Layjock Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah, you know it! I just got legendary ranking on the Frenzy medal! God I love this Award Rifle. Who here likes it as much as I do?
ET Warrior Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I'm going to mildly hijack this thread, so as to make it a real discussion, and it'll be about discussing your favorite weapon ya? Otherwise this thread is headed to nowhere-town.
zerted Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Invisibility (a weapon?), then the sniper droid. Call me messed up, but I don't care. Those things are really good at getting units (AI and human) to stop following you. Award Pistol is a very good weapon.
Redtech Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah, the award pistol even has a scope (well, a functioning one, in FPV, almost every gun has a scope, but minimal zoom).
ParanoidAndroid Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 The award pistol is an excellent weapon. With it's zoom it's like a mini sniper rifle, and it can take down almost any unit in 1-2 shots (wookiee's take more of course) Plus almost every unit can take advantage of it unlike other award weapons. The only downside is that, it uses ammo, so it sort of defeats the purpose of having an rechargable backup weapon, but who cares? The pistol is cool, and your usually dead before you manage to deplete all your ammo. Anyway the award pistol is cool but my favorite weapon as of now is probably the wookiee bowcaster, that thing is like a shot gun mixed with a sniper rifle, and it's got double zoom as well. Not to mention the guy who carries it can live alot longer then a sniper. If only it had an award version...
TSR Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Award pistol rules, but ive grown towards the grenade/radiation launcher type weapons. its so funny on xbox live an' all,when you just hide behind cover launching mortars into the battlefield causing havok for the other team. It gives it a real cool feel.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Blaster Rifle.....chaingun......shotgun.....
PoiuyWired Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 the mortat types are not as for in BF2, in BF1 they were uber cool. Award pistol is nice. I wish they can increase the splash damage for the rockets. Now how about a melee weapon for BF2, like vibro-shiv, or electro-staff??
pcd927 Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Either the blaster rifle or the shotgun. A headshot will take your enemy out instantly. But can't a sniper rifle take someone out in one headshot? Yes, but i find it to be way too hard, especially when they're running around.
Redtech Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 The sniper can instakill via headshots, but WHOOSH! Sonic and chums are whizzing past you in StormTrooper uniforms! I would have preferred if the elite sniper was an instakill when charged up, but a lame rate of fire between charges, like a cross between the Jedi Outcast sniper rifle and the Quake 3 railgun.
MachineCult Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Redtech said: ...like a cross between the Jedi Outcast sniper rifle and the Quake 3 railgun. I hate that sniper rifle, it's like a water pistol or something it's crap.
PoiuyWired Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 hmmm... well, sniper headshots don't instakill a full health wookiee.
Layjock Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 Yes! My jacked thread has flourished! Anyway, I've been playing and I'm trying to gain Legendary in Regulator so I haven't been using the Award Rifle often. But since the topic's been changed, I'd have to say that my favorite weapon is the Award Pistol just because, like you said, it is awesome.
zerted Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 A sniper rifle headshot will kill any full health unit, including Jedi. Though, the award beam rifle doesn't seem to do head shots...
MachineCult Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I've never seemed to be able to get the Award Beam rifle, i've had 20 or 30 headshots with the sniper rifle and not got it.

Commander Obi-Wan Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Can't help you there. You should have got. Meh.
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun pretty much the standard, I wish there was an option however to trade the fusion cutter for pistol as an engineer, that would be a wicked combo for a character who has their own health and ammo;) The Flechette is nice (I'm usually in to close quarters to pay attention to it's nuances, but either I group my shots well or it actually passes through multiple targets) but I'd preffer something like a Jackhammer semi-auto shotgun for an award. I've actually stopped using sniper altogether because of the stupid beam rifle And most of all, I wish there was a dual chaingun award *starts salivating*
PoiuyWired Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I wish you can do damage with the fusion cutter at melee range, which is only reasonable... Getting jammed by that thing is not fun.
jawathehutt Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 i like the award pistol i got it using the jety which made it really easy i also like the award rifle and o course sabers
ghost hunter Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 i like the arc caster it suits my playing style zomming around and shocking a few people at once
