Battlefield 3 - What is your favorite Loadout?

So guys,

 

I am starting this thread to provide a sort of guidance to BF gamers who are not "hardcore" on the game that much and can benefit from some suggestions by more experienced Soldiers out there.

 

BF3 unlocks are a jungle to me and I do not think "the latest unlock is always the best". So many rifles and MGs... I really get confused.

 

I would love to have someone just explaining their fav loadout so someone like me can try to focus on what to get.

 

Buttom line one question could be:

"I got unlocked the Scar and the G36c, besides the personal pleasure to unlock everything, which one is the rifle i should try to unlock because has better performances? it does make any real difference?"

 

If you feel like explain your loadouts and why you prefer a weapon better than another, that would be very beneficial for Noobies like myself :)

 

Thx, appreciated :)

I personally prefer the knife to all loadouts, but it takes some manuvering to use it.

 

As for guns, the devs keep changing up the weapons systems so I'm constantly confused on what rifle packs the best punch. I used to always get killed with the SCAR, then the F2000 zip gun that fires 40,000 rounds per minute, and now I keep getting killed with the G36. Go figure.

 

The guns I've used so far that worked the best, well at first it was the M4, then it got nerfed, so I started using the P3000 or whatever which had a good power/kick ratio. Now that's been nerfed and I've had better success with the M16-A3.

 

When all else fails, the grenade is always fun.

good luck Batwing, i'm 99 hours in and haven't found a kit i'm happy with! i change loadout everytime i spawn to deal with the current threat.

 

i found the game really tough until i unlocked the SCAR H, then it got easier to kill people, but you will still get gunned down by the support monkies at close/medium/long range or jumping while shooting from the hip. then the scar got nerfed and i moved to other kits but this is mainly to unlock all the other guns.

 

biggest problem is that no matter what kit you have there is always something better in certain circumstances, this happens a lot because ther is so many damn players and so many damn vehicles and planes.

 

 

 

scar h is a good weapon and will out range the g36

g36 is slightly better in cqb because of a higher rof and shooots from the hip better in my experience.

 

they are both engineer which is a good choice and this is what i went with at first because of all the damn armor, plus you can deal with any thread with the engineer kit afaik.

 

been killed a lot by the A91 btw :MSNCRY:

 

a front grip and a red dot scope are great additions for any kit and usually both unlocked at 30 kills iirc.

 

 

 

to throw a spanner in the works, give the m249 a shot, with foregrip/red dot/extended mag for a bag full of kills. amazing how little recoil the support guns have.

I hate the whole "OMG DICE! TEH M4 IS SO UB3R POWERFUL!!! I KEEP GETTING KILLED BY IT!!! NERF!!!!1!!" idealogy. I could go on about how to change it, but it wouldn't make it to the devs here.

 

Basically, any gun is useable. The more you use it, the fancier the unlocks you get. Personally, Assault I use the 416 with an ACOG, MASS or M320, and a heavy barrel. Engineer, it's the M4 or AKSU with holo, foregrip, and suppressor. I add the AT/AA launcher dependant (want - javelin), EOD bot for fun, and whatever in the last slot.

 

Basically, pick a class that matches your play style, and then try all the guns to see which ones you like. Don't worry about which one is better than another, your skill will more than make up for it (and lag is a non-issue. I play with you guys from Hawaii, and I still rank top despite any lag that may be present.

This is good info, let s keep it rolling guys!

 

Althogh is true that you have to adapt to the moment need and there will be some rifle ppl prefer and other dont, is very nice to see how each one approach the loadout.

 

I actually just got the G36 but obviously my accessories are on the more used M4 and AKSU. it seems I have a lot of issue to achieve any kill with rifle with the BURST fire.. that is not enough for me to kill. I need a solid amount of bullets in my target to see the enemy going down.

 

I play almost only engineer, seldom support. I read the Suppressor si lowering the damage and range. i already do not deliver that much of damage, i was wondering how much that really reflect on the crazy fast action on this game.

 

I am not gonna take a "sniper" shot with an M4 suppressed anyway... my kills are all quite medium or close range, i guess that will not change my life, right ?

