the camo m16 would be nice, im starting to play this game again but i get angry quick and how bad my pea shooter is now (m16). I don't want to start a new class, i put everything into assault and the last patch pretty much nerfed the assult class...

More patch news:

So early signs are we fixed the problem by rolling back a change involving SPECACT kits.

As long as this continues we are aiming to release on Wednesday (23rd) of next week. However this is dependant on how fast we can gain approval the patch is compliant with Steam. If that approval does not come quick enough the release will slip to the Monday (28th) of the week after (as it is a red day in Sweden on Friday next week and we don't release patches at the end of working weeks).

This does mean that SPECACT kits will not be available after patching as we had hoped but all other fixes remain as does the ability to play the new modes like Map Pack #3.

Expect the patch on the 23rd or 28th, depending on how fast it can be released on Steam. Also, looks like the SPECACT kits will not be available. I certainly hope that's temporary.

What's a good weapon to start out with on the default classes, and what do you have to begin with?

[trag3dy]

Depends on how you like to play. Really though you only get one weapon for each class to start out with so your choices are quite limited. :laugh:

Generally though after you unlock something you just use what feels best to you. Some weapons might be considered better but they don't feel right when you use them so use what you like, that's all it comes down to.

All starter weapons are good. What might be holding some back is the lack of magnum ammo but still they're good. IMO the AEK (assault) isn't as great as medic's and engineer's 1st guns though. But it has fantastic ironsights.

I broke 50 kills! :) Got killed like 5 times in a row near the end of the map though, proper cannon-fodder! haha

^ Nice, but M60? Tut tut, much better guns out there.

It's the best gun I have for the medic though! :p

AEK rapes. First weapon I took to plat and only weapon since Plat I'll play with again.

No love for the AN-94 or even the XM8 P?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

The AN-94 is deadly. I prefer the M16 though. I seem to get more kills with it. The worst gun I've used for the assault class has to be the M416. It used to be such a good weapon. Now, it's a damn pea shooter.

The m416 is the one of the best AR, right up there with the an94, and it was never nerfed or anything so how is it a "pea shooter" now?

Really? I guess it's just me. I used to be able to get a lot of kills with it. Now, I manage to get one or two kills because killing someone means using 80-100% of the clip. With the M16, I could get kills with a well-placed burst or two. Same thing with the AN-94.

[Singh400]

ALL the guns in the Assault class are good, expect for the F2000 & Aug. Assault class is the class I have most Platinums on (XM8 P, AN-94, M416 & M16A2).

Are you sure its an AR, it looks nothing like an AR in real life.

Was talking to my friends about the Onslaught DLC coming out tomorrow, and shared how I was going to pass on the 360 since it costs $10 and I can get it for free on the PC. Then I looked it up and totally was reminded that oh yeah, it is not even coming out for the PC as it would then render servers pointless being just 4 players (which I actually do agree with and get, I totally do), but damn it just kind of puts a bitter taste in my mouth, give us PC gamers something!!!

[trag3dy]

But..but...but.... we get infantry only mode exclusively on the pc!

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Infantry only mode, haha. How about they give us new maps for a change as well as the SPECACT kits (for free). Oh, and a patch that should have been released a long time ago.

Anyway, I bet the patch won't be released on the 23rd.

[trag3dy]

They say if it's not released on the 23rd it's because it didn't pass Steams QA, which I think is a joke and a copout.

[rajputwarrior]

remember when this game was good?

[gkl]

It still is idk

[Darth Laidher]

Yeah this VIP stuff is B.S giving us new modes in the same old maps for free. big whoopee doo lol i want new maps for free.
