[Mutli-player] Guns: Least and Most Favorite

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:16 pm

I thought i might start a discussion about what your favorite weapon is and why. Then the other side of the coin, your least favorite and perhaps some helpful suggestions that would make it a more usable or at least more balanced in the majority of situations.

I'll start:

Favorite: Scarab.
I really like the higher fire rate over the scar, and the increased mobility. I use the extended mag. as the only attachment.

Least: K-Volt
Its probably the most frustrating thing ever for me. The damage is far to low to be competitive in a shoot out scenario. Plus how slow the projectiles move and the average fire rate pretty much add up to a hard to use gun to me.

Most would suggest the damage needs to be buffed, but i would rather see it hit more so maybe increase the fire rate and the overall flight speed of the projectiles.

What the K-Volt lacks in effectiveness it makes up for with a continuous stream of "PewPewPew" when firing.

While I don't have a particularly favorite weapon I mostly use the SCAR because when all your shots are landing it kills faster than the SCARAB and can kill a larger number of people in a single magazine and when you replace your secondary with a SCARAB either by Loadout Pro or picking one up you also effectively get double your reserve ammo capacity for the SCAR.

My least favorite weapon would have to be the Mk. 60, you can barely see what you're shooting because of the recoil and the larger ammo capacity isn't all that useful because SCARs already reload fast enough to [almost] never get caught reloading and they and SCARABs are common enough you never really run out of ammo.

Favorit primary: Scarab (Silencer, Reflexsight, extended mag)
Normally I prefer the Scar, but the Scarab has a higher fire rate and a silencer. Maybe I'll try using the Scar with Rapid Fire. Btw, what do you think of this possibility? Scar + Rapid Fire, I mean. Cuz the Scar does more damage, maybe I can compensate for the lower fire rate with Rapid Fire.

Favorit secondary: Majestic
Only really useful with Weapon Pro, imho. Does a lot of damage, you can kill a stealthed enemy with one shot.


least primary: MK.60
Too much recoil without Aim Enhance, takes too long to reload without Weapon Pro.

least secondary: AY69
Kills are only possible if you surprise the enemy from behind. And then you better kill them with stealth-kill, cuz mostly the enemy turns around and kills you. AY69 is useless against armored enemies or players with good reflexes.

I love the X43-Mike, it's so cool, but it has terrible damage :(
Least favourite? Scar, it's overused, it's pretty good though
