Give the PROS and CONS of XM8 and TAR21
Comments
-
I find that the XM8 is the closest to a ZP gun that a GP gun can reach. It's fast, keeps recoil pretty low, accurate etc..
It's a non-nooby SL IMO.
As for TAR, the aim sometimes feels abit... off. A pro for the TAR... it's accurate, looks cool, and has a decent zoom like the AUG and AK-S. -
Xm8:
Nice spray, decent dmg, decent rof, looks awesome, decent recoil
Excellent when burst, tho I still get the feeling it lets me down over long distances in terms of power. It could be lag, but i have found myself 5/6 shotting ppl across map before I get ks'ed by a scrubl...
Tar21:
Looks awesome, higher dmg than xm8, zooms in, stable for first 4/5 shots, extremely accurate.
But spray is awful, if you do tend to spray, go with the xm8.

But I didn't try the TAR21 yet...
Give the PROS and CONS of each gun and your personnal choice, plz.
Thanks!
I cant tell you anything about tar since i haven t used it but i can tell you that xm8 s zoom sucks because the point is too big and you cant hit easily someone that is far away . Thats all if it can helps -
Maybe I am wrong, but from the few times i used xm8, it is good, but the recoil strikes me as being weird... It pops up but at an angle and not directly up... but then again I don't own an xm8 so maybe I am indeed wrong.
Anyhow, I still like it overall more than tar.
Tar is a decent rifle, kinda like a sg552 or steyr aug (look at stats in item shop, they are similar), but I absolutely hate its scope. The scope forces the gun in burst mode, but with the recoil, the burst is hard to control where you're shooting, and not very effective at far distance. -
I don't use the TAR anymore, since I just don't really rate it much.
XM8 has great accuracy, decent RoF even when zoomed (the scope comes in very useful), not great power up close in comparison to other similar guns, it's more of a headshot gun, so if you're planning to use it in GM, don't be a spray and pray noob. -

XM8 - It have really few disatvantages. First of all, it's wall damage is full, meaning it's basically a railgun. It's recoil is easily controllable, and there's even an auto HS mechanism while spraying. Basically, this gun is deadly. Now there's something more complicated about it, I can't exactly tell what, but this gun took me a month to get used to it. Assuming that I have a lot of guns, and can decently use anything (exept maybe the M9 and the CQC weapons), it's weird. It's just not like any other gun, and it takes a special feel. But, now I'm happy I have it. Over very long ranges (base 2 base on TD Power Plant for example) you have two choices, or you get used to XM8's weird accuracy (It IS accurate, but... For some reason, it's just different from other guns) or you learn how to use a scope. It's a sight scope (like M4-C's and G36K's) so it won't be allways easy to learn this thing.
Tar 21 - This one gun is my nostalgy. My second gun, and the one with wich I did half the game, is the SG552. Now the Tar feels a LOT like this gun, and people who were specialised in using an SG (Suicydbomber for example. Or me.) appreciate this gun a lot. First of all, it's recoil is kicking in less than the SG, wich is a good point. Second of all, you can actually move while shooting the gun (something you can't do with an SG if you want the bullets to go where you aim them and not the other way 'round) and an easy to handle (zoom in) scope. Now the bad things about the Tar, and the one wich especially kills it in large rooms, is the absolutely crazy spray pattern. First 5 bullets hit where you aim, but after this, it becomes P90-like. Second of all, it's damages seems a little lower than the SG's to me, so IMO it makes a little less defensive gun, but make up in the now available offencive abilities. Besides, it's ROF is pretty much decent.
I'd say XM8 as an overall gun, and Tar as a TD/GM gun.
EDIT: Considering N.M. i really prefer XM8 over Tar tho. Less ROF, saves bullet, better pushback, better spray pattern.. A gun wich makes people happy. -
Thanks a lot guys! Especially EMOxCORE
It is true that the feeling of XM8 is different than all the other guns...
It's hard to say, but it is like if with all other guns, when i hit someone, i know it,
but with XM8 it is more difficult to say if i hit the guy or not...
Do you understand what I mean? -

yeah i get what ur saying, but its hard to describe...
xm8 is still mainly a headshot gun, thats what it is best for... it often fails me alot at long range if i only aim for body
but aside from that, i still prefer xm8 over tar -
I'm not trying to overtake your thread but... Is the XM8 Adv. all that much better? I heard that when scoped the xm8 adv does this weird 3burst shot and most people say that the burst isn't a pro its more of a con? I am planning on getting this gun, I have used it in GM and I like it alot, so should I try to get the Adv. or go with the normal?

I think the only good thing about XM8 is its +5 bullets and its awesome look.
But it makes the scope useless with its 3 shots burst...
Spend GP on GP CRATES of a +5 bullets and better looking gun? Naaaaaahhhhh.... -
No problem mate. I have both of these guns if you want to try and compare them. And yes, XM8 got a strange feeling to it, but after you get how to use it, you'll be a God. I remember loosing 40 - 28 to a guy, than taking XM8 and winning 34 to 19.Kilanomane wrote: »Thanks a lot guys! Especially EMOxCORE

CFchengdu > Exactly, it feels good on HS. Somehow, I learned how to shoot it in the body, but it's still a little weird. I think it's the recoil, it goes like... Sideways some how? But yes, XM8 is really particular, and in my opinion is the gun holding the "Best All Round" trophy.
