Im just curious cause the MD itself has less DPS then a AR or HMG. The main factor i believe is that the weapon actually works and avoids the spongy hit detection that regular weapons have. Just question yourself how many times you died cause some 1 was strafing or bunny hopping and no bullet would register on him. Thats where the MD comes in and neglects the strafing and bunny hopping from the so called "proto pub stompers". Im quite sure that most complainers are either bunny hopping or strafing in gunfights.

It is but its not, it should be doing 10% more damage to shields and 15% less damage to armor, there are some weird bugs with how splash damage is registered and there is no damage difference from the center of the explosion and the edge.

It's actually the opposite, its more affective against armor than shields

Not what I meant, the gun does 70/135, it is supposed to do 80/120. Thus 10% more to shields and 15% less to armor.

I think some of the protos, and long standing "middle ground" players are getting butt-sore about the fact that some people are actually getting good with the mass driver. Imagine that, a gun that's not an AR getting kills? Some things are slightly OP, ( forge guns), but its not always there power that renders them too effective, ie range, velocity. The MD is a really good gun, but can be outmatched easily dependant on the situation, as it should be, learn to adapt people, evolve, do something other than what's not working for you.

Ahhh, then I retract my first statement then, though it should be that way though
