Great thanks to RussetAure who came up with this chart.
1. If you have a sniper rifle as your primary weapon, it's important to have a spray weapon as well in your backpack/storage area. A pistol won't cut it for you in the professional rooms. (Personally, I'd recommend the G36E, but Tarheel's all for AK-47.)
2. When you're in ACTUAL combat with your foes, you can do two of the most helpful things.
A. You can crouch, (that increases accuracy) and shoot your opponent and hope you'll kill him first.
B. You can bunnyhop from side to side shooting at your opponent for more evasion.
C. Tarheel91 said: "For 2, I'd add on finding cover. If you find yourself in front of an enemy about 20 yards away and there's cover right next to you, don't stand there and fire, get behind it and then attack."
2. When you're sniping, make sure to get cover once you shoot. Don't just stand there like an idiot. As soon as you hit your foe to their low HP with a sniper, memorize their position, retreat, and come back out to take them out.
A. Also, if you're engaged in a sniper battle with someone, and you're getting shot at by someone while you're next to a rock, get cover, and come out the other side of the rock. If you're good enough, it'll buy you enough time to finish off your foe.
3. Sniping with an ACOG scope is extremely helpful with spray weapons such as the AK-47. I've seen Tarheel outsmart me with his AK-47 plenty of times while I had a sniper. I was scoped in, and just as we saw each other, we shot each other. However, my recoil moved the scope, and I couldn't get a precise shot on him, and he killed me.
A. However, if you have an ACOG scope, make sure to shoot, wait half a second, and shoot again. Wait until the scope's recoil retreats back to it's original position, or you'll miss the next/following shot.
4. If you're surrounded by enemies, and you feel as if you're doomed, take out your grenade and start spamming them all over the floor. You'll die, but you're bound to get at least one kill off of doing so.
5. Humiliation points are awesome, so try to knife stationary snipers if you see them. Make sure they don't notice you. Take out your primary/secondary if they do and finish them off.
6. Use grenades as friends. When someone retreats behind a corner, throw a grenade at their general direction. Follow the grenade, (but not too close so you won't get hurt) and use the explosion/smoke to your advantage and shoot them while they're retreating from the explosion. They won't expect you to come as SOON as it explodes, (trust me,) so use that to help your score.
7. Carry flash bangs around with you in CTF. Empty your flash bang clip all into their base, run and get the flag, and get out of there. Just make sure to have some back up with you, in case.
8. Use angles to your advantage. I remember this one time where I pulled off a sick stunt. It was in Cold Seed up top on the catwalk. I was just approaching when I saw 3 people coming towards me. They saw me, and hid behind the boxes. I retreated, threw a grenade at the wall, it bounced off and it went right behind the boxes where they were. I got a multi-kill off of that.
9. If you're in combat with someone and you run out of ammo in your primary weapon, don't be an idiot and reload. -_- Switch to your pistol and begin shooting at him, and if you run out of your pistol ammo, switch to your primary weapon and reload again.
A. I had a lot of people tell me to take out the knife once you run out of pistol ammo, but that's a bad mistake. The person can easily run away from you and shoot you once they're reloading while you're running at them trying to r@p3 them with your knife. DON'T take out the knife as a last resort. Just stick to reloading.
10. If you can, try to voice chat with people you know. Tarheel and I were making a sick combination in "Search and Destroy", because we were devising plans in the heat of combat, and we covered each other's backs very well. We both told each other where the enemy was once we died, and where he was hiding. Trust me, voice chat is a lot more efficient than typing.
11. Use the guerella warfare technique. (Hit and run.) If you have low HP, and you're versing a fresh foe who just spawned, shoot at them to get his attention and run away. Let him notice you go behind a corner. And as he runs toward the spot, pop out and shoot him while he's still running towards you.
tarheel91 said: "12. Camping IS NOT nub. I'm sorry, but just because you don't know how to handle something doesn't make it cheap or nub. Camping is a very, very effective strategy. A real pro can fight back against a camper. Things like flanking, flash nades, and nades in general can effectively handle campers. While a camper's position is typically heavily fortified, it is also known. Thus, the person facing the camper knows the camper's position, but the camper doesn't know his. This is a very big advantage that a pro knows how to use."
