How can I not suck at this game?

@grrr33nflashThe base weapon preference completely depends from how exactly you want to play that class 😉

Ironically the only specialist weapon (and I'm a specialist main) where I have unlocked anything is the A280-CFE, because sniper play is straight boring imo while I prefer to play the specialist more like an assault soldier.

I'm more they guy who wants to capture objectives, flank and spearhead assaults.

Also the bullet speed is just as high as the other sniper rifles (1600 m/s) , making it easier to hit running targets than with any assault's weapon (700 m/s) on mid ranges.

But yeah, I remember it to be a real hassle to unlock the 3-round burst, all before co-op was introduced.

On the other hand it's also possible to kill snipers on very far range despite the recoil if you just don't burst too fast.

Often these guys won't retreat into cover because they think they have the better weapon and because lag and latency won't tell them in time that they got hit I guess.

Indoors I use the ion shots for the A280-CFE to bust heavy and droideka shields.

All other sniper rifles are still without any unlocks and I don't even feel the drive to co-op grind them.

Well, unless I want to play an anti-vehicle soldier one day. The NT + ion shot has proven to be really devastating in that regards, making the class essentially even better than the heavy for fighting off vehicles.

Like, is the officer the only class whose features are unique enough to not be used by a specialist in a smiliar, but more versatile way?

Don't play on cheap bp Enforcer days

Playing strike helped me a lot because the spawns are easy to track: each team speaks at opposite ends and that's constant throughout the match. Plus it's objective based which helps you know where people are a bit better, and if you actually play the objective you get a ton of points which helps you rank up better. Sometimes you get games where people just rush through and win it quickly but if not then it's great practice. And more importantly, in my experience it has less getting shot in the back than blast

After the game went on super sale a while back, I noticed an onslaught of cheaters.

Jumping insta-one shot headshot kills being the most prevalent.

Also thinking that there are lag-switchers playing now; sometimes it crashes the game.

It's impossible to report these types. as such, some are very flagrant about it.

I took everyone's advice and began playing Co-Op. Honestly that had not occurred to me before, but I wish it had. I've now pretty much maxed out Specialist and Assault. Now, I hope I can at least be competitive against opposing players in multiplayer. I've still got a lot to learn though because I'm often ranked last in the Co-Op missions.

For Specialist, the NT-242 is awesome, especially with improved cooling. Assault is a little harder to figure out, though I think I'll end up using the A280 with improved cooling and range. With that in mind, which player cards would you all recommend?
