So I've platinumed pretty much every AR, got done with the F2000 last night. Decided to pick up the AUG which I only have ~100 kills with, thought it'd be pretty similar to the F2000 and that the transition would be smooth.

The AUG has terrible long range accuracy! I could see the bullets spray all over the place while ADSing!
The F2000 seems like a veritable sniper rifle in comparison. D:

So, I've seen you praise this AR all over the place. I need tips. NAO.
Oh and yes, I naturally use the 40mm shotgun attachment and magnum.

I platted the aug as well. For the first 200 kills it was damn near inpossible to use. And the sound it made was annoying too. But then i put a rds on it and it worked much better. Then i switched to the 4x scope after bout 500 kills and found it working amazingly. Just tap fire in bursts of about 3 bullets at long range. Aim at about tgeir chest height and fire bursts for long range accuracy. The aug became my fastest AR plat. Bout 13 hours i think.

[Reflecks]

The AUG was the only AR i used till i got the m416, i thought it was amazing o.0.

That said, yeah the 4x scope helps a lot. The gun works dam good hipfiring at closer ranges. And yeah hes right quick bursts. I havent used it in a while so I can't really remember but i just tapped the trigger repeatedly at long range. I tried for 2rounds a burst.

[DeadCamper]

The thing is, I always tap fire. The F2000 isn't exactly known for being a long range beast, but with tap fire it was light years better at long range.
When tap firing in short bursts with the AUG, I could literally see the bullets spray around the target. :S

[Reflecks]

Really? Hmm i dunno like i said i havent used it in a while, next time i get on ill try and pick it up again, so i can give you my protips

[DeadCamper]

Maybe I was just unlucky, laggy server or something. I'll keep on trucking and see what happens. :>

[palto1826]

yeah...not really my favorite class to play as but the aug is my fav...and anan...the sound is awesome (at least i like it in my headset)...by far my favorite ar...i run mine with the 4x scope...funny thing is that i switched from the f2000 to the aug and it seemed like the aug killed much faster...all in all thats why i love this game...everyone has their favorites and they are all equal some way or another

[ananthaval]

I dont like the sound...it just doesnt sound as powerful as the other ARs. But srsly it takes a lil time to get used to. Once u do, u'll be lethal with it. And make sure to use the hipfire at close range like reflecks said. Or try starting off with an rds and then switching to 4x

[SovereignSpirit]

The AUG is really good at close range and that is where I hang. Its good at a close to medium with aiming, but just outside of knife range its great with hipfiring. Problem is in full auto it tends to spray everywhere. (Hint thats why its better used up close) Now for longer ranges, as long as you're bursting it, you'll be fine. One of my favorite things on that gun is the irons. I never put any scope on it and I could after taming the beast, easily take out long range targets.

The AUG is like a bull at a rodeo. You just have to learn how to stay on for the 8 seconds. Hard to do, but if you can, its worth the work.

Stinger. <3

To the rest of you: The thing that's discouraging about your tips is that that's how I already play. D:
So, hopefully it was just lag... :/

[SovereignSpirit]

Some guns fit some people while others don't. I went from the F2000 thinking, this is awesome. I'll use it when I finish platting everything and then I picked up the AUG. I ripped through enemies left and right. It seemed like I was unstoppable with it. It was just the right fit for me.

[DeadCamper]

I'm sure I'm just exaggerating it in my mind. With almost all ARs platinumed, AUG is the one I've used the least with 100 something kills. I was probably just unfamiliar with it.

But it does say a lot about the game, the guns are just pixels on the screen, but they've managed to pull off the individual feel of them all to the point that they, as you said, fit different people. It's not just about sterile stats like ammo capacity or damage etc. Pretty cool.

[SovereignSpirit]

I know, I have always been impressed with the "feel" of the guns and always hated the M14.

[ananthaval]

While we're on the subject of platting ARs. Any tips on platting the m16. I'm absolutely horeible with it rite. Half the shots i fire seem useless cuz the 3 shot bursts are so inaccurate.

[Reflecks]

uhhhm, i play with all the guns basically the same way. M16 with the 4x scope (or iron sights, i dont like the rds on it) at long range basically just tap the fire button as fast as you can. It doesn't feel like very heavy recoil to me.

Close range, tap away but hipfire.

You can get pretty fast rate of fire with the burst guns.

[DeadCamper]

It's the opposite for me when it comes to the M16.
I've noticed that if you just calm down, try not to stress out, and take your time with the bursts it kills very efficiently. Aim down sights, burst, pause, burst = dead enemy.
The faster I pull the trigger the more spread I seem to get.

[DeadCamper]

Also, I never use 4x on any AR, can't stand it...

[Reflecks]

really? With most guns im the same way. Take it nice and slow. But the m16 has like no recoil so i can pretty much shoot as fast as possible and get away with it.
Doin that on like the an-97, hell no.

Really? I love the 4x. The iron sights on most of them are clean, so the rds feels unnecessary to me, and the 4x makes the long distance headshots easier (just put the hat on him )

[DeadCamper]

I lol'd at "put the hat on him". XD
No but the 4x makes the recoil too evident in my opinion, the thing jumps around and messes up my shots. I feel I can kill easier at long range using irons.

[Reflecks]

yeah the scope does make it more recoil more noticeable than irons, With irons though at long range, i dunno how to describe it without sounding retarded but...

If im far enough i "lose" the guy behind my irons lol. Some of the taller/wider irons cover up the guy and then i dunno if im shooting at his head, above his head or what. lol.

[DeadCamper]

Yup. I'm mostly a close quarters guy, hence the pump shotgun overkill. But recently when I decided to start plating all ARs I stopped rushing as much and decided to try out the RDS for a bit. And it actually helps me get a couple more kills per match.
RDS resolves what you're describing, but at the same time doesn't bring the same defects as I described the 4x having.

Once I'm done plating my ARs I'm going back to irons again though, but the RDS isn't half bad.

[SovereignSpirit]

I can't stand the M16. I can say its the one AR I dislike.

[Reflecks]

You're right in that it helps on both accounts, but id rather not have the middle ground. With practice irons are just as good as rds at close range, meaning i can put a different perk in that slot, and the isn't as good as the 4x for range (for me).

This is only on assault rifles by the way, for lmgs and some smgs ill go with the rds every time. I just don't use sights that much at close range, and i find the 4x the best for long range. rds is a happy medium though.

I like the m16, but its wierd, when i pick it up ill do great with it for a couple days and then all of a sudden it feels like it won't kill for me. So ill switch to the m416, and the same happens so i switch back lol. It just has so little recoil for its rate of fire, i find it hard not to love.

[DeadCamper]

Lol, this is so funny, we're like opposites. I'd never put optics on a SMG or a LMG. :>
I've always been one of those "Lol optics are for scrubs, lrn2ironsight" guys, so using RDS on my ARs now is a strange move for me.

Btw, I hip fire at everything, even at mid range lol...
