Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

I've been doing that since the demo works very well. Now I tend to use the Eryx less since I unlocked the DOA-12.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

Well, heres my two- cents.

Would you rather have:

A. A game played with people who exploit the game

or

B. A game played with people who do a team effort and make it reasonably realistic.

I hope most of you picked B, which is my personal answer.

A is having the Eryx (or the "Nubcannon ((literally))) and shooting people right infront of you while jumping around like a fool.

B. is having snipers in strategic points and playing to A. Win and B. Survive and C. make it as realistic and fun as possible.

Eryx is used for Tanks, nothing more. Sure, you can clear out a bunker or something with one, but you should be reasonably far away.

I think you should play the game the way its ment to be played, not exploit it by being a douche.

The Splash damage on that thing needs to be improved. Its horable plus 3 shots with that thing to take down a tank?

2) missle dips down at a specific range
3) travels very slow

the eryx is more of a tube than the gp30. The gp30s more of a vagina.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

I'm chuckling at some of the people who have no love for the AT, and think they should have certain rules of engagement concerning their AT rockets. When people tell me to stop using my Eryx to shoot them I tell them to tell their team to stop using vehicles so I don't have to go AT. Simple as that. I unlocked the DAO which improves the CQC capabilities of the AT kit tenfold, but if I'm chasing an APC around the side of a building and you pop out of nowhere with your assault rifle in my face, guess what? You're going to get a SRAW sandwich! Since, like was said earlier, Engineers with landmines are largely nerfed because of dumbass players who run clean over mines (and punish the TK, naturally), AT is pretty much the only class I ever play on the Chinese maps. Ever played Dragon Valley? Or FuShe? Each base has at least one APC spawn at it, and some have an AA vehicle or tank to go along with it. I face an APC about three times as often as I do an actual infantry soldier. I love assault, it's easily my favourite kit, but it's worthless against vehicles. So it's either AT or spec ops, and while I really love the G36C, I don't really relish needing to be withing spitting distance of a vehicle before I can kill it, especially on maps like Songhua where if you run out to destroy one APC you're almost guaranteed that there's another one 10m behind it waiting to fry anything that gets close.

I do 'snipe' people with the rocket if I have to go really long-range on a non-moving/prone/not-paying-attention target, but usually I'll switch to the pistol for those kinds of kills. It's actually funny how many snipers don't bother moving when I fire the rocket straight at them. They just sit there like a deer in the headlights, awarding me with 2 free points.

Edit: Also I feel AT is the most underappreciated class in the game. In order to scrounge up a kill from a tank, it takes 2-3 rockets and a good hiding spot. On top of that, half the time the driver will pop out of the tank and a nearby medic or assault trooper will polish him off for the easy kill. Plus they get gypped out of hand grenades, so they can't even clear out an emplacement like every other class can. Yet when a vehicle comes rolling along and starts mowing over the medics, what's the first thing they start yelling (after "AAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!")? 'WHERE'S THE AT???.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

All I know is Ive been on both sides of the fence. You get pinned down by Armor only to spawn with the AT class and ahve tanks gone. Suddenly your useless. The SMG is crap, do the MArines even the MP5? Not as far as I know so, maybe, maybe SF but even then....


Anyway Ive been shot at plenty of time usually you have time to dodge them. Of course theres the occasional time when you suddenly see them and your prone and you just know. "Oh ****, Im screwed" Which is kinda cool seeing that bad boy fly right at you. And when you nail ppl with them at extreme range.....nothing feels better.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

The eryx is a horrible weapon up close due to the reload time...especially when you have the DAO-12 of utter rediculous unlocked...why kill 1 person with a rocket when you can wipe out a whole squad with a shotgun? :)

Couldn't agree with this more. Up close the DAO is far more efective. If I shoot someone with an AT round up close it's just because that was what I was holding when they showed up in front of me. Half the time it doesn't even work because, unlike the noob tube, you need to get a nearly direct hit.

Anyone who thinks the AT rockets are an easy way to kill in close quarters needs to get a clue. It's the DAO that's an easy way to get a kill at close quarters. :)

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

nothing annoys me more then a bunch of noobs hoping around with Eryx shoting at anything that moves it gets a little anoying to come around a corner and get a rocket in your chest
