jLawl 40K reference... any way , as for me, my battle plan changes pending on what weapon I get... if I have a sniper rifle, I sit, and aim. Or if I have a machine gun, I run in and shoot any thing that is shaped like a person, or any thing that moves.Kollega said:
If your firing a slow weapon ten of course.
If you have a rapid fire weapon accuracy helps of course.

no gun jams in games man... And if they wanted you to think the allies guns were awesome why does the thompson suck? The lee enfeild was not unreliable, it was heavy as hell but not unreilable. But lets not nit pick on an aspect that seriously no one but you or I care at all for.Spirultima said:
1 shot 1 kill.
While my accuracy is usually low in games I never spray. I am a long ranger and will melee if they are too close to shoot at.

In MW2 I use a triple shot gun the M16A4 so it pays to be accurate but if a person is hiding I will either spray until I get him or if not spray and then leave a few bullets in the clip. When he believes I am reloding he pops his head out then BAM! Accurate head shot. If you mean that accuracy is a measure of skill then I don't care about it but it is always handy to be very accurate.
Well as praised as it is, its a rather pathetic attempt to get in to the Sniper Rifles, the German forces perfected it in WWI, and in WWII, they only got better (Just to let you know the Kar98 and the Kar98k are my favourite weapons in WWII, so expect me to nit pick with those sorts of weapons. I was going MAD over how in CoD: WaW they had the Kar98"k" though it lacked the scope OR the fact you have to load it bullet by bullet.)Vergast said:
Oh and the Thompson sucked more balls then Elton John in a gangbang.
I'm bad with the scout for just this reason, I can't get targets fast enough. That's why I'm a demoman!Reuq said:
OT: it depends what game, but I'm usually for accuracy.
It's fun to kill in melee, Especially in tf2 as a medic. The syringegun is tremendously bad if you can't predection-shoot.
Depends on my situation. Give me an M40, and I'll be precise. Give me two Mini-Uzis, and I'll kill through sheer numbers.
See, your my target, all I need is one shot and yo is a dead fool. Yet you need luck to get that one bullet to me (by one to me, I mean the quadrillion you fired, but the one that got through) and as The Sniper from TF2 said "Skill always beats luck"RamboStrategy said:

I prefer if I have the option to do both in a game, liked in Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, I liked using the M468 on single fire and auto depending on the situation,
Oh i whole haertly agree that the kar98 was a good sniping weapon, mausers weapons were the bases of the springfeild rifle of the americans. And you are right i supose, as a sniping weapon the german rifle was deadly effective, what with its inspired design. But where it lacks is its magazine. The lee enfeild surpass it there. The 10 rounds allong with the british infantrys mans training (ah i must include canadian and indian infantry men also) allowed the weapon to be fired in a much more concentrated quick and devistaing volly. Im sure youve heard of the occasions that german troops belived to be under machine gun fire when in fact it was a section of british firing devistaing quickly. So i conceed to you, the german rifle was the better for sniping (the leason drilled into the germans i belive starting from the american reveluison was that 'snipping' rifles were better due to the numerous occasions yankie sharp shots killed enemy officers) But if i were on the battlefeild of Yepes or the Arden forest i would have to choose the lee enfeild. In my mind the larger magazine, sturdy build and accuracy makes it the better weapon for ww2 shooters.Spirultima said:
I was noting, its my favorite.
What your saying is capacity is where the Kar98k fails, sure 5 shots isn't a lot if your combat sniping (Sniping in the middle of a battle) rather then tactical sniping (Waiting, basically) but the Axis were trained hard, very hard and so were trained to know when to fire and when not to, and when they did, it wasn't rushed.Vergast said:
We British make excellent things, no doubt, but Germany also excels and in one way they were superior was there snipers, better trained and better armed, to put nicely the Allies only just got into the sniping business were as the Axis were already adept at it.
I care little for the stories of war, unless ingenious or brilliant (for example The Battle of Hei Fei with Zhang Liao) if a unit believed to be under machinegun fire, it was a quick presumption, if your life is at stake, most people don't consider the firing rate of which they are under attack.
And "Sharpshooters" were around nearly as long as the first gunpowder, lead ball firing rifle was around. Sharpshooter implys someone who is accurate at a distance, the americans were not the originators of "sharpshooting".
I don't love something simply because im attached to it, I'll love something when I decide its superior or has the capacity of being something worth my attention (as snobby that sounds) The Kar98k was reliable, accurate, powerful (in terms of being able to pass through something such as a tree or light cover) considerably easier to take apart, clean and put back together, and could take quite some heavy weather conditions and still work at optimum capacity and this isn't even taking into consideration the men behind the weapon, the finger needs to pull the trigger and knowing when is key and so, why German snipers were superior to the Allied snipers (Not saying all the Allied snipers were a bunch of snotty nosed, pathetic excuses for human beings, just they weren't as experienced whether it be the experience of the training course or of the person behind the trigger)
(Also off topic, not being a grammar Nazi (no pun intended) or anything, but would you mind checking your spelling such when posting? Thanks)
