My best kit would have to be Sniper or Medic. I'm good at making long-distance shots with the sniper and when i'm medic I rarely miss when using the defibrillator on my team-mates. Both of them are also my favorite kits to use, but Spec-ops is fun too. I love blowing my team-mates up to tall buildings or planting C4 on my vehicles and blowing them up in the enemies bases.

Who does?

I could give you such a long list of players that tried to using the Defibrillator on me on Road To Jalalabad, for example: I was playing Road to Jalalabad and I was on the MEC team. I spawned at the outpost with a sniper and was working my way up towards the USMC uncap. I got sniped in the outpost and then 2-3 medics came and jumped ontop of me attempting to medic me, but as the 15 seconds went down they kept failing. I died.

i chose playing with myself because... I don't really care wat kit I am..

It really depends on the mood I am in and what team I'm on.

but medic is by far my most used kit with 21k kills in it...

I have to say, in the last year, I switched from Medic/Engineer to Assualt, and that is now my primary kit. I get more points in one round then any medic spamming and shockpaddling. So, I guess I turned it around. But I feel I was good at medic. I hated spec, AT, and support. But I have not started to find some value in those all those kits now.

I rarely play medic, it is often when I pickup someone's defib to take a flag. I used to be into the team points with a lot of kills, now I want a lot of kills and I'll take my team points from getting flags or driver assists.

Yep, this is coming from someone that has over half of their hours as just sniper. And whose second highest map time is only 2 hours in Wake. Talk about defending a 'sit on your a**' kit.

Like the Neptune said, Snipers are never the MVP of a round...more like a side-show distraction. But I guess the OP was just asking what your best kit really is...not whether you're of any value with it.

Are you seriously going to go with that?

First its a comment on stats, next this is like my 500th account. Go play.
Each player has their own ways of play, some like medic, some like assault, etc.

As long as a team mate is performing his tasks?

I h8 snipers for the gaymore free kill(s).

I also h8 it when your SL decides to be a gaymore whore rusher in a close quaters combat part of the map. I honestly yell at them over VOIP and tell them to be something useful for the squad so we can cap a damn flag or something... Then again, some people can manage well as a sniper so it really depends on the player skill.

What I really h8 is when one or more losers spam there gaymores on spawns/flags. It's not really a FPS anymore when that happenes... ::sigh:: *leave and find a new server... again :(*

Well, I would expect nothing less from a sniper that has a banner in his sig showing carrier raping. And I wouldn't really consider sniping on Karkand a big feat. Snipers only contribute if they have an aimbot or spam the **** out of claymores...or if they are sitting on a nice perch over the runway with an M95 keeping pilots grounded.

Pilots clean out tickets wholesale and medics keep tickets from sliding away, but snipers, aside from what I said about keeping pilots on the ground, are they really that valuable?

I have my share of hours as a sniper and I have seen a lot of the effective sides of playing sniper. Yeah, my KDR is not hot as a sniper, but I don't go completing whole rounds as sniper either. Your right, some people have their own ways of fighting. Some like in the mix, and others don't enjoy getting in the heat.

You don't have to be unhappy though if no-one likes your style of play. Really, if you're happy playing by yourself. All the better. Play with yourself. That is fine by me.

Most of my time as sniper iis spent as squad leader behind enemy lines providing a spawn point to each flag.

How is it not beneficial to have a long range defendable spawn point? with claymores:laugh:?

I bet some will now say "sniper kit is effective, j0ur just a n0Ob," well, you can be a lot more effective with ANY other kit.

Do you get kicks out of cheap clay kills? least skill-requiring weapon in the game.

U must be playing I/O Karkand only or something. Let's take my favourite, Dragon Valley as an example. There are many AT guys waiting for tanks and jeeps to attack almost at every flag. What do you consider to be the best solution against those guys, armed to teeth lurking in the forest or some other hidden place waiting for next prey to enter....Let me help u, it starts with S and it has no Ops in it. Free ride for tanks to roll, if someone is pinning down and spotting ATs.

Same goes with those fellows hanging around stinger sites and helo platforms. Who is able to guard 2 maybe three flags at the same time? Who can engage with your handheld weapon against those idiot helos capping flags, with pretty sure kill? Answer is the same as in previous, so check your attitude m8.

Yep, find a hole, set your welcome party and invite people to attack enemy flags deep behind the "frontline". My favourite also :-)

Engineer.

I just love the frustration my enemy suffers when they slam over the mines I placed somewhere they don't think the enemy are. Being able to only drop one, but able to get resupplied from difficult to find sources and lay upto 5 mines at a time is fun.