13. When you run around a corner, and you know an enemy is behind you, just wait there near the corner and crouch. If you see him pop out, shoot at him. However, he might take another road. He might try to throw a grenade, but this is where he leaves an opening. As soon as you see the grenade, (AS SOON,) cut around the corner again and you should still see him holding a grenade. Take the chance to shoot him while he's still attempting to take out his weapon.
14. When you're fighting an enemy afar with a spray weapon, and you have an attached scope, remember to shoot in bursts. Concentrated bursts leave the reticle small, so you get more accuracy. Don't just hold the mouse button, seeing as it makes the crosshair really big, making it difficult for you to hit your foe.
15. Think a sniper as a far-range weapon, or a deadly shotgun with no reticle. If you're close enough to your opponent, two shots or less can take him down. A trick I use is to point the gun at the foe's general direction, and when I see the red name pop up above their head, (which means your supposed "reticle" is aiming at them) I start shooting. The kind of sniper that's really good for close range is the one that fires really fast. (SR-25, or MSG-90)
Tarheel91 said: "16. In general, another good idea is to never stay in one spot too long unless you're camping. People figure out where you are, and then they gain a major advantage. Eventually you'll get trapped by nades and taken out or flashed and killed. Either that, or someone will just bust out from behind a corner knowing exactly where you are and take you out before you have a chance to fire."
17. If you want to level up fast, and gain lots of GP, play Junk Flea OMA as much as you can and try to win. I played Junk Flea OMA straight for 45 minutes straight and I gained approximately 4% experience and 5000 GP. It is great. But this is assuming you win.
guosim said: "18. If the enemy has your flag and is running, you can automatically see them, as their name tag pops up and you can see them running. If possible, you can prefire into corners for them or shoot them through fences."
19. Quick scoping is extremely useful in close combat. However, if you're going to focus your strategies on quick scoping, it's recommended that you keep your mouse sensitivity high, as you can't move your scope fast. Quick scoping gives you a much better shot on your opponent, and will definitely improve your performance if you practice.
20. If you want to get to places without being heard, or you want to knife someone and don't want to risk them hearing you sneak up behind them, a good idea is to walk or crouch to the destination. Another great idea is to avoid the water splashes by walking on the ledges or corners.
NEW! 21. The L96A1 and the knife both have silent draws. All other weapons make noises when brought out from your backpack. Use that to your advantage.
Weapons
G36E: The gun has excellent accuracy and power. The built in scope zooms in a lot more than the ACOG scope. Many people use this as a spray weapon.
AK-47: Dominating other guns with it's power, it can kill someone really fast in close combat, in exchange for a little bit of accuracy. Remember to always have an ACOG scope attached to this gun.
MP5: Believe it or not, although the MP-5 isn't as strong as the other guns, the reload time and the fire rate makes up for it. Try this gun out sometime to see if you function better with this one.
K2: Change this gun to burst mode, and 2 burst shots to the chest or higher will finish off your opponent immediately. This gun has the highest capacity for professional users. Use this gun if you're confident with your aim.
Mines: Mines are extremely helpful in CTF. Place them at your flag for easy kills on those idiots who won't even look at the bulging black things that scream, "LOL I BLOW UP STUFF'' that are stuck on the ground. They're helpful at Elimination too. Place them at random spots for random kills.
Incinerators: These babies provide good cover and do damage at the same time. Just make sure you don't run into these yourself.
Flash Bangs: Extremely effective at both elimination AND capture the flag. Hurl this hand-grenade at your foes general direction, and pick them off fast before their vision returns to them. Remember that this also blinds your own team-mates too, so be careful with it.
SR-25 Sniper Rifle: Effective, and my personal choice. It takes two shots to kill, but the fire rate makes up for it's lack of power as a sniper rifle. Has excellent accuracy, and good for beginners.
MSG-90 Sniper Rifle: Same as SR-25, except stronger, and a bit slower fire rate. This auto sniper loses it's accuracy by the 3rd fire.
MK-SCAR: A fast shooting weapon, at the expense of power. Good for middle and short distances, but the increase of recoil as time goes on can be your death. Use carefully.
