Mass driver requires more skill to use than a assault rifle. Just saying, don't troll you might fail.

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.

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.

....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.

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



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.



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)



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)




I end this with...You were saying?

Anything in any game that can kill people in one shot should take skill to use. Splash damage is not a problem in itself but it needs steeper falloff, so that at the edge of the splash radius it basically does nothing.

I used to use mass drivers way back in Codex and they were just fine back then. I still don't understand why the clip was increased 2 shots from the original 4 to the current 6.

Mass Driver: A weapon where you can literally miss with ALL your shots, and STILL kill the opponent.

And yet, it's defenders adamantly swear that its not OP.

LOL thats what a mass driver is designed for

they nerfed the rate of fire thats why.

I must be really bad because I am really bad with the MD.

Really bad.

I'll stick with my shotgun and pistol.

GET A JOB!

Your scientific approach lacks validity. One sample is not enough.

Im sorry Xero.

I was doing games like this all day yesterday I just didn't wanna flood 10 different pics if you like I can do it again and post 20 pics?

Well, yes, I should hope you do that. For science!

I ran MD logi on my main in chromosome and recall MD is far more effective when squadmates are there to resupply ammo, drop shields, provide distraction, and cover you while you reload. Also, friendly fire all but nullifies it's utility as a godmode support weapon.

Run lonewolf or post PC pics.

It's a gun that is designed to miss ALL your shots and still be a effective killer? Get real. There's a reason why your corp died.

Mass Drivers is a AOE weapon, designed for area denial.

your argument is invalid, get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich.

Wish to be more like Cubs. A area denial is just another crutch scrubs way of trying to give it purpose. It still rewards you in 1v1 far more than any gun. It's the only gun that teaches it's users that you don't need to shoot the target you just need to keep shooting grenades in the area.
