stupid RO not giving me my BC damn you!

Post by Rikman » 15 Feb 2018, 11:05

I have been in rounds where the RO refuses to give out BC’s for some unknown reason. This just makes me SLIGHTLY COUGH MAD COUGH for the remainder of the round until he finally lets us get a BC. Any thoughts on these RO guys?

If you're a PFC and you expect a BC from the RO you're going to have a bad time.

They usually reserve them for robust players and roles of importance like smartgunners and spec

ok I guess I have fulfilled the stereotype of a standard marine?
I get it now. The numbers... they all make sense.

Just make friends with the usual ROs and CTs. Or just give them backpacks of supplies so they don't have to waste more time gathering them later (if we even get working access to marine prep anyway). I know that it will make me happy

Smartgunners don't need BC's and should not take them. Give BC's to regulars and or SL's. Those are the people that need it most.

Smartguns live off being either fast firing laser beams with no attachments, or simi-shotguns with BFA's. No attachments is better, but I won't cut you for taking a BFA. BC tho, or BFA AND BC. Thats a paddling.

Specs don't need that shit since they should be using their fucking Spec gun. Sniper ammo or scout ammo is super easy to get now so they don't need to take a second gun. Rockets are crazy good so even if it's a young drone fucking blast it. GL should be doing it's best to always trap something with nade spam. Use your fucking gun, you don't need to take a M41 or a M37 if your a spec.

CPL's of the engi and medic types can miss me with that gay shit. They get gyro and magharness or they come back later when they realize they should have taken a gyro and a magharness. They don't get anything special since they should be doing their job first, shooting second.

Robust PFC's and SL's. Them's the boys you load up with BC's or other limited supply attachables.

M4RA can't take a BC. The HPR can and it can kinda works, not totally sure though. Gun's kinda slow enough as is.

False. She made me hand reload an HPR mag once from prep because she was too lazy to do it herself, unforgivable

This, smartgunners actually suffer when they take attachments for the smartgun i feel. It would actually be better to bump up your secondary weapon into something feasible for when you get caught without ammo or prepped for it.

That and BCs work well with rifles (shotguns for sure, just hope you give that sucker a gyro with it and the marine wielding it is not a vapid moron). A BC'd rifle can seriously add firepower in a compact format that any marine could actually use if the weapon is dropped.

You can give a smartgun to every marine, and they would still find a way to FF with it.

IMO, BC rapes accuracy and adds more stray bullets and recoil, it should only be used on buckshot shotguns, I dont really think smartgunners need it, but what do I know.

BC's really really suck on smartgunners, it just robs them of their actual ability. "Suppressive fire."

Also, git gud with the vanilla Pulse rifle and shotgun, then try to get attachments to improve upon. If you rely attachments to make you good, then you have some issues.

People need to stop thinking of it as a downgrade, and think of it as a sidegrade.

You lose your ability to suppress, but you gain the ability to outright kill things.

If you don't put a BC on your smartgun you're wimping out. Go big or go home.

Bonus points for BFA and BC so you can go melee range and just dump the damage in.
