Until recently I always used assault rifles and carbines on full-auto or burst mode and thought I was doing okay.  But then someone put me on to using single shot - apparently it's more accurate - and I started getting more kills and now my accuracy is creeping up from below 19%.  However, there's the trade-off for CQB.

What mode does everyone prefer?

When I'm going for long range shots sometimes I will switch over. But if you are careful with your index finger you can fire one shot at a time with auto mode anyway.

i just keep them in full auto because i go in 1 shot burst any way and incase someone tries to get the jump on me i can kill them quick

full-auto / burst

If u want to increase accuracy, play as sniper.

Right now I am working on assault and I am seeing the beauty in single shot mode.  Single shot especially helps when using the G3.

I prefer semi automatic. It helps with accuracy, and in CQB, its not hard to survive. Just point at the chest (or above) and squeeze off shots as fast as you can. Semi-Automatic FTW.

I like burst mode.  But if the gun doesn't have burst, I switch to semi-auto for accuracy over long shots.

It really depends on situation and weapon. I would prefer auto because i could single but single if the gun has burst except for close combat.

Depends on the map and the situation really. I'm not going to go around Karkand with semi-auto on. I'm not going to run around Operation Clean Sweep or Kubra Dam with full auto on. If I'm in a densely-covered area, I will switch to full auto. In a larger, spread out area, I will go on semi-auto.

If my weapon has a 3-shot burst, I will ALWAYS leave it on, unless I'm trying to poke a sniper in the eye, or shoot something from 100m+.

Wow... how about you use both? Get used to pressing your 3 key a bit. Keep the gun on full just in case someone/something pops up. If your at a medium range stay auto/burst but try to keep your clicking under control. For long shots switch to semi. I dont know if its just me, but some of the rifles (esp the ARs) seem to behave differently from semi to auto. Anyways thats how I do it and I'd say my accuracy is pretty good...

your not meant to keep it on one setting.  it all depends on the situation.  running around the hotel on karkand (INSTEAD OF HELPING YOUR TEAM) then you need to keep it on full auto.  also going upt the TV station on Sharqi then go full auto/burst). 

but if you need to pick people off in longer ranges (moving from allyway to the servailence post on sharqi) then switch to single shot.  i personally keep it in burst or full auto until the situation calls for me to switch to single shot

I keep it on auto but most of the time find myself in single shot because most of the time I'm at a med distance.
