have you guys ever tried challenging yourselves in FF arcade? i mean everyone goes, gets the rockets/fuel rod/some other power weapon and the game is over pretty quick. Have you guys ever tried playing a FF arcade game without using power weapons or using weapons you dont normally use? i mean try using the dmr for the whole game or the plasma rifle, or needler, try to avoid using the weapons you use every time and you will definitely increase in skill

I did it when I was going for commendations, now I just challenge myself to get over 200 kills w/ 3 other people playing when I do play FF.

it was just a thought, i mean you have unlimited lives and ammo, and everyone wonders why high ranks suck its because all they know how to do is shoot a rocket at the ground, i mean make challenges with yourself. try using the dmr and to get kills with the least amount of shots, try to only get no scope snipes with the sniper, actually challenge yourself; practice and you will improve, because in matchmaking there isnt always a rocket

If people wanted to make challenges, they have customizable firefight settings aat their fingertips. Firefight matchmaking is about getting kills as fast as possible and getting the most without dying. The easiest way to do that is with the Rocket Launcher of Fuel Rod Gun.

but whats the fun in that, i mean in matchmaking its the easiest thing ever, and the enemies practically throw themselves at you. It's fun for the first couple of games, but after while youre gonna get bored of the same thing and youre gonna want to spice it up--> well use different weapons, use different tactics

What's the fun in trying to AR/Focus Rifle some enemy to death only to have them blown to smitherenes by an ally? You get no points, kills, comendations, medals, credits, or anything not killing as fast as possible in FF Arcade. Killing things creatively for credits can really only be done in 2x Score Attack.

I always have the Sniper Rifle in FF Arcade and because I've used it so much in FF I've actually gotten better with it in Competitive.

Just don't ask me to go into CQC with it.

the fun is using something you normally dont use, and you will get better with it, and if your ally was using the AR aswell it wouldnt be a problem, it would force you to use strategy and actually play smart for once because the AR/DMR arent one hit kill weapons. And actually there's a commendation for every kind of weapon. What are you gonna do when you max splash damage(kill enemies with heavy weapon)? because if you still use heavy weapons you wont get commendation from it because its already maxed out.
