Multiplayer Adversarial Tactics

 This section will provide a few basic Rogue Spear tactics and how to use NATO 3 with those tactics.
Multiplayer adversarial in Rogue Spear is totally different than single or coop. multiplayer. You are fighting against intelligent, heavily armored, well armed, highly motivated, human beings ... with low pings! 

 

Silence is useless - Don't bother with SP or SD weapons unless you like the sounds they make. They are not going to help you much in this mode. One exception is that a SP weapon will improve your recoil a bit, at a cost of weight and overall length. Stick with the noisy weapons, after all, all the players KNOW you are there anyway.

 

Armor Piercing rounds are your friend - If they enemy is armored, and they will be unless your server is set for light armor only, you will want lots of power. AP rounds were put into NATO 3 primarily for multiplayer adversarial mode. AP rounds will improve the penetration of the weapon over FMJ rounds quite a bit, but, they tend to wound more than incapacitate/kill. They will help SMG's immensely. You will need a hit with a few rounds, but you will be injuring instead of tickling them. Even 9mm SMG's can be effective and since they are light and small you can really do some effective assaulting.

 

Zoom = Accuracy - If you want to place accurate shots at medium ranges (over 100m) take a weapon with a good zoom. The way that the mouse works in Rogue Spear, and other 3D games, is such that if you have a poor zoom you simply cannot place the aiming reticle where you might want to. And don't forget to crouch.

 

Don't overkill - The Barrett is fun, but it's not necessary to use it against people. I wouldn't bother with anything bigger than a 7.62x51mm NATO sniper rifle or assault rifle.

 

Tappy tap tap it in - Using a high-powered weapon? (7.62x51mm NATO or more) Use single fire and carefully tap your shots onto the target. Don't even bother using full-auto mode the second round will be off target and it will take even longer for you reticle to center. Even when using full-auto on lower power weapons it's a good practice to tap shorts bursts with the weapon. Avoid the spray-and-pray technique. It doesn't work for BrownFoot.
