Go with sniper the second you start, and get pissed off at HOW MUCH IT SUKS like everyone else.

no no, don't need any more of that
Asking for peoples advice on what wep to start with won't help, its all Opinion
Try em all, get a feel for it, then use it
Feel free to Switch often and master a specific bot or so
Mobility is King, Unless you want to die.
Also, mastering movement/Dodging and Skiing is also important, since if u get hit every time the enemy fires, it doesn't matter what weapon you use.

Overdrive explosions and fall damage.  Real men's weapons.

I use cgun and rocket launcher. I use cgun when enemy is flying in the air and rocket launcher when he is on ground. I killed a lot of people using this strategy.

What is the best weapon in legions apart from sniper?

Clusters!

if you know how to use it... its cg...

The Best Weapon is the one you know how to use
Other then that, Admins have the best wep, they can kill on command

Actually ive heard alot od clusters in this post how exactly do you set off a cluster?

Its the Special of Defender - Sentinel
Fire a GL then hold the fire button, when the ret goes yellow, release it, then there, u have fired a cluster
I will not explain any uses or anything other then the question u asked, so if u wanna learn more about it, look elsewhere or send me a message
Jorto can tell u ALOT  about sents and the cluster, so if u really interested look him up

Ohh i dont use sents actually( too slow for my taste) so it doesnt really matter how about special for OutRider?

Most Frustrated With: LZ
Most Annoying: Cg
Most Random: GL/MAs
Most Overestimated: Cluster

Therefore RL will own;Guide:

see enimy, st3nd,shoot, PEW PEW right
in tha face,run.

Sure it´s sniper isn´t it nothing too hard.

I would difenatly start of with the sniper rifle first, it generally improves aiming at the beginning(BUT DON'T OSNIPE) If you don't like the weapon, move on to the gunner class. It's the most-rouded and you can't really go wrong with it.

I am kinda dispointed at how many people are saying the sniper rifle sucks, see me in-game, and i'll show you why it dosn't suck

With the gunner I disagree it´s hard for first times, better if the player takes rockets...the gunner has 3 weapons.

I agree with Mari i prefer rockets because look at my motto: AIm shoot watch them run in a line laugh at thier foolishness and FIRE!
