M14 on seals, your thoughts about it???

[s[!]Lent~sh0t]

I have reluctantly given up using the AK 105 and the M4A1SD in frostfire as seals. Now I have been using the M14 so that I get better with it and own with it both seals and terrorists. It is actually a GREAT gun! It has excellent power and if ur far from the person and u just tap R1 then it is actually really accurate. It is an all around awesome gun...

your thoughts???

The key to the M14 is to harness the power of the recoil.

I wouldn't say I "tap" the fire button. I fire in bursts, aiming low, then holding the fire button down and letting it recoil up til its blasting them in the head. You gotta hold the aim a little low so it doesn't go too high..

Thats what I mean by harnessing the power of the recoil.

But as Seals? Frostfire? Nah.

I use M14 strictly when I'm terrorist.

Frostfire as Seals, I'm using M4A1 or M63A.

Why use strictly an M14 on EITHER side? The skill level on this game has decreased greatly...IDUB m14 idub m14 is all I see in rooms now...


The seals have a HUGE variety of good guns...why limit yourself to an m14? They...omg they have SO many good guns, just pick one up in a respawn and practise with it...just try more than the m14 and IDUB in this game guys, both sides have great guns, try some out in a respawn....

Here's what I wrote on the M14 for my Bible: (btw I'm welcoming other stuff you guys write, like the Weapon Tactics thread - or just simply PM me).



M14

THE most used weapon on either the Terrorist or SEAL side, the M14 is the weapon of choice for "rushers," "jumpers," and even those who watch Rambo a little too often.

The M14 does not allow a burst fire mode, but full automatic is enough for the purpose of run&gun which it was made for. The preferred weapon of Terrorists because "the STG77 sucks," and, "the M16A2 doesn't deliver," the M14 is the best weapon to use when you have no other idea of what to use.

The loudness of the M14 makes your presence known very quickly. To some players who have played the game for a long time, the sound of the M14 or the M3 12 GAUGE right by them can make even the best players hesitate for a moment. To equalize the extreme loudness of this rifle, the power is extremely deadly. About 2 or 3 HITS (not shots) is all it would take in order for an enemy to go down (at almost anywhere in the body). In an attempt to compensate for the deadliness/takedown of the weapon, the M14 also kicks high very fast. In real life however, the weapon can fly above your head in less than 3 shots if you try to go into full automatic.

In full automatic mode, the M14 is very deadly, and very hard to control for the new people to the game. To compensate for the massive kick, it is best to slam your controller stick to look down as you fire because keeping it still will cause your crosshair to make a leap into the air if you go past 2 shots.

However, the real beauty of this weapon is unsung in SOCOM2. The Semi-Automatic mode for this weapon brings extremely deadly rounds in a short burst of loudness. The M14 is made in some games in order to "bridge the gap of Sniper Rifle and Assault Rifle." When standing still, the M14's accuracy is "on the dot."

The best use of the M14, would be in a medium-ranged firefight (mostly seen in Enowapi). In this situation, both the automatic and the semi-automatic modes would work for the advantage of the player. For a newer player though, it is recommended not to try and use the M14 for close combat due to the short magazine size (20/mag).

Also, always carry a Double Ammo (2x Ammo) with you when using the M14. The short magazine size and the very fast rate of fire catches up to the Full-Auto people very fast. If you're not careful, you'll have your D.E. out before you know it.

Tips for this weapon go without saying. Playing the game itself will show you more than you can learn by reading this Bible.

The main reason i like the m14 is when i shoot in burst i shoot 4 instead of 3. THats the main reason i like it.

I am never one to call a gun a newb gun but, I never even called the IW or New tubes newbie guns, but sometimes I have to call the M14 a newb gun. I mean I have seen this gun shoot through one person and kill another, it in general creates lag with its range ability and fire rate, and EVERYONE USES IT. I must agree with whoever posted the comment earlier about the talent of Socom players diminshing. I mean I played all night the other day in a Medley room and 90% of the time 90% of the people used m14s on both sides, and there was no a sniper to be found. The game is getting pretty mundane if you ask me. But I will keep on piling up head shots with my HK5SD and STG77 and go on with my life. Sorry about the rant but that is my 2 cents.

You know what I think that I am going to start a new topic called Has Socom become too Conformative...WHY?

Plenty of people already say its a newb gun due to its power and fire rate, but i say that i can use the same logic saying that a m4A1sd is a newb gun due to its silencer and accuracy. Doesnt mean its a newb gun.
