Is there a need for assault??

[EliteRazgriz666]

Personally I feel Assault is completely useless in the game since support is a hell lot betta(plus u can supply ammo). The stock assault gun is shared with medic and no1 uses GL anymore because they bounce and the fear of bein called a noob for usin it.
Now the question is, is there a point to have assault?
No special abilities, like a medic without the bags but with armour

The least DICE can do is get rid of the GL lag. And while they're at it, they can get rid of the RL lag too.

Re: Is there a need for assault??

it kind of is a useless class...I only play it when I need some more fire power. Ya the support can give you that but assault does have its uses...though very limited lol.

Assault is my #1 role, love it. Its sole purpose is to frag !

Assault is the Grunt kit, of course there is a point to it. Support class should support the Assault who can run and gun, Support cant run and gun, support is only good from a distance. The assault is the "in your face" close quarters type of kit, but is also quite useful from afar. Screw people who call others noobs for using the GLs, thats what they are there for. You soften a target at a distance with it, then switch to normal fire and finish them off.

They should make assault and crouching a bit more effective in this game.

Re: Is there a need for assault??

Assault is still crap compared to ofa kits, it may b the grunt kit but who wants to b a grunt nowadays. I hardly eva c any1 playin assault anymore except for some G3 lovers

Re: Is there a need for assault??

nah id disagree i can kick a lot more ass in a close up meat grinder situation as assault.

I can see how support has become a little inbalanced and so someone who isnt that good can perform a lot better but i still own all the pkmers close up as assault.

I generally use the F2000 :)

Re: Is there a need for assault??

Considering how desvastating PKM is, there is no point to assault. You may get afew sweet kills with the GL but apart from that support is a much better class. Untill Assault is boosted and PKM downgraded, assault is obsolete.

assault is still very powerfull .

the G3 (unlock) is the most powerfull weapon in the game is you ask me, in close combat situations and medium range situations, it puts everybody down, also PKM guys without any problems, only thing you have to do is make shure you can pull back to reload and then kick arse again.

as an SF player, the asault also has the flash bang and a graple hook, making it very usefull

Re: Is there a need for assault??

The f200 is a powerful weapon. The sight is great, good range, and the GL (along with a little skill) can take out anything up to a vodnik (last night I took out two crouched people near a tree in one shot).

Yes, assult has been nerfed a little bit, but the armor is a great feature too. I dont play it that often because medics have become (what I believe is) the best class.

But the game still needs a heavy duty class (the support is that but it doesnt have everything the assult does).

Re: Is there a need for assault??

Yes it is useful, and most say it is not because they can not seen any immediate positives (ie. medics self-heal etc). The smoke grenade is useful as is the flashbang, so if you don't think it is useful then I suggest you practice with it more

Re: Is there a need for assault??

its all aobut skill if you can accurately hit targets at distance with the GL you will own a support guy every time.

I suppose the support guy just lies there waiting to die? :laugh:

They are moving around the same way you are. You both come around a corner at the same time, he flop fires like usual with the pkm and you better hope your aim is 100% with that GL or you are dead. There will be no second shot.
