Another for the pile of I'm not kicking ass so something has to be nerfed.

Better solution, don't hide in the corner when someone is shooting slow moving grenades at you. You got your mass driven and now you're crying on the forums. Lemme guess, you use an AR too don't you?

People are using them to spam objectives so the enemies can't hack it. Good crowd control weapon, gets the people moving and lets your team pick off anyone who scatters.

I just skilled into it the other night. Run it with a STD Flaylock Pistol, STD Remote Explosives. I'm a running bomb. Plus 2 enh. cardiac regulators. I'll get them proto soon.

On an unrelated note, we should all be relegated to spoon warfare.

EDIT: should I start being nicer?

Yeah i gave him a +1, what of it?

Another rage thread go home.

Hello Kira! Been around these parts for a while and the MD has gone through many tweaks, it was powerful, nerfed, and now usable again. It sucks to get killed by them, but they are pretty good where they are in my humble opinion. Consider attacking a mass driver user from a different angle. They are easier to evade if you have the height advantage, or can sneak up on them.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

I don't like the MD and I know this thread will be ignored so I support this nerrf, somebody get that man a hotdog! Lol

wat
no...just...

Suck it *****. That was all skill too. I'm boss with the MD...

LOL, no. That was me screwing around, then choosing to snipe one person, then went back to AFKing with my MD.

TBH, the MD is in a great place right now. I don't use the MD as much as I used to, since I'm playing a lot with the GK burst AR in preparation for the Combat Rifle's release. But I still revert to using it in challenging games, and in matches were the enemies aren't respecting proper formation. When you get redberries bunching up behind cover, I take my death with dignity and bring out the EXO to exact punishment and remind them of proper flanking and fall-back maneuvers.

In the end though, I'll continue to adapt my MD gameplay to whatever changes the Devs bring down on us, while the rest of you continue to scurry around as usual and whine when you die.

Hope to see you on the battlefield,

I used to run into wannabe massholes all the time. They run around with their EXO-5 like it's a damn shotgun, trying to jump over their own blast radius. I usually sit back and take them out with a few direct hits from +40m. It doesn't terrorize me because I use it and understand it- something you might want to try before coming on the forums whining. I have Prof 5 and guess what? I get more kills with a militia AR because it's situational, not a good 1v1 weapon, shoots delayed rounds, and has the worst ammo management, only rivaled by the plasma cannon.

Wow... That's just uncalled for.

His tears are delicious. I wish I knew the masshole that got him worked up, I'd want to shake his hand.

Don't forget the big ass red spotlight that travels across the map since the 1.4 patch. People see me from a mile away and try to flank since they see my logi suit. (That's when I detonate the REs I laid near the ladder)

I wasn't the one that made a "I just got my mass driven and instead of learning from my experience, I'd rather cry on the forums" topic.

So you are complaining that the area-denial and breaching, area of effect weapon was doing its job?
Very few weapons outdo the AR in their own niche, the MD is one, it doesn't need a nerf!

Also you didn't get hit by an MD at 120m, the slug doesn't travel that far, bit goes about 90 tops, not to mention its only scoped for 40m, and takes nearly 3 secs to travel that distance!

What suit were you using, was shield or armour tanked?

How about we increase the blast radius and make them like a real grenade launcher and fire a single shot before reload instead of the magical fantasy gatling gun style weapon they are now?

As a MD user myself i have to disagree that they have no real weaknesses. They have quite a few, some of which will kill you.

Ammo is perhaps the most annoying. It generally takes a nano hive to bring our ammo capacity up to what a stock AR has (without a nanohive).

Terrain can also be a disadvantage. If we have the high ground we will have better accuracy, usually dominating the area. Being below our target however is a completely different story. Its insanely hard to land an uphill shot with a MD, requiring you to land a direct hit. With travel time thats uncommon unless people stand still. If you shoot low you can also clip the terrain early hitting yourself.

As i watch what people do when faced with a mass driver, the biggest thing i see that surprises me is they ignore it. I can make it very clear i am denying a specific area, or hallway or what have you, and they will keep trying to push through it.

So if you're having trouble with MD's play smart. Take the high ground, fight on your terms. The worst thing you can do is not pull back.

Explosives, rapid fire explosives doubly so are pure area denial weapons. If someone is using one to deny you that zone, do not push through, sneak around behind, change positions, get the high ground. Mass drivers have huge drawbacks compared to more standard weapons. Taking advantage of these is key to beating them. Hell I had one guy sneak up behind me with an MD. I managed to dodge the first shot because I heard him fire it from behind (7.1 surround sound headset) and then zig zag at him with my smg. Once I was in his face it was over for him.
