Some of the SMGs are ok, but there's some really, really good short range ARs like the M5 that just shred. LMGs can just spray tons of bullets too.

Most situations and ranges just favor other guns. SMGs can be good if you're defending an indoor point or something.

The PP29 is probably the best one. The PBX is one of those good but not great kind of guns that gets outclassed a tiny bit by everything else. Get outside its effective range (which isn't super far) and the thing just gets you hit markers.

I rarely pick SMGs, just based on how there's too much combat at even medium range.

The M5 is just kind of stupid good right now. You can set it up for the close combat options where the rate of fire goes up and outclass any SMG, then change it to a medium range setup and dominate there too. The M5 has pretty much been the best gun in the game since launch.
I play medic and their proficiency is with SMGs, So trying to stick with that.

On paper the AK-74u seems the best, but Dice in their infinite wisdom made its unlock mission AR based:txbrolleyes:

SMGs are just kind of situational. For some of those indoor points they are fine, but most of the time, you simply need the range.

You may already know, but you can get those unlocks done in bot matches. Just pick a map in breakthrough and set the bots to easy. You can get 100+ kills in a round easy. Just remember to bring ammo.

Most of the vault weapons are kind of bad anyway. They don't have the same attachments and end up with more recoil. Some of them are solid but there's nothing that is a must unlock right away.

Looks good. I've been having fun with 2042. Game is on the right track. Now we just need persistent servers/dedicated servers and we are golden.
Haven't played it much to be honest. I do plan to give it a really good go when season 4 drops.
 
Supposedly the new specialist can counter all the prox sensors and everything else that can spot you. The game's needed that for a long time.

Sadly, it is kind of hard to get too excited for cosmetics, considering that there may only be one more season. Even if there is more support, I am guessing it is going to be less. Realistically, they are going to start moving on to the new game more and more. They've already said this is the last specialist. Hopefully they keep giving us maps, but I wouldn't count on it.

I'm still pumped for the new operator. We've needed someone who can flank and not get picked up by prox sensors for a long time now. This game has too many built in wall hacks and it has slowed down play at times.

New map is more infantry focused. It's pretty fun. It gave me Altai Range vibes from the trailer, but after playing it, it's a lot like BF4's Firestorm 2014 map.

Played a match of Breakthrough and Conquest on the new map. Seemed like standard bs. Then moved to TDM BF of Ages or whatever and actually had fun. Minimal bs and I think we went like 7 wins in a row.

What do you mean by "BS."

Mainly my biggest issue with those game modes like walk 5 miles just to get sniped by someone camping in a window in the corner of the map. Otherwise the pain of playing against PC kids beaming you in a millisecond. TDM at least recently seems to be heavier on the console players, but you always know when you're killed by PC. If there was a casino game on knowing who you were killed by in this game I would be rich.

Also, the more I play BF of Ages the more I realize I how much I enjoy the old school WW2 or Bad Company stuff over the new game lol

2042 is free on Playstation Plus (the old school one, not the new game pass type thing). Will be interesting to see if player numbers increase.
