Some advice on RSV Live please?

[appolloondradis]

Ping is your connection to server.....three green lights outstanding, two yellows acceptable...red dot....get ready to have your butt booted off the match!

I read somewhere that the different ping colours were for different regions;green - europe,yellow - usa.Have I been duped

Only weapons i use are the MP7A1, the G3K4A and the Scout Tactial depending on the level or game mode. Just go for the head and your unstoppable.

I seem to get some good shots in while playing it live but then get the other person shoot me once & im gone.

Also how much difference does it make when you unlock new weapons, will they kill alot easier or is every one the same on Live?

And finally what are "PINGS"?
Thanks

First off, like a couple of others have said, you have to move to stay alive. You stand around in the open without cover, you are going to die and it's going to happen fast. I watched one guy on my team (a 1st Lieutenant like myself) tonight take out 1/2 of the opposite side on his own at the same time by moving erratically, alternating between ducking and standing, maneuvering around pieces of cover (concrete blocks, crates, etc) to absorb grenade blasts and bullets and using controlled bursts to keep his gun on target. Four kills, two of which were Elites, and he took only 1 hit. I suck at this play style myself, but work on the basics and you'll last a bit longer.

For new weapons, a gun is a gun. While you may find the concept of using the Desert Eagle once you rank up to Captain really cool, you might find it to be a cumbersome weapon compared to the other pistols in a Pistols Only match. You have to find a weapon that suits you for that map (close-in, long range, etc).

As for shields, they suck major ass. When I host, I ban them because otherwise the losing team simply loads up on shields and turtles into one corner for the rest of the game. I also ban the XM-26 auto shotgun as well as the radar jammer. If you are in a game that allows shields (most don't), just close the distance and unload from one of their vulnerable sides or drop a grenade and run like hell.

watch out
if you do the bob and weave
they can just bullet hose.
and theyll get you eventually
try more burst's

and as a private.
use a 552 commando.

i used to use an mp7a1 becauase it was my sniper. with a burst you could hit anything, i don't think it had a range.... and if you got into a firefight you can just let loose, best of both worlds. but! they changed it with the update, its accuracy dropped dramatically... i use the ak now, i burst on auto and i think i can hit most things, nice gun. Ranks anyone????? im a LT colonel (2 bars counting invisible) i dont play tht much tho.

[Boy Genius]

im an elite and i no weapons dont much difference at all ...only when we compare the mac to a mtar for example. every weapon is good.. its just how you use them... for a begginer i suggest an m3 shotgun with a laser. just find a gun your comfortable with and keep using it

[Plumer]

you need to aim with ur scope for every shot or else ur gun will just shoot everywhere. use the reflex scope, and turn ur x and y sensitivity to like 8 or 9 so you can look around quickly while your scoped in

I just take cover, get a few kills in from that spot, then i move. Keep doing the same thing. This game isnt really a run and gun type of game cuz its realistic, and only takes a few shots to get you killed.

Im a Lt. Colonel, (Almost a colonel) And i use the FAMAS, MTAR21, and the 552 COMMANDO alot.
