Can't wait to see how effective laser rifles will be- unlike when ARs were used by everyone, mass drivers actually have an effective counter. |

Yes. Mass Drivers have become quite popular. They do significantly more damage. Played the new build for the first time today. The Tsunami was everywhere. |

ppl are so ******* cheap, if there's a whisper of the word 'OP'or 'nerf' you can bet an influx of players will start using or abandoning those weapons, respectively. |

Quick! Create a thread about how ARs are OP in the new build, and also make a couple about how MDs and LRs got nerfed hard!

The only buff I've heard about was two more rounds in a clip. Did I miss something? |

Tried a MD for the first time in two builds last night, didn't care much for it to be honest. Though it was entry level, it wasn't as OP as many led me to believe. Might try it again in a different situation tonight just to see for sure, and to see if I can use it as easily as I can my AR. |

Meh, the MD hype will die out in less than a week and then it's back to handy-dandy AR. Mark my words. |

Assault Rifles will always rule the day. It's the best weapon in the game and as the above poster states, most players will be back to the AR within no time. |

The MD is pretty much a support weapon, you won't fare very well trying to run frontline with it. I think the craze will die down as folks realize that and master the iron sights of the AR. Certainly by the time scopes are streamed back in.
People heard "bigger clip" and got a bit too excited. |

been using the MD since about september....
what I find funny is an EXO-5 is really not that big of a jump between it and the standard MD. (stats wise)
it is a great terrain weapon.. but you wont see me soloing with it. people should only use mass drivers with friends, or you will die quick and hard. 1v1 is fine just not 1v3 1v5 like some people on the forums are acting
wait hang on just had a thought.
its ok when you get killed a lot by an AR? why? is it because this is a FPS so that automatically means ARs everywhaere?
and grenades? what about remote explosives on objectives... we could be like BF3 and have people get butt-hurt about the objectives being armed and dying at the console |

I need my Breach again.
Yeah, a lot of new kids on the block are making Mass Drivers public Enemy No. 1. Some put more SP and ISK into it more than I did to use Advanced Mass Drivers.
I find it hilarious and fun when there are missiles flying through the air. Its thrilling like facing off with a wolf. |

Mass Drivers got a strong buff just from the hit detection / lag / exploding issues improving, any other changes were icing on the cake. They were intended to be a support weapon, and they sort of were before, but they were unreliable. Now they're reliable, but they're more of a kill everything weapon than a support weapon. |

yess and no...
I can take out a lav BUT!! I have to carry Flux grenades, and a Nanohive or taking out that lav would be near impossible
becuase MDs are shiet against shields and even though my magazine has 6 in it my max ammo without the increase perk is only 12
and taking on any other vehicle (dropships not included because they suck) is not even worth trying
and yea i have taken out a dropship with my md but to be fair he just hovered there and took it
seriously you dont see that many flux grenades on the field but they are a mass driver user's best friend |

i used them quite a bit before this build and the only difference now is i can kill heavys easier,.
Before we the 4 shots i would use them all up getting him in to half armor and whilst reloading /swapping to my SMG i would die but with extra 2 shots helps take down these, but in reference to scouts/ weak assaults, i haven't noticed any difference in mass drivers, only the amount of people using them
On a side note had so much fun yesterday when i stole a derp ship and because i cant fly for **** crashed on top of a building and uses my mass drive as like a mortar :) so much fun |

MD's did get a buff but they won't be a heavy front line weapon for long because of increased clip size the amount of full clips you actually carry is very limited, I think default you get 6 grenades in the pipe and then 12 more, the reload time is still absurdly long, And they do have travel time if you're good at dancing you can make them expend almost all their ammo and hit them while they reload. That being said I have been blind sided by some MD"s when I'm running away from a HMG heavy just to find my corpse in the air before going splat. They can be annoying but if you dance well and make sure to always take out every nanohive you find or hack every supply depot you'll find them more managable |

It seems to be when multiple players are hitting the same area to me. Not sure if 1vs1 the weapon is as powerfull as it may seem. But its hard for a fat boy to get out of that situation quickly enough to survive. Just have to start re adapting I think. More time with the build will prolly change the way players make movement and attack decisions. |
