Good Day,
My original thought was about Friendly Fire and Officer Weapons.
I often run Ambushes and encounter "super squads" Ones where they run proto or officer dropsuits and both (all three of their weapons) are officer gear.
If you look at the killboard at the end of the match, I often find these super squads getting 500 + more WP than anybody else in the match and 20-28 people all fighting just to get to 150 WP, and frankly 16 or so not making it. Players from both sides are struggling, just by having, this group of just four players in the match.
I have both experimental and officer weapons, I honestly don't run them that often, but I do have them. More AR's and Plasma Cannons others
I'm not trying to make a profit off of this info, but it seems to be a favorite rebuttal on this forum - you hate what you don't have. Uh, No.
I encountered at least one group that, seemingly, equipped nothing but officer sidearms in both (all three) slots and was in at least two ambushes in a row, One I was on their side and the other against. How do I know, I was killed a couple of times by sidearms and was paying attention to the roll at the top.
I've encountered this before, when a player gets a new skill and "abuses" the opponents. one player and his squad had rep tools, nanohives and proto scanners, and the one player did nothing but use Core Grenades, he killed 20 + players in a 50 person ambush. Part of the problem was no one could "flank them" because of the spawn points and the scanning. he had so much support and the way grenades work , you could not mass enough fire power on him or his supporters.
Of course most folks will just say, it's one battle, just move on.
I don't like to stomp and I don't like getting stomped. It hurts the game.
Officers weapons have no penalty, some folks will say it puts a big target on the player, because, everyone tries to kill him/her, easier said than done.
The other big argument is often, well facing these challenges will only make a you a better player, uh no. It only makes you a better player, if you can figure out a way around the problem. If you can't figure out a way to beat it, you're not a better player.
Officer weapons tip the balance in their favor. They do. Often in a very big way.
Anyhow thanks for reading this. |
