Re: New Player Here, Advice?
the L85 is your friend... you may be tempted to unlock the M95 sniper rifle.. don't.. its a waste.. make your first unlock the L85.. play medic.. medic.. medic.. and keep YOUR health up at all times.. a medic can have a very long life span.. if played correctly..and play MEC.. the action comes to you.. and the weapons are better..Comment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
Ok...since I dont know much about the game yet, Im not picking up on what may be sarcasm here.
m203 = The Assults Gernade Launcher?
And using it is good or bad? (without sarcasm?)
Should I take it that there are people who abuse this weapon or something?Comment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
using the M203 is BAD.. you will be extremely hated... the only time i ever have used assault.. is if i get revived and thats the kit i end up with..
#1 advice though... get a GOOD MOUSE.. such as.. a Microsoft intellimouse explorer 4.0... or one of those funky mx logitec ones people talk about.. programmable buttons are your best friends.... your mouse will greatly affect your game.. make it a good one.Comment

Speaking of 'unlocks'...Originally posted by ConscriptVirus
What are they? How often do they come? Are there different unlocks with each class? Will it tell you that you got a new unlock? If there are different unlocks with diff classes....do you get better guns with certain classes? Super guns? BFG-2000s?
p.s. I had a HORRID time trying to navigate and figure out the menus (man that is an awful design) so thats why I ask if it auto-notifies you.Comment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
right when you get to lance corporal you will get an unlock. when you logina gain it will ask which gun you want. the first you should get is g3 or g36c because they are really good. l85 is rubbish. i use vanilla rifles when playing medic.
the bottom line is....
GET KILLED AND EVOLVE IN COMBAT, DONT WORRY IT WILL HAPPENComment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
if you're not going to use all the tools of a class(assault, in this case), don't play the class. In other words, don't listen to crybabies toting G3s against all logic who **** and moan about the grenade launcher. They're laying a mindgame on you, just to make up for the inadequacies of their chosen weapon.Originally posted by USAR_Uriel
Engineer and sniper are the exceptions to those rules, since mines and claymores generate TKs more than anything else.Comment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
Unlocks are alternative weapons to ones you currently have, They come ranks but not all ranks, their IS a seperate unlock for each class, You get to choose your new unlock, there is only one unlock per class, they have differnt strengths and weaknesses; If you want to know them do a search for some of the weapons (L85, PKM) etc. you'll get countless posts.Originally posted by toaderComment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
If you get killed, you'll see a message like this in the top right corner of the screen:2) Ive been pretty good at most games Ive played eventually, but I found myself getting thrashed last nite. And most times I got thrashed, I didnt even know from where, or from what I got killed!! So, my question is...should I prepare for a life of being sucky at this game or does this game just have a pretty hard learning curve for the first while?
Enemy [Name of the weapon he killed you with] toader
For example, if you get killed by an M95, it'll say: Enemy [M95] toaderComment

Re: New Player Here, Advice?
Most of the comments here are no use to newbs at all. Here is some useful advice that will actually help you to stay alive for a while.
1. Spend some time in single player to get used to how the weapons work.
2. Spend some time on empty servers to learn the layout of the maps. You want to get to the point where (1) you know how to get from one flag to another without thinking about how to get there (2) you know all the names of the flags (3) you can tell exactly where you are the second you spawn (4) when you see a red dot on the radar you know where that is in relation to you.
3. Play sniper for a while, and stay back from the action a bit. It's a good way to stay alive long enough to learn a bit about the maps, where people go, what to do etc.
4. Join a squad that has a medic or two in it :).Comment
