ESSES GRINGOS ATIRAM MELHOR QUE A POLÍCIA

[@rhysmodica2892]

The spec ops mission of this irritates the hell outta me. They only give you the TAR-21 and a ranger. All the guns out there and I'm stuck with a 5.45 or 5.56 chambered weapon. The FAL is the gun I'd want for it but I gotta survive like 10 bad guys coming straight at me from both sides first when I start. On veteran I could never seem to deal with the dogs. I find I press the E key when it says but they still kill me. Never happens on recruit mode though so I guess they just give you a real small window.

[@quangnguyentrung647]

​@@rhysmodica2892what I usually do first is immediately trade the Ranger for the AA12 with sensor. I mainly use the sensor to spot the enemy ambush. And then trade the Tar for either the FN Fal or the AK with noobtube to bomb the shit out of the corner and tight spot.

[@rhysmodica2892]
