    Nice KD you hacker, where do I download skills like that?

    I love Comets too, it's the best bang for a buck that you can ever get.
    One hand is free and the other one is only 250 certs.

    How did you position yourself to rack up that much with no death ? Were you camping from a far away and safe position ? Were you close ?

    Most of the kills were up close. The key, for me, is to know when to pull back. I run nano-repair so I don't have to constantly have an engie around, but always pull back if health gets below half. Wait for your recharge, then get back into the action. If you disappear for a second most players just figure you died (which is dumb because if you did die they'd get an assist popup). Try to keep engagements one or two-on-one and always be moving. At max you can take out two guys per reload, so you'll want to re-position yourself immediately after firing the forth round to cover the reload. If you do run into a group prioritize medics then heavies if they are all at the same range. A lot of it is just learning the projectile speed so you can hit and track moving targets. I still miss about 40% of my shots.

    You have to be able to read an engagement, know when your guys are making a push and push in front on them (to get all the killz) and when you are getting pushed always have a fallback in mind. Don't be afraid of vehicles, especially Prowlers. Biggest treats are fury's from flashes and harassers, and a heavy with good long range rocket skills (which are pretty rare). Keep your eyes peeled for LA's with C4, got several kills on a couple that were making bombing runs on me. Had to shoot them out of the sky.

    Would you guys actually recommend going comets over the standard anti-infantry weapons for an anti-infantry max? I just started spending certs on my max this weekend so I'm an open book... I already have double bursters and double comets from when they were each on one day sales, was trying to decide if i wanted to spring for anti infantry weapons or not.

    I like the comets, but only at range. I find them unforgiving at close range compared to my blueshifts. But with patience and caution, i can see them work as titanis explained.

    I had a run close to that a few days ago with a nebula and blueshift. I also run nano repair (its maxed out) and ZOE. Though I will run into a room with a bunch of enemies in it. They never seem to expect a max to get in their face while they are shooting out of the doors in windows.

    I just enjoy the versatility that the comets provide. Comets (and I'd bet Vortexes) give you a way to handle all the threats (even air can be scared away with a couple well placed shots), you can take shots at armor, and get up close with infantry.

    Nope, vortexes will take a full mag of both at full charge (i.e. 8 charged shots) to kill infantry, they're a death sentence in CQC against infantry. Comets all that way/
