Should've created a poll so we could see how many people like what.
Of course there was one of those already ages ago...

Well for all his bragging Field is a really good player, so at least his bragging is warranted. It's the people that say things like, 'OMG I totally pwnzorz at this gaem I mow down squads all teh time even with mah nife!11!!' and when you play with/against them they're always getting beaten bloody and are usually the ones whining most about haxorz. Just my BF experience anyway.

At any rate, I don't think I even have a favourite weapon anymore. I would have said the Clark, but since the LMGs aren't as sucky as they were with the 1.25 patch (but still not OP like they were in the initial release) they're fun to use again, and I <3 the sound that the Shuko makes when I fire it. I like all the ARs, although TBQH I haven't noticed much of an improvement in 1.4...it still seems to be as sporadic as ever, but it's still fun to use. I like all three snipers and the Lambert, too, and since engineer is my favourite overall kit naturally I like the SMGs. The only weapon in this game that I don't like is the P33. That thing just pisses me off. :hmm:

But I guess if I had to choose one favourite, I'd still go with the Clark because I've always been a shotgun whore, and plus the close-quarters pins are just too cool. :)

Don't spam shots like with the Takao and you should be fine... I prefer it anyway

Yeah, that's probably my problem. Whenever I'm using a pistol it's because I've run out of ammo with my rifle and need to finish the guy off so I'm usually in close-quarters spamming range so my instinct is to hammer the LMB which, as you said, doesn't work well with the P33.

The Scar did improve a lot over the last patch. I remember someone saying: Shooting the Scar feels like swinging a Lightsaber.

I still don't like it. lol

My all time favorite weapon is probably the Moretti and Park 52 SR's. Bigger clip, less reload time. I noticed the accuracy is a bit off, but that can be compensated for easily. I am primarily a sniper with my clan buddy; favorite combo is probably

Sniper Rifle
Cloak
Scope Stabilizer
Grenades
Knife

Reason: Moretti and Park 52 have 5 rounds per clip as opposed to the Zeller, they leave no tracer round and actually blend in pretty well with most other small arms in battles. They reload much faster and their fire rate is decent for a SR. I will only use the Zeller if I need to give heavy sniper fire. The Zeller is enough to make anyone get down like Arnold always says.

Most hated weapon: Voss LAR

Reason: Way to powerful, its also not hard to use at all. Standard it takes about 3-4 shots to kill someone; thing has no recoil so you can let loose, easily a barrage of 10 rounds in less then 2 seconds. Usually within that time the target is just starting his sprint. Basically, people are lucky to survive a Voss contact; even luckier if their at close range. I am not opposed to EA nerfing it; as I think it should be done. It's power should be reduced in the very least, or space the fire rate a little so it isn't so one sided.

Pros: It gets the job done, efficiently.

Baur is my fav

Amen. I've always been a sniper type, and the Baur is my favorite 'sniper' rifle.
And for anyone who says "The Baur's not a sniper rifle"........ I'd think again.

One sided..like a sniper or LMG user at close range against a voss? They are kind of supposed to die in that situation. The carbine is good but not made to easily go head to head against assault rifles, caus you have that other stuff in your kit like mines and all that.

Amen. I've always been a sniper type, and the Baur is my favorite 'sniper' rifle.

Yeah the baur's an "assault rifle." You can spray your clip at someone while moving and kill them from 10m away, but then it doesnt kill someone in 1 shot from 80m away. not a sniper rifle.

But it can kill someone 80m away with TWO shots... No gun other than the sniper rifles can beat that.

[Twizzz]

The Baurs a beast - no question.

The recoil makes it hard to use. The POWERERERer, makes it too hard not to use.

Dawg-awn catch 22.

On the same note, the Herzog Shottys the extact same situation. It can be a beast - but tends to let a fella down when it's most needed.

Does it matter what kit you use when you die before you realize what is going on? The moment I see a Voss or hear a Voss being fired in the vicinity around me I usually go cloak, but if it's firing at me I just don't have the time, cause I be dead.

If someone is THAT far away it would be better just to shoot rockets at them caus that makes it harder for YOU to get shot in the head while your attacking some distant target. The only positive about not using rockets at that distance is maybe for not giving away your position as much but then if enemies hear shooting in a certain area and see that theres no teammates in that spot they know your there anyways.:|:

Personally, even though they are really effective, i think this game would be better/ more balanced if it didnt have PK rockets. They are kind of a lame weapon in my opinion. Removing rockets would make LMGs, Ganz and snipers more useful.

[Fingulfin]

It might be more efficient, it really all depends on how much ammo you have and how aware the enemy is to your presence.

it really is funner to actually shoot them anyways

well im just wondering what weapon your using when you go cloak on hearing a voss being fired. If your using a carbine i dont really understand your logic but a sniper rifle would make sense.

I dont really know how someone gets killed "before they realize whats going on" I mean if your facing them and you dont know what killed you then your probly kind of a nub, and then if someone blasts you in the back with a machine gun you kind of should die and not be able to react because they caught you off gaurd.

Rifle rockets are a minor inconvenience at most. Like the Voss; it doesn't take a lot of skill to use them; but most people don't think of using them in the situations they should be used in. Their also pretty underpowered given the fact their explosives.

The Voss' fire rate is the highest in the game as far as I know (The SMG may be higher) It is also an assault rifle, giving it a lot more firepower than the SMG itself. All it takes is about 3-4 shots for the Voss to kill, 2 seconds for the voss to get off 5 rounds according to the resident Voss user friend of mine; 3-4 shots can kill. 1 shot to the head = death.

Rate of fire for the Voss = 900 the SMG is about 600. This makes the Voss the fastest gun in the game that people can unlock. It's also very much a close range, spray and pray gun. So tell me, given you suddenly come face to face to someone with the Voss and have apx 2 seconds before his rifle completely pwns you; and you don't have the Voss. What would you do?
