The Amaar get a Scrambler Rifle to go along with thier op pistol

Ccp's anti Caldari at this point, Im a frontline Caldari merc that would like to use a weapon from his own race.

Except for the fact that it says underneath your name Gallente Federation.

I digress. It requires a good aim and quick shot, not to mention that it has a very small clip size and low body damage.

I've been on the other end of a scrambler pistol in the right hands and its op. Also I was posting under my alts name.

So now weapons are OP if they can kill when used correctly and with good skill?

Maybe CCP should implement an anti-aim assist that automatically moves a player's reticle away from the enemy if they start to do too well in a game.

Anything that's not an AR is OP when an AR user dies to it. You know how many "You n00b tubing >insert homophobic slander< go die in a fire!" messages I get since I've been using the mass driver full time?

Wow really? Is that actually how people act? I thought that was just some dumb blanket stereotype. I, for one, am to lazy and occupied to look at who killed me, then look through the player list and take ten minutes with the soft keyboard just to send hatemail. Besides the fast that I realize the MD is a ***** to use. I am an avid AR user, simply because it's what i'm used to. But you just keep calm and PROtube on my friend.

^FTFY (also, nice reference at the end of your post)

The ammount of AR elitism in this game is pretty ridiculous. Not sure if it's a CoD thing, because I've been playing FPS since Doom 95, Unreal, and Quake Arena and never seen this kind of butthurt before. They're usually the ones QQing about everything in game that isn't an assault getting more kills than them. They cry that tanks are OP when they try to kill a gunlogi with a militia swarm launcher when they should be using a forge gun or at least flux grenades, but have 0 SP into AV, they whine about heavies (post nerf) being OP when they try to fight them head on. Hell, I've even seen some so disillusioned that they think an AR can out damage a shotgun. I'm not necessarily worried about longevity of Dust, I'm concerned about CCP trying to cater to these morons to keep the money flowing in.

Spot on!
Back in 2006-08 when I heard Dust was going to be a console exclusive, this was the first thought in my head:

"Is the console playerbase mature enough to handle a game of this magnatude?"

CoD is the cancer that's ruining creativity in the FPS genre, the only chemotherapy to it- MAG, has faded to obscurity and both playerbases (along with EVE's) have all come to Dust. It's safe to say that CCP can't just appeal to one fanbase without pissing the other ones off, but I still worry in the back of my mind. If Dust gets sucked into the "Cult" of Duty, we all might as well quit FPS.

Or maybe they should make it so no matter what, no one can die unless you have two to three people shooting at them.

2 things:
1. The scrambler pistol isn't OP, it takes a good player to use it and only then its effective.
But that's true for any weapon, only that noob players can use them too, but with less effectiveness.
The scrambler pistol is the weapon that rewards accuracy the most.

2. The shield favoritism tells me that Caldari are very much loved inside CCP.
In fact if I remember correctly, the entire trailer team are Caldari.

Ok, let's talk about the OP then - it is a shame that the gauss rifle doesn't look to be coming at the start of uprising but SiSi is rarely 100% accurate in predicting what new stuff is definitely coming, so who know? Maybe it will come May 6th. If it doesn't, I'm sure it won't be too long down the road, so just hold your horses a little longer.

Holy hell... I actually saw posts about people finally recognizing what's going on!

+1 to the OP. I reall want to see the Gauss Rifle too. We need more general purpose/utility weapons like the gallante AR around. Variety of utility weapons is a beautiful thing.

+1 to Cosgar and slypie11, for recognition that some assaults cry about every other weapon killing them (which lead to them getting nerfed or handicapped).

But don't let the OP's post derail! lol

The Gauss Rifle is probably going through the balancing ringer right now.

I for one, wouldn't mind some weapon types being exclusively Officer-level.
If the gauss rifle is just THAT good, that they aren't sure they want to release it on Uprising, just make it a rare officer drop.

I just know it'll be a boss weapon. Capable of serious mid to semi-long range sniping, and it's railgun-style operation ensures damaging impact power, at almost any range.

It has "OP" written all over it. I don't blame them for hesitating to release it.
I say make it an officer-level weapon, just so we can still have it on May 6. Then make the weaker more balanced variants available later.

Don't get me wrong, Call of Duty is fun. But I didn't come here for fun. (...)
