I will list all of the guns and what I think of each one. This is my personal opinion so you may disagree with what I say So son't send me some angry e-mail saying that I'm wrong. As for the stats for each guns this was taken directly from the game. I hope you enjoy the guide and thanks for reading. One last thing before I get onto the guide. If you find any errors or something I missed please E-mail me at ratlips24@aol.com. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------Controls [CON2]-------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ R1- shoot your gun X- open doors, disarm bombs, secure hostages, and order your team circle- reload your gun L1- switch to your secondary weapon Hold L1- weapon selection screen D-pad right- lean right D-pad left- lean left Triangle- Switch between night vision goggles, thermal goggles, and normal vision L3- crouch R3- look threw your sights or scope _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------Tips and Advice [TAA2]---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ 1. Exploit your teammates. Your teammates can die without any bad consequences so when your low on health you need to use your teammates more. 2. The aiming system for rainbow six 3 is really weird. As long as your enemy is in the red circle the bullets will hit him. So don't focus to much on getting the red dot on your enemy unless you are going for a head shot. 3. Usually its better to carry a pistol then a grenade launcher, since a pistol has more ammo and you won't accidental blow up your teammates. It is also faster to change to your pistol than to reload your rifle. 4. Reload whenever you have an opportunity because it really sucks when your getting shot at and there is no bullets in your gun. 5. Whenever your unsure if someone is in a room either peak around the corner and shoot them or send one of your teammates in the room to check it out. 6. Your teammates are stupid. Never listen to your teammates because a lot of time they will say "Sector clear" and then someone will pop out from behind a crate and shoot you. So always check the room yourself just to be sure. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------Guide [WKH3]------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ There are a couple of things I would like to say before I start the actual Guide. 1. Like I said in the introduction (that probally no one read) a lot of this is just my personal opinion. You could play threw the entire game with any of the guns in the game its just that some guns are more effective then others. 2. I will abbreviate names all through out the guide. Sometimes I will put the abbreviation in () then but sometimes I won't so here is a list of some Abbreviations I use. -LMG, light machine gun -SmG, sub machine gun -AR, Assault rifle -Shotty, Shotgun (Note: this is not all of the abbreviations I use just the ones I can think of right now.) 3. Since you cannot regain health in this game and whenever you get close to enemies you loose a lot of health I rate the guns a little bit different then you may in other games. Here are some basic guide line I use when rating a gun. Things that lower the guns score. -low range (since you can't regain health close range combat is dangerous. -High rate of fire (Since you run out of health fast, guns that shoot fast will make you have to reload more) -Only having a zoom of 1.5x (this is more of my personal preference. Some like this zoom but I don't) -having low stats (whats considered low differs with different kinds of guns. like whats considered low for a pistol isn't the same as what is considered low for a SMG). -Being a sniper rifle (its just that simple, sniper rifles to not belong in this game and are absolutely useless). Things that increase a guns score. -having a zoom of 2.0x (this is my favorite level of zoom) -having high stats for that type of gun. -long range (the farther away you are the safer you are) -Large ammount of bullets in each magazine (the more bullets the less you need to relaod). -having a scope (This is not always true. Some weapons can use a scope really well and stay steady while others are jumpy and useless). _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Weapons [WPS2]----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Well you can't fight terrorism without guns and lucky for you there are plenty of them. In this section I will list all of the guns in the game and give you my opinions on each one. (NOTE: All of this is my personal opinion of each gun so you may have a different opinion on the gun). This game does a pretty good job of making the guns ballanced but some guns are still more usefull then others and in the end it all depends on your playing style and the mission. Here is the basic format that I will use to show each gun. Name: The name of the gun and the calibar of the bullets. Range: How far away the enemies need to be for the gun to hit them. Accuracy: How accurate the gun is. Ammo: How many bullets are in a magazine. Capacity: how many bullets the gun holds per clip. Supressed: whether or not the gun has a silencer or not. Zoom: How much you will zoom in while looking threw the sights/scoop. Description: Different features of the gun and situations