High or Variable for the scope? I'm going to get it next time I can respec.

You definitely want the variable scope. They both cost 2 skill points to unlock, and the variable scope is only 100cc more to equip (500cc vs 400cc).

Slynk saw someone getting in to Valors Sabotage A spawn camp and showed me how to do it. We jumped up there and fucked with them for 5 minutes. Proximity chat is hilarious

It's pretty nice. You get 25 ammo with 5 round magazines, and it has a built in bipod so you don't need to invest 2 points into the bipod attachment. It will 1 shot people with light / medium armor, but takes 2 shots to bring someone down who is using heavy armor or the +20 hp skill. The only real drawback is you can't use a silencer and it's a pretty loud weapon, so unless you're pretty far back people will catch your location fairly easily.

If that's a tier 3 rifle, it's best use is for taking out turrets and vehicles. Get yourself a clear line of sight from the target and just take chunks out of it. Much more discrete then rockets yet just as effective.

Sadly I never see anyone on Valor sniping turrets. It's always RPG or nothing, which while nice, takes much too long considering how easily RPG users get hunted and gunned down.

[Shojin]

Yeah, played it just after they patched it last night and was secretly hoping it would fix my freezing issues, it didn't though.

Next patch according to a dev on the MAG forums is supposed to be "HUGE" though, so looking forward to that. (DLC!?)

I m having so much fun idc what the DLC is. I was talking with some guys last night, and I sorta hope they make a 3 way fight. Like 192 players 64 from each fighting for something. ~_~ no clue how that would work but it be nuts.

lol that would be awesome

would also be pretty fun if a specific faction was dominating all the game types and had all the contracts, that the 2 losing factions would team up in some sort of way and bring them down, but I honestly don't see this happening. I could see the all 3 factions fighting each other thing happening though.

[Dylon]

im having alot of fun with the game, still trying to get a mic but having fun nonetheless. i like the changes they made in the update too.

[dejet]

Ya fixed a lot of small things. Zipper can do a lot with this game I hope they keep it moving.

Edit: I wish they would change what each fight stood for or at least the car one... how many times are we stealing the same car, make it like intel is init...

[DrRuler]

I'm on S.E.V.R. just hit level 31, PSN ID: DrRuler

Question: is the second rocket launcher or second LMG worth the points? I can't get over how negative that LMG sounds in the discription... "Oh it fires slow and it won't hit shit? Cool, I'd love something like that!"

The other RPG can lock-on so it's very much worth it but I'm not sure of the PKM.

[Shojin]

The second RPG is definitely worth it. The second LMG is good, at least I can do very good with it. You'll need the LMG stability perk and the sight on it to help with the recoil and accuracy, but with those it is a beast. It isn't much of a step up over the first LMG but it is definitely stronger, it also has a bigger magazine than the first LMG if i remember right.

[Shojin]

Also, Dmitry I've sent you clan invite like 5 different times now, I don't know if you just haven't gotten them or if you don't know how to accept them.

[Biddinger]

I hit veteran the other night and vet'ed right back in to Valor, I couldn't leave them

Going to be fun leveling back up with the 10% exp bonus...although getting exp without all the toys I'm used to having is proving very difficult. I never realized how much stealth helps until I lost it, everyone and their mother on the other team know where I am at all times

[Shojin]

You are a little bitch.

[Zeb]

foadgfy reporting for SVER duty.

[Biddinger]

You are a little bitch.

You guys should all go valor!

[Eggroll]

I did :< Went with the LMG this time around over assault rifle, Mk46 Mod0 is bad ass, seems a lot better than the RTK-74.

[dejet]

Think I am going to vet on over to raven when I am 60 ~_~; ill get the other two out of the way so I can end on sver.

[Shojin]

I've heard horror stories of people vetting over to different factions, saying how much they regret it... I really haven't made up my mind what I'm gonna do at 60.
