The MD is balanced.

Ok, so you want them to take the MD out of the game and replace it with something like a RPG.

Why? Because you're so terrible at figuring out how trajectories work that you need someone to do it for you? Do you complain that grenades do not teleport to a target like the longbow grenades in borderlands 2? |

That is completely wrong. It's one of the easiest to use in the game. You don't even have to ADS and it has splash damage. You at least need to aim an AR.

Before some n00b QQs, yes I have used it, yes it is easy, and yes it uses the same mechanic as a number of other weapons in other games that have a slow projectile that travels in an arc. Noticeably, the flak cannon in unreal. Also the m203 from other games can be more or less the same. There are many, many, many weapons that have a slow moving projectile which travels in an arc. Get good.
You just have played a FPS game over the past ten years to be familiar with it. |

Right, it doesn't need sights to use. Even if it had decent sights, there would be no point because you can fire just as well without them.

And more than half of AR users are terrible. (Note, most of these players here.)

lol.
due to kill hungry blueberries jumping in front of me at point blank and SG scouts in CQC, near impossible to hit targets from above, slowest reload time next to the swarm launcher, reload animation blocks 2/3 of the screen, terrible battlefield longevity, harder to solo with, disadvantage against AR, and on top of that the terrain glitch makes half the rounds duds if your target has even a pixel of elevation/incline making the MD overall unrelable at best.
Cosgar wrote:When's the last time you've seen a MD user in the top of the leaderboards that wasn't a logistics?
Today, yesterday, and a couple of days ago.
It's almost always a one hit kill if you can aim and hit someone. People move like they're swimming through molasses unless it is a scout. And if it is a scout, you can easily make him fall over with the splash damage. People love to jump too. One jump and *thunk* a couple hundred damage taken to the chest.
Fortunately, the number of players who can regularly get direct hits with the MD round is low. For some odd reason, people just cannot aim in this game, or at least spend some time in the red line shooting a lamp post or something until they can. That's why there are so many hip-fire AR users. Which is even more odd, because the AR sights actually are helpful, and it does make it easier to aim.
Anyways, just spend some time in the back with the MD hitting lamp posts and w/e until you get used to it. If you've been playing FPS games for a long time and can aim, it's an easy gun to get used to. In time you can get used to it too ^.^ |

It is kind of fun. I can only imagine the QQQQQQQQQqq that happens when some guy gets one or two shot with a MD. It's so dirty :3
You definitely do need to take up an equipment slot or two for nanohives to use it.
Also, not everyone in a logi suit is actually a logi  |

On second thought, I may not be the best person to judge what guns are easy and what guns are hard.
I think all of them are easy 0_0 lol.
Some easier than others. I go something like:
Swarm Launcher < Sniper rifle < Grenade < HAV Blaster < Shotgun < SMG < Laser Rifle < Forge Gun < HAV Railgun < HMG < MD/AR < < < < < Scrambler Pistol
Yah. IMO Scrambler Pistols are the only thing that take any skill to use ^.^ |

Am I alone in loving how a MD user can kill himself from the blast?
It's hilarious. If I'm in a free suit, sometimes I just bum rush some dude with a MD in hopes that he'll kill himself when he kills me! It is awesome.
And if I'm using a MD, I like to kill myself with it and deny an enemy a frag. It's not like this game gives -1 for suicide. |