its useful in. Pros: Good things about the gun. Cons: bad things about the gun Rating: the score I give it out of five. (NOTE: 1 is the lowest, 5 is the best) _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------Primary Weapons [PWS3]----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Primary weapons include shotguns, sub machine gun, light machine guns, sniper rifles, and last but not least assault rifle. Your primary weapon is the gun you will be using thoughout the entire mission. Since you cannot change your primary weapon during the mission it is important to take in all of the factors before choosing. Such as knowing if the mission is going to be held indoors or outside, or how big are the rooms in the building. Because you really would not want to bring a sniper rifle to a mission where you will always be with in a 5 foot radius of someone. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------Sub Machine Guns [PWS3]---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ What is larger then a pistol, smaller then a rifle, full automatic, and has a rate of fire greater then a assault rifle? You guessed it, the sub machine gun (SMG). Like I just said SMGS are compact weapons weapons that have the firing rate of some rifles but are only slightly larger then most pistols. The firing rate and small size do come at a price. Since sub machine guns use small bullets (such as 9mm) there damage and range are quit low compared to other guns. They are still very good at clearing small rooms full of enemies faster then a reqular rifle could (NOTE: note SMGS are still outclassed at close range compared to shotguns). All in all Smgs are very good guns you should give a try. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: UMP (.45CAL) Range: 10\100 +++++---------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 43\100 +++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------------| Damage: 26\100 ++++++++++----------------------------------------| Ammo: 25 Supressed: Yes Zoom: 2x Description: The UMP is a very unique SMG, do to the fact that it uses rather large .45 Call bullets. Despite the fact that it has a silencer it still has the highest damage of all the smgs and the third highest accuracy of SMGs. I you have to use a supressed SMG you should definitely use the ump since it still packs a big punch. Pros: High damage even while silenced, Very high Accuracy and damage compared to other SMGs, it has believe to be the best zoom for any gun. Cons: Like all Smgs it has low range, 5 bullets less per magazine (not to big a deal. Rating: 4.5/5 +++++++++-| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: TMP (9mm) Range: 7\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 46\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------| Damage: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Ammo: 30 Supressed: Yes Zoom: 1.5x Description: The TMP is One of the worst guns in the game. I has almost no range or damage. It does have high accuracy. But then agian accuracy really doesn't mean anything if you have to be at point blank range for it to be effective. In a game where you die in 15 bullets and you can't regain health it is really to risky to have to charge at an enemy to kill them. Pros: high accuracy. Cons: Low range combined with low damage is a death wish, have to either put alot of bullets into an enemy at medium range or get close to them and risk getting shot. Rating: 2/5 ++++------| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: MP5SD5 (9mm) Range: 7\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 46\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------| Damage: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Ammo: 30 Supressed: Yes Zoom: 3.5 Description: The MP5SD5 is almost exactly the same as the TMP. There only 2 differences between the TMP and this gun. They are the fact that the MP5SD5 has a scope and has slightily higher accuracy. The MP5SD5 does get a slightly higher score do to the fact ot can be use at a slightly higher range do to the scope attached to it. Pros: Scope and high accuracy. Cons: Low range and accuracy will get you killed a lot and its basicly a clone of the TMP. Rating: 2.5\5 +++++-----| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: MP5A4 (9mm) Range: 11\100 ++++++--------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 44\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------| Damage: 21\100 +++++++++++---------------------------------------| Ammo:30 Supressed: No Zoom: 3.5 Description: The MP5A4 is the unsuppressed version of the MP5SD5. Apparently when they took of the silencer they actually made a really good gun. Despite losing 3 Accurracy the guns range slightly increased and the damage almost tripled. This gun is the best SMG for medium range attacks (Since this gun is the only SMG with a scope except for the MP5SD5) and like other SMGs it is also pretty good at close range assaults. All in all this gun is a really good all around gun that balances Range, ammo, and damage. Pros: When you rip off the silencer this gun becomes a unigue gun, Only SMG that can effectively use the scope, Second highest SMG damage. Cons: high rate of fire tends to empty the magazine pretty