I don't mind it so much. Sure the Spetsnaz has a better spawn, but some competitive people (unfortunately, normally the people who think the internet is some super****ingserious business) like going SAS intentionally for the challenge. Obviously, the tunnel is almost the equivalent of trench warfare in larger servers. But, if you can get by on the ledges or around the right by the waterfall, you can get some pretty mean flaking done as a SAS. The people that score the best on Creek are almost always those who are moving.FYI, I did mention Creek as a Noob level, because the only purpose of being there is getting raped by some cool sniper kids. I never play this level due to extreme unbalancing. Nor HQ nor Domination can make the level interesting, it can just die in peace and stay on sniper server only. So I really don't mind about the scores that's happening there. You can't go out there and get people killed without having sniping support involved. You move in - you're dead.
I use Bandolier, Stopping Power, and Steady Aim on all my classes with a few exceptions. With my rifle I use Iron Lungs instead of steady aim. It's completely necessary when killing multiple people with a clip or waiting for people to come around corners. My other is with my hardcore class, which Stopping power is replaced with UAV jammer. Desert Eagle for all classes, except I use the M9 with the MP5 of course. Extra ammo.Also, NRG, what weapons/perks etc. do you use?
I used to use the m14 or P90 (they have further sprint) with extreme conditioning for sake of being able to flank really far, really fast, but I've grown to really... really hate both of those guns. So these days I just put up with feeling fat.
Anything lower than 65 or higher than 80 wont work in multiplayer.I think I tried it when I got the game for the first time, and it was cheat protected or something, maybe they added it in a patch later. Or I was doing it wrong.
Speaking of FOV, I keep 65 binded to "1" and 80 binded to "3", next to 2, which is switch weapon. I spend almost all my time at 80 though. With a higher FOV, grass and some other objects wont come in to view until you're closer. At least, compared to the distance with 65 FOV. It's great for finding people in grass and stuff way off in the distance. The problem is the higher FOV is basically the same as having less zoom, so it can still be hard to spot them. This is where the distance sitting from your screen comes in to play.
