There is a map that we already have and I forgot its name, but it was the one in the tourney.
D and C are under buildings and there is a CRU near C.
If you climb the C building and shoot down at the CRU, you can't hit anyone there.
That's how good it is.

That's how good it is. You should go look at the map. That's pretty short. Might as well pull out a pistol, has the same range. Anyone liking this really has no clue.
The furthest I've gone into ARs is Operation III. I put a GEK on the Assault - Frontline suit and I kitten everything except protobears.
Heavies are dead because I harrass them from long range then sprint into medium range, strafing, and they can't even take out my shields.
Shotgunners? Plz. You need corners to get to me and even then, my spray in close-range is almost as devastating as your wall of lead, unless you're in a scout suit.
Other assault rifles? Throw grenades and run away.
Mass drivers: get up close and shoot.
Lasers: same as MD.
Forge gunners: kill
Nova knife: Laugh and kill
Snipers: Get OHKOd, go sniper hunting, kill
It's effortless, man. EFFORTLESS! I suck at FPS games, and typically go 4 - 16 (this happened yesterday when I got smashed by shotgunners, trying to use a shotgun and failing miserably), but when I equip the AR suddenly a magical force bestows me with uber accuracy and extreme reflexes because suddenly I'm not dying and killing kittenloads of redberries!
My K/D is above 1 only because of the AR. If I had decided to stick to another weapon exclusively, I would have been in pain. This range decrease creates situations which ARE NOT OPTIMAL for the AR. Currently, there are almost no situations where this is the case.
Range boosting modules will probably arrive on the scene in a few years. Wait til them. |
