does anyone know what people use to get up real close? I have had a few incidents of being knifed hehe.
Marathon and Lightweight and just run around knifing people is a blast. You run faster with a hand gun equipped; plus the extra melee perk, but its a pain in the ass getting it.
Also there's a bug atm so if you hold a care package grenade (ie press 4 to summon the care package but don't throw the grenade flare that summons it, just keep hold of it) you run around at loopy speed.
You should try Riot Shield and Throwing Knife too Git.
This is the first FPS I've played for more than half an hour. For other newbs I'd offer one piece of advice - Tactical Insert >>>> all. And play Domination - it doesn't natter how much you die. Find a hidden corner near one of the objectives, plant TI, plant it same spot every time you die and attack/defend that spot.
And I couldn't live without One Man Army - instant full ammo regen, as many grenades, claymores and tactical inserts as you want without dieing (max claymores you can place is 2, if you try to place a third the first explodes etc), plus switch between sniper, LMG, SMG, AR whenever you want.
Heard people say the ACR rocked, but the first 60 levels I didn't like any of the Assault Rifles and stuck to SMGs close quarters and LMG outside. That all changed at 60, the F2000 is lubbly. And then I got to 70 and the AK47, which is a beast of a weapon. read on forums the early weapons are better than the end game stuff but thats absolute bollocks.
