I have an assault with gold rof, and I get out shot by a sniper smg with no rof. How... how is this even possible. I have been getting more and more frustrated at this game and its basically ruining this game for me. This game is not fun anymore since I get cheaped out of kills 99% of the time against people who have endorsements that make you go "What the heck".
Either you missed him and he didn't miss you or you had no armor and he could have. I can kill a Gunner with the SMG if they don't have armor before they know what happened. Just put Accuracy or Armor on your Assault. You can also run backwards and lay a bomb down and blow his skinny *** off the map(That's why I don't chase Assaults).
It sounds like you might be under the impression that endorsements give a bigger boost then they actually do. Endorsements are meant to give you an "edge", not completely set you apart from someone. Its your own skill with the class that will ultimately decide who wins and loses. Think of endorsements as a way of tweaking a class to your preference.
I have silver armor, he had the following set up. Gold Skill recovery, Silver Reload speed and Bronze Juice. Yes I know endorsements are supposed to give an edge but still, this is probably the first time I've been out shot by a smg with no rate of fire endorsement.
SMG already has a decent RoF so its not too hard to believe. And are you checking the feed to see if anyone gets an assist? You might not be noticing taking dmg from another angle if you're preoccupied with dodging their bullets... And of course they could be a hacker.
1.He was juiced 2.You missed and he didn't 3.Lag Happened. The fact that he has silver reload helped him since the smg can't take down anything with armor in 1 clip (unless you run clip size endorsement) Smg is a solid weapon, packs a punch up close. Two big drawbacks though, accuracy and clip size are pretty bad. Something to keep in mind for future smg gunfights.
