The splash damage in these weapons is in the low 100's so yea we are going to survive splash damage especially since we tend to fire the shot behind you instead of in front. If we do fire in front its to land a direct hit.
So sorry you are just mistaken.
I've accidentally suicided by bouncing a round off a nearby structure when firing on another player trying to track them, so it can definitely hurt you. There is very little splash damage on these things though, at least on certain models with low skills. |

There is already low enough Splash damage. I can personally vouch for the fact that a shot from a Mass Driver that doesn't hit the target directly, very rarely causes damage at all, and if it does it is usually minor. That's even considering hitting the ground at there feet, which I have tried on numerous occasions with little or no success.
edit: Also, you might consider the fact that a mass driver may have a projected explosion in the direction of fire when it detonates. This is actually a fairly sensible assumption. |

No it doesnt need less splash, at all the radius on them is small enough and damage wise they are just fine, If they become any smaller the MD becomes nothing but another close range noob tube with no utility as mid-long range suppression weapon. I do agree about friendly fire though that something that would hopefully cut down not only MD spam but nade spam as well. Also the assualt variants have a small splash damage larger radius and it works just fine becaue it has a larger clip. The breach which is already pretty useless would become even more so if splash damage was nerfed because they wont just nerf one variant and not touch the others. The owner does take damage in the splash zone, keep in mind most shots place behind you, be glad that round often appear to go right through players and impact on the ground behind them when it should have been a direct hit. Given the size of the round i know there a ton of times i had a direct hit just float right over the top of the head or through the legs.
Nade spam? How many times have you been killed by your own grenade? I have consistently died to splash damage from my own grenades if I drop them to close to myself, which i Will do if the enemy is coming at me and I'm out of rounds, armor, or whatnot.
Unless you mean they can't hurt your allies, which is something I've never considered. I suppose if that's the case.. well, you might be right, but what is to stop players from doing it intentionally. We already have guys that sit around doing nothing to help, while assisting the other side through external voice coms as far as I can tell. Team killing is an obvious next step, and has been in every other fps that allows it to date. |

There is very little splash damage on these things though, at least on certain models with low skills. There's little splash damage on yourself largely because you're rarely at the center of the explosion, so there's some amount of falloff already being applied and you're not taking the full splash value that you might cause to enemies.

Not to sound mean, but you're not very good with the weapon if you're having trouble hitting people with splash. Either that, or you've got an excessively laggy connection. It's rare that a shot that should splash an enemy ends up not doing it, lolterrain explosion-blocking nonsense aside.
No, that is literally dropping one right at their feet, though maybe a few feet behind them or next to them depending on how much jumping and dancing they're doing. |
