Lurked for a while but have finally managed to play first game with my son last weekend. So much fun. Now completely hooked.

 

Learnt that AEG's  in standard form have limited range and rate of fire. Opponents with upgraded guns could often out-range us and engage before we could return fire accurately. Never had too much difficulty spotting opponents even at distance but would have loved a 500 FPS rifle with good scope.

 

Played with a great team who carried us on our first outing.

Don't be tempted to get into sniping just yet, it costs a lot more than people think and isnt as easy as you think it would be. I think a lot of people make that mistake hence the abundance of snipers on the classifieds.

Can't beat the firepower of an aeg.

Thanks for the advice. We had missions which gave snipers have a big distance advantage with the lack of cover and undergrowth especially at this time of year.  Will stick with the AEG's for the moment. Guns being upgraded now. We'll see how we get on next time.

Welcome,glad your first game was good dont worry about snipers remember you were up against people who know the site and have the experience and probably pretty expensive RIFs to boot,its great fun finding ways to beat them perhaps try flanking attacks or chuck some smoke down you only need to get a short distance towards them then your in beautiful AEG auto fire range a few 1 second bursts and their done,then just keep the pressure on after that,good communication and team work win more games than lone wolf snipers and expensive kit

Great advice. Thanks.  Definitely agree about experienced snipers with local knowledge.

 

Will be trying Ground Zero near Ringwood on Sunday. Can't wait!

Played our third game on Sunday. This time it was back to Bravo Romeo. Best yet despite the rain.

 

What we have learnt:

1. Marshals make a huge difference. Their guidance is invaluable to new players like us. 

2. Big or sprawling sites with time limited objectives or roving objectives are difficult especially for new players (unless you are in a good squad).

3. Respawn areas, where both teams can respawn simultaneously are horrible. Separate respawns are easier.

4. Telling who is alive and who is dead can be problematic. Active players hiding among dead men marching have caught us out on quite a few occasions.

5. Overshooting needs to be controlled better. 

6. Good squad communications makes for a better game.