quickly. Rating: 4\5 ++++++++--| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: P90 (5.7) Range: 14\100 +++++++-------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 39\100 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------| Damage: 17\100 +++++++++-----------------------------------------| Ammo: 50 Supressed: No Zoom: 2.0 Description: This is Arguably the best SMG in the game (if not first at least the top 3). The P90 has the highest range of all of the SMGS, medium Damage, and High Accuracy. But what makes the P90 really special is the fact that it uses small 5.7mm rounds allowing the gun to have 50 bullets. Yes you read correctly 50. So this gun lets hit enemies from farther away letting you take less risks and if you do find your self in close quarters fight you can take confort in knowing you have 20 more bullets use. This gun is also my personal favorite since it lets you spray bullets through a room and actually hit somthing. Pros: Extremely large magazine, My favorite level of zoom since it doesn't zoom to far in, highest range of all of the SMGS, Medium Damage and accuracy, Cons: Even though it has the highest range of all of the SMGs its range is low compared to ARs and LMGS. Rating: 5/5 ++++++++++| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: MAC 11/9 (9mm) Range: 7\100 +++-----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 27\100 +++++++++++++-------------------------------------| Damage: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Ammo: 32 Supressed: Yes Zoom: 1.5 Description the MAC 11 is probally the worst gun in the entire game. I mean It has terrible Accuracy, range, and damage. On top of that it has a ridiculously high rate fire meaning it runs out of ammo really fast. Do to all of its poor stats you have to be within 5 feet of your target in order to hit them. Pros: There is absolutely nothing good I can say about this gun. Cons: Low range, low Accuracy, Low damage, super high rate of fire, Extremely close range weapon. Rating: 1\5 +---------| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY In this little section I will talk about which SMGS that I have found most usefull. 1. P90: the P90 is good for people like me who like to spray a lot. Since it has 50 bullets you don't have to worry about waiting for the perfect shot. 2. UMP: the Ump is more for people who can pick there shots well and not spray bullets everywhere. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------Light Machine Guns [LMG5]----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Light machine guns (LMGS) are basically assault rifles with very large magazines. The stats are only slightly less than a rifle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: M60E4 (7.62mm) Range: 49\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------| Accuracy: 47\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------| Damage: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Ammo: 100 Supressed: no Zoom: 1.5 Description: The M60 is a very impressive gun in the fact that it can get a one shot kill no matter where you hit. That combined with average Range and Accuracy makes this a very reliable gun. Pros: 1 shot kills, 100 bullet magazine, average Range and accuracy. Cons: zoom is low. Rating: 4.5\5 +++++++++-| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: M249 (5.56mm) Range: 39\100 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------| Accuracy: 52\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------| Damage: 55\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------| Ammo: 200 Supressed: no Zoom: 3.5 Description: Despite the fact that the M249 has lower stats than the M60 the performance of both guns is very similar. The M249 makes up for the lower damge with a higher rate of fire and accuracy. Normally I would say that a high rate of fire is bad but since the M249 has 200 bullets Its good thing. Pros: Scope for long range, Lots of ammo, very accurate while looking through the scope. Cons: Bad hip fire accuracy. Rating: 4.5\5 +++++++++-| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary I don't feel comfortable saying one gun is better than the other. Stat wise the M60 is better. But I have used both guns and the performance of them is pretty much the same. Even though M60 has more damage then the M249 the M249 has a scope for long range. Its all about personal preference. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Shotguns [STS6]--------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Shotguns are some of my favorite guns. Unfortunately in Rainbow six 3 shotguns are outclassed by Assault rifles and its very dangerous getting close to enemy soldiers. So you really shouldn't either one of these guns. