PS2 Question

I skipped beta and have a few questions if anyone has the time.

 

I tend to like to snipe and do close quarter combat.  For some reason I have never been very good at midrange combat in FPS.  What is the best faction to play as with that play style?  It looks like either the NC or the TR would be the ebst fit from the weapon discriptions, but I was hoping to get input from someone who has played the game. 

 

“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

    The factions themselves are pretty similiar to each other. From my experience the best for sniping would be the NC, CQC the TR and mid-range combat the VS.

     

    But note that the difference between them is very little.

    Honestly there is no faction that is truly that standout in what you want. It comes down to a decision. You can take NC who have a high damage bolt action rifle (mind you it wont bolt for you while in scope so you'll have to keep exiting your scope). There is Vanu who have a no drop no recoil sort of sniper with the least amount of damage output. Then there is TR with a mixture of the two in my opinion. It has the firing rate of a Vanu sniper but has a high recoil with medium damage.

    Thanks for the info.  If anyone else has anything to add, please do.
