2-3 shots is too much for a bow and sniper. Most of the time 3 due to armor.  Though sniper can be 1-2 shots to the head.  Once again the piss poor maps alters the sniper to be mostly close-mid range other than 2 maps (snow map and the damn.  Not sure of the names)

pistol and any other weapon takes 4-8 shots depending on armor non-armor.  Ridculous.   Since the game ends up being mostly close to mid-range combat (once again from the horrible map design) just run through the first 2 shots and melee and hope you have more health ( or if you have some op melee weapon). Also making the shotty way to powerful since it is the only reliable weapon in the game.

There is almost no strategy in the game other than sneak and get up close to the enemies.  Good multiplayer games allows for options.  Melee should never be the first option either seeing as bullets>fist.


Thats funny. I always thought 2-3 shots was too little for the bow. When the bow first hits you, it's silent so you have no idea where to run. Then all it takes is one more shot and you're dead (or 2 more if you have armor). 

As for maps that allow sniping. I've managed to be an effective sniper on all the maps (my main weapon). It is true that there aren't many locations where you can aim very far, but the snipers advantage in accuracy and power makes it highly effective even at mid-range (especially with a silenced sniper). And if you are good with it, you can take out an enemy with one shot (2 if they have an helmet) before they even realize you are there. So the sniper is definitely effective.

The shotty is just like in all games. It's deadly at close range, but useless anywhere else. 

The strategy in the game is easy. It's teamwork and flanking. The team that stays together and flanks better wins. With that said, melee actually becomes ineffective because if you try to rush someone, then chances are you will be killed by that person's teammates. As for the other weapons (including the pistols), they are all useful if you get yourself in a good position against your enemy by flanking them, since they would have no where to run while you empty bullets in their side.
