Weapon Setups for Novice Players

[Sgt-Miller]

If you are very new to the online world of SOCOM 3, here are some weapon setups that might help you along while you get the hang of online gameplay.

SEALS:

M-16 A2
w/High Scope and Rifle Laser

Mk-48
w/Bipod and Rifle Laser

M-60 E3
w/Bipod

M-87 ELR
w/High Scope and Bipod

IW-80 A2
w/Rifle Laser and Front Grip

HK-36
w/Front Grip and Rifle Laser

HK-5
w/Red Dot Scope and Rifle Laser

Terrorists:

M-16 A2
w/High Scope and Rifle Laser

AG-94
w/Red Dot Scope and Rifle Laser

STG-77
w/Rifle Laser and Front Grip

RA-14
w/Rifle Laser and Front Grip

F-90
w/No Attachments

M-60 E3
w/Bipod

M-82 A1
w/High Scope and Bipod

The reason I pick these weapons are because of the relative ease of use. These weapons provide a good basis for learning which can lead to much more varied attachment selections.

These are just some ideas for the new online people out there. This is just my opinion, so feel free to add on what you like.

*addition*

You know, I've found (for myself, just offering it to those who MIGHT like to try something different) that whenever I've used a weapon without any attachments for about.........5 or so games, when I start to actually USE the attachments, I'm much more efficient...

I really don't know why that is....

But I guess people could try it and see how that works.

nice list

this helps me a lot

now i know what kind of guns are which


so that i wont be called a noobie

[_NIGHTBRINGER_]

lat me just add one thing in

dont mean to insult you or anything miller but..


bipods on sniper rifles are pointless, iv sniped my whole socom career..in beginning i used bipods, now i dont, well on machine guns sometimes..

but on sniper rifles they dont steady scope, it just increases accurace in prone out of scope..which..doesnt really help

so, when your sniping..do not use a bipod, just adds more weight

[Sgt-Miller]

Bipods will steady the scope while you are proned. When you scope in while proned the crosshairs steady alot quicker then they would without a bipod.

Remember, I'm gearing this for newer people. Newer people won't have the skills yet to be able to zoom in quickly and get the kill. With the bipod, they can practice this skill (i.e. run, drop to prone, zoom in, and take the shot with less crosshair wobble).

I've been sniping since day one also. There is no such thing as a useless attachment. The attachments are made to take into account the many different playing styles of SOCOM.

Remember, just because you may not find an attachmant useful to your playing style, doesn't mean that it's automatically useless for everyone else (Example: I use the low scope alot, but most people think that attachments is pointless.)

If you can't adjust to the little aiming dot I really do suggest the Rifle Laser.Good Job Miller

[NewKillian]

if u cant snipe without a bipod in PRONE on socom 3, dont even snipe!

in my opionion the rifle laser dosent do anything but pur a red dot in the middle of ur screen

[SoggyMilk]

Well, I gotta disagree w/ you there, dan... It does increase your accuracy, however little it may be... At least I think it does....

Try running around w/ an M14 w/ no attachments for about 3 rounds.

Then do the same thing w/ a laser on it and you should notice a bit of difference.

Exactly! That attachment will get you tons of headshots. I mainly use it on the HK5 though.
