Get dead!

I bet if you went around just hip-firing the AR-16 all the time, it'd be more accurate than almost any gun aimed down the sights.

Which is about the only way I'd use it, for an assault rifle, the scope bothers me. (But for everyone else it's fine)

I've had situations a little like that many times using other weapons though, mowing down entire groups of enemies over and over.

It doesn't just come down to weapon choice, it's partly to do with the skill of the people on the other team, and a big part is to do with ping times and latency. FC2 is one of those games that rewards the host something rotten.

I've also had many many nights on it where I've been on the end of a bad connection, where I'd fill someone with lead and then die when they turn around and fire a single handgun shot. The reason lag changes from one round to the next can be caused by certain people joining and leaving, as a really bad connection from someone can slow things down for everyone. It's just the way network code works I'm afraid.

Sure, it can be a mix of skill as well as advantage, but you can't just turn around and say it's due to one single reason like "it's the guns". You have to take everything into account - online games always have done, and always will be the same in that regard.

Thought I'd continue our FC2 gun talk.  Tongue

Hosted a little match just a couple of minutes ago. Dunno whether I played well, or the other team just sucked... but I think I'll add a new weapon to my "favorites": The Desert Eagle .50.

That may be a surprise, as this is a gun which seemed totally useless. But that's not the case. It takes a long time to get the hang of it properly. But once you do, you will own with that thing. Of course, you may not be able to go in rambo-style and own a whole squad with it, but you could try by sneaking and picking off 1 by 1.

Incase you confront someone up close, try using it without the scope. It'll be very difficult to strike down a gunner at a close range using the .50. At the beginning, if you never used it before, it might be so frustrating that you might chuck your controller into the wall. But that's how it might be with every gun except LMGs and assault rifles.

The gun is underpowered, it takes usually 2 shots to kill someone (except headshots), at very close distances it takes a good shot to the back or the chest.
Once you get the operation manual for it, that thing becomes about twice as accurate as before, which makes it more deadly of course.

It seems I caused a little .50 battle today. As I had the best score with it, some players decided to use it too, as they must have thought they could easily own with it. But they quickly changed their guns again. LOL

The desert eagles fun too use when you're flanking or at very close range but I never used it for long because I found it hard to aim with Tongue. I imagine it is quite deadly with the operation manual...

Not sure which topic this would belong into, but I guess it would fit in here as the topic goes "What the (f...)?"

So I've just been in a little match - despite the fact you can consider FC2 dead - and had a bad fight with some team killer asswipes. Now "why are you posting it, teamkillers are a common thing" you might ask.

...Yes, they are, but not 3 in one match, of which 2 are killing only one person, you know.

At first I've been killed by some guy with an IED, and then a second guy on my team snipes my ass away - twice. I switched the team on the next round, but that's not where it ended: A third guy, on the other team, decided to blow my ass off. He didn't do it more than once, but what made me wonder quite a lot is that firstly one of them who was on a teamkilling rampage, stopped as I switched the team, and the others teamkilled me, but nobody else. :-/

The host was not playing, and voting was off, so there was no way to ban them.

If I had met them before, it might've been halfway understandable, but I am quite sure I haven't even seen any of them before. Something was odd. Probably one of the oddest stories that happened to me on FC2. lol

Maybe they sucked so bad, they had to see if you could really be killed.

Who knows. But they already started killing me when I didn't even start playing properly.

Anyway. I've been accused of cheating once again today. I think it's just about enough. I'm fed up with the whole sh!t really. They're just about to light the touchpaper of my annoyance, and expel me from the game. I've got better stuff to do than dealing with a barrage of idiocy coming from true game spoilers who apparently make it their main task to upset people who beat them. I want to play games for fun, not for getting pissed. Man...
