ok your in a duel, death match, ctf, ect. and you spotted your opponent do you press the next weapon button when you need a weapon quickly or do you use the select weapon button then use the right analog to select a weapon... i just needed yo know because i use next weapon and i wanted to know if the weapon select is easier/more useful or is it something you got to get used to.. well thanks humans ^.^ ------------- life is a hard game to beat -_-..

I hate that weapon wheel thing. I just like to press a button to bring up the next weapon. ------------- It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. |

Well,i have my R3 set to Rocket Launcher, i keep good tabs on what weapons i have! if have my shock rifle out which i usually do, it just click R3 for up close combat, if i have link gun out and want avril, i click R3,R2, thats the fastest way to get where i need to go, i dont pick up weapons i dont need, i.e. stinger, if im defending a node and have time, i epmty my enforcer! you need a good memory tho if you use weapons the way i do!

Most people seem to use the 'next weapon' etc functions, I use the wheel.

yeah i heard alot of people use the next weapon button, i never use it, would be annoying if i want a weapon thats at the end of the cycle or a few r2 button presses away and im in a rush, i just use the wheel, much easier for me, but its really a matter of preferance ------------- |

since i use a mouse i change using my mouse scroll which would be next weapon somewhat if ppl have played fps games on pc they would know how the mouse scroll works ...scroll up for next weapon down for the previous yes its difficult to get used to at first ...for first times it'll take a while t get to ur desired weapons but when u know what weapons u have and there order its pretty easy -------------

I thought you had to die to switch weapons, I think I'm doing something wrong. ------------- |

| eh not many ppl know this but u can switch the position of when u want to get ur weapon.. u can have ur rocket as ur first priority and then flak the second.. the thing about pressin the priority button is this.. say u have rockets as the priority.. and u run out.. it will automatically go to the flak (if its ur 2nd).. instead of pressin the next weapon button 15 times or havin the huge weapon see through box pop up and u have to select it manually, u can merely press the priority and hit next weapon once to get to ur shock or sniper rifle.. def a big help when ur on the run |

it is annoying which is why your brain memorizes the order of weapons quickly and you can click 3 times for flack or 5 for sniper etc etc....thats how I roll at least ------------- House Music All Night Long "Insted of peaple coming on this website were peaple are b**ing about peaple behind each uthers backs" - QuickRC |
