well, what i really mean is that: full proto AR/Scrambler vs Mass driver on medium/short ranges mass drivers has more chance to win, many more. First off it force AR/scrambler to hip fire (because if you aim and a mass driver hits you it offset your weapon) and strafing much more (because of blast radius), while MD user can strafe/run much more without having to aim too precisely. It is manageable to beat a basic/advanced MD user, but it's definitely much harder to beat a proto/proficiency MD. Compared to all other guns, it looks OP to me.

the weapon itself isnt op.
but the splash damage to shields is. this should not take 2 shots to kill a fully armed proto.
as i said the weapon itself isnt op i think its great but the splash damage is definetly op. and those who disagree to bad.
its funny how the flaylock wasnt op when majority of the nubz were using it but now that its gone you all jump to the next bandwagon item. lol shame on you but im not mad i actually expected this and knew it would happen. all these scrubs who call themself elite or good players arent shat without FOTM weapons.
these guys are the same ppl who used Tac rifles, OP LAV's, FLAYLOCKS, and now the wonderful mass drivers.
you guys who ***** about it being op all you have to do is adapt or die and to those who use it.. well shame on you for knowing its power and exploiting it.
but all in all its ccp's fault not the player. nuff said.

Assault MD is the OP one. The others are ok. I tried the EXO and it blows vs shields, and you have to actually track your enemy and land the shot. The assault? 8m splash radius with more clip and higher RPM for easy bomb spam fest.

How do you fight? fight from above or at long range the AR shines in those senarios.

I'll vote op; for those who actually wanna read my reasoning here is why.

I'm an armor tanker and I know massholes are supposed to be the bane of my existence but they are a bit too effective if I'm not extremely careful or lucky when I notice one is around. If I don't notice one is around they might as well be a HK4M from chromosome that has just snuck up behind me; I'm utterly boned. I have 500+ Hp on my STD pub suit and 600+ on my advanced and with either it takes 3-4 shots of splash from ADV massholes to annihilate me. Now there are plenty of people better then me I'll be the first to admit that, and we have all accepted that armor tanking is a bit UP at the moment; but with how strong it is massholes are gonna see a huge increase in the next week thanks to the 2X SP and I really don't look forward to that.

Now before you go "You don't use it your opinion is invalid, you just need to HTFU or get good." your somewhat right; I don't use it. However my opinion of of how OP MDs is isn't completely uninformed and comes from Havok Director Gideon; he has been a dedicated masshole since early chromosome or even a little before, he even used the MD at the beginning of uprising and said it wasn't that UP just needed tweaking. He will be the first to tell you that it's OP without a doubt; he even says he uses it more often now so more people will see it, use it as this FOTM, and the nerf will come all the faster so it isn't another godlock situation. Honestly I'm with Gid on this one and want to see the MD work as intended and be effective in the right hands; not be just another AOE ''noobtube', I want DUST free of that old FPS cliche so it can grow into something much more grand.

Not OP

i got proto ARs and MD, and the AR is around 3x better. The duvolle can oUT gun a MD in a straight fight any day of the week, how this is the way it should be, its worse all round than the AR but in group standoffs, and closed spaces it excels.
Exactly the way a gun should operate, it excels at its niche but is useable all round while being much not nearly as effective as the AR all round.
When i meet an enemy MD its extremely easy for me slay him, because i can outgun him, and position myself to make him virtually useless.

The scrubs who are stacking armor, slow as snails w/ bad gun game will say its OP though.

Yloving,ecause getting all the people from a MD channel to protect their crutch proves something, LOL!


EDIT- This might as well be a list of scrubs that require a crutch.