 

Keep it rolling guys, this is interesting :)

Engineer: Aks, 1911, Jav, Repair kit. With 64 man servers, there is always somebody with a laser, so the jav is a 1 shot kill to tanks.

 

Assult: Used to be the m16a3... but the patch killed it. AK-74 is a great gun. I typicall only use the red dot for my sights.

I have a bottle opener on my bone saw. :thumbsup_anim:

 

Really though I hear it all the time from my friends, they don't want to play with me because "they need to rank up and get 'better' guns" They are all the same crap and the best way to do well is work as a team and put lots of fire on target. :wallbash:

I played against some dude that had exploding shells for his auto-shotty and it was like the entire map was shaking everytime he came in.

 

I've often thought of spawning in with a grenade launcher or 249 and just turning circles while shooting to see how many kills I rack up, because on any server above 24 that's pretty much what it is like.

 

The sniper rifles are a joke, having to shoot twice to 3 times at 100m with an SVD just to kill somebody = joke.

My current favs

 

SCAR H 3.4 mag scope can't remember which one

 

M249 foregrip and extended mag

 

M240 bipod and extended mag

 

I don't use flash suppressor, heavy barrel or suppressor on any weapon cos it nerfs it in some way. I used the IR scopes a lot but now they are nerfed I've been experimenting and the 3.4 mag scopes are comming up tops for me at the moment.

IMHO, the frag rounds for the shotguns were a BAD IDEA. I can deal with getting killed by claymores, C4, grenades, M320s, etc. But the frag round on an extended clip, fully-auto shotgun? Hecks no.

 

Edited for applicable content...

 

I find that any of the burst-fire weapons are difficult to use versus the fully-auto. They have a tendancy to jam, and can't put out the same rounds that full auto can. however, when you're russian, it's your only option to use US weapons until you unlock the basics again.

If you want to irritate your opponents:

 

Knife, nothing is more disconcerting.

 

USAS12, reflex/Kobra, torch and frag rounds, pisses everyone off. Once you have this its available in all kits.

 

Mortar.

 

Otherwise

 

Assault - F2000, M145/reflex, foregrip, torch. High rate fire, low recoil, fast to deploy. Good for short to medium range encounters, Take medkits and defib or m320 and defib

 

Engineer - SCAR H is popular, but I prefer the G36 with Reflex or M145, foregrip, torch. Take mines on a big map to ruin someones day.

 

Support - M249 with reflex sight, foregrip and extended mag, great for suppressing in tight maps take C4 for the thrill of planting on a tank and ammo pack.

 

Recon - EMR with M145 scope, I have used it with 8x and 12x as well, but the scope shines like a torch to everyone on the map even when its not aimed. The EMR can kill with one head shot but its not very powerful, The M145 is a 3.4x scope so it will not give your position away. The EMR is a Co-op award weapon.

 

Try to use award weapons since you will not be able to access the deafault weapons all the time. For example, lets say you like the SVD. until you have 220,000 recon points you will only be able to use it when you are playing the russians. Award weapons are always available.

 

Last thought, I have a lot of tasty weapons all ranked up, but I am still crap, because I dont know how to use cover properly. I like tanks when you have a good pair or trio. I still get killed by c4 or Rocket ambushes, but when you and your partner are on a roll its a lot of fun (less so for the enemy).

 

Its a frustrating game, good luck.

Good thoughts so far :)

 

yeah, I do agree about the Knife frustration.. lol.. I guess is the reason why they put it in this kind of games :)

 

I like this game, but i take it in small doses.. i usually play about 1 hour at the time, so i don t get too much frustrated and possibly i enjoy it :)

Also.. if i see i die too often, i just disconnect and play another game :) lol.. it is almost like when you go gambling to the Casino.. if you see is a tiotal wrong day, just pack your wallet and leave.. till you still have a car to drive.. lolol..

 

Now, I know, this is not the "hardcore" behavior and probaly will take 3 life spans to unlock all of the crap.. but hey.. I still like the game :)
