    Hey Guys,
    Tuggers03 Here,


    I have been playing McWar and been on the forums for 1 week now so I have decided to do a first week impressions thread. :smile:
    The reason I am posting this in the McWar discussion is because this is mainly focused around McWar.

    1 Word to sum up what I think about my first week: Awesome

    McWar
    I have reached level 10 and I am almost at level 11. McWar has been extremely enjoyable and fun to play. The variety of guns, maps, gamemodes is what makes this stand out for me. Everyone is very friendly and helpful in game. Occasionally I do get annoyed by spawn campers (who doesn't?) but I don't really mind that much.

    When I started this a week ago I was quite literally, rubbish. I could barely get any kills and I never went above a 3ks. I was mainly using Automatics and just rushing into the battle and hoping for the best. This wasn't working sadly, so I asked for suggestions on the forums and I was introduced to snipers. I was really bad at sniping. I think the low fire rate didn't help. Someone suggested I use the Dragunov. (Awesome gun) I am now getting a better KDR as well as higher kill streaks. (Though I have yet to get an EMP and Nuke)
    Leveling up can be a bit of a pain though. I am trying to get the AA12. (Used it once in Gun Game. Didn't even know automatic shotguns existed)
    My favourite gamemodes are probably Infect or TDM.
    I will also be donating soon. (Minigun, Crossbow, Grenades, Flashbangs and the Scav perk) I was having a hard time deciding on the guns/equip I was am going to get but everyone gave their opinions and helped me decide.


    The Forums
    So, after about a few hours of playing McWar I decided to check out the forums. I made my first post an intro back on Saturaday. (5th/4/14) I received a very nice welcome and everyone was really friendly.
    The second thread I made was a suggestion. It received many replies and a lot of opinions. I have been posting frequently ever since. (Near 80 posts at the time of writing this) I usually focus more on the McWar side of the forums but I do take part in forum games and post things in off topic.
    The community on the forums is very friendly. Everyone is polite, and welcoming.
    Another thing I am glad to see is that there are good, active moderators who do their job properly, both in game and on the forums.


    Verdict:

    + Well made game
    + Fun to play
    + Friendly, helpful community members
    + Active moderators that do their job


    - Gameplay can get a little repetitive
    - Erm....I think that's it.

    So, those are my first week impressions on McWar and its forum community. Feedback is welcome!
    Thanks for reading and have a great day!

    My Impressions on MC-War
    (I've been playing for a while im level 59)

    Pros:
    Amazing because it has guns
    Nice features
    Good maps
    Good gamemodes (for the most part)
    Overall fun.

    Meh:
    Community in-game

    Cons:
    Idk if its my internet, it probably isn't because on other servers I don't lag at all. MC-War is super laggy.
    Anti-Spawncamping isn't really doing much
    Usually very 1 sided (if you know what i mean)
    Higher leveled player almost always have the advantage; beginners rarely even stand a chance in a 1v1 firefight to win against a high level player. I guess this is intended, but it would be nice if it was more balanced.

    yeah.

    That was nice to read. It's good to see that newer members enjoy the War :stuck_out_tongue:
    A few tips for you-
    • The AA12 is bad, don't get it. It does little damage, and if you get a kill with it, you will have wasted half your ammo.
    • If you stay back (like team support) and aim for the head, I would highly recommend the L118a. It does 9 hearts of damage, and kills in one hit with a headshot. However, don't camp too much, and don't jump around in the open too much either.
    • If you can, donate for scavenger. It is the most useful donor item of all. For every kill, you will receive a supply of ammo. (1/4 of your starting ammo back for every kill)
    • Skip the Barrett, get the MSR. The Barrett used to be extremely good, but it's pretty bad now. The MSR has a tiny clip, but it has a high firerate, and you have your pistol anyways.
    • Don't get the Magnum, stay with the M9. The Magnum is identical to the M9, except you need to reload more, since it only has a 6 round clip.

    Great! Thanks for the tips. So, the L118a is better than the Dragunov?

    It has been getting increasingly harder for newer players get a hang of the servers. When I joined, I was smart and started on Server 10, when there weren't even prestige players back then. Nowadays, there are always powerful players on all servers.
    I can tell you never used the aa12 with no recoil v:

    It really depends on how you play.
    On large maps, I tend to use bolt action sniper rifles (L118a, Barrett, Isolator), and semi automatic sniper rifles (Dragunov, MSR, Disassembler) on smaller maps.
    The L118a has the high damage (9 hearts) and a pistol shot will easily finish the opponent off, if you didn't headshot him. In addition, it has 64 shots, more than most sniper rifles. However, its slow firerate and small clip will really hurt.
    The Dragunov does only 5.5 hearts of damage, but it has that higher firerate. However, it has that small clip, and this sniper rifle only has 32 shots.
    As said above, it depends on how you play.
    I agree with that first statement.
    I used it in gungame, it was still bad :v
    But the minigun with no recoil...

    Unless you want to buy every gun, that's a pretty nice accomplishment for a new player.

    @Tuggers03, if you need any help with sniping, you can PM me (in my signature). I am not THAT experienced with automatics, but most of what Brawler said is accurate. I would do what he told you to do.

    Have fun! :grinning:

    Some of the players that are more into-the-game tend to help me and play as a team. More or less everyone is friendly, though you get the odd dude saying "Red are a bunch of haxors" (Imagne that is in caps) but apart from those incidents everyone is very nice.
