Thought I'd continue our FC2 gun talk.

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
