Played through an alert yesterday and I'm not far off getting me some c4 for my LA. Praise the smurfs for charging repeatedly at the same base for nearly 1 hour.

Alert tactics yo

Seriously they didnt even try to attack any of our other bases to drsw us away. A few platoons smashed Vanu then just joined up with the main group and crushed the NC in about 10mins of sweet sweet exp.

LA was my favourite class, when i played PS2. I figured best approach was to never go where the other people go, always look to take some alternate route using your jetpacks. Getting on the right roof or whatever can net you a fuckton of kills on unaware people, as well as let you get to objectives, bypassing heavier defenses.

C-4.

Also those "BR100 nerds" don't have ten times better weapons than you.

Singleshot mode on Carbines with a good DMR scope allows you to hit guys at great ranges. Normally its not expected and you can definitely outrange most max weapons.

Never really got forced single shot mode. Just click once or burst as long as you feel you are in control of the gun's recoil.

Well i've changed a lot since i started the game. I'm TR now and playing alone just helping the base defence as infiltrator with RAMS-50. If i want to attack somewhere just playing as heavy assault with TMG-50. Upping Adrenaline shield since i want to play aggresive and Advanced shield capacitor. Got few points on flak armor aswell. I want to try Ninja with SMG-46 Armstice.

Algarn, if i were you I'd get a shotgun and double C4, last one takes a while, but its definitly worth it.

I was trying all factions and then i found an amazing squad while playing TR. Teamwork part was really good and i really enjoy the game. After that they have invited me to their outfit. Other thing is i didn't know the test server, tried almost every weapon. TMG-50 was my best choice. Slow rate of fire compared to TR weapons but good damage and easier to control. Oh and of course i've tried Vanu but this alien thing, i just dont like it.

Hah, what server are you on?

I enjoy blasting some plasma every now and then, though, that's why my VS is BR22  :mrgreen:

Also the default VS sniper is similar to the 99SV, BUT it has NO bullet drop at all. so OP if you can aim follow-up shots it's funny  :mrgreen:

I was playing on Miller as you suggested. But i'm thinking about creating chars as NC and Vanu for changing style. I know i said i don't like Vanu but lasers can be fun sometimes. Pew pew pew...

To Tyr : double C4 is like 750 certs ...  :mrgreen:

(I prefer to take 3 medical kits to survive better since it costs like half of the double C4)

To christo : you can see that weapons with high prices got better improvements like upgraded laser, and got for a good majority better stats than weapons at 250 certs... It's my opinion, and may be wrong, but from what I saw, having BR100 is good since you can basically afford a really good weapon plus all improvements, and hunter/tank/MAX with every improvement...
