As stated before in another thread - I deal in facts and numbers, not word of mouth and speculation. Someone said the Scrambler Rifle has more recoil so I went out of my way to show the difference between the two and wouldn't you know it, now that I have, everyone is tying the SRs into the mix and wanting them nerfed as well.
This is RAMBUNCTIOUS. The reason those people suck is because they don't know how to use their weapon effectively and I can almost guarantee that they weren't using it in a squad-based environment which is probably what it was intended for (which basically classifies ANY specialization weapon).
You can't run up on someone with a mass driver and expect to get results. You attack from afar and have the benefit of other team mates shooting at them.
You can't gun down someone with a Laser Rifle and not expect to be vulnerable when you're aiming down the sights or engaging at close range.
These weapons WERE NOT DESIGNED for people to run up and die at 30 meters and then whine and ***** about the assault rifle doing it's job - they're uninformed players who's sole instinct is that if it killed them (the entire point of this game might I add) then it MUST be over-powered because there is no possible way that they did something wrong.
Too many people grew up with World of Warcraft and got a reward everytime they did something. Your average gamer foams at the mouth when you mention "patience" or god for ****ing bid "think". What in the bloody hell did you expect to happen if they just died when they attacked AN ASSAULT RIFLE head on????????
the problem is there istn any room for any specialised wepaons (mass driver possably being the exception with its ability to drive people out of cover)
in any situation where you are building a squad your better off bringing in 6 assault rifles then any other configuration, for any job, the assault rifle does it better.
we dont NEED other weapons for anything, their purpose is served by the assault rifle.
ive seen over 9000 heavys runnign around with assault rifles now.... its getting out of hand that if you bring in another weapon your hurting your team.
keep in mind, im not an AR user. i blow people up with explosives. so for me to swap to something im unfamiliar with and instantly enter DUST514 godmode was rather startleing
i get that your angry, i get that you used to these kinds of arguments.
im nto your average gamer. i m not afraid of dieing thousands of times to adjust to something.
i use patience and planning to kill, my primary weapon of choice is remote explosives.
i can use a novaknife scout and stay positive (even since 1.4 hit)
ive been playing this game since closed beta and im one of the top 500 most active players in the game.
i am personally fine... this AR BS isnt really efecting me too much outside of forcing me to use more scoutlike tactics and changing what my targets are.
im STILL not going to use the damn AR, i hate the thing its just not a creative way to kill people... doesnt mean i dont want other people to use and enjoy it.
i get that your angry at your average gamer... but your average gamer i am not. and when i say i know how to use flux/MD i mean it. hell ill actually go ahead and say the breach MD is flipping AWESOME, its the minmatar shotgun! that and i can aim the thing.
