ok ive been trying out the grendal and takedown but they are completely usless vs the auto weapons. fy71 ect. so should i just not use them?

You just have not gotten used to these types of weapons. I used the grendel a lot in C2, and with the laser it was a beast. If you look at Sdub's busta video, you will see him in action with the Grendel in C3.

TAKEDOWN is my gun of choice, it's awesome.

Even against auto weapons of course.

Don't give up on them keep trying they are rewarding weapons once you get better.

True it takes a lot of practice, I gave Grendel a try but it didn't worked out that well.

Takedown isn't a bad weapon. It's just that the SCAR can do everything the Takedown can, and even be better in other areas at the same time.

You can fire short bursts with the SCAR and kill someone with the same amount of time it does for a Takedown at close range. And with a SCAR, you have the option of unloading your whole magazine...if you want.

At long range, it's particularly difficult to kill someone who's moving with Takedown due to the recoil. If your enemy isn't moving then it's okay. The SCAR however, is better at long range single fire.

I once contemplated switching from SCAR to Takedown, but found my overall performance dropping. The recoil from Takedown particularly, makes aiming down a reflex sight rather annoying.

my point exactly why use a takedown when a scar beats everything else in the game

Imo, i feel i tried the takedown and it worked pretty well for me as it takes around 2-3 shots to kill a guy while it takes around 0.5 -1 sec longer for a scar 2--3 three round burst to kill a guy.

I use the Grendel in my ExA loadout. As long as I have a gun for CQC im all good.

Well, at least no Jackals...

It's all about preference for your Assault Rifle, I actually think Crytek did a really good job at diversifying the Assault Rifles, they feel different. Obviously you have the 3 shot burst Grendel and single-shot Take-Down which are unique to themself then you have the fast firing light weight Scarab, The Heavy Hitting clunkier FY71, and the middleground SCAR.

I myself have just found a nitche with the FY71. and it feels so good.

I do think the game could use a few more weapons, perhaps another SMG and I hate saying it but Shotgun, maybe like a double barrel or a sawed off. Another LMG might be good too because the L-Tag despite being considered a LMG it is really kinda out on its own.
