a barret :D

also on the bigger CTF maps with 2 or 3 levels and bridges i love taking out people who have captured my flag from below to have my flag smoothly fall into my hands to be returned for a team mate to score.

Weapons:
1). M79 - I can pull off almost any shot with this, from incredible distances, its so easy to aim! I find the barrett hard to aim though, so... Also, the Arc is very helpful against Barrett Campers.

2). Ruger - Again, Incredibly easy to aim, and very powerful, fast shooting and reload times.

3). MP5 - The ultimate weapon to take out campers and M79ers in my Opinion.

4). Desert Eagles - I used to be very good with these, 6 or 7 months ago, before I starting using the M79... but their still a favourite weapon.

5). Knife - Um... I love killing people with it...

6). Minimi - A great amount of bullets and Power, for those who are accurate.

I usually use the Steyr AUG for tRaQs's reasons, but in some situations and/or maps the bullets aren't powerful enough, so I also use the SPAS-12 since it can rain DFA instantly (head shot = lethal) and can reload uniquely, although there is that reload-shoot drawback that I've yet to master. If I see that my team's winning (I always play CTF), then I practice with the Ruger 77 or Desert Eagles at my leisure :-)
I almost never respawn with primary weapons which take a while to reload.

I use the M72 LAW as my secondary weapon, all the time B-) It looks awesome when it strikes a Soldat and it has the farthest range out of all the secondaries. I just can't imagine the Combat Knife as a 'nade which slows with distance, so I suck at it :-P

Socom Mk23, it's my favorite backup, always works out in a pinch, and for some reason very few people seem to use it. I guess the knife is just "cooler" to them.

March 12, 2005, 2:04 am
I really like the MP5/SOCOM combo, especially after I roughly figured out how to aim the MP5 to kill people off-screen. I'm also decent with an AK, but only because I sometimes get in a rush and select it instead. The M-79 is nice, when I've gotten into a rush and somehow selected it. For some reason, when I don't even think about it, all my shots are dead on, but as soon as I do, I start failing miserably and get killed.

I luuvvv..:

M79: + Easy to use if u got great timeing. One-kill wepon :P. Can kill 1-6 player in one shoot if u get luck :D
-Slow realode, then u need a quick wepon in secondary....

Knife:+ One-kill :P The knife goes like m79 bullet so it easy to use. Realized that it was good when i did head shot in air not throwing, then i trowed and get double kill :D
- You loose it if u throw it away...but u can pick it up anyway.

i like the ruger because it does a good bit of damage per shot and it takes just a second or two to reload. the automatics are alright but they do less damage per round so if your in close to someone whos good with a shotgun or one of those gay m79s (i dont like it b/c of the reload time) you are pretty much toast.

Ruger : Long range, Accurate & Powerful

Desert Eagles (Deagles) : Powerful, Accurate, Medium Range.
Law : Easily my best secondary, Powerful, long range, accurate.

I never thought myself to be good with semi-autos or any secondary but the LAW, but the Deagle/Knife combo suddenly turns me into the God of Destruction.

Although I'm pretty decent with everything else.

Why of couse I play for the challenge, and it's surrely a challenge to handle Spas's and M79's slow bullet speed and trajectory. Unlike the ordinary Mr. Sprayer with his overerpowerd AK, Minimi and Steyr that plays soly for winning and being a heartless b4stard.

Yes. I whine about weapon balance everywhere. :]

I have recently discovered the beauty of a Ruger/SOCOM combo. If you happen to hit your target once with the Ruger, but miss the other shots, you can whip out the SOCOM and finish them off with one or two shots.

Deleted User
March 17, 2005, 3:02 pm
In close quarter battles, like Infiltration I usually pick the MP5, or the SPAS, as they are powerful in confined spaces, and even more so with richochete, but if I dont feel like doing much in CTF games I usually pick the Barret (modded as a H&K MSG-90), as it is the weapon with the least rick over long distances. When I am interested in the battle it is either the Steyr AUG (Modded as a Colt M4) or the AK-74, good power and good distance.

Desert Eagles, I move really quick in the game(thanks to a low ping:D) and I just run,roll, and jump around and over them, one shotters and minigunners don't stand a chance, esecially when i grenade lure.

Barret. It has an almost perfect shot, and you can get distance on your targets. I would still use it if it were weaker then the ruger, I use it for the scope.

I don't agree, more people hate being killed by M79, maybe they hate one shot one kill weapons. But it is not easy to shot a M79, if you fail you are dead cause long reload time; in addition, short distance range it's difficult to fight against other weapons. But people still consider it a noob weapon, but it's difficult to get air hits, more when enemies are up over you.

Although, I prefer M79. My first weapon, a good one for starters and so powerful if get skilled with it. I use other weapons depending on the map, Steyr AUG for Chernobyl and Equinox, good for tunnel fights (spraying a bit :P). I take other weapons, AK 74, MP5, sometimes Dessert Eagles or Barret. I'm not as skilled with them as with M79.

March 21, 2005, 9:03 pm
I generally hate power weapons. Barrett, Ruger, partly. M79, Deagles, HATE. I'll only use one of them when I'm desperate.

Most of the time, there is definitely no replacement for the MP5 for me. Fast fire rate, fast reload time, decent power, just the right amount of spray when standing (=P) and 100% accurate when crouching or prone. The less-than-infinite range is the only thing to NOT like about it, and who really cares about that?

Edit: LOL, this is the 72nd reply to this thread. I get a point.

March 24, 2005, 10:54 am
i dont see what is better about the mp5 than the steyr. it does fire faster, but the clip is the same size, causing it to expend ammo faster than steyr. also the bullet is weak

117
March 24, 2005, 11:17 am
Yeah, but it can outshoot you before. Besides, little accuracy can work(this is a 2d game!) so it can spray a wide area. The steyr fires slower, so it's intervals in an arc patter would be bigger, thus increasing your chances of missing. the mp5 should fire fast enough, and besides, its reload is faster too.
