i'd say the map favored your fused locus nade spamming more than anything
however, i was surprised calamity jane and annie oakley didn't do better, that map is prime for shotguns |

open areas of manus peak and outside the compound areas. good luck throwing those things accurately at a target 40 meters out without getting lit up. |

If Calamity and Annie couldn't carry STB to the win on that map (because they did carry the rest of them), it wasn't going to happen. Pretty sure STB tried to get a dropship up there and failed. I like Calamity and Annie good players, good people. But PFB has more talent and it showed. It's the little things like this that humble me and annie. thank you. /bow And king Kobrah, me and annie and the stb members did fight hard, but lots of proto weapons and gear and team work make it hard to be an effective shotgunner. pfbh know thier stuff and we did all right for shotty wielders but only so much you can do against people that know how to fight back well :P To sum up the battle,It was like fighting a pack of flipping rabid honey badgers. you know you have to try to put them down but man its hard and the suckers fight back with blinding rage.
seems like you were constantly forced to be on the attack all game which i'm sure didn't help you much either, especially with guys on the roof constantly raining down fire on you. |

You miss the point....Fused Locus Grenades > Locus Grenades. Doesn't matter where you are. Besides, the situation you describe would happen to anyone throwing a grenade; fused, flux, or otherwise. Our best slayers favor AR and we have a couple very good tankers so a map like Manus would have played into our strengths much more. We still would have guys using fused grenades but I doubt any of our guys are dumb enough to throw grenades over using their Balac's in open terrain like the areas between the objectives on Manus.
I've had success throwing flux nades over long distances, but that's about it. obviously you'd have to be a ****** to use fused nades in an open area, i was just pointing out situations where they'd be mostly useless. |

I got a few direct hits and it barely did any damage.
that's unfortunate, considering how many times you threw grenades in the video. my original observation still stands, that map is prime for shotguns and fused locus grenades, it's not like that map totally favored STB.
they fought hard and it was still a close game when it was all said and done. |

Yeah you can clearly see in the video me and annie eating a fused to the face on several ocasions and we continue running forward at our targets. fused are fun and great determent but not fully as deadly as a good m1.
yeah, you don't get a lot of choice when you have a shotgun, gotta keep pushing in. dropping back will just get you grenaded around a corner or eventually shot in the back.
against scout shotgunners i'll take fused nades all day long, but against assault with heavy shields, they're not nearly as effective. i much prefer flux nades over fused nades against a shield heavy assault shotgun. |
