what's better?

RickTheRipper · 02-21-2006

what do you guys think is better, a weapon with a front grip and medium scope or a gun with a front grip and silencer (doesnt matter which one). i know that with the silencer u keep stealthy and everything but w/o one u can shoot farther and use ur scope and the gun is possibly stronger. i myself like both combo's but dont know which one is better.

This has been posted a million times in other threads, but i feel the need to say it again.......SILENCERS DO NOT REDUCE THE STOPPING POWER!!!
geez

but as for your question, it all depends on your tactics and the level. For larger levels, the scope may help you out in engaging targets at range. Conversely, on small levels, the silencer may be useful as to not alert nearby enemies to your presense. It ust boils down to the requirements of the situation

Front grip and suppresor.

i would have to say the front grip and surpressor too

SHASTINTOR · 02-22-2006

Depends on a lot of things, but overall the front grip and suppressor is probably a little better. Having a scope on your weapon really decreases the accuracy when fired using the iron sights. (crosshairs outside of the scope)

It depends on for what. Some maps, it's better to be silent, and you don't really need a scope, like Citadel. There's no need for a scope, and there's tons of little hiding spots where you can see lots of the map. There's no need to be loud and have a scope.

Other maps, like Killing Fields, are big enough that it doesn't matter if you're quit or not, but a scope can be an asset due to the map size. it alld epends on the map for me.

Try the M-4 A1 with a Medium Scope and Long Suppressor. It's not the greatest for long ranges, but you can snipe silently. It's still decent in CQC as long as you keep your cool and burst the rounds instead of going full-auto.

You can also do this with the IW-80 A2 (a little better range).

I call set-ups like these the "Recon" set-ups. Combine these weapons with a Ghillie. You can stay hidden and snipe from decent ranges, and when somebody gets up close, you can still engage them with quicker fire.

M4A1 4x Scope--Suppressor 1. Greatest gun for Fault.

M82A1A 4x Scope. Greatest gun for Citadel

AG-94 Medium Scope--Rifle Laser. Greatest all-around gun in the whole freaking game.

9mm-Sub-Rifle Laser. Only cool people use these

552--Anything. Horrible. This weapon absolutely blows.

F90--Camping. Noob.

STG 77 -- Front Grip--Rifle Laser. This gun has amazing accuracy. Its awesome.

M14--High Scope--Rifle Laser. This gun is a skill weapon. Its only good if you're a good player.

Teh Pump-Rifle Laser--SLUGz. This weapon is probably the most lethal gun in Citadel Small.

M16A2--Rifle Laser--High Scope. This gun is annoying when used against you but its the all-around gun I suppose.

F90--Camping. Noob.

M87ELR 4x Scope. Best gun for Sniping No Crossing. Because lets face it. You're gonna cross sooner or later and its funny watching ppl with High Scopes trying to snipe you when you got yourself a 4x scope.

SR-25 Medium Scope--Silencer. Probably the most boringess gun in the world.

M60E3/Mk.48 No attachments. A real man's gun. As long as you never stop firing the whole map and you rush everygame. Its the lag king and when you use it you can hold your head up high and say "I'm just messing around and still owning these F90 campers on Fault"

M40A1 Medium Scope. Its probably one of the weakest Sniper Rifles. Non-Semi-Automatic like the SASR or SR-25 and it gives your position away. Its probably one of the worst guns in the game. But here's where it comes in to play. Lets say someone starts talking smack to you in the lobby. You pull this baby out and kill him with it. That means he is the ultimate noob. Dieing by the worst gun in the game after he talked so much smack.

F57--Rifle Laser. This gun is so under-rated. I went in with this pistol against 4 SEALs using their M4A1's and M16s. Yeah I got hit once and I they all dead. This gun is the ultimate headshot material weapon. In a pistol fight this will win over any other one in mid-range combat. 226 is a close second because its so hawt but F57 is better in my opinion.

F90--Anyone. Noob

RA-14--Medium Scope--Rifle Laser. This gun is simply amazing mid-range/short range. It shoots almost as fast as an F90 and you're not a noob if you use it. Its got good accuracy!

IW-80 A2. Simply pathetic. I wasted 10 hours getting this crap gun. It has the worst accuracy I've ever seen. Its only semi-good if you add a Rifle Laser+Front Grip. Even then it fires slow and your probably dead by another F90 camper.

M8--Suppressor 2--Bi-Pod. This gun is simply ownage on Antenora Small. Even though your camping with it it helps out your teammates hold out an entrance why they use their attention on another. Its got horrible accuracy standing up though. Overall I think its semi-great.

Model 18--Rifle Laser. This gun has gotten soooooo good over the years. Socom 1 it was horrible. Now in Socom 3 its flippin awesome. Its got the 17 bullets in yo *** before you can switch to your pistol.

ZX25 Airburst: This is my all-time favorite camper kill method. This baby can kill camp snipers on any map. I simply love it because Socom was ghay and forget gravity was in the game. You can shoot accross maps such as Devil's Road to get those nasty campers. I do not mind people using this gun as long as they keep it to a 75meter ++ range. If you use it in a gun fight your a noob.

AT-4s/RPG-7 = The most fun weapon in the game. Nothings funner than running up on some noob who is camping. You run up RIGHT behind him and press L2. You be like Cover Me! and the look right at a rocket jamming up their throat.

Tank-- Love the tank. Its perfect in so many ways.

Ok theirs my opinions on guns. Never have a thread like this again because all my ideas are perfect.

well snibbidy doo guys (and possibly gals) thanks for the input. oh and for whoever posted before me just now, i agree with u for the most part on ur weapon analysis, except for the 552. maybe the gun just doens't work right for u (it has internal feelings and can sense ur negativityness [cool word huh?] and decides not to work properly). i on the other hand do fairly well with it, but then again thats me. anyway, like i said, thanks for the input and i will be sure to put it to good use.

oh, one more thing, if u use the combo with a suppressor and scope, doesn't ur accuracy go to crap and if u get into a mid range fight, wont u get owned? just wondering, cuz if this isnt true then ill have to try that combo out.

The names Death Habit. And don't you forget it! I had fun writing all that out too. Hopefully more people see it
