I could fire my Swarm Launcher at infantry, and it was OHHHHHHHH PEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Did this used to be a thing? I thought I heard that swarms used to be able to fire at infantry...?
Or is it just my imagination?

No. That was the ghost of Closed-Beta Past that showed you how swarms were back in Replication build. People use to run into rooms filled with redberries, aim at the floor, and collect glorious tears.

imagine a shotgun that fired missiles with 300 splash damage each, in a time when that was about the total hp of a suit, and nobody had aim assist
that was what the swarm launcher was like
oh, and you could lock onto vehicles too, if you really wanted |

In that time AV was great, you felt that risk to lose it.
Now nope

It was like a field of useful proximity mines, yeah. You generally only needed one STD AV grenade to pop LAVs back in Chrome though, nobody was skilled into LAVs so all the BPO Balochs got one-shotted. Ran AV nades on my vk.1 Assault so LAV Heavies would die before delivery and since Locus grenades were actually deadly as hell too they were still amazing fakeouts when used against infantry. |

tbh it still is supriseing that we cannot dumb fire swarms anymore..
they coudl ahve coded em so that if the signature was not of sufficient size the payload didnt explode.. that way it is still useless vs infantry but works for vehicles

Glorious tears with an OP FoTM you say. Well, that explains quite a lot about this community and why it's taking a nosedive towards the earth. |

Also here is what swarm launcher really used to look like.

Some more info on that video.
Demo was running on their Carbon engine, which IMO was much better to run on than an outdated Unreal Engine 3. (Legion is apparently going to run on that which probably made the Dust playerbase as well as myself go, "Why?")
Seriously, we've got UE4 now, why not do that? But I'm not a programmer or director so meh...
Another thing to note: yes, that is a grenade launcher attachment on an assault rifle which suggested that weapon attachments and customizations were going to be a thing. CCP did mention these, although they were a "far future" type thing. With the announcement of Fanfest 2014 and Project Legion, I've pretty much given up hopes of weapon attachments and customization (beyond buying the AUR variants for different paint scheme weapons).

it used to be like that in close beta and you could not damage yourself with the splash which was obviously not a good idea cause you could go into melee and shotgun dropsuits with it.
this was changed thus it wasnt effective against infantry anymore, at close range you killed yourself, outside melee it missed due to missiles pathing because missiles flew in all directions randomly.
but tank scrubs still complained because their 20k ehp sagaris could be killed by said swarms because firing without lockon was alot faster, swarm basically was an anti tank shotgun. sprint up close thus missiles hit, unload swarms at close range without lock on.
unfortunately devs listened to crying tank scrubs and nerfed both forges and swarms and from then on tanks were everywhere cause nothing could stop them in closed beta. this was basically the start of the endless buff nerf cycle of AV & vehicle balance. |