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: USAS-12 (12G) Range: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 1\100 +-------------------------------------------------| Damage: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Ammo: 20 Supressed: No Zoom: 1.5x Description: This gun can tear apart a tango in a couple of seconds. Even though the game tells you that it has low range you can still hit an enemy from a good 20 feet away. Even though its automatic it has almost no recoil. Since its automatic its easy to get carried away and burn a lot of ammo really quickly. Pros: At close range it will instantly kill, Quick reload, better range and accuracy then the game tells you. Cons: easy to get carried away and waist ammo, At long range it take a lot of ammo to kill, Although powerfull its just more practical to bring a assault rifle that good at all ranges than a gun that only good at close and medium. Rating: 3\5 ++++++----| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: M1 (12G) Range: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 1\100 +-------------------------------------------------| Damage: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Ammo: 6 Supreesed: No Zoom: 1.5 Description: I honestly have no idea why this gun was put in the game. Its range, accuracy, and damage is the same as the USAS but there is 2 major differences. 1. The M1 can only hold 6 bullets and each bullet must be put in one at a time making the reload very slow. 2. the M1 has a much slower rate of fire. Pros: Instant kill at close range. Cons: totally outclassed compared to the USAS 12, slow reload speed, small magazine. Rating: 2\5 +++++-----| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In the end the USAS-12 is superior in every way. The Usas has faster reload, is automatic and looks cooler. In the end I would rather you use a assault rifle then either one of these guns but if you have to choose, use the USAS-12. Seriously I can't stress this enough grab a SMG or a AR but don't take a Shotgun into battle it will just give you a really hard time unless you are really experienced in this game. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Sniper Rifles [SRS7]---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Sniper rifles are completely useless in this game. Even though the game tells you that they have 100 accuracy, this only aplies while looking threw the scope. When firing from the hip the accuracy is more like 10 then 100. On top of having horrible hip fire accuracy they have small magazines of only 10 and since 85% of the game is fought indoors there is really no point for a super long range weapon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PSG-1 (7.62mm) Range: 49\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------| Accuracy: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Damage: 75\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------| Suppressed: No Zoom: 10x Description: The in game description tells you that this gun is "the most accurate sniper rifle availible" but like I said in the intro this only applies when looking threw the scope. The hip fire accuracy is terrible like all of the sniper rifles forcing you to either try your luck for a hip fire or use your scope and risk being hit by somone you didn't see because you had tunnel vision. Whatever you do, do not use this gun. Pros: Pin point accuracy. Cons: (Note: this list is going to be pretty big) Zoom 10x is really overkill and there aren't that many areas where this is usefull, Horrible hip fire accuracy, A Assault rifle with a scope can do just as much as a sniper rifle, It just sucks ok. Score: 1.5\5 +++-------| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AW Covert (7.62mm) Range: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Damage: 20\100 ++++++++++----------------------------------------| Supressed: Yes Zoom: 10x Description: I would like to personally shoot who ever decided to put this gun in the game. I mean your average pistol performs better then this gun. It has less range then a pistol and a damage of a SMG but can only shoot 1 shot every 2 seconds. Meaning it takes 5 shots to kill somone even if evey shot hits there chest. Because of this you are forced to get a head shot and if you miss it gives your enemy lots of time to shoot you before you can shoot again. And of course it has all of the problems that other sniper rifles have (small magazines, bad hip fire Etc.) pros: Pin point accuracy Cons: This is going to be another big one. Low range, Zoom 10x is really over kill, very low damge, Extremely low rate of fire, the silencer on the gun does absolutely nothing if you have to shoot the enemy 5 times to kill them, Very small magazine, Horrible hip fire accuracy, Probally the worst gun in the entire game. Score: .1\5 +---------| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M82A1 (.50CAL) Range: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Accuracy: 82\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------| Damage: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Supressed: No Zoom: 10x Description: This is the best sniper rifle in the game. Able to deliver 1 shot kills no matter where you hit them from far away. The Gun still hits its mark every time even though the game tells you that it has 82 accuracy. Don't get me wrong, Sniper rifles still suck and you should almost never use this gun. I'm just saying if you really want a challenge you should use this gun. I have been able to beat 3 missions using only the M82A1, but this was in co-op and my brother distracted the tangos for me making the mission much easier. Pros: 1 shot kills, Pin point accuracy, best sniper rifle in the game, decent hip fire do to the