My main concern is that a huge amount of players are focus now on on heavys. There is allmost no skirmish where the half opposite team is not sitting in heavy suits with HMG's. This becomes appearently very popular since the AR has beeing balanced and now every n00b hops to the next best thing to spray and pray. Because the accuracy has beeing increased aswell on them they can shot you on allmost the exact same range like assault rifles. Opposed to the general thoughts laser rifles are not the thing that the majority is going for cause you need to be accurate with them to do anything good. Though i saw heavys with laser rifles. Well i would like to hear other opinions about the "heavy dropsuit situation". Heavy's. All most. Apparently. Being. As well. All most. Heavy's.
Thought you read your posts though before posting them? You really let all those mistakes get thought your proof read?...
AR's will always be the most popular weapon, the problem is that now some of the AR variants are balanced and some are unusable, like the breach and TAC variants.
More logi's is due to the WP's being put back in now that boosting has been fixed.
Massive increase of heavy's/HMG is due in part to the AR nerf, now we have lots of much harder to kill people on the field using the same tactics they use to.
Laser rifles are much, much, much more common now, they are severely OP and need looking at.
MD's are also slightly OP and need looking at. |

No one complained about them last build. Neither about MD'S
Just because people don't complain does not mean something is not balanced, it simply means the masses have not worked out that the items are unbalanced yet.
Give it a few weeks and everyone will be using MD's and LR's. LR's especially.
Funny how Dark Cloud was crying about AR's for weeks and now they can't counter LR's due to being unbalanced he thinks that LR's are perfectly balanced. |

MDs, LRs i consider speciality support weapons
You may need to simply that post into baby talk to Dark Cloud for understand it. He clearly does not get the fact that AR's are "standard". |

As much as i disliked you at the start from the whole MAG BS that flooded the forums i do sometimes think there's very few people here that think things through and look at the whole picture as much as you do. |

The dark cloud wrote:Well if you think the lasers are overpowered i can give you details in what it is capable: -area denial for infantry -medium-long range support
not capable: -CQB fights -assaulting objectives
In my eyes its mainly a squad weapon to support your guys against people who are on medium-long distance. You can aswell defend a objective as long you have a good and wide view in the area where hostile troops need to proceed. However a laser rifle is not capable in taking a objective cause its just not good enough to fight people up close to a objective. Thats where AR guys hop in and go for the hack. What you guys mainly are getting upset is when 1 laser rifle gets into a very good overview spot and basically camps it like no tomorrow on ambush (my speciality). This is a legit tactic cause on ambush you are supposed to get as many kills as possible and dont die to much. And you guys forget the fact that a AR kills up close much quicker then a laser rifle. And shotguns have the potential of 1 hit kills. The AR is a jack of all trades. You get what you pay for. It doesnt shine in any special situation but it is a decent allround weapon. The damage is fine on it cause when you get up close you basically force the laser rifle guy to use his sidearm which is high likely to be inferior to your assault rifle. And i highly doubt that you will see tons of lasers in the future. Simply due to the fact when a n00b picks up this weapon he does terrible with it. To be good with it you must have these things:
-situational awareness -good positioning -good aim (cause you need to be aible to keep the beam on the target) -squad support who helps you to defend your camp spot on ambush
Yes i can get 30-0 on ambush simply cause nobody is actually bothered to take me out. Before the maps became smaller i had massive problems with snipers who hunt me down. And whats so hard to pick up a laser rifle by yourself and trying to fight back? Its basically then the same situation with AR vs AR. The guy with the better reflexes and aim will win. And its not really difficult to find the laser rifle user. Just look from where the bright green beam is coming.
If they are not OP why did i just jump in a match without a single AR and everyone was running LRs?....
Everybodys jumping on that right now because they are OP. |

Because ppl are fraking idiots, they see themselves getting demolished by a LR user so they decide eeww i want to try that. NVM the reason ppl get slammed by LR is because they move around open space for too long. All you have to do is learn to find objects to put b/w you and a LR and they are worthless. Then close the gap. Too much open space to cover to close the gap, have you squad provide covering fire till you can, tactics do help. The reason ppl think the LR is so beastly is because most FPSers play out in the open like morons never thinking or worrying about cover until a sniper rings their bell. People just need to adjust, once they learn to think about the possible threats to get from point A to point B they wont find any gun OP. Sounds like LR user QQ to me. |

Best solution rather than tweaking damage would be to make the LR only damage shields.
It's a true support weapon then. |

This was stright after the missile launcher nerf and i wanted something that not every 1 used. And oh well seems like it worked out pretty well for me.
Yes DC, you're the only person on the enitre game that was using them when they was first released and everyone was curious about them. |

I'm all for a diverse set of weapons, if it's not diverse things are not balanced and that's my point, i'm seeing more MD's and LR's than anything else.
It's impossible to quantify because its the people on the forums, reading the threads and actually testing the mechanics that are using them and the people who are playing it casually and not giving a **** about the games outcome that are the majority of AR users. |
