Online Tips

I don't necessarily know how to help you. I would suggest that you experiment with various weapons until you find the one that works for you. As for Pittoo's advice, you can always try it and see if it fits your playing style. As for me, I'm getting averages of about 1300 points per game with a Volcano Arm witha petrification bonus. It is all a matter of opinion. That's why each of the nine different classes exist. I myself am better at using melee weapons in general. You may be better at ranged. And if all else fails, just use solo play to find a weapon that controls well, then take it into online play and see how it works differently. And one last little detail... Configure your abilities to create a combo with the weapon you use. For example, since I play melee a lot, I have to get close to enemies without getting blown to smithereens. To help this, I use a transparency ability which obviously lets me turn invisible and sneak up on enemies. An all-purpose ability that I got fairly early is Auto-Reticle. This withh do some of the aiming for you, freeing your thought process on firing. And whatever you do, don't give up. It is frustrating at first, I know. It took me a while to find my arm that I love so dearly. (Ironically I won it from a multiplayer match) And believe me, I know the feeling of getting your ass handed to you on a silver platter. I just used the above steps and now I'm an online juggernaut. It is all a matter of preference.
