RPK or XM8

SGIsundir · December 2010

I need a long term goal

So what should I save my GP up for?
I always tried to save for a XM8 or RPK but in the end spend all my money on crates because I couldn't choose!

Thats why I need other people to tell me what to pick

I like the XM8 cause its great overall and I can still play decent with it when I am a bit frustrated and can't focus on AK. And I like the RPK well I just do (would like a PKM even more, off topic sorry hehe) and I like to play a mutation mode match to 'warm up' before playing my usual TDM and S&D (and to lesser extent Escape and Elimination) ahum anyhow if you had or have neither what would be your choice and what reasons would/do you have?

I think the XM8 is better then the RPK.The XM8 has more Recoil

RPK is the best. You should save for that . Also good with TDM

Disagree for 2 reasons.
Both are great, but if he is an AK user as i am, it is better to get a gun simular to it such as XM8
And also XM8 is great for small bursts at the head, which RPK isn't too good at from my experience, its more of an egypt or ship, spray type gun.

XM8 if you play TDM and SnD more but if you play alot of MM then get the RPK.

I've them both.
I wouldn't go for a RPK, it owns, just a (lil' bit tho) at MM, Escape, TDM (because barely no need to reload). And in SnD if the other team Gang Bangs. But for

The Xm8 its also great too. The 100% wallbang is amazing. Nice RoF, some recoil... and the scope is really fun, but the red dot is huge. Still a lot of fun to snipe with it.

Love them both, but if you have AK use Xm8.

If you S&D more, Xm8. If you TDM more, RPK.

I really dont like the RPK though. AK is all my all-purpose gun.

XM8 will get you more kills faster. The RPK is slow and you only get 2 rounds of ammo.

I would go for the RPK, just because I imagine it to be a more fun gun. I've done the same with the m60, and it's a lot of fun to actually master the gun. You do have to understand that it's harder to use the RPK well. It is heavy, it fires slowly, and it's recoil is terrible. But when you do master it (you can pull of HS's easily on a distance, you can burst well enough, and you learned to be in cover most of the time so that people don't kill you every 10 sec in TD because you are an easy target), you'll find that actual "serious" guns like the AK are very easy to use.

I tried getting the XM8 Advanced with a alt bought 160K GP worth of crates didn't win it, don't like the black market so much anymore anyway all in all with my main and alts spend way to much there with nothing in return (talking about millions here

)

I think I'll go for the XM8 though loved it when I had it temp for a couple of weeks and its true the RPK wouldn't be used much anyway.
