Uprising 1.3 would like to have a word with you.
There were severe hit detection issues with almost everything. About Gàôof the rounds would just do no damage on a good day, and just getting straight shield flare with 0 damage was commonplace. It was terrible.
Except for the MD. Because of huge splash, it was largely unaffected by the terrible hit detection. And because it wasn't a frustrating mess to use like 90% of the other weapons, people naturally flocked to it.

There were at least 4-5 MD users per team in every match. So. Many. Explosions.
One of my least favorite FotMs, right behind Callogis with TacARs and 1.7 HAVs. Those were hell.
Luckily they fixed hit detection in 1.4, so people dispersed back to their weapon of choice.

Why the double post? I just wanted to edit it...

Why the double post? I just wanted to edit it... Doublepost514. They didn't fix hit detection, they just ramped up the aim assist so people could actually hit stuff, and it was horrible. Come to think of it, the AA at that point got almost as bad as Destiny's aim assist. Those were dark days, though I'm sure the AR appreciated the momentary spotlight. Nova Knives are best sidearm.

Eventually everyone started using them, and it was squad based so even if you didn't have a scanner, you would benefit form them 90% of the time.. The "You have been scanned." got annoying, sure, but eventually we just started ignoring it because it was always there, kind of like how people stop seeing their own glasses. Calscouts were worse. They were passive, worked in every direction, and they didn't even tell that you were scanned. Not only that, but they were exclusive, so while some people got them, not even close to everyone did like active scanners.

Sidenote: due to tank 514 I got ridiculously efficient at taking out tanks CCP doesn't know how to make money on volume, and their sales guy needs to be fired?! Fotm should've never been on the table at all?! The way to attract players isn't to give them OP weapon potential only to take it away?! It took them months to put up an AV kit that probably has had very little sales because it's $50! You wanna make money in dust? Sell the bundles of different cool guy gear, limited edition weapons and bpos, and limited edition vehicles. You've probably sold more boosters than anything else! Fotm is a dumb concept that we can't seem to get rid of?! "Anybody order chaos?"
