What armor you use varies with the situation you're in. If you're trying to flush out a sniper's nest, you take light so you can pack a M-79; if you're assaulting a position and need just one small edge, maybe take the heavier armors and pack a weapon that sprays a lot, like a SMG. They nerfed the heavier armors (one of my biggest complaints) so that they're not worth as much in the tradeoffs from lighter armor; only a 10% difference in each one, and the armor HP differences are for shit too.

i always loved medium, light was too little, and heavy i only used on like iwo. but sniper or rusher id always use medium, its just so average

usually always pick full medium or helm arms dep on the gun I want to use. If you're new, go heavy arms and helmet with an ar and bandaids.

Basic tip: ALWAYS take a helmet; that 5x means that almost all (I think all, but I lost my damage table a long time ago) bullets will kill you if even one hits your head.

I'm pretty sure it's all, yeah. I can't think of one that doesn't.

I usually switch between armour depening if I want grens/clays. But usually I will go with medium.

Yes, medium usually allows you to take a helmet, bandages, an extra or two, and whatever weapon you're looking at, provided it's not the M-82 or a MG (I forgot the exact credit costs of those). If you need extra explosives or two weapons, then you take light armor.

Regardless of armour id ditch the G36, but thats not very helpful. I only take heavy for maps like iwo or if im sure im not gona be very mobile. Normaly medium for me. Though if im a sniper ill take light to allow me a decent back up weapon.

Medium (full), G3 (or FA-MAS), bandage, clay. All you need to get through the day :)

Don't need backup, if I'm out of ammo, I'm dead

thats true, i only did this when i would train sniping, it helped me alot, cause i knew i had to make every shot count, cause if i were to run out, i would most likely die. that and i did it when i was rushing all the time, only cause i had my knife to help me :p but when i was ok at sniping and actually wanted to play, id always go ssg or svd, medium armor, helmet and a pistol

I'v started to snipe now, and it's fun like hell.

but no backup, because I suck with pistols and knife

full medium always seemed best. but the key is to have a helmet plain and simple

My 2 favs were Medium, M16, 1911, Helmet, bandage, Legs, Grenades, Marks 1 and Heavy, helmet, M79, bandage, 1911, marks 1.

Why not go arty with the 16? Cause I'm picky.

I also heard rumors said if you have some credit left you walk alittle faster true?
I just use G36 beacuse its not nub cause the following arent much skill but plain single weapon power
Fa-Mas--Espically
AK-47--- Easy control Heavy power
M4a1---Even Better Accuracy and good power
G3A3---Alittle anti Fa-MAs commonly called

No, you don't run faster if you have fewer credits. You may have extra stamina, but you don't go faster.

He's right except I used the M4 and no leg armor but same idea. Alway. always, always have a helmet. If I see a guy without a helmet I immediately think "FREE KILL".Good Luck.