guns higher rate of fire. Cons: I'm really to lazy to list eveything. Just look at the other list on the PSG-1. Just get rid of the "horrible hip fire accuracy" part. Rating: 2\5 ++++------| _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary Sniper rifles have no place in this game. Since most of the game is fought in close quarters combat a purely long range weapon is just not needed. Because of this I would recomend that you never use a sniper rifle unless you want a challenge. If you really want to use a sniper rifle because you want a challenge then you should use the M82A1 since its a guaranteed one shot kill and has excellent range and accuracy. In the end the sniper rifle is totally out classed by Assault rifles. I mean the M16 has a scope and can kill a tango at the same range and just as quickly as a sniper rifle can but can also be used at close range. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------Assault Rifles [ARS8]------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Assault rifles are the best all around weapons in the game. There stats are all pretty average and if you are new to the game you should use a assault rifle. They pretty much all have a zoom of 2.0 or higher and can kill in 2 shots. One more thing I should say before continuing is that 6 of the assault rifles and are pretty much exactly the same (except for a few minor differences in there stats). For the first 6 weapons I'm going to simpily copy and paste the description, pros, cons, and rating Since there so similair. (Note: there may be some minor differences in there pros\cons\description. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAMAS G2 (5.56mm) Range: 39\100 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------| Accuracy: 60\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------| Damage: 56\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------| Supressed: No Zoom: 2x Description: This is going to be the description I will use for the first 6 assault rilfes of the game (For a explanation on why read the section below the title). This gun has average range, accuracy, and damage. Its able to achieve 2 shot kills and has very good zoom. If you ever have trouble deciding on a gun consider this one. Pros: Average range, Average damage, average accuracy, good zoom. Cons: Nothing special at all and has 5 other guns exaclty like it.

This gun has average range, accuracy, and damage. Its able to achieve 2 shot kills and has very good zoom. If you ever have trouble deciding on a gun consider this one. (Note: this gun has slightly lower range then the other 6 guns). Pros: Average range, Average damage, average accuracy, good zoom. Cons: Nothing special at all and has 5 other guns exaclty like it.

Pros: Average range, Average damage, average accuracy. Cons: Nothing special at all and has 5 other guns exaclty like it. Rating: 4.5\5 +++++++++-| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AK-47 (7.62MM) Range: 37\100 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------------------| Accuracy: 45\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------| Damage: 70\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------| Supressed: No Zoom: 1.5x Description: The AK-47 is a force to be reckoned with. With 70 damage it can kill enemy in two shots. Even though the game tells you it has lower range and accuracy it still performs very closely to the other assault rifles. (Note: im not sure if this is just me or the actual game but whenever I use the gun even at close range when the red circle is over the enemy it still won't hit them till I empty the magazine.) Pros: High damage. Cons: slightly lower Accuracy and damage then the other guns, bad zoom, this gun always fails me for some reason. Rating: 3\5 ++++++----| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G3A3 (7.62MM) Range: 49\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------| Accuracy: 65\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------| Damage: 87 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------| Supressed: No Zoom: 3.5x Description: The G3A3 is a cross between a sniper rifle and a assault rilfe. It gets the damage, accuracy, and zoom of a sniper rifle combined with the rate of fire and large magazine of a assault rifle. While looking threw the scope you can get pin point accuracy and kill a tango in about 1 second. The only problem is the crosshairs are almost as small as the crosshairs on a sniper rifle while firing from the hip. Still this gun is very good at medium and long range. Pros: has the best stats of sniper rifles and assault rifles (Damage, accuracy, rate of fire, large magazine), great for medium and long range. Cons: horrible hip fire accuracy. Rating: 4\5 ++++++++--| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Galil Arm (5.56MM) Range: 39\100 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------| Accuracy: 71\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------| Damage: 60\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------| Supressed: No Zoom:1.5 Description: Like the game description tells you this is a recreation of the Ak-47. The only noticible difference is the damage. But while it loses out on damage it