There are 4 bolt actions available. M24 (the first sniper rifle, which is actually very good, one of my preferred rifles) SV98 (similar to M21 but worse) GOL (The most 'accurate' of the sniper rifles, slightly less power than an M21 and a faster fire rate) M95 (Most powerful, but also the slowest in terms of bolt cycling and reloading) For a first gun, the M21 is pretty amazing. Going to correct you a little bit based off of the most recent patch. What this means, currently, is that the SV98 and the GOL are the only rifles worth using when you look at it. The SV98 is now the exact same as M24 but with a larger clip and a faster reload speed and the GOL, while a bit slower and smaller clip than the SV98, has arguably the better sights and for some reason does not take into account "breath" currently. (Scope sway). I do hope they end up readjusting them a bit more because it was a bit of an oversight. Still sniping is pretty damn good in this game. All the classes, really, can take on a support role if you wish. Recon by using motion mines to scout ahead, Assault as a picker in the back using a 4x (With AN94 or something) and giving ammo, engineer repairing vehicles and blowing up around objectives to gain sight for the rest of the team and medic is obvious.

I generally just do a ready check at the start of the instance, and in front of the bosses. By the time I'm through the first corridor, I generally have a good feel of what the healer can handle and adjust my speed accordingly. While doing DPS, one of my pet peeves is tanks who ask "r?", then don't even wait for a reply and just pull the boss. Don't even bother with ready checks in a normal instance man.That's stuff you save for raids.

GL. At least when I contacted support (call them and just wait, it's faster) everything was fixed in less than a day. Hell it was all fixed within 6-8 hours it seemed like. e: Just want everyones opinion on this: For some reason one of the things that can really annoy me is when you are in a difficult fight (be it a tough pull, soloing an elite mob, a tough PvP encounter) and someone strides along and tries to help you. I mean, I understand they are being nice but it annoys me because I want to beat it myself. I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way or not.

Is it possible to be too nice?
It does kind of seem like it.

Not saying this is what you're doing at all but one of my pet peeves in WoW instances is when the tank is way too timid and just "has" to wait for everyone to be full hp and mana before every pull. It's a pity I don't want to PvP with any of the classes who can tank or I'd be tanking my way up.

Well part of it is I've leveled 2 rogues to 70 so far so it is a bit of repetition. Can't complain though, I'm killing quick enough.

Slowly leveling my rogue... Level 42 now, I really just want to hit at least 58 and get to the outlands. Early rogue talents/skills are so boring.

I know a lot of random [wagon] spots in squad rush :thumbup: . Oh and are you scrimming squad rush or 8v8 conquest? Could maybe get a scrim together against you with the current clan I've sort of been ringing for alongside of my roomate. Also the more I use it the more I love it, the UMP45 is really awesome.

Take that PC fanboy crap somewhere else, you are NOT better because you play on PC. Who said I was better? Console montages are lame. Consoles are great fun but they just don't come close to the skill required for PC FPS games so I dont understand why people think they need to record themselves "owning" (ON PUBLIC) specially when the software does half the aiming for you. A huge example of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbEC7___EeQ I don't mind competitive play(non public) console recordings: I agree with you although I'd say that any FPS PUB "montages" (Console or not) are pretty lame. Anyone can get some footage of themselves "owning" in a PUB.

PUBed a bit today with the clan Buddah Tribe. Was pretty fun, they've got some good members too. They want me and my roomate for 8v8 conquest although I think if we talk to them we might be able to get on the main 4v4 team as well. Been enjoying the UMP45 a lot after the range normalizations they have done. It's a pretty damn powerful gun and might actually make me work with engineer a bit more in a squad rush environment. At the very least I'll use it if I ever do do 8v8 conquest. Post-Patch I'll probably agree with you about this. I think I would place the MG36 ahead of the M249 from personal experience, simply due to it's nice red dot sight built in so you can go extra ammo or lightweight. XM8 LMG I haven't tried post patch but don't think it'll be that great now. PKM has always been fairly well rounded. Type 88 I think will be worth looking at now, I don't mess with it too much though. Been sticking with MG36 post patch until I get some word about if the M60 will be banned or not in future comp. The MG3, like I said in an earlier post, is useful for real close quarters (camping near an objective or something) but I think it's just too much RoF to really be useful in a lot of situations. Oh and it's kind of sad I have nothing else to unlock now except for levels, lol. All 4 classes and vehicle maxed out and I have all the non-specific class unlocks as well.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
To me deathstreaks seemed like the only even moderately decent idea in MW2. Here's an idea: Get rid of the [developmentally delayed]ed [wagon] kill streaks in the game and keep it simple like it was in CoD4. There is no need for a player to be able to use some of these ridiculous killstreaks because they can get a 4/5 kill streak (or w/e) and then camp in a corner using a helicopter. That being said if you think MW2 was ridiculous just wait for what "MW3" is going to be like without the actual heads of IW (not to mention a ton of IW are just leaving) there. If you think Acitivision screwed them up before... Of course that being said it'll still sell a billion copies and people will think it is awesome since the game is designed to make you feel like a champ through all of the random XP gains, unlocks, killstreaks, ect.

Numbers wise the XM8 LMG was almost all the same as MG36 except with higher damage. Now it's almost the same with slightly increased reload speed.

XM8 LMG was second to M60 for being one of the best LMG's. To be honest it was a bit too powerful.

Battlefield Discussion Thread
I'll be giving the T88 another shot personally. If I don't like it then I'll just stick with M249 due to the XM8 nerf. If M60 is actually "balanced" as well now I may end up using it if I find it is usable in leagues. I sort of thought the range change seemed silly on the AN-94. I always thought it was one of the best rifles for longer ranges and it had pretty beast damage at those ranges. They need to do this. I would say 2 medics maximum although 1 would probably be better. Like I said I went up against a 4 medic team in the GR comp and it was just stupid to play against.

Goodbye Game Manuals
... what? Why would a site that provides walkthroughs and cheats be shutdown because of an online or PDF manual? You realize that most manuals already have a PC version right? Can't say that makes any sense. Anyways I haven't bought a retail game in a while (sticking to digital download/Gamefly) and I haven't read a manual since the old BG2 manual.

Change list and balance changes.

No idea. It's insane because he had to individually parry (or block, I forget) each attack in that move. The crowd just makes that though. There are a few HoN replays I'd link if I felt like searching around, probably not interesting to anyone who doesn't play the game though.

It's really too bad that Dr. Pepper is so terrible tasting. Almost have Recon maxed out (about 7000 points until M95) and then I will have all of the kits maxed (+ Vehicles). Still looking around for a team although I need to see if future tourneys are going to be 8v8 conquest or stick with 4v4 rush.
