Definition of a "Combo" and Other Techniques

Comboing

A combo is an action in which a player accurately switches threw a series of 2-5 selected guns in a selected order. (The order is often just as important as the guns) Many players like to keep their combos secret, but there are the ones everyone knows. A perfected combo should be performed in under 1-2 seconds (depending on the total gun count), and the player should be able to land all the bullets fired from their combo on the enemy, even if they are moving. (Practice ) A single repetition of ones combo should be enough to drain the health of their enemy from maximum, to dead (assuming the enemy is in maximum armour, overkill against weaker targets is better then failure against tougher targets) The combo should be designed to kill by calculating armour absorption and total combo damage. If the combo is done slowly the enemy will have enough time to use a food source, compromising the success of your combo. That's why speed is just as important as damage, so more guns is a bad thing as much as it is good. To many guns often results in the enemy using food before the final shots are landed.

What a basic combo looks like.

Spraying

Spraying is when a player either remains on a single automatic while firing, or has an excessive amount of automatics in their combo. (Or ALL automatics) This is MC-War's most commonly seen tactic. Spraying is very different from comboing, and its easy to identify in combat. It requires no skill what so ever, and is hardly ever fatal to a tough target, so it's often considered "nooby." It can be effective if you are in a team. If 1-2 people spray the target with something like a P90, while the other members perform combos regularly, spraying can prove to be a vital tactic.

I met someone on a WarZ practice server once who claimed their combo was M16 + Famas continuously looped. This is in fact not a real combo because it was not fatal with a single repetition, even at point blank range, even to a half iron. While this actin being continuously looped, and constructed of entirely automatics, it was in fact a perfect example of spraying.

Switching

Switching is when a player switches through an assortment of randomly selected guns with no particular order continuously, hoping to get a good result. It is far from far from real comboing. A combo should be constructed, calculated, and tested. Switching doesn't require any of these. Switching is something new players commonly mistake for comboing. They tend to do this before they've got the hang of performing a real combo. To much of this could become a habit. (Practice and mentoring will help.)

 

What does that mean

???

 

...no

 

That's switching.

 

I never said it used a single gun, and I know that it's supposed to be right after each other. I am well aware that firing with a single weapon isn't combing, and I am well aware that M16 Barret IS a combo. I don't know what you think I've mixed up... Did you read anything I wrote? Are you sure you didn't just misunderstand my dialogue?

 

I didn't say scrolling wasn't comboing, but just saying scrolling through your guns doesn't cover the entire aspect of comboing. I'll define switching and spraying in the same thread so you know what I mean.

 

I'm confused.

 

Can a full D be one shot?

Did you read all the other stuff I wrote?
