best of british

More on battlefield 3 I'm afraid. This time I'm going to take a look over the British guns in the soon to be obsolete battlefield.

So first up is the L85A2. This bullpup rife is available for the assault class and is well worth the effort to get. The L85A2's assignment is a bi+*h to get. The first two parts are a piece of cake, 100 kills with assault rifles and 30 kills with the M320, the last part is the tricky bit. 5 Squad death match wins. If like me you play solo without a headset and don't have a set squad then being dumped with 1-3 random team mates in a game that requires you to work so closely with so few people wasn't my cup of tea. any hoo I got the blasted wins and got the gun. Now I don't know stats and can't be bothered to look them up so all I can say is that it feels right. The fire rate isn't so quick that you burn through a clip in seconds but not so slow that you can't kill anything. It sounds right and due to the slower than normal fire rate and mostly vertical recoil in 3 round bursts this gun is beastly at mid/long ranges. When playing on hardcore I use the suppressor, holo scope and no under barrel attachment.

The second British gun is the L86A2. The L86A2 is a LMG that is SO easy to unlock (20 squad resupplies and 20 kills with LMGs) and is SO good. In my opinion it is the best LMG in the game. Whilst not having the huge magazines of the PKP and the M249 etc. the L86A2 is a LMG for people who don't use LMGs. While that may sound completely contradictory its not. The L86A2 has a tiny amount of bullet spread over long distances and with the PK-A (3.4x), bipod and either extended mag or suppressor depending on the map this gun easily bests the other LMGS.








Now the Final gun the L96. Just to put it out there I think there are better guns out there most notably the JNG-90 and the SV98. That said the L96 is a perfectly good gun. In hardcore a shot to the chest can kill in 1 shot but for normal modes then the increased bullet speed (less bullet drop) of the JNG-90 and the faster bolt cycle of the SV98 means that the L96 is a halfway house that isn't as good as the start and finishing posts.
So that concludes the British segment of my BF3 stuff.