gets a magazine with 70 more bullets in it. I personally believe this gun should be in the machine gun section but the game classifies it as a assault rifle. This gun isn't to reliable at long range so a lot times you will finding yourself spraying a lot. Pros: Extremely large magazine, good accuracy at close range, one of my most favorite assault rifle. Cons: Unreliable at long to medium range, bad zoom, really bad accuracy if you start to spray. Rating: 4\5 ++++++++--| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M16A2 (5.56MM) Range: 39\100 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------| Accuracy: 74\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------| Damage: 66\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------| Supressed: No Zoom: 3.5 Description: The M16A2 is the best all around assault rifle in the game. With a range of 74 it has pin point accuracy while looking threw the scope and a decent hip fire accuracy. Though I personally don't like this gun since it has a unnecessary high zoom it is still a very good gun. Pros: Good combination between a sniper rifle and a assault rifle, good accuracy, good damage. Cons: nothing to say here. Rating: 4.5\5 +++++++++-| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In the end most of the assault rifles are clones with a different coat of paint on each one. All of these guns are good and you should use any one of these especially if you are new to the game or having trouble on a level. The only truly unique ones are the Galil Arm and the AK-47. The Ak-47 is unreliable and the Galil Arm is only good at short range so you should probaly avoid both. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------Secondary Weapons [SWS9]---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Secondary weapons (also called your sidearm) are accurate short range weapons with small magazines of less then 15 bullets (with the exception of the SR-2). Since they have small magazines these are not weapons you should use for the entire mission. Instead You should only use this weapons when you run out of ammo and you don't have time to reload your gun. Overall there isn't much difference between the first 3 pistols (The only unique ones are the Deagle and the SR-2). _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------Handguns [HAS1]------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Hand guns are probally going to be your main sidearm you will be using threw out the game. The hand guns will be divided into 3 sections. Pistols: have 9-10 bullets, good accuracy but low damage. This section includes the USP, MK23, and the 92FS. Magnums: Extremely high damage capable of killing in 2 shots and have medium accuracy but at the cost of only having 7 bullets. There is only one magnum in the game is the Desert eagle (abbreviated as the Deagle). Machine Pistols: have 16-20 bullets. Only one of the 2 machine pistols are automatic. they both have low range and damage but the accuracy is pretty high. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USP (40.CAL) Range: 10\100 +++++---------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 32\100 ++++++++++++++++----------------------------------| Damage: 20\100 ++++++++++----------------------------------------| Suppressed: No Zoom: 1.5x Description: The USP is one of the 3 pistols that are basically clones of each other with only slight differences in stats that aren't really that noticeable. The USP has the highest damage and range of the pistols but also has the lowest accuracy of the 3. Again like I said before the stats are not that noticeable and the only thing that effects the pistols are the size of the magazine. Pros: Highest Range and Damage of the pistols, medium ammo. Cons: Lowest range of the pistols, other 2 pistols are almost exactly the same, only pull this out if you run out of ammo in your primary weapon. Rating: 3.5\5 +++++++---| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mk23 (.45CACL) Range: 8\10 ++++----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 42\100 +++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------------| Damage: 19\100 ++++++++++----------------------------------------| Suppressed: Yes Zoom: 1.5x Description: The MK23 is the most balanced pistol in the game. It only has one less point in damage and range and also has the best accuracy of all of the pistols (This is the best pistol but not the best secondary weapon). Even though I have said many times that the silencer is absolutley useless I would like to note that if you for some wierd reason like silencers you should use this gun since it is stil keeps its power even while supressed. pros: Best pistol in the game, highest accuracy of all of the secondary weapons, keeps all of its power even while supressed. Cons: Even though this gun is the best it still only slightly better then the other 2 pistols. Rating: 4\5 ++++++++--| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 92FS (9MM) Range: 7\100 +++-----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 42\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------| Damage: 12\100 ++++++--------------------------------------------| Supressed: Yes Zoom: 1.5x Description: Is the 92FS is the