Allright the current build is out for some quite time and ive made the following observations:
-Main weapon is still the assault rifle
-increase of logis running around the field
-massive increase on people who use a heavy+HMG
-laser rifle users are still a minority you see maybe 1 laser every 4 matches.
-mass drivers are still rare
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". |

Lasers aint OP they are in the same state like shotguns. When you are in optimal range you deliver devastating damage, if not you get killed very easy. Even a proto laser will barely touch the shilds from a militia assault suit at point blank range while he gets gunned down by a AR. You simply need to do the opposite what you do against shotgunners. Against shotguns you keep distance, against lasers you need to get close. Treat a laser rifle user like a sniper, get up close and kill him. Its not that hard to do. And most laser rifle users will stay in a good overview spot where they can keep distance. Another thing is lasers do have range limitations you can do the range game aswell by picking up a sniper rifle and outrange the laser. And dont tell me that there are not enough snipers. In the last build you could see every match 3-4 snipers sitting on mountains. |

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. |

Fun thing to know is that i used laser rifles before every 1 else even thought off it. Cause they where looked down and nobody even thought of replacing their precious AR. 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. |
