The F2000 takes 3 hits.Skorpy-chan wrote:
I prefer the F2000, due to the higher shot power. The L85 takes 10 rounds to get a kill at 50 meters, the F2000 two. And I can do splash damage.

LOL! you need experiance with guns other than the G36E, after using the 36e you cant use anything else effectively, i went through a phase were i used the 36e, and it was just soooooo boring it was the same thing over and over again- Prone, click click click...kill, heal, prone click click click....kill, heal.Mindzai wrote:
To use the L85 you need luck, plain and simple. With the G36E you don't need luck because it is accurate, so you can get on with improving actual skills like quick reactions and effective movement.Phatso wrote:

my experience with the l85a1 is to be 'sketchy' with it, random shit just happens with that weapon. up close on full burst it just works, single shot for most other stuff. when ur firing at enemys at a medium distance, its sometimes best not to be too accurate, as you may be with a 36e or an m16. i find small bursts and aiming at different points over the targets work best. just try it, it may take a while but you will be pleased once you know you can use it, when my 36e is spent and i have no handy support guy and i pick up someones kit and its the l85, i dont mind too much now.Titch2349 wrote:
I envy all of you who can use it.
I cannot, use, that, gun, for shit. I can't shoot with it. I just can't... whatever i aim at, it doesn't hit it. It hits everything else. But the enemy.
Its an awesome gun, time and time again i get picked off across the map by it, but I CANNOT, USE IT, FOR SHIT. I have tried, time and time again. I have been forced to try by somehow getting revived with an L85A1 in my hands, and been forced to use it (always unsuccessfully), against immediate enemy. I wish i could use, it, but I can't.
however, instead of the L85A1, i hae become accustomed to the G3. Now that is a some serious shit.
I've shot one of those in RL before. L86 = LSW btwSkorpy-chan wrote:
That's what the STATS say, yes. But under battlefield conditions, the F2000 requires only a single short burst, while the L86 takes two or even three.
yes ..... i need to learn some dayDivineMomentofTruth wrote:
Would anybody want a full, well-written guide on how to master the L85 from the guy who pioneered the art of L85 pwnage? It just takes alot of patience to learn but I'm willing to bet that with the right settings everyone can be quite effective with it. Getting the gun to hit consistently has alot to do with:
1.)The length of your bursts and how you fire the gun scoped/unscoped and at different ranges.
2.)Your mouse. A Laser mouse is the best, the more resolution the better.
3.) Your in-game sensitivity settings and your windows mouse sensitivity settings (I'll explain both of these if enough people care for a guide)
4.) Of course your ping and framerate. The lower your ping is the better with this gun. Usually a stable ping ranging anywhere from 20-60 will get you good results. If its near 100 it will still get the job done but you have to compensate for delay and expect those phantom nonregistering hits.
If anyone is interested I can explain all these factors in more detail and potentially change the opinion of anyone who thinks this gun is too inconsistent. I will convince you that its one of the most consistent guns in the game, at least for me.
I meant the L85. I typoed; cold fingers.[E.F.L]Airwolf wrote:

On topic, I think l85 prob wins every time
The thing is that when I play on a full 64 player (lets say Sharqui) server, and i play with an M16, and i beat the lieutenant Gen. who is using a 36E (in kills), it feels %@&*ing good.Mindzai wrote:
Yeah, cos an unreliable gun is what every pro wants! The G36E is a great gun, thats why people use it. Why bother using something inferior? I'd rather play with a gun that rewards quick reaction times by landing shots on target than sit there 20' away from someone, proned and scoped, shooting right at their head with a whole clip without a single shot landing.

the same could be said for the AK and the AK101, both of which i have mastered.Snipingruven wrote:
L85 is awesome, just have to know how to use it and be able to switch it's uses quickly, single shot = no sniper is safe, I HS em all the time, prone or whatever, also great for parachuters! Auto, its Awesome at medium to short range, the farther away, the shorter your bursts, best gun in the game!

Alright, two interested people is enough for me to commit to writing an extensive guide on how to master this gun. All I ask for is a bit of patience since it will be a lengthy post and I have other things going on right now.
