MAG (PS3)

[Hiryo]

Seeing as how 2 people in BG have already vetted(meaning they did SOMETHING right) over to Valor, maybe we should think about it at some point >.>.

Would suck losing half our BG clan though lol. You guys shoulda vetted to SVER

[Shojin]

well recuperi vetted a while ago, and stuck with SVER

[Ziero]

Honestly, if you're going to stay with the same team, I don't really see the point in starting over. I guess the 10% exp bonus would be nice if you respec'd a lot, but I don't think it comes into play when calculating MVP stats and such. I mean, I have no intention of ever switching from Valor (I don't care about trophies and the other two PMCs don't interest me in the least) so what would be the point of giving up my 60 skill points and all my kick ass gear.

Speaking of which, just got the shotgun last night, played with it for a bit in Sabo and Suppression...and other then that one game where SVER spawn camped us on their map (I joined half way in, used a shotgun for most of it and still scored more kills then the rest of my squad)...I absolutely loved it. Something about being able to walk up on a group of three guys completely undetected and then blasting them all with a good ol' fashioned boomstick. Added HP and increased health also help a lot when using that monster.

Now I just have to unlock the PDW because as of now I'll have to resort to pistol sniping people if they're too far from me to hit with the shotty. Though I've certainly started getting much better with that as well, and it'll definitely be a bonus to all my builds as it's quicker to weapon swap then reload mid fight.

[dejet]

can always vet back in like a month if I hate it lol

I plan to end on sver but I want to try the others ~_~ should be fun getting to try new maps till the huge update.

edit: also I wisih i got OIC more then once. I get SL 90% of the time now but PL and OIC never happen >.> well PL once a day maybe?

[Hiryo]

I'm about 3/4's to OIC and have never been squad leader

[Insanecyclone]

I've never tried squad leader but is that how a lot people are getting 1k+ xp from matches?

a dick SL could set fragos to what they do, but not really the most points I got was from being a random dick to the other team. Got behind them and bam bam bam blew up like 50 things lol

[Shojin]

Wow, okay so don't do what I did and buy a MAG avatar from the EU store from your alt account. I had no idea they were tied to your account

[zoobernut]

Ah I hope I get to play tonight. I want more points so I can unlock more stuff!

[Logain]

I love it when your SL in domination(defending) doesn't set your frago to the bunker then when you politely suggest it, he goes all e-thug on you and then sets the frago to the bunker in the end. It really ruins the experience of the game. It's like damn dude I made one suggestion and I got the "I'm a level 55 xxx I know what I'm doing." Something tells me he was a former allatard.

/rant off

[Biddinger]

Squad leaders should be vote kicked if they're not setting frago. I don't understand the point of being SL if you're not setting frago.

[dejet]

Made my mind up, going to stay sver. I found out how to be oic and pl more so its much more fun for me now.

[Logain]

Tell your secret!!

Also I couldn't do a vote kick because he was in a clan and there were like 4 of them.

[dejet]

If you are say 50 or higher just un check sl. I got pl and oic 4 games in a row

It seems that it picks sl a lot more then oic and pl even if it was open.

So I've been wondering how effective the Suppressor is for the SMGs. My engineer build has about 200c left over and my only choices seem to be using the Auto-pistol (which I'm unlocking for my shotgun build) or unlocking the Suppressor and going for the stealth-mechanic type build.

Also, to unlock the Suppressor I have to give up any two of Adv Grenades, Adv Explosive, Enhanced RPG Reload, Enhanced repair. Or I could give up CQC reload or stability. Which would be the best way to skim 2 points to try out the suppressor?

If it were me I'd take away advanced explosives and enhanced RPG reload. Those two seem to make the least difference in an average game. If you're going for a stealth mechanic thing, suppressed SMG is probably the way to go. If you're on SVER, you wouldn't really have a need for a second weapon in those situations. I'm not sure how it is with Raven and Valor yet though

For 200cc you can also go with the acoustic locator, might be useful for detecting enemies and knowing whether its safe or not to repair something. I've never used it though, so I can't speak on whether its good or not.

someone told me its not good, just beeps or something? Might be nice to get some info on it lol. Iv yet to use any of them because they just dont seem to do much of anything like reload speed on RPGs or anything at all.

Also 99% of the time you are fighting as a group so odds are you wont need to know whne someone is around. Might help for that rare time a person gets behind you; you cant seem to find them, so you end up following them around as they blow up 80% of the shit in the back.

I used to use this on a few of my loadouts, but not for long really. From my experience, it does about as much as improved shot detection, and isn't too useful unless you're checking the map every few seconds. The only reason I can think of to use the 200c on this is if you have 200 leftover and the gun you're using doesn't have a suppressor as an option, since it wouldn't really help in his situation because of the need to have line of sight to know exactly where they are in the first place.
