No seriously though, i use infector primarily atm, as others have said you HAVE to use either infector or shottie in SOME form or another in order to be at all effective at pvp currently.
Infector's do *NOT* take skill. anybody can point in a general area and hold a button down, its about as skillfull as LMG spam or cluster spam in pve.
Sniper rifle? now THAT takes skill, only seen one, maybe two people using them, and they were constantly owned by a shottie scrub (bet they will learn to use a shottie soon!)
same for shotties, running around invisible takes no skill. running up behind somebody while invisible takes no skill. pressing a button while aiming at somebody two feet away takes no skill.
Aiming at somebody's head from 100 yards away and scoring a critical hit? now that takes skill, and should be a one shot kill in pvp..(two shots for body shots imo) same for medium range and AR, lmg to a much lesser extent.
Truly though, id LOVE to see more pvp 'modes' where there's FFA weapons, like it is now, and then restricted, where only 'bullet' based weapons can be used, no clusters, no launchers, no shotties, no bmgs, just pistols/ar's/lmgs/snipers. I'd be willing to bet 100k scrip that one of them would be insanely more popular than the other. wanna guess which?
