This is the definition of FoTM. This is what gamers do. The constant quest for the easiest to use, most effective weapon available. Whether it's the LR, the HMG, the Flaylock, or the MD. All they do is try to satisfy the urge for the majority to feel better about their gaming.


This is why after 4 months, I'm giving up the MD (fearing the future nerf) and now going with Dual Scrambler pistols. After trying the scout suit, I've moved back to my Adv Gal assault suit to improve my TTL while working on my gun game. The breach softens em up, the KiLO (I think that's what it is) to put em down. Just got my first headshot kill in a 1v1, which turned into a grenade kill on his buddy who came to help.

In the end, it doesn't matter the weapon. The more you use it, the better you get with it. Pretty soon I'll start a trend, and the forum trolls will be calling for a nerf on the Scramber Pistol.

Dunno if you've been around that long, but they already DID. Thing used to have much greater range, it was the long range sidearm :p

I would use all those AR skill points i've invested if the burst didn't suck.

You know the forums do the same crap. A guy makes a complaint about AR because he dies too much by it. Player deems it OP. Posts thread about it. Others, whom falls victim to the standard issue rifle repeatedly, reads the thread and begins the movement. Now community is populated with AR OP threads.

Then you have this one guy who creates an alt or decide to do a field experiment. Wielding the weapon and getting kills with it, he deems it OP. Comes to thread to share testimony. Figures because he did this, now the world will understand and agree with the other bandwagon hoppers who says the AR is OP.

The AR is not OP. It's not a one shot kill weapon. If the opposing player has prepped his dropsuit appropriately for those ARs, then the AR user will have to use strategy and skill to take him down. Then it can be argued that their suit is OP.

Silly thread, tricks are for kids

I have the opposite story.

I usually use ARs 90% of the time. Unlocked lvl3 (EXO-5) Mass Driver over the weekend. It's a beast and far more fun than the GEK assault rifle. A veritable kill-stealing monster. My only qualm is the 3 magazines run out very fast.

You calling me a nobody? There are a few that use weapons that require skill, BUT there are many thaT just use easy weapons, just to inflate their i-peen.

That thing has killer recoil you know, man I just said to increase the damn recoil.

An AK 47 DOES NOT have recoil, thats a stupid internet rumor created by armchair warriors who've never fired a gun in their lives. Fire one yourself and you'll see that the recoil is so miniscule that your sight picture looks like call of duty with how little the iron sights move. Fire some 00 buck from a 12g pump with a wooden stock, THATS recoil.

Im convinced everyone that says that has no idea how to properly shoulder a gun or just has tiny little arms weaker than a childs
I mean its not like we would spend tons of time making our real world weapons effective while minimizing their drawbacks right? Every real world army uses assault rifles that kick up into the sky if you fire more than a single shot dont they?
