well that was a bit nasty, i was merely asking you a question...i wasnt insulting you or anything, and no it doesnt obviously mean that your playing on suicidal if your having trouble downing scrakes, you could just be a terrible player or something.
I think his frustration is not directed at you but the repetition in this particular argument.
I think we can probably just stick with discussing 6-man hard difficulty because:
- There isn't much strategy on solo beginner/normal...just put a clip in their head.
- Suicidal 6-man is also a relatively moot argument (if your team is leaving your commando to kill skrake/fp then it will fail)
What I usually see for skrakes (I'm a 6 commando usually on a hard 6man):
use about 1/2 to 3/4 of a SCAR magazine in single-shot on the skrakes head. This should lower his health but not enrage him. Stop and reload, flip to full auto then the next full clip should drop him.
If it does not then he's *really* close so just flip to any other weapon (ak?) and finish it off with head or body shots (as he's in your face by now).
With just a bit of calm you should be able to drop a skrake in 1.5 clips without taking damage.
For FP you're going to need 3 mixed magazines so here's how to do it with the least loss of ear and skin pieces:
1. Start with your AK at the ready and your SCAR fully loaded.
2. Chuck a couple grenades and while the fuses are burning open fire full auto AK to the head.
3. The AK will enrage him about 1/2 through the clip and about the time the grenades go off. Finish unloading the AK into his head but stop before your reload animation kicks in.
4. Switch to the SCAR, zoom, full auto to the head until you are empty.
5. Backpedal during the SCAR reload (he's likely on top of you now).
6. Use the close range to fire from the hip. The 2nd SCAR clip should drop him.
Using this seqence you've put 2 SCAR clips, 1 AK clip, and a pair of grenades into him and have taken one burst of damage in retaliation. Depending on initial range you should be fully healthy or at worst 75% health with 50% armor lost.
