BF2S Forums The Steyr AUG is officially poop on a stick

XM8 > all

Perfect balance, amazing accuracy.

An 94

Yeh,, the fact that they didn't add a delay between bursts AND gave it the highest damage of all the ARs really turned it into the M60 of the assault class

F2000 is moar poop on the stick liek.

Seriously, I hate how it takes 7-8 shots to drop someone on regular.

On hardcore, it's decent, 3-4 shots to drop.

AN94 or the M16 with 4x Scope does the trick for me. nothing makes me laugh more than me hiding in the bushes seeing people run towards me only to get popped in the head with my assault rifle.

The problem with the AUG is that it doesn't do any one thing better than the other assault rifles.  It's just kind of...meh. 

I feel like, of all the kits and their respective gun selections, the assault rifles have the least variance in their functionality.  They just have a different "feel" to how you have to use them.

But, that said,

AN 94 and M416 FTW.

I think you sprint faster with the AUG, but not sure.

No, just no.

L85 is the ultimate spray and pray weapon. Try and shoot in small bursts or single shot with it and you won't hit shit but if you go full auto MB1 down mode you'll be getting headshots all over the place.

v0v i use it the other way around, single shot headshots. i find up close spray and pray (lolkarkand) its just too unreliable over an AK to bother using.

I agree with both, full auto spray and pray is funky awesome. however, you HAVE to switch fire modes if your gonna go semi.

This comes from a confessed "L85A1 whore"


I dislike the M16 too. It's simply inferior technology to NEWER gas piston guns (AK GTFO).

This is something they should've ported over from BF2. I miss being able to select semi/burst/auto (depending on weapon)

Ugly is subjective. I think the 'futuristic' weapons like the Steyr AUG and F2000 are hideous.

The M-16 is a reliable weapon. It had problems early in Vietnam but they were fixed in the past 50 years

but still the short-recoil gas impingement makes regular cleaning (every other day is what I've heard) cleaning a must. The G36/SCAR/XM8/HK416 remains clean after firing (what I've heard too).

it was the HK416

I completely agree, it's totally relative. Whether a gun is pretty or not should never be an issue. Design however, the way it's held, etc. is very important, and the M16 is amazing and excels in accuracy, design, reliability.

If you clean an M16 once a day, it will work when we need it. Another big issue is lube. You use the wrong lube on ANY gun and it's fucked depending on the conditions you're shooting in. I've held so many guns, and the M16 is the most comfortable, the mag release, the bolt release, the sights, everything about it is just perfect for combat.

The only drawback I can think of with the M16 is the light caliber.

Meh, if I were to live in the US where owning an semi-assault rifle was possible, I couldn't be arsed to clean it that often... I could live with once or twice a month...
In which case I guess I'd have to get some kind of AK / M416 or a Colt 1911...
Good thing 1911's are so fucking awesome then


Oh btw, isn't the reload animation of the FAL in MW2 the coolest reload animation evar?

Can anyone tell me if that is the intended way to reload it IRL? or is it just a gimmick from the game?

Waste of a perfectly good mag tbh. Most soldiers put the mags back on their vest when they reload so they can refill it later. Only time when you want to reload like that is in combat in pure desperation. Or if in your a position in which your not moving and can pick up the mags later.
