Mass Driver is going to be strange in 1.8
On one hand, all rifles are nerfed
It's getting a damage buff,
On the other, Heavies have been super buffed, Mediums won't exist population-wise, and you won't even see most scouts.
HMG will remain powerful as it is
Nanohives nerfed
Minmatar Assault will make for one fun Mass Driver suit. (11-13 shot clip)
It will be weird.

Apparently. But if you pay attention, you will see the scouts. If they rely on their cloak to travel, they will be a lot slower to transition and won't be able to disappear in plain sight, but the cloak will only be useful to get the drop on people if there are more than 1 form of cover to use to deceive them.

People run past my logistics because it doesn't show up on assault radar. I'm guessing they won't generally see cloak shimmer.

Cloaking but no integrated sights or IR on weapons. Or maybe even a sight to pick up cloakies.

About the Heavy. You just need to hit them WITH the grenade. Like, say, the Breach Mass Driver. Kinda what it was made for.

It's kind of sad it never said that the breach MD was getting buffed (or was it?).

Yep, it will separate the skilled from the unskilled. I for one, am unskilled. Hey, if your shooting a heavy with a mass driver, you'll probably kill the mini logi behind him

People really can not do direct hits effectively consistently unless you are using a assault MD because it is easier to account for every successive shot but of course it's the splash radius that is useful.
I always heard that doing most of your shots with a direct hit would qualify you as a great MD player but I have never heard anyone ever boasting about it....an example would be if you are using a Freedom MD with a obviously higher rate of fire than the Breach and you are going for direct hits you would be spending more time lining up shots; and the damage for direct hits is marginal with the Freedom, in that case you might as well be using the Breach. Which leads into my former statement, if no one is using the Breach no one is doing direct shots...and I still never see anyone using the Breach...
