Volume of fire is the key to suppressive fire. Especially in urban maps the MG owns if u know how to use it. U can get hits from 200 meters if u want to, but often the guys has a chance to run away since the 5.56mm bullet doenst pack that much punch. But when u see a group of enemies just put some lead in the air, if u get enough hits and they die by someone else nades or whatever u still get kill assist points so dont be shy using that weapon.
If u dont know what kind of bullet spread it has try once to shoot in the water or wall in some map so u see what ur weapons is usefull for.

Ammo bag is ur best mate too. I usually run with one in my hands and throw them into places people often walk and in and around flags and positions where people stick around and shoot like the building in Sharqi peninsula.

Usually I get like 50-70 points (lonewolf) and much more if in a team. Most points are from resupply and kill assists, rest are from kills.

Inaccurate? Sure the SAW is, but the PKM is not. You jsut have to use the gun a lot and experiment with it to see what fits and what distances it can hit at.( usually 1-90 meters is what i found out ) Anyways if you like Support get the PKM it owns All!!!I take out guys all the time with it in like two shots. :evil:

Another tip is if you see a sniper on your team in a good position, get to where he is (without giving him away, and watching out for claymores) and drop a few ammo packs nearby. Then he can stay there for ages and rack up loads of kills without coming down for ammo. You also get a few supply points for this.

I play alot of Support also, I find that getting into a Gunship or a Transport helo works great, have your pilot swing low around firefights and you will automatically resupply Squads of guys in one shot.



APC's and Tanks work, If I'm not driving the tank, I usually stay ducked untill we hit ground troops.


Key point already covered above: THROW YOUR AMMO BAGS....if you see a sniper, toss him 2 or 3 if he's in a good spot. If you see a spec ops, find a hidden location within 10M of him and drop 2. Assault guys will eat you up, they love endless nades.

If your charging an area, your the guy lay'n cover fire, you got lots of rounds and plenty of fire rate...get lead in the air.


Great thread!

FYI: best score in one round to date: 159 Kit used:Support

i try not to throw bags close to hidden snipers, simply to be curtous and not give away there postition to an enemy. Ive knifed countless people because i see bags fall out of nowhere and just run behind them and get ready to shank.
