DUST Search - Buff the Scrambler rifle - Nerf the combat rifle and HMG

Being a very frequent CR user, I'm kind of biased against a CR nerf, but I can understand why we all need one so I'd "begrudgingly" support it lol.

As for HMG, I literally HATE that gun in its current form. That instant "stop" effect from it is a crutch for heavy users. I don't care what anyone says, IT IS. If I could completely immobilize a target with my AR, CR, or other weapon for a couple seconds, I could easily kill them almost instantly as well. No other gun in Dust, except maybe the laser, can do that (and nowhere near the capacity the HMG does). I was able to tolerate HMGs even before 1.8 I just learned to work around them and actually enjoyed the guys who were good at defending objectives with them (and still do); they made matches challenging and required more strategy.

However, now with the constant heavy spam BS, it is almost impossible to avoid them completely, particularly in Dom matches. It is starting to get to the point where I've gone up against teams using 80-90% heavy suits, all with an HMG. They're fricken FOTM scrubs. You have to use the currently most OP and in my opinion due to the "stoppage" broken gun, with a suit with built in resistances and a huge HP reserve just to get kills? You can bring in the sneakiest scout you want, or tankiest logi suit, or even another heavy, if there's 6-8 guys all in heavy suits with HMGs and a repper logi camping a single objective; there's NO way anyone is ever going to be able to get in there without an OB or a tank (and not always even then if it's in a building like the Gallente facility)

I wallow in pools of blood and wash myself anew, I throw away my ugly self in order to become something beautiful...

As a scout sniper pre-1.8, this stuff is fun for me. Trust. Who needs armor modules and all that jazz, when you can snipe heavies from mountains for fun? Its incredibly funny mind you when the entire enemy team is using slow ass heavies. Especially when they try to run up a slope you're sniping from..the truth is to kill me they have to keep running--but they can't kill me WHILE running. During that time, being such a big fat target, they've already accrued 800+ damage from my ML/STD Sniper rifle if not dead. While a group of them charging up your slope is challenging (depending on their weapon), it isn't impossible. I welcome the challenge more heavies bring. I think people finally realized running heavy suits is cheaper than proto-ass dropsuits that have less eHP than Sentinels and Commandoes. And besides, its nice to have a few capable Cal and Galmandos around. I wallow in pools of blood and wash myself anew, I throw away my ugly self in order to become something beautiful...