worst pistol in the game (only by a little bit). The only noticible difference between this gun and the USP or the Mk23 is that this gun may take you one more bullet to kill but it makes up for this by having a 15 bullet magazine. Overall this is a solid weapon but is simply weaker compared to the other guns and there is no point in using it. Pros: Average stats for a pistol, largest magazines of the pistols and the magnums. Cons: Worst pistol in the game, lowest range and damage, outclasses by the other pistols. Rating: 3\5 ++++++----| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Desert Eagle (7.62MM) Range: 10\100 +++++---------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 36\100 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------------------| Damage: 70\100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------| Supressed: No Zoom: 1.5x Description: The Deagle is basiclly a barret 50 cal that fits in your pocket. Even though its a pistol it is fairly accurate and kill an enemy in 1 shot. But all good things must have a drawback. The Deagle is amazing but it has a high rate of fire and with only 7 bullets you will be finding yourself reloading a whole lot if your not carefull. Pros: High damage, doesn't lose much damage or accuracy with the high damage. Cons: high rate of fire, Low ammo Rating: 5\5 ++++++++++| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAC 11\9 (9MM) Range: 7\100 +++-----------------------------------------------| Accuracy: 27\100 ++++++++++++++------------------------------------| Damage: 8\100 ++++----------------------------------------------| Supressed: No Zoom: 1.5x Description: I would really like to know what the creaters of the game where thinking when they made this gun. I mean just look at the size of the stat bars you can cleary see this thing has no range or damage. When the MAC 11 was a primary weapon at least it was a half deacent gun but now as a secondary weapon it has 10 less bullets and runs out of ammo even faster. Do to the horrible range and damage you will have to be within 3 feet of an enemy to kill them (this was on easy difficulty). Pros: THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS GUN Cons: Low range and damage, Low ammo, Fast rate of fire. Rating: .000001\10 ----------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SR2 (9MM) Range: 12\100 ++++++--------------------------------------------| Accuracy 35\100 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------------------| Damage: 20\100 ++++++++++----------------------------------------| supressed: No Zoom: 2x Description: This is arguably the best sidearm in the game. Despite the fact it is not a machine pistol like the game tells you it still has excellent accuracy and damge. On top of that it 2x times zoom for getting quick headshots on unexpecting tangos. Lastly it has a very large clip of 20 bullets for you people who like to spray. Pros: Good Accuracy and Damage, Large clip, Good zoom, over all best sidearm in the gmae.
Cons: While firng frim the hip the range isn't to good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary So now you want to know what sidearm to use right? (I know about 75% of you said no to this question) Well most of the sidearms are well balanced and for the most part they are all pretty much the same. But there are 2 guns that really stand out. This guns are the SR2 and the DEAGLE. The SR2 has excellent stats, a good zoom, and a large magazine. While the DEAGLE has less bullets it can still deliver a one shot kill and is still farely accurate for a gun of its power. So basicly use the DEAGLE is you can precise with your shots and use the SR2 if you just want to go crazy and spray. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------Grenade Launcher [LAS2]---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ If I could talk to the creators of this game, one question I would ask them is WHAT THE HECK WHERE YOU THINKING PUTTING A SINGLE SHOT GRENADE LAUNCHER IN A GAME WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SAVE HOSTAGES. Unlock other games the nade launcher is not attacthed to your gun. In adition to that the grenade launcher only has 4 shots in it. But like I said during the beggining of the paragraph the grenade launcher is very dangerous to use. Since most of the game is indoors there is a major risk of hitting one of your teammates or killing a hostage. Luckily there is ammo that is isn't lethal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M203 (grenades) Range: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Accuracy: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Damage: Varies depending on the ammo being used. Explosive ammo: 100\100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| non lethal ammo: 0\100 --------------------------------------------------| Supressed: No Zoom: not sure Capacity: 1 Description: For a description look below the title. For this section I will talk about the different ammo you can use in the launcher. 