Well, I'm a lag machine. Meaning I played PS1 with terrible ping. Back then, the best way to even get a kill was for me to go solo hunting in low pop areas finding where the ESFs were coming in. I had a TR AA MAX for that purpose. It got the majority of my limited kills when the lag was bearable. I'd get hunted down and killed after. Base defense worked also well, if it was a small battle.

Now, I have an INTEL HD 2500 GPU. I have a good connection, but my FPS is between 12-35 depending on how much battling and people are in the area.

I have the basic TR AA MAX with just one Cycler and one Burster. I can easily put 1/2 death on any ESF provided I'm not down below 15 fps. The PS1 had dual Bursters as standard AA loadout.

All I can tell you is that enemy infantry and the smallest vehicles do get annoyed by the Burster attack also, because of the high rate of fire, with the cycler helping out. And I've been forgetting to crouch and not yet using the Lockdown, although in PS1, I'd lockdown about half the time, depending on safety, turning it off and on situationally after each series of salvos.

It's not that bad a set-up. But, PS2 has a lot more variety now. Players seem more active with this variety, so it isn't as easy to scalp at base defenses anymore. But I mostly go for assists and I like to influence things, seeing my role as mostly medium range AA/AI harasser (pain in the neck). If I get a decent video card, I'll be a lot better. But the Burster makes a lot of noise, throws out a lot of shots, has a large clip, and can be fun to use. Vehicles will eat you alive mostly, so you got to keep moving and within range of some cover, unless you are soloing and hoping to get lucky on aircraft, which can work with the same plan as some solo snipers try. It has its moments. Dual Bursters really will get you killed by infantry or vehicles if you meet them solo.
