You baby. LOL, recoil on both of those guns is nearly identical. They also be my No. 1 and No.2 top
weapons. They keep fighting for 1st place and win every other time, because I still can’t make up my mind which
one I’m having more fun/success with. Even 600HRs later. -_-

I used to hate the AEK now I heart the AEK.

F2000 actually has a fair amount more recoil so its noticeable, it also has way more spread and a lower RoF. They just can’t quite get that gun right but I guess the maneuverability somewhat makes up for a bit of it.

F2000 has more recoil but better hip-fire.

F2000+FG+Laser Sight is fun.

Just hit colonel 100 with 729 SPM overall and 2.3 k/d, not too bad considering the majority of the time I am going PTFO or playing TDM instead of vehicle whoring and wasting 10 minutes of a game just waiting at spawn or sniping on a hill to get my k/d up. :smiley:

Managed to get a 19 nemesis streak on a guy earlier and then I spawned on a random spawn and he knifed me instantly! Thanks DICE! It’s like they were saying “Enough! You are traumatising the young lad” so they gave me to him for free :frowning:

I’m still a level 72 Colonel. =/

I should take advantage of the Premo-Double XP thing this weekend too bad most of the enemy team leaves after two games and it sticks with me with a bunch of scrubs.

The MP7 is my 6th most used weapon. I mostly use it on CQ maps or I use the SPAS+Slugs on more mid-range stuff if I don’t want to use the M417.

Double XP only meant I got there in half a week instead of a whole one. I have effectively been earning over 1000 SPM every time I play at the moment without it being Double.

Why don’t you want to use the M417?

I use it it just has a slower muzzle velocity than the M39 EMR.

Well over distance its better but the hip fire for when you are under pressure is so much better on the M417and the recoil is also a bit less so you can fire off a more accurate 2nd shot faster which may save your life where the M39 EMR could leave you dead.

Scar-L is an underrated gun right now. Mid to long range, this thing is just straight mag dumb and move on.

Underrated? I only ever hear people praise it. I think it is quite overrated really.

When I am playing on larger maps then the long range guns I go for are the L85 and the G3. SCAR is ok but 620 rounds per minute is an incredibly low RoF for the larger majority of situations, G3 is even less with 550 but its damage output is significantly higher, it has a higher velocity and its max damage drop off is significantly better so when I hit people at range with the G3 I can drop them from much further than the SCAR-L and much quicker. Then there is the L85, same damage as the SCAR-L but higher velocity, higher RoF, more accurate hip fire if you do get caught close. Having hit 13 stars I have really learned the SCAR-L to its fullest and it just doesn’t quite stand up to the L85 or G3 in terms of range, kill times or ammo useage.

I can’t take that video seriously cause it has the MW3 AK-47 icon right there when it’s a SCAR-L video.

DAHECK!?

I’m so freaking mad right now. I’m on a BF3 withdrawal. My PS3 disk drive broke and I have to pay $150 to get it fixed. Its been about 2 months already.
Bleh. I’m totally missing out premium right now.

Question, to get the carbon fiber dogtags and the custom knife, do I only get it if I got premium last month? or it also applies to new incoming premium players?

I think Premium is Premium. You spend the money and you get your stuff.

Be glad they didn’t make it like the real version where it jams horribly should a cloud of dust lightly brush it…

That’s why I’ve always thought that the L85 is just incredibly underused, it’s such a potent long range weapon with excellent recoil, but some people seem to equate higher RoF as better regardless of range. I’d never use the L85 for CQ. I have to say though, I don’t notice too much difference on burst in the 30 RoF difference beetween the Scar and the L85 (I don’t usually run full auro), I just take the 85 for preference.

The AK-74M is an under-used weapon.

Its just very average. It got a buff and everyone loved it but then it dropped off because there are better weapons at mid to long range like the L85 and G3 and from mid to close range people use the AEK or the M16. Then if you are going for a middle gun with good accuracy and decent hip fire then most people would pick the AUG because of its better RoF, Hip fire and velocity. The AK is a decent gun but it is just so very average at everything that it loses out gun to gun to almost every other.

Kind of like the M4.

But that’s why I like the AUG =/

I’ve taken down AEK-971/M16A3 users in CQC with it too.