40MM HE: these are high explosive rounds that will instantly explode when they hit an enemy, the ground, or a wall. Frankly all of the ammo for the launcher sucks. It is pretty much always better just to throw it becuse you can at least bounce it around corners. Rating: 1.5\5 40MM CS: This is basically tear gas. Any enemy that walks into the cloud the grenade makes will stop shooting and start grasping there own face. Again even as a thrown grenade these thinks are worthless. I mean would you rather throw a grenade that disables anyone in the mist and then have to shoot them or throw a grenade that kills anyone you steps into the mist. Rating: .5\5 40MM RP: when this grenade explodes all enemnys in the area will be set on fire and die. This is probally the best genade in the game since it has a good blast radius and sets people on fire. Rating: 3\5 40MM SMOKE: As a thrown grenade smoke nades are pretty good. But in a launcher they really suck. I mean why would you throw a grenade at your enemys so you have trouble seeing them. Rating: .5\5 Overall Rating for the grenade launcher 1\5 +---------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary All of the grenades for the launcher sucks. Instead of using this cheap version of a noob tune use a real gun like the SR2 or the DEAGLE. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Explosives and Gear [EAG3]----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ After you have selected your primary weapon and sidearm you get to choose your Grenades and other gear. In this section I will simpily talk about the gear and give it a rating since there are no stats for grenades and explosives. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------Grenades [GAS4]---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Grenades are small hand held explosives that you throw. Some of the grenades are lethal an will ussualy instantly kill but others will ussually just stun an enemy. All in all grenades to do not play a major roll in this game and you can go threw the entire game without throwing one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tear gas Grenade Description: the tear gas grenade emits a small mist of gas that will make anyone who breathes the gas (even you) start touching there own face. even though this seems nice it is pretty worthless since the blast radius is low so a lot of the time one guy won't get hit and continue to shoot at you. Rating: .5\5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smoke Grenade Description: These non lethal grenades are awesome. When thrown they will emit a large cloud of smoke for about 20 seconds that niehter you or your enemies can see threw. So if you know there is a bunch of tangos on the other side of the door simpily throw a smoke grenade at your feet turn on your IR gogles and open the door. And then watch as how the enemies can't see you and how you shoot them down. Rating: 5\5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M34 WP Grenade Description: High blast radius and instantly kills enough said. Rating: 5\5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRAG Grenade Description: This is the same as the M34 grenade except with a slightly lower blast rasius and doesn't set anyone on fire. Rating: 4.5\5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash Grenade Description: when these grenades exploid all enemies in the room that are looking in that direction will be temporarly blinded, Or at least this is what they are supposed to do. What I mean by this is these darn things DON't work. 9 out 10 times I will throw this into a room run in only to find one out of 3 guys are actually stunned. Rating: 2\5 (the only reason it gets a 2 is because it somtimes works) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary Like I said before grenades aren't to important in this game. But 2 you should pretty much always bring along are the SMOKE grenades and either the M34 or the Frag grenades. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------Explosives [EPS5]---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ For this section I am going to simpily give a short one sentance long description for each item. But in Summary for this section I give all of the explosives .5 because most of them don't do there job and are useless in this game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claymore Mine Description: Unlike in real life you need to activate these mines yourself and since tangos will really never come to you these things are completely useless. Rating: .5\5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breaching Charge Description: These things can only be placed on doors. When the charge is activated the door is blown open and anyone neer the door will be killed. Unfortunately there are only 2 places in the entire game where tangos will close enough to the door for this to be usefull. Rating: .5\5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary After giving both explosives a .5 you can probally tell that you shouldn't use either one of these items. (NOTE: in just about every mission one of your teammates will have Breaching charges so there is no reason for you to carry them around). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------My Other Guides [GOD4]------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_____________________________________________________________________________/ Well folks that just about raps everything up.
