This games culture cracks me up.
1st - Everybody is about equal. No serious complaints.
2nd - Mass drivers > all.
3rd - Heavies dominate everything with HMG's.
4th - Assault rifles > all. Heavies/HMG worthless.
5th - Laser rifles and forge guns > all. HMG's, and AR players worthless (but heavies now have a new role with forge sniping).
6th - TBA
We are currently in the 5th stage, TONS of players are now using laser rifles and forge guns against infantry. These are currently the "it" weapons to use.
Wonder what will be next... Or is the hybrid assault/heavy laser/forge combo the end-all OP setup? 
Shotguns and snipers are complained about, but never in mass-quantities. Perhaps they are next up to bat?

Well perhaps, but vehicles are another topic altogether. |

I used my laser rifle build for the first time after a long time. I had much fun 'til a group of three snuck up on me, and beat me to death (well not beat. they shot me, while grenading me etc.). I felt so proud of my laser skills, making people gang up on me. Haaaah delusions. . .
But then again i hardly see any laser rifle user out there. Sniping on manus peak still is a major pain. Forge sniping is in you say? i have deep respect for every forge gunner who can forge snipe snipers. Only managed to get a sniper using a forge snipe once. |

It'll probably be the new scrambler rifle. Or will it be underpowered? Or will it be cheesecake. I hope it's cheesecake. |

Forge guns? FORGE GUNS? Are you serious? Forge guns are absolute ****, and if you are getting killed by them then you are standing around and making it easy. Forge guns are no where near as accurate as they used to. if they are forge sniping then they deserve respect. hitting infantry at a distance is not easy. the accuracy is already crap. they NEVER get the kill count as assault, same as hmg. yet you think they are op? give me a break. |

Meh, basic mmo metagaming mentality. As certain things become popular, people find counters to those things, or start trying to play differently so as to not end up in a position where they are repeatedly defeated by those things. Happens all the time in competitive pvp, I remember Guild Wars used to have a huge section of its community dedicated to following the ebb and flow of its metagame, tracking which skills were in, what builds worked, etc.
At the start of this build, when everyone was low level, people specced into ARs because they were cheap and the Gek was powerful and easily obtainable. They specced into HMGs because they dominated in close quarters. Now, a few months on, people are more powerful, they have specced into new things, they're sick of getting cut down by heavies in close quarters, so they spec into lasers to fight them at range, which also gives them an edge of most ARs too.
Tanks have also gotten more powerful, so AV players have specced up their forges, and have had enough practice that they can make them work well as anti-infantry too.
We'll probably see more snipers soon, to counter the lasers, or more shotgunners and smgs, to get up close and deal, with both, which will then lead to an increased number of mass drivers again, and at the same time we should have the new scrambler rifle and plasma launcher, which will force people to start rethinking their shield tanking ideas and the cycle continues. |