UMP: A very strong sub-machine, although the fire rate isn't like a sub machine gun's, the 45 caliber rounds it uses makes up for it. Very good accuracy for a SMG, and has very strong power. Don't rely on this as your only weapon though, make sure to have a sniper or some other accurate weapon.
USP: One of my most used pistols in the game, but great anyways. This pistol has a fairly fast fire rate, and kills a person within 3-5 hits. It's great, and I've outmatched many people who were using machine guns and assault rifles. If you want to create a sniper build, use this pistol to rely on close combat!
M24: The most accurate gun in the entire game. I absolutely love this sniper. Although it takes 2 hits to kill and it's not semi-automatic, it's still great to hit long distance targets, and it's good for steady aim for headshots. When I equip my sniper build, I always make sure to have this sniper with me.
G23: This pistol is awesome. It's the fastest shooting pistol in the entire game. I love how you spam the entire clip and empty the gun in a matter of seconds. I like this gun as much as the USP, and if you want a pistol that's fire rate is to the extreme, this is your gun.
UZI: The best close combat gun besides the shotguns. This will finish off your opponent faster than the AK-47 if you aim correctly. This gun is cheap and easy to afford, and yet it's a gun not to be messed with. Make sure to equip an extended magazine, as the clip runs out really fast!
AK-103: A fairly decent gun, although not my choice. The recoil on the AK-103 is huge, but the good side is that the power is incredible. It is highly recommended you crouch or walk when firing this weapon unless you're really close to your opponent. Or, you can just put it on burst and bunnyhop and kill your opponents from the other side of the map. Remember to attach an ACOG/red dot sight to this!
L96: The strongest gun in the game. Each piercing shot deals 120 damage. This sniper is extremely strong, and will kill your target in any area except in the feet and the ankles. This gun's accuracy is the downfall, however. Although it is accurate, it is not the best aiming sniper. You won't be able to get people through slits or cracks. This is for fairly medium-long distances.
Ninjato: A very slow ninjer knife, but extremely powerful. This is for measured shots, and shouldn't be spammed. The left click allows for single slashes, while the right click does a fairly fast double slash, but big delay afterwards. Basically, this is not a ninja knife, it's like a ninja hammer. Does the same damage as the default knife, but the reach of this katana like weapon is extraordinary.
NEW! Military Shotgun: This shotgun in my opinion kicks the SPAS-12 and Remington's asses. This shotgun has excellent fire power, so 1-2 shots should take down your opponent as long as their entire body takes up the gap of your crosshair. A worthy secondary weapon choice!
AK-74U: Although the AK-74U can't be used to snipe from long distances like the AK-47, it proves very useful in close combat. The recoil is around the same as the AK-47, so it all depends on your personal preference of which number you like. 47, or 74?
NEW! Famas: The Famas' low recoil makes up for its lack of power. Use the Famas if you are uncomfortable with controlling your recoil with higher powered Assault Rifles. The Famas CAN be used to snipe, as its accuracy is at its max.
NEW! P90: This submachine gun has 50 bullets in one clip, which is a lot but most of the ammo is needed if you want to kill your opponent. Fairly low on recoil and maximum spread is not that big, so it can be used for short-medium distances. The minimum spread on the P90 is like the MP5's.
Spade's Blogging
Hey guys! This is the former iSPADE from the original MMO Tales, and I got a LOT of things to tell you for my Combat Arms life. A lot of things have happened since I began up until this very day, so I'd like an hour of your time just to share them with you. There's a lot of information ahead, so be prepared to read!
7/10/2008
Combat Arms pre-open beta was first released. Since I had missed the first beta opening for Combat Arms, you could very well imagine my excitement when I found out I could actually download the god damned game. Squealing like a little 7 year old girl, I was residing joyfully in my happy place as I clicked the download button for the game client.
Anyways. Once I was done unpacking all the files and everything. I booted up the game. I soon logged into my account, and I was asked to make a user name. Using my user name as always, I typed in "iSPADE", held my breath, and clicked the check button. Taken. Disappointed, I typed in "Spade", less optimistic about this choice. Taken. Taking a deep sigh, I resorted to my 3rd and final username, "mrSpade". Available. Groan.
