User blog comment:Zealot Guy/How to be an Assault/@comment-1990578-20110411050639

I was thinking of writing an assault guide since I played it alot and was working on platting all of the AR's but I never got around to either... Damn college and new games taking up my time...

Anyways, I actually think of the Assault as more of the "Hold the line!" kind of guy. Works well in CQ. With this class, theres no point to use the ammo bandolier since you have ammo boxes. The grenade vest still poses useful, however, since 40mm's take longer to replenish, as do frags. I find that the lightweight pack can be extremely useful for this class though, and I tend to put it on when I don't want a 4x scope.

As for the secondary spec, ceramic armor or marksman training are usually my choices. I'll admit early on I used magnum ammo with the bullet spamming lazor, but that lasted only for a month after the games release until the spec was used by literally everyone and their POS American 100-round auto-snipers and Russian two-shots.
