i also think that the semi automatic snipers have a shorter range damage wise (damage drops over distance) while bolt action rifles exceed them and are effective over longer ranges. But yeah, in metro , stick with semi automatic and short range scope (4x/8x).

Oh and ps : ALWAYS have your mobile spawn out Smile


ok THAT makes a lot of sense... damage degradation over distance. cool, thanks.


i do not understand the second bit though...

mobile spawn = radio beacon.
place your radio beacon to flat surface. you or your squad can spawn on them

Slugs are only good if you're fighting at distances, imo Smile

Played for an hour, this game already annoys the hell out of me.
Can't set FOV? So much fun seeing only half of what my enemies see on my 5:4 screen Sad
Can't assign prone/crouch to mouse buttons. FU.
Admittedly, out of the series I only really played BF1942. But WTF happened? This feels like COD with it's closed spaces and about 10 yards to move. Can't find any servers hosting the other map, maybe that one is better.
Too many weapons that need to be unlocked in order to be nearly as well equipped as everyone else seems to be.

Well, probably keep playing anyway because it's atmospheric as hell.

It's so lame that they closed the Caspian Border servers, I didn't get a chance to play it and metro map belongs on COD.

Also why no conquest? Rush sucks.

yeah but in bf3 you die so quick from anything, you are rarely in close combat , usually people are quite far from each other, maybe in some maps shotguns become more handy, but in metro you have a lot of long corridors, where shotguns are rather useless (with CQ rounds, different with slugs/flechettes).

Just my sense speaking ^^

Tried it and the game didn't like it... at all.
Had to delete the file and let the game recreate it, otherwise it wouldn't go past the "initializing ..." when connecting to a server.

I might have made a mistake when I changed the value but I think not.

You get the nadelauncher after some progress on the assault class.The rifle then needs the underslug rail and you can pick the launcher on the medi-bag slot

Why would you use Flechette over Buckshot? Rarely someone survives 1 hit from buckshot from 10-20m..?
What penetration does it improve? If someone is wearing vest or something?

I'm curious about that too.

Hmm found this : Goes through thin walls and soldiers, which normal buckshot doesn't. But at a price: flechettes do less damage

Does it say anything about slugs? Do they do the same damage as buckshot, but at 1 point without spread?