My first move when I entered the game was to check out the shop. I took a look and found my prized weapon I used for the many other FPS's I played before Combat Arms. The AK-47. I bought it with the 9000 start-out GP I had, and went back to the lobby. About to enter a game, I noticed another button called "Modification" right next to the shop button. Curious, I clicked that as well. Yep, my instinct was right! You could modify your weapons! I quickly attached an ACOG scope to it, ignored the silencer and extended magazine, and ran off to play in my first game.
My first game: Mediocre. I wasn't doing bad, but I wasn't certainly doing the best. I went 12-13, I believe, my first game. I was too stupid to press the "Print Screen" button at that time, but whatever. I was happy with Combat Arms even though I was dying extremely fast. (Unlike these days.) Unfortunately, my brain decided to be retarded and refused to remember anything else after that Junk Flea game.
7/11/2008-8/30/08
I had a problem during pre-open beta. I would always disconnect almost after every game I played. That was before I realized that I had all my settings on high quality and the resolution very high. So, I put it on low quality and made it 800x600. (= godly) And from there on, I could play in peace.
Eventually, I became good friends with tarheel91 and guosim through Combat Arms. We were happy-go-lucky, having fun killing each other or killing others. Eventually, we put together the clan, "MMOTales". The clan was free for anyone to join as long as you were, you guessed it, a member of MMO Tales. There were about 20 members in total. Most members were inactive, (they tried CA once and quit in frustration, couldn't run the game without d/c-ing, or other crap.) but we still remained loyal to the clan.
We had great times together. I remember this one game where it was tarheel and I versing trevtsang, Russet, and SirPainsaLot. Three verses two, if you will. And we annihilated them. The score was 100-39. I remember laughing in the lobby, rubbing it in their faces. Hey guys, don't remember? Check this out.
After leaving those guys to their shameful defeats, tarheel91 had to go, and I decided I would take a breather as well. However, I couldn't stay away from the computer for so long, because the addiction of Combat Arms had me high. I wound up getting back to the game 15 minutes later.
Eventually, tarheel91 and I were discussing problems about the clan. There weren't enough serious+active players on, and since we wanted to do clan wars, but couldn't recruit anyone that wasn't part of MMO Tales, we decided to leave and make a new one. guosim was all for the idea, and disbanded the clan (since he was the leader) and helped with the creation of our newfound clan.
There were minor setbacks and other crap, but it was about a week or two before we could actually make the new clan. It was eventually called "Trigger Happy". We were a decent clan, and we managed to get into the 100's in the rankings before everyone went inactive or quit the clan. We did have fun however, and we recruited some VERY professional players. Our current score is 42 wins 23 losses, I believe.
FINALLY. Around this time I got sick of the name "mrSpade". I was reluctant of making a new character, because of all the hard work I've done to get to the 2nd staff seargant rank. Eventually, tearing my hair out, I decided to make a new character, one by the name of "False". (I eventually came to realize this was the best decision I've ever made on Combat Arms.) I believe guosim made a character called "Valid", but never got around to playing with it.
Starting over from scratch, I had quite the pain leveling my guy again. However, I got a new sense of power in the Recruit channel I have never had before. The recruits in this channel were so easy to overpower I found myself having a blast killing the noobs. I had a Kill Death Ratio of 5.75 before I finally got to the rank "Corporal" My KDR eventually died down to 2.50 when I began to verse more experienced people in the regular channels.
One day tarheel asked me if I had any microphone so I could talk with them while we were clan warring. I asked him why, and he told me it helped a LOT. Communication went by 10x faster, and it was also fun to fool around and bond with your clan mates. Eventually, I implored my father to take me to target, so I could purchase a mic.
This is where hell came in. I bought the mic, and brought it home, happy. I took a quick scan in front of my computer, didn't see any microphone plugholes (I was mistakened!) so I spun the computer around. I took a look, and found the plughole. Jamming the microphone plug in there, I called tarheel91. I spoke into my microphone, but I got no response from him. Eventually, we found out my mic wasn't working.
We spent around an hour trying to get my mic to work. tarheel was being a great friend by helping me out for this long, and eventually, I noticed a microphone plughole on the front of my computer. Telling tarheel that I would do my luck-dance before I tried plugging it into this socket, I prayed before I put it in.
