When were MD's all the rage?
I recall a fair amount of complaints, but only from folks who didn't use it. I never saw much use in matches either. It mostly stood out because it was so rare to be killed by one, sort of like how shark attacks make the news.
Are you complaining that you are vulnerable when looking through a scope? If so, you need to realize that it's there to facilitate longer range shots and won't be so hot when used in the middle of the action, just like you don't use a sniper rifle in CQC.
Or did I miss something? |

Or did I miss something? You sir are blatantly lying. I don't know about you but I was here for the MD bonanza and it wasn't pretty. A plethora of mercenaries used that thing and a plethora of mercenaries complained about it. You and many others just don't get. You and many others choose to omit information to conjure up any story to go against what I'm saying. If it were true, I would agree with you...but you didn't post the truth about MDs.
You sir are composed of hyperbole. I used the MD on my Logi suit since shortly after its introduction so I know what I'm talking about. Yes there were complaints, but they were based on impressions from CoD where they really were "noob tubes". It was obvious that the complainers hadn't ever used the weapon themselves. Perhaps you were one of those folks?
Many MD users calmly rebutted the half formed arguments and outright misinformation but it didn't seem to have any effect on the posters. I sense you are reacting more out of emotion than logic and reasoning. Perhaps you should calm down and consider the changes as they relate to he health of the game as opposed to how they effect you personally. |

You cannot balance weapons so that they are equal to each other. Do you realize that? There's no such thing as weapon balance. Is the Viziam Scrambler Rifle on par with a Militia AR? Is the FG on par with the MD? No...because they are not balanced.
They can't be identical, but they certainly can be balanced in their role. The RR has great range, so it needs to be less effective in CQC. That is done in both cases by limiting your FoV with the scope. |

Of course they can't be identical, but we're not talking about the identity of the weapon or the look. He was talking about weapon balance. You're putting pancakes on salad...stop it.
You stated that balance is impossible and I respectfully disagree. |

If you just waltzed in here just to talk about who's right or wrong about the time of MD, please, find yourself the exit door. I don't have time to argue about who's right about the MD experience. That's not the point of thread
I read the tirade, but perhaps it didn't all stick with me through a reading of the entire thread.
Why did you bring it up if you didn't hold the view that it was OP? |

We may be in violent agreement.
Balance is applied game wide, not narrowly weapon vs weapon.
That doesn't mean that balance cannot be achieved. |

Why did you bring it up if you didn't hold the view that it was OP? lol because it's a reply to someone and it touched on a few things that you mentioned? You can't figure that out on your own?
I was correcting your misunderstanding that the MD was ever the FoTM. As others have confirmed, it never broke 10% usage. It had a far greater emotional impact than it ever had in kills. |
