Feel free to make some :)

Are you serious, dude? That response was nothing but sincerity and politeness.

Listen, I work 40 hours a week, I have 15 credit hours in college, I have a dozen other things to do as a CPM rep, and I've got a freelance graphic design thing on the side. I had the time to make those videos today because I don't have homework due to the fact that it's mid-terms week and we had nothing but tests to do.

My bad for not being a super human and having more time to do what others are more than capable of doing themselves. Everyone's a critic until it's their turn to do something

Right right. Thinking that we may need to increase the reduction to kick for the Cal Assault. We'll see what happens.

EDIT: Here's the insincere and impolite version you thought you read: I'm not your maid. If you feel like I did something wrong you are more than welcome to do it yourself. If you want to come in here looking for an argument, we can argue, but don't act like I'm being a **** because I tried to encourage you to make the effort to contribute to the community and satisfy your own criticisms.

Below are two videos, intended for your education and knowledge, of Hotfix FoxFour changes to the Gallente and Caldari Assault roles. As you all probably know by now, the Gallente Assault received a RoF bonus to Assault Rifles while the Caldari Assault received a reduction to Rail Rifle kick/dispersion.

Compare the clips in these videos at your leisure as they have been provided. Feel free to comment with your thoughts.

CA Assault and GA Assault have nothing to do with one another.

CA Assaults having manageable recoil in that they can make use of their racial weaponry should not be determined by how OP or UP the GA Assault, or any suit, may be.

Hit up Kirk. Or Breakin.

E-mail 'em, or hit me up about this at a later time, in a different thread.

Because I know where this leads and I simply don't have the patience or energy for it right this second in a thread that was mostly about some videos to show the comparisons of current bonuses. Sorry.

Technically all weapons have snap-back so pulse firing will always result in an optimal experience. Assault Rifles, for instance, had a video in which a player was using a modded controller to pulse-fire at the same RoF as it would be if he had just held down the trigger. The result was no difference in RoF, but the weapon never received muzzle climb, and stayed on target. You can try this out with any weapon in the game, just hold down the trigger, be wary of where you were aiming before you started firing, and watch where the reticle goes whenever you let go of the trigger.

1. With Sniper Rifles, the snap-back and recoil are based on fire-rate. The Tactical Sniper Rifle, having a much faster fire rate, returns to it's prior position faster than the vanilla sniper rifle and therefore can land shots in rapid succession. If we homogenized the vanilla sniper rifle's RoF with the Tactical's, you'd see similar performance. The snap-back is something I really hate in Dust 514 because it is easy to abuse and makes recoil fundamentally useless unless you just like holding down the trigger. However, because of this, might as well just assume that all players pulse-fire their weapons. with that assumption the rail rifle becomes an outlier due to the fact that it must be charged up first, and therefore is much more difficult to pulse fire and remain accurate.

2. I understand the desire to keep it as a long-range weapon. With the consideration that the charge-up prevents pulse-firing to some extent, the only way to allow the Cal Assault to fire accurately long enough to make kills is to reduce the recoil and allow them to fire on targets long enough to apply lethal damage application. That's the basis for the recoil reduction.

Looks to me like TAR, CR, and ASCR will dominate the meta for a while. (Range still rules in Dust.) ARR and SCR have suddenly gone the way of the dodo.
