Soldato
And ... They've put Karakin back in, **** YEA!! I love that map every now and then as something different, small, low loot tables. Personally love getting a Winnie on that map, as it's somewhat competitive given the low loot tables, and just find it a very fun weapon to use which is basically outclassed on every other map.
I was hugely disappointed by the eventual inclusion of DMRs into Karakin. When that map was first released, Winchesters were king as there was nothing else. You could get a Kar98, but they lacked in long range scopes to make them useful (was hard to find a 3x or 4x), so Win94 was king in a lot of ways. Then they patched it and ruined it all, imo!
New patch is good, I've always enjoyed playing bolt action SRs and often have really good games with them. I've found playing bolt SRs really sharpens your aim and your twitch reflexes for those peaking/twitch shots from behind cover. My biggest weakness remains though, hot dropping and not fighting on my own terms! I like to approach fights geared up and with a tactic in mind (how to use cover or making best use of the geography), rather than just broiling it around with the others trying to find something other than a shotgun before getting buzzed.
I'm still handicapping myself a bit though, I've ranked up all the good guns to level 100, so am trying to rank up all the others, which is a bit of a challenge! But, my k/d has never been better so I must be doing something right! Trying to level up the AK (close now) and all the SMGs (I've already maxed the UMP - amazing gun, absolutely love it, pains me to walk over one without picking it up).
Noticed very few pros play with a 3x on an M416 anymore, not like they used to. Its nearly always just a red dot.