Please work.
VOILA. I spoke into my mic, and he gave me a happy response, "YOU DID IT!". My first question to him was, "Wanna play Combat Arms?" Laughing, we both started up Combat Arms and got into a game together, and started to play.
After playing for a while, I looked at my KDR again. It was around somewhere the lines of 2.30. I got pissed. I mean, this proved I couldn't even kill 3 people before I died once. Therefore I had a new goal that ACTUALLY made me do better, (or just quit the game in frustration) and that was to aim for a 3.00+ Kill Death Ratio.
8/01/2008+
I pretty much can't remember the dates anymore. So I'll leave it as August 1st and later on. Anyways. tarheel pretty much died around this time in Combat Arms. He had a lot of school work and a life. 3 others of our clanmates somehow went inactive, and eventually there weren't enough clan mates to scrim with anymore.
Eventually I ultimately decided to quit the clan. I went solo for a while. I was starting to get fans by this time, and got buddy requests by people named "Falze" and "FaIse". I saw FaIse once, and Falze is still active to this day.
One day I was playing in a Warhead-Search and Destroy room, and I had someone called "SimplyKilled" ask me if I wanted to join their clan, "Trust". Apparently "Trust" was a hacking clan. However, it seemed that they scrimmed a lot so I accepted their invitation. I checked their win loss record. It was nearly -10. 13 wins and 102 losses.
Appalled, I decided to quit. However, they asked me to clan war with them once before I did. I mean, they didn't even use Ventrilo or any form of voice communication for their clan wars! And to the best of my luck, guess which clan we, "Trust", got paired up with?
dateline.
Recognized as one of the best clans out there, I was in horror. We would get annihilated by those guys. And we did. During the game, I asked them if I could join their clan (since I had some good rep as "False") and they said they would give me an answer once the game was finished. I tried my best during the game and managed to kill their leader, "Awake" twice during a 6 round Search and Destroy.
After getting out to the lobby, I asked them once more if I could join. They asked me if I had a mic and vent, (THANK YOU TARHEEL FOR CONVINCING ME TO GET A MIC) and I happily told them I did. They told me I would have to get into the vent server first, and as soon as I did, they told me I was in their clan. I clapped my hands together. I just got into the top 49th ranked clan.
You think that's good? After 2 weeks or so, "dateline" was offered by "Non Sense" to merge together as 1 clan. Dude. We're talking "Non Sense" here. LITERALLY NONSENSE. They were ranked the 7th top ranked clan out of more than 1000 clans out there! Holy ****! Surprised, but very willing, Awake disbanded the clan and we all merged with Non Sense.
It was greater than I expected. At least 3 or more people were willing to clan war whenever I logged on. I found myself clan warring more than I was regular serving! It was great, and I loved my Combat Arms life currently. From nooby Corporal mrSpade in a crappy unknown clan, to 3rd platoon seargant False in Non Sense.
I met many new friends in Non Sense. They were all cool (most of them) and were very nice to me when I was first scrimmed with them. But the number of people in Non Sense was so huge I still haven't met all of the members yet! I still haven't met the leader yet for christ's sake.
Currently, the score for Non Sense is like, 620 wins and 104 losses. I've participated in many clan wars and the time I was here we only lost like, thrice. (And we clan war alot, trust me.)
Anyways, eventually I was told by the members of the clan to sign up for "TGL" on the homepage. I asked them what it was, and they told me that it was an official tournament for world fame as a clan. It was an organized tournament, with actual referees and such. There were strict rules to this competition though. For one, semiauto-snipers were not allowed, and only 1 sniper was allowed per team. (5v5). Supply crates were banned, and any rank achievable items were banned as well. (Flashes, incendiaries, clothing+other stuff). I haven't gotten the chance to participate in an actual TGL match, but I just signed up, so I should be getting my match soon.
August 30, 2008
Omg guys, you'll never guess what. Non Sense defeated Intensify! And I was there to help out the cause! In case you don't know who Intensify is, their clan is a mixture of AzNCr3w (2nd top ranked clan, now disbanded) and eXtasy (1st top ranked clan, now disbanded) members. It was crazy. Krytical himself wasn't there, but we still owned them 6-0 in Search and Destroy. You should've seen their faces, they were crying their asses off.
