What's the deal with spray firing?

LOL!!!!!

You need to use the correct weapon for the circumstances. In my clan, we all have our areas of expertise. Mine happens to be "heavy support". That means that my primary weapon will usually be an MK or M60.

What do these weapons do that is so great? Well, the high rate of fire makes them ideal for pinning down a single tango while your team flanks him, it makes a fantastic "curtain" to protect team members while they plant/disarm the bomb, and my very favorite, the huge ammo capacity makes it possible to storm long hallways and get at campers. Yep, the machine guns are the ultimate camper-getters.

Using them to hose bullets everywhere is just a fringe benefit.

And for those who think it takes no skill, you just put down your sniper rifle for a few rounds and actually join in the game, and see how you do.

Oh, yeah. I also snipe with my MK. It is hella-cool talking sh!t in the lobby to some guy that you picked off with an MK.

I agree with cOmmand3r, you kill your opponent by any means necessary. To say that people who spray CAN'T aim is wrong. When your in a close quarters fight your to scared to think about aiming for the head to get a head shot so you can gloat about how you always aim. Everyone sprays at a point and to say you've never done it is a total lye.

I believe the entire purpose of this game is to use all weapons, vehicles, and equipment at your disposal to eliminate the other team by any and all means necessary. In that case I am going to do whatever I do best to take out the other team. If that involves a spary fight at close quarters, so be it. I won't feel like I cheated the player I just killed. He had equal opportunity to kill me and my other teammates. I just got to him first. Although I find precision shooting from a distance away from my target to be more effective on most maps, I will start to hold down fire and aim for the upper chest and head in close quarters. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Woah hold on, don't get the wrong idea. I am not saying you are a noob or you cheat because you use a sepcific gun. What I am asking is don't you kind of find it boring and automatic if you just press and hold R1 and hope for the best? I am in no way flaming or calling anyone a noob because they spray. All I asked was a simple question. If you have fun spraying I will in no way stand in between you and that.

Remember, I did NOT say you suck or you can't aim if you spray. My question was:

Don't you kind of find it boring and automatic if you just press and hold R1 and hope for the best? This mostly refers to the people that spray all the time. See if I pulled out an P90 (Don't start anything out of this please don't) and I just started shooting at their body. Boom headshots everywhere. I put it away after about 10 kills because I didn't see the fun in it. To me it was all based on luck not how well you play. See I started playing again a couple of days ago after I stopped playing for 8 months. So I am not really good right now (5-7 kills a game at best) but after I pulled out the P90, I was doing it like a pro, and that also goes for any gun that sprays ok? Not just the P90 os don't say "yeah that's because P90 is a noob gun you n00b".
