The heavy barrel only makes the 1st shot accurate, the 2nd shot should be worse if using the heavy barrel, which is self defeating on the burst mode. Better off with silencer, no?

Hes better off with the heavy barrel but tap firing in single shot. It has 2x the effect over all other guns on the AN-94/G3.

Guys, does anyone else get crashing when in Jets? I play it flawlessy for about 2-3 hours and then when I get into Jets, the game crashes to desktop :/

Dj_Jestar · 22 Dec 2011 at 11:10

I always crash when I fly a jet.

Oh you mean the game crashes?

Wait, running around shooting people is what makes the game fun.

Holding down shift + w doesn't though.

Dj_Jestar · 22 Dec 2011 at 11:15

pfft, only noobs press shift+W. Pros tap then hold W. (i.e. double press W)

Tombo · 22 Dec 2011 at 11:17

I do that when running long distances, shift hurts my pinky

pff double tap takes too long, plus u have to release completely to return to walking speed

How do you sprint if you're already running foward? you stop to double tap?

The Running Man · 22 Dec 2011 at 11:21

I just hold down shift in the direction i want to kill people in , and go get em.

Tombo · 22 Dec 2011 at 11:22

I wonder how you came up with your name

Sorry should have made it clearer, the AN-94 strength is in it's burst mode which is the fastest firing mode in the game. However using heavy barrel with this mode makes the 2nd shot accurary worse. So yes, if using the heavy barrel then he should stick to single shot mode, however there are better guns to use in this case.

AN-94 burst mode is the fastest fire mode, however if hammering it constantly, you'll lose the overall RPM due to the fact your finger has to keep hammering the mouse (not to mention including latency into that).

A bit of bad language but not much

In the time it takes to tap then hold again, your char doesn't stop.

NEGATRON! You only need to let go for as long as it takes to tap. Like an anti-tap if you like

Your char won't stop in the time it takes to do that.

If it does crash, it will always be in a jet

And as for spawn raping.. well lets be honest its fun. Why do we play these games ? to run amok, have fun, shoot people and win the game. Something that spawn raping your opponents when they are on the run provides in bucket fulls.

So when you're on the receiving end of it you just suck it up and get on with it.

Wow, you sound like a hoot to play against!

We all play to have fun, yes. But I think most people would like to ensure that everyone is having fun. I don't spawn camp because I know it's lame and frustrating for my victims. And besides, where's the fun in getting easy kills by camping a spawn point and shooting those unable to fight back effectively? Engaging your opponents on a level playing field is much more fun and rewarding. Camping a spawn point is for KDR kids.

When my team pushes back the enemy to their deployment area and they are getting hammered, in most case I would actually rather back off and give them a chance to regroup and break out, especially if it's a good map. I'd rather have 30 minutes of playing the rich, open environment the game gives us, with fighting raning across the whole map, than spend 5 minutes pounding the enemy in their spawn, then moving on to the next map.

As for RPG kills - I think most peoples complaint is the dickheads who use it constantly. Ill happily admit to using it if the situation calls for it, to turf out an entrenched sniper/machine gunner or blow a hole in a wall I know an enemy is behind. But I dont run around with it equipped as my primary weapon.