More good news! I have finally leveled to the "Master Seargant" rank. However, since I have been clan warring a lot these days, my Kill Death Ratio has been dropping significantly. My KDR has went from 3.14 to 3.00 since the time I joined Non Sense. I might actually take a vacation and go play in public games more.
I took the time to organize my buddy list today, and I happened to notice I had more than 100 people in my buddy list. There were people that buddied me because all I did was do well in a game, there were all these members from MMOT, real life friends, friends who I had met on mrSpade, members from my old clans, and etc. I organized all of them into 6 little neat categories. Mission accomplished!
While my clan and I were searching for opponents, I saw this guy with a 261.00 KDR. His headshot percentage rate was almost 97. That is freaking crazy. He asked us if we wanted to have a four verse four. All of their members and ours were ready before we noticed his KDR, and we split it before they could say anything.
9/3/08
Hey guys, I got some bad news. I've got to quit Combat Arms. I've just realized how much of a crowded schedule I'm going to have while I'm in school. I already have 4 homework assignments, and a girl asked me out during my 8th period. wowowowowowowowow. So anyways, I wound up in being four honors classes, (geometry, biology, history, and literature). I ALSO accepted the invitation to get into Spanish 2.
Anyways, high school is okay for my first impression I suppose. It's not too bad, (it's only my first day) and such. But I want to stay on topic here, so yeah. I'll have to quit Combat Arms until next semester, where I can drop these god damned subjects, and manage in some free time. So either I'm going to return next summer vacation, or next semester.
I have 41,000 GP on False, so I should be set when I return, (unlike tarheel, who only had 1 k when he returned, but got lucky by leveling up, getting 4000 gp as a promotion, buying a supply case, and getting a G36E for THIRTY days.) Oh vell. So yeah, this is the end. I told members of Non Sense that I wouldn't be returning for a long time, but they understood and ensured me I would stay in the clan until I came back. (whew.)
THE RETURN OF SPADE: 9/29/2008:
I couldn't resist, I had to play Combat Arms. I started it again shortly after school started, although I vowed not to. OH VELL! So here I am playing Combat Arms, still in Non Sense. I managed to shove in some free time for my game time, so I guess I'll be fine. Anyways, I have some more great news for you guys!
9/28/2008: guosim, (Valid in game) got into Non Sense, the #1 top rated TGL clan in Combat Arms! Now we're in the clan together, and we've been having fun scrimming. He's a great addition to the clan, and he's done well enough to have the other members convinced that he's useful. He will be quitting guppy though. His hardworked 2nd master sergeant is now down the drain. ;-; Now he's a measly corporal.
9/29/2008: I am finally a 3rd master sergeant. And I discovered the best thing to do when you want to level and gain money. JUNK FLEA ONE MAN ARMEH. It's the best! (Assuming you win.) You get lots of experience and GP at the end of the games. I once got 500 GP from one OMA! And I believe I got 1% from 1 OMA too. (That's a lot if you're on my rank.)
I don't have any screen shots today, but I'll make sure to get some for you guys. Anyways, I've been working on a sniper build recently, (only snipers, no machine guns or assault rifles) and it's been going okay. My two primary snipers I like to choose are the L96A1 and the M24A1. One with great accuracy and one with great power.
Non Sense is doing great. Members are still very active, and we have been spreading our divisions to other FPS's! Now "Non Sense" is in America's Army, Crysis, and Warrock. However, Combat Arms is still the most dominate branch for the clan. If you want to join our website and try to apply, go to n3-gaming.com and register. After you've done that, make an application thread with your gaming details, and a bit of how you came to be in Combat Arms.
FG: UMP
Why: It's the most useful for Junk Flea OMA.
9/30/2008: Alright! Black Market is coming out! I'm really excited, because I want to get the new characters and weapons that's going to be available. I currently have about 10 k NX right now, (because I decided to waste it on MS for no reason) but I'm going to go to 7-11 today and by 20 k more. So once my 30,000 NX cash is on my account, I'm going to go on a shopping spree. Here are the items I will most likely buy:
+ Tactical backpack (Allows you to carry 2 more extra weapons)
+ Mei (That chinese/hispanic girl character, and you get 50 k gp too!)
