This wasn't a troll thread. This is what started my war on crutchinism

Mass driver requires more skill to use than a assault rifle. Just saying, don't troll you might fail.
I was trying to prove a point that ANYBODY can pick pick up the basic MD and do good with it.(Including somebody who only has ONE level into the entire MD tree and has never used a Grenade launcher a day in his life in any shooter dating back since Socom2 on Playstation2) I even just ran around blindly like I do with AR I was running and gunning and was far more effective with the BASIC Mass Driver than I was with the Duvolle Assault Rifle.

I'm sorry, but anyone who talks like this about the Mass Driver just has absolutely no clue what they're talking about. No, splash damage should not be a 'Consolation Prize'. Decent splash damage is the only reason anyone uses this weapon at all. If you were not able to kill people with the splash damage, no one would ever use the Mass Driver, period.
This is EXACTLY my point. The noobs require a crutch. They require a gun that does not take any aim whatsoever to use. A gun where you can just shoot in the general direction of your opponent(s) and not care if you hit the enemy or not because you still do a crazy amount of damage (crazy for NOT landing the shot over 100dmg)

The Mass Driver is not like an AR. You do not point-and-click, and get an instant automatic hit if you're on target. The projectiles have a long travel time and fire at an arc. Because of this, there is no way that anyone ever goes around getting 100% direct hits. Yes, I almost always go for splash damage because that is the only thing that is practical. But even then, at any significant distance, or anything other than the optimal situation for the MD, it is difficult to hit with the splash damage.
So please just stop, all you're doing in continually proving how clueless you are about this situation.
Yes, it was "CLEARLY" difficult to aim and manipulate the splash damage, LOL! Truth be told the BASIC MD was some of the easiest kills I have ever got in this game to date(To be fair I never used a FoTM)

....to a lesser degree, yes. But it still is not a hitscan weapon. And it still fires at an arc
I really wish some of you rampant sh!t talkers about the MD would try it, and please let me know how simple it is to run around getting direct hits 100% of the time.
I end this with...You were saying?
