Lights only use smgs, pistols, revolvers and machine-pistols. My preferred body choice.

You're forced to play Medium until level 5, when you unlock Heavy. You unlock Light at level 7.

By then, you'll be good enough with an SMG that it won't matter.

I'm actually glad Lights can't use Assault Rifles. I'd call OP on Light if they could. They already can use Light Rifles, so theres that.
I'm really happy Lights can't use Shotguns. Come on?! It's a shotgun. It has a massive blow back recoil. It would send a Light flown backwards.

Now that I think about it... I could see Lights getting to extra places by shooting a shotgun below them for that extra boost. lol just saying.

And Light/long rifles.

Yes that too. Missed that since they pretty much useless. IMO!

im glad you unlock light last because from what ive seen the majority of players want to use the light body type so it wont be spammed alot for the first week or so.

Where is it stated that you unlock Light at level 7? Cause I saw on the achievements list two that you get for reaching rank 2 and 5. The symbol for two was the light body type, and the symbol for 5 was a heavy type.

hmmm MUD i take it D|Z are picking up BRINK as well?

I think that the devs did that to maintain balance. Lights already have the advantage when it comes to navigating the maps, sure their health is lower, but weapon restrictions help to balance it out.

I disagree, if a light/long rifle can take out a chunk of damage, all the other person has to do is pump 3 bullets or so of an automatic weapon to eliminate an un-buffed or semi-buffed target. It's not about the kill points per-say, it's about eliminating the target in order to progress in finishing the mission.

I want a long rifle by my side to keep fights short and be an extra scout for any incoming soldiers or engineers setting up turrets.

I've said this before, but:

Drognav Light Rifle w/ Red Dot Sight at medium range.

Three seconds, three bullets, you're incapped or surviving on many health buffs.

Yeahhhh.... I'd rather they not have Assault Rifles, they can navigate the map, they can outrun anyone, and they can reach areas that everyone else has to find a way around. SMGs just seem fair to me.

Plus, I'm going Medium with a SMG, and a pistol, theres more to a medium then shotties and ARs.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:08 pm

1. SMGs
2. Hit and run tactics
3. ???
4. Profit!

Lights can reach areas that no other bodytypes can reach... Anyone else feel like camping? :teehee:

Exactly. The Barrett only takes 2-3 shots to kill a medium and if said medium is already damaged he is a dead man.

I do too, but I don't think my love for them is greater than my love for mobility, lol.

@Numbz: Most likely.

Not like SMG's are necessarily worse that assault rifles anyway. A little range for better spraying ability seems fair to me. I'm certain that Lights will get by just fine with the weapons available to them.

Personally though, my first Light dude will probably use the Belgo MP and the Hockler MP. :evil:

If this still holds, I believe SD lowered XP counts for shooting at people who are further away from the objective.

Lights are faster, and therefore can get closer to the enemy to be able to use their SMG on them and then dip out when they start getting shot at.
