Bad move Det, you have opened a can of worms that will lead to angry debates and flaming. You should not have gone there....

1. Dude, so according to your statement, it is better for a squad to have a sniper running around. It is a bad idea to run in a squad with a sniper rifle... You will die in close quarters combat.

2. To your statement about cammo/RDX, if you run with that, you better have the cammo for a good reason. It is better to go with all explosives than to go with cammo, because cammo is useless when trying to help your squad... You can function beautifully as a person defending the rear by dropping APMs and RDX traps....

3. Who cares about medics, who cares about supports, who cares about engineers? This conversation is about the use of the Lambert, so Det, I think it is very inappropriate for both of us, let alone anyone here, to use players' names when making threads like this... If you are not careful, you will insult people and hurt their feelings and possibly make enemies that way... I could very well feel like telling you that I do not need your advice and that you could shove it where the sun does not shine, but I am not bothered to that point by what you said. I have no idea who you are, I do not think I have ever played with you on the server, but I know that I play in my own style which fits into the TG way and I am accepted for doing so. When I use the recon kit, I use it when I am in a squad when it is appropriate and when the SL is fine with me doing so. Some one once said this before, but playing the recon kit requires some skill to begin with. I am basically saying that everyone should watch how we word things, because we could make enemies and start flame wars...

Sometimes, I think the best way to learn is through practice. The best way to learn how to use a Lambert is through sheer use of the Lambert. If a person does not want to spend more time practicing with the Lambert, then I hope the person will have the desire to play with another gun.

Um, okay.

1. True, the Lambert is better for CQC, but is it overall more useful for squadplay? In my experience, no, but thats just me, you may use it wonderful extents. I think personally that I could do more damage with a sniper rifle rather than the Lambert, but thats just me. I didn't try to flame your style of play in my last posts, I was just telling what I think would be a more useful way for me personally to help my squad/team. Im sure you have much more experience than me playing both overall and with the carbine, I'm only voicing my opinion of how I generally play Recon.

2. I usually use camo just because I think my style of playing Recon on armor maps is geared towards armor destruction. Most of my RDX kills come from sticking vehicles like APCs, tanks and walkers, not from infantry. You say that you protect your squad's back by dropping APM and RDX traps, and I understand the APM part but how do you know when to trigger the RDX? Unless they're at a flag and you see it go neutral, but even then it is likely that someone will survive and revive. Even with APMs its unlikely you will make the other team lose a ticket because they will just revive. I use camo over APMs for this.


3. Again, I wasn't trying to tell you that your style of play isn't useful. Its just that generally the other classes are either more useful than the Recon kit, or are useful more of the time. Its a fact. The Recon kit can kill people. The assault can revive and heal, the support can resupply, and the enigneer can repair, and that isn't even counting their equipment that they can carry. Its a fact. No offense intended.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. Does anybody know how many bullets it takes for the Lambert to drop someone at max damage-distance (i.e. CQC)?

@SIDIOUS: Lol.
