So I always roll with a sniper as a secondary but what would you people say is the best Primary class and why.
I switch between the p90 and some other assault rifle. I'm by no means close to getting all weapons on the game. Who can suggest a decent Assault or Sub gun to roll with!
Peace
Well, there is no "class" in this game so if you are asking what we think the best weapon combo is I would say a solid AR and a sniper. The AR will fit any situation as well as give you the means to engage targets 100-200m away but the sniper backup is good for clearing out sniper towers and alarms prior to getting in AR range. I tried the SMG's and LMG's but always found myself falling back to the AR. I currently use the MK 17 and the HTI sniper as my loadout.
Loud MG121 backed up with a silenced 556xi tricked out with M203 and combo scope. That gives me heavy firepower for convoys and choppers, as well as medium snipe and good short range capability. For those really short indoor encounters I use a M11.
My friends like to be snipers, and during single player the AI pretty much can only snipe. I feel there's enough of that.
For me it's the M4A1 as my primary (the one you can place add ons on, not the reward one) as I just think it's an all round really good rifle and also just looks good.
My secondary is the MSR sniper rifle. I've used a few others but not found them to be ideal for me, or what I'm after. The MSR seems to be fitting the bill at the minute. Really not a fan of the 50 cal thing, it's huge and loud.
My default loadout is an AR (currently G36c) with grenade launcher and a sniper rifle (first one you get in the game M40A5?).
When I know it's going to get loud it's the same AR with the MG121 as secondary.
I don't bother with SMGs, they lack range, damage and penetration and in most games including this seem to be a poor mans Assault Rifle
I'm still only on my second region (limited time to play) so I'm sure I'll change my loadout as and when I unlock new weapons and upgrades
Never underestimate your pistol too. You can use it for short to semi medium range quietly very efficiently when facing the cartel. This can allow you to take a sniper rifle with a silencer for one and then something stronger (no silencer) for your 2nd weapon like one of the named rifles or LMG for when crap hits the fan. At least until you get the skill where it eliminates the damage reduction of the silencers. You'd be surprised at what you can shoot through in the game and how much the silencer lowers penetration/damage. It's so satisfying blasting enemies through walls and fences with a shotgun/LMG or taking out a whole building of enemies with a minigun on one of the large attack helicopters.
