    Few weeks ago, I killed the man who was suppressing me. Yep.

    Don't know how, but on Pipeline he was above my position, firing on me with PKP. Suppressed, I just pressed the trigger, one 3-round burst and... killed him. Since this day, I've join his team ^^



    Nobody cares, I know ! But don't be angry about that, that's the game, and nothing is more brilliant than killing the target when your friend is suppressing him, believe me
    And don't forget there are many ways to escape this situation : smokes, another cover, help, or leaving the position and crouching



    Oh ! And, btw, can anyone tell me if when non-lmg gun is firing at you (AK, ACR, ...), are you suppressed too?

    Many times, I am. But just for few seconds. And I'm not sure if it is an AK or a LMG. Thanks !

    The reason you can't pop up to shoot whilst suppressed and whilst you have problems in the open is to simulate the standard survival instinct. An LMG will tear holes in people and any one with more survival instinct than a depressed lemming will do everything to take cover. This is a game but no one is ever going to fire back during suppressive fire, which is why in practically every campaign when this happens you flank. Play as part of a team, throw smoke and spread out, the rifleman is as good as dead.

    Only LMG's suppress. You may have had a few LMG rounds fired at you at the same time.

    I've found that sometimes if you've just been knocked off your feet by an explosion getting fired on by an Assault Rifle will cause the edges of the screen to bleed to white as if you were being suppressed. Can somebody please elaborate on this?

    I mean sure dont quote me on it, but be it hard to peek your head up over cover to take a look or make a shot... I am pretty sure it wouldnt interfere with you taking a shot.
    Is it only me or does any one else think thats over the top ?
    No, it is spot on.
    Otherwise all you would do is line up your crosshairs, poke out, free headshot, then pop back in.
    All the while the LMG user is stuck going slowly (if mobile) or cant get back in cover quick enough (bi-pod or laying down).

    Learn to use patience, eventually an LMG user has to reload.


    Just to let you know I am an LMG user (LSAT for ghosts and equivalent for Bodark), maximum control with incendiary ftw.

    It will not let you fire or aim up, even when ur behind cover it renders you screwed cause your bouncing round like a freekin pin ball ?
    I will bestow onto you pretty much a tip that completely neutralizes LMG users and makes suppression basically useless:

    Use the barrel roll/pro roll against LMG users. When shooting from prone while being suppressed, your shot is very accurate and you can easily take out a LMG user faster than he can you because his gun is less accurate than your gun when you are prone. Sometimes you can't plan the pro roll and you start getting suppressed out in the open totally unprepared, just drop prone and fire away and you will win the gun battle the vast majority of the time. I have pretty much conditioned the pro roll to be an instant reaction in my play, I don't have to think about it or "set it up," I just do it.

    When you get suppressed in cover, immediately back away crouched from the piece of cover, pro roll out of cover, and start shooting at the LMGer.

    That's a high risk move and the sort of thing i'd go for because it's satisfying when you pull it off. You can also pop up between bursts and take him out.

    The pro roll isn't really that high risk in my opinion. I've gotten really good at it and I'd say it's less risky than just normally moving around a corner. The second an enemy is shooting at me that I don't expect, I'm pressing circle (whether to pro roll or just drop prone) as fast as I can; the prone button is by far your biggest life saver. Also, perhaps the only way to actually not die when getting shot in the back is to turn the camera as fast as possible and pro roll, most of the time you don't have time to execute it to return fire but it is pretty much your only shot at surviving when there is not any cover around.

    I kill more players than kill me when they roll on me, but your shot is very accurate when prone. Maybe 50/50 when up against a half decent player

    You do know if you throw down smoke, it MIGHT cancel suppression?
