One HS alt-fire = nothing left. Or 2 M32 shots . And if I'm using commando, it is not very possible I get 10 clots close enough.
At least commando have a choice to choose the M32. And even if commandos only use SCAR + AK, it is powerful enough for CC. At the same time dont need to fear about runing out of ammo while having hp bars to help.
Support? It's out of the question. Because its THE all-round perk. It's power starts at medium range. Anything get into medium range is instan-killed or seriously hurt.
Not necessarily true, since i happen to agree with the other Jack
The spread on shotguns is very random, and i'm often left with lucky tosspots are a 10-20m shot from a HS.
Firebug doesn't often get 10 clots close enough, and when he does, they last half as long as when they sneak up on a Commando
IMO, only Commando weapons are the most viable for Commando. Shotguns and GLs are popular due to reload speed, but i don't see why reduced damage and nil penetration is appealing. It makes it less effective per shot.
Firebugs don't need to fear running out of ammo either
That's Support's domain.
Support does kill quite well, but it's only good in close range. The spread on shotguns is laughably large, and often the shot doesn't connect with the intended target, and when it does not enough hits it to cause damage. Only close range has enough accuracy to land shots reliably and with enough potential fatalities. Medium and long range are completely out of the question for Support; as well as super-close range.
Firebug is still the king of medium range. Long range now accessible to him thanks to the M10, and anything within firenade range is incinerated. Medium range tapfiring the Flamethrower means anything within the FT's max range is toast. M10 means everything without it is burnt up as well.
I'm convinced that Firebug is the master CC perk with the facts i've compiled; anyone who knows the tricks of Firebug would be as well.