I love the way that my enemy enter a building and then the whole damned building explodes and pieces rain for a hundred metres around when I set off my c4 (oh wait, sorry. For all the vanilla players out there, forget what I said, you don't have destroyable statics, please erase this paragraph from your mind)

Now the engineer on standard forces has the grapnel hook to enable getting into huge bases from less than likely points of entry, it makes the class worthwhile. (oops, sorry. PR again.)

Plus, jihad wagons with the changed sounds in PR, the whole map hears when I pile a vehicle with several pieces of C4 on it into the enemy armour or base to take down their numbers. The 60 second respawn time on a suicide doesn't really hurt. Half of that time is gone usually before I stop laughing, taking in the praise for a job well done and generally checking the flow of forces across the map with the excellent AAS2 format of taking flags in parralel ordering set by the mapper.

Support.

After understanding how to use the kit, I found that it reflected my aggressive style of gameplay. I've perfected it over the past year, but have recently stopped using it to play other classes.

Snipers are not exactly useless but it is a drag on your team when they make up over 25% of your team.

I choose spec ops because it can do everything it has a good gun and is capable of taking out tanks with C4. Well suited gun for both defense and offense

ham_411

08-14-2007, 05:42 PM

i chose sniper, as i've been playing it the most recently. it is also my 2nd most played kit, just behind AT. and believe me it isn't uneffective. and no i dont spam the claymores either. i use them as they're supposed to be used, to cover my position or to defend a flag. was playing on mashtuur yesterday and the amount of flag defence points i got just from placing a claymore at the backyard:laugh:
the few times i was on the huge building that overlooks the bridge, i got so many kills from it as it covers alot of ground. you have a clear view of 2 flags, and the surrounding area of 2 more. and so many times have i and many snipers alike probably saved your asses by taking a bloke out who was on his way to you, or took his life to within one shot from death.

Sniper is also known as the Pilot kit... didn't you know? ;)

The only claymore spamming I've seen was in Karkand and Warlord. Which have been dubbed whore maps. Play on open air maps, you will see snipers using claymores to defend flags, or to defend themselves.

Alah has truly blessed his MEC children with the AK-101. Look what God gave the USMC :cry:

Also, assault is my favorite kit. It compliments how I play perfectly. Some brutes find that blitzing in spraying the PKM is the best way to go but with a well timed flashbang/smoke grenade you can blitz in and take out people with your grenade launcher and sweep in and take out the survivors with your trusty M16/F2000.

RocketChild

08-15-2007, 03:28 AM

So it is all about the points, eh?

Actually, if you look closer at my post, hopefully you will pickup that when I refer to points, it is about tickets. To paraphrase: Pilots take out a hell of a lot of tickets and Medics keep tickets from slipping away.

I'm afraid though that we are going to take this thread away from what the OP was asking. We can debate the merits of snipers on servers in a different thread. Yeah, it is easy for a lot of people to get mad at then when we are always encountering snipers dropping claymores in firefights or not taking flags when they are the last people left on the server.

Ah, someone that said what I feel about the Assault kit. It is nice to be able to clean out people with a powerful gun and have more flexiblity then what is provided with the LMGs (which often you have to drop to the ground to fire). I think they only balance to someone with a PKM is Assault with a GL. Or AT if they can stand up long enough to fire a rocket.

Assualt is a very good class with the G3 but without it I would take the medic kit. You get almost the same gun and say you revive 10 people that saves your team 10 tickets.

Yeah, I used to think like that, but then I gave up on that very good fact because I just got tired of looking like I was getting fresh with dead bodies.

Actually, I just wanted to move on with Kits because I had enough hours as a medic and it was time to expand. Just like now, I have more and more hours as support (because of Iron Gator). And I am actually getting hours in as Spec-ops and AT too. But I'll stick with Assault. Lots of armor and very evil weapons.

SVD is a great gun I use it alot when I play karkand because its quick firing and accurate at long range and I can use the clays effectively for short range. but when im not on the MEC at kark I would say the G# is the best gun in the game.

I've been playing sniper a lot lately on IO servers and had a lot of fun.
It's very satisfying to headshot another player who thinks he is safe or well hidden.
I don't care that much about clay kills but it's nice when you get the confirmation of the kill ;-) because you put the clay in a good position.
normally I use them for self defense - if I could only pick them up again :-(

Support would be my second choice
Medic my third
the rest I can't rate
