seriously you fkn dipshits. Admit the MD can be a problem in it's current state while being SPAMMED by protos in unison in PC ( organized battle).

Stop trying to act like it can be done with everything, it is not the case. If it were, you would see a lot more variety in PC.

btw.. lvl 3 prof MD user

It can be done with anything.

sure, but as effective?

if so, why do most of the holders wanting to guarantee clone sales income go with bombarding with MD instead of a scrambler pistol?

If you can tell me why 75% of an entire team in a PC match religiously uses this to secure a battle over any other tactic when all other tactics perform just as well , without saying it is better or more effective.. you win

Hit detection in pc is wonky, while aim assist has been removed entirely. Once aim assist returns and they continue work on hit detection, AR will be absolute king again. Mass drivers were vastly more powerful last build with up to 9 meter explosion radius and more damage than the current standard mass driver. They weren't used like this because ARs were just better, people had aim assist and they would tear the md users apart if they were exposed on the roof or shooting down.

With aim assist off, even the much nerfed and weaker mass drivers of today have become popular in pc because they can almost guarantee damage, not much damage, but some.

A group of tac snipers or forge gunners can remove them from their position and let you get the hack. Vehicles are also good counters. A set of logi-lavs can out pace their damage with remote repair.

I mean my AR just NEVER hits a damn thing even with all the QQ about them. and aim assits.. aim assist.. wtf, I thought all these pc pros were all like who needs aim assist get gun game types.. must have been wrong. Sorry, but this answer does not win.

I was asking him why when the match starts and ends in most pc matches where the team wants to keep their clone sales they field 3/4 of team with MD in key places that they can effectively spam and control area.. when he says everything can be just as effective. I am not bitching about mass drivers in general , hell i'm not really bitching bout them.. I don't even PC normally. I have no problems with them when encountering in pub matches, because you just don't get that level of organization. They are becoming a problem though when you see the effects they have when piled up together.. it gets ugly. What they really need to do though is just work on explosions, it needs a big overhaul on how the dmg works at different ranges from center of blast. Getting rid of camera shake would be good to.
