So.
made a new character.
not caring about anything other than killing with this guy. keeping a positive K/D ratio is my only focus.
trouble is, I'm a scrub. I can't shoot. I can't play. I'm terrible.
I play a support or stealth role of some sort in pretty much every game, because that is what I am usually good at. I've never been good at "gun game" (not that it is possible to have any "gun game" at all anymore since they nerfed the strafing speed).
and I never like vehicles, so I won't drive those. well maybe. we'll see.
but here, in Dust 514, the only support that really matters for Infantry is the nanite injector. maybe a nanohive here and there for some ammo. otherwise, doesn't matter, killing is the end all be all..
So I need to get good, so that I don't drag everyone else down. so help me out. show me some tips on how to not suck.
my initial theory is that since they nerfed circle strafing, I won't even look at a scout suit. so Assault it is. for now, i'm going to go out of my way to protect my K/D by trying as much as possible to only engage enemies when i have backup, and running from anything that might have a chance at killing me, and waiting to get the jump on them. can't fight head to head with anyone right now, I'll lose. I'm still running starter fits since I just started this character.
maybe once I get the hang of things, I'll consider being more aggressive.
first skirmish match I played with my new guy, I went 5/3, had 300-something WP (though the 5/3 is the more important figure there to me, with this character). Didn't feel very useful, but it was only my first match so it is bound to get better, right?
anyhow, I didn't bother hacking anything or dropping any equipment, focusing on getting good at the shooting first since I already know all the useless support crap pretty well.
so, help a scrub out, share some tips and pointers?
btw, this may seem sarcastic, but I assure you, its not. I'm not the type of person to deny my own shortcomings. I'm very honest about what I can and can't do, and that throws people off frequently. I'm really not super good at gunplay, thats why i play things where only a minimum of it is needed (like stealth or logi). I'm good enough to get things done, while in support roles, but thats about it. |
