DUST Search - honesty time

Are you assuming that you are an average skilled player?

I would say that if your scores are typical for everyone then the AR and SCR are OP. however, when looking at the scoreboard at the end of the match I doubt that you are seeing 10-15 players on each side scoring 20+, your low end score, kills.

I would say that they take less skill in CQC then several other weapons but they are also necessary for the games survival, otherwise you would need to reduce TTK even further than it already is.

Why? Because if all the weapons needed a high level of natural skill to gain kills then the majority of the player base would not have any chance of killing anything while those few high skilled players will find it even easier to kill everything since most of the player base will not be able to use any weapon effectively enough to get a kill shot.

Stomps can be very bad now but if you up the skill needed to use all of the weapons then games become even more boring and if average players have little chance of killing others then they will leave.

calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 1279	Posted - 2013.11.26 20:07:00 - [3] - Quote i think they are both scrub weapons, thus why I use them both, AR is better at mowing down multiple targets as the heat build up doesn't exist, also at range the AR is superior due ot practically non existant fall off damage. The scrambler rifle has longer range but the fall off damage+ heat build up make it very ineffectively at super long range. for single targets the scrambler rifle is nigh untouchable for kill speed, and I enjoy using it far more then the AR, it works well as an assassination weapon, but falls short if you need to kill 2 or more targets in quick succession.

Grenades on the other hand..... The ability to aim and shoot in a first person shooter aren't impressive, they are assumed. The AR and ScR are not skill weapons. The title of "skill weapon" only belongs on Plasma Cannons and Nova Knives. Most of the weapons in this game aren't skill weapons, and in the case of Mass Driver and Swarm Launchers, are skill-less weapons. [+ªa¦Ç+¦++-ö-Å94] The Plasma Cannon is not underpowered

You get any weapon in the "ideal" environment and it will take very little "skill" to use. Closed Beta Vet Reading the forums detracts from overall enjoyment of the game

It's bullshit and you know it. AR and SCR are the most commonly used weapons, but you do not see more than one person scoring that high in a match, in your fantasy universe AR trumps every weapon and simultaneously somehow trumps all other rifle users? Sounds like some circular logic to me.