+ Fire gasmask (better nerve gas protection than the regular one)
10/04/2008: We had the biggest f**king clan war ever today. It was an 8v8 scrim between Non Sense and Intensify, (now known as -Last-Intention-.) We won both matches, but it wasn't really a landslide. It was a very close match. The settings were SnD, 6 rounds. We won 3, they won 3. We just had more kills then they did so we won. It was effin awesome.
We also scrimmed a whole lot today, and I did several with guosim. We pwned so much. I think he owes me so much for me getting him into the clan.
10/04/2008 - 1/6/2009: Okay, a lot of crap went on between then and now. There were a lot of difficulties within my old clan, (n3-gaming, Non Sense) so I was "forced" to retire from it. I left the clan, and proceeded to create a new clan with Scott just like the old days called "Primal Tactics". dest and guosim joined and we recruited old friends and great new players.
We had a superb win/loss record in Primal Tactics, (114-12,) but eventually Scott started to become inactive again. One of our more new members, "hukkage", promised more of a leadership and support, so we left the clan to make ANOTHER one, called "Evil Tactics".
Evil Tactics was the same thing, except we had an even BETTER win/loss record. (249-9) We were also gaining respect as one of the best CTF clans in Combat Arms. Time went by, and we recruited lieutenants into our clans, and got ourselves involved with legit organizations to improve our status. We were extremely strict on keeping a clan that was 100% legit, with no hackers involved. We teamviewed our members and we managed to catch 3 hackers with proof. Ask Guppy or Necrophile for the pics.
Well anyways, a big mistake on my part was that I left the clan to join another clan, but little did I realize that the clan fell apart pretty fast after I left. (I guess I'm too pr0, yey.) With all this clan drama going on, our leader, "hukkage", finally disbanded the clan, and Evil Tactics was no more.
I came back, and all of our old members got together and we made a new clan called "Flag Gaming" just recently. We're currently at 3 wins and 0 losses, o yeh.
So basically, here are ALL the clans that I've gotten myself mixed up with: (In chronological order)
MMOtales
Trigger Happy
Trust
dateline
Non Sense
n3-Gaming
Divine Trigger
Primal Tactics
Evil Tactics
TGS BR
Clutch Gaming
eXecuti0n
Flag Gaming
Alright, that's it for now.
Combat Arms: Character Analyzed!
In the cruel, grueling world of Combat Arms, which people would be good enough to survive and be recognized as skillful players by other players in the game? Which people would be deemed as miniature gun gods who are trigger happy? This is the information I have been collecting as I have been playing with these people for over 2 months.
Oh, and as a side announcement, these aren't true facts. These are deductions made by me and me only, based on my view, opinions, and observations. Please don't go, "OMG I R B3TT3R DEN U MENG CUZ U SUK". Don't ask me to change it, unless you can show me the improvement within the flaws listed here that you're complaining about. Just chill and look at these to know your enemy well!

Brief information:
Watch out for SkotchTape! Being a quick thinker, he is able to pull himself out of situations when possible. Averaging in between sniping and spraying, he makes a good teammate if relied on. However, do not depend entirely on him. He needs your back as much as you need his! He is not a mediocre player, do not underestimate him.

Guo's not the greatest thinker, but he is great when it comes to 1 on 1 s. He is definitely an excellent close up person, surpassing many others. (including tarheel!

Brief information:
Dest's extreme close combat skills prove hard to beat. Dest's close combat (arms) is superior to mine, but when it comes to sniping, he's not the greatest. Emptying out his entire MSG-90 clip on me, and missing every shot besides one, I learned that his weakness was in giant maps.
Weapon preference:
Primary weapon: G36E Valkyrie
Secondary weapon: CQBR Shotgun
Melee weapon: Ninjado
BP weapon: L96A1 Arctic Wolf
Strong points:
Extremities in close combat
Knows to keep moving in small maps
Very smart in Junk Flea
Weak points:
Sniping skills can be overpowered most of the time
Big maps/places are his weakness
