I spent over 4 mill. in sp point to upgrade the characteristics. After doing so i spent the rest on my dropsuits. When in match the very first thing i noticed was the fact that there was no range to any of the assault rifles. These are rifles. Not sub machine guns or shotguns. Why is the accuracy quoted at the level it is if its only good within 30-50 meters. My fellow assault corp members have decieded that the update needs work and will not return until the issue has been resolved, nor will I recomend this game to an average shooter gamer. Most COD fans that have tried to transition over find the game not geared to a run and gun and cover style. more of jeep, sniper, grenade launcher styled game. Delete my post if you want but the truth is your update was very flawed.
Man, I would love it if this were actually true and people were inspired to pick up something other than the AR.
Personally, I think this is a subtle troll attempt. |

Considering that this is the definition of OP, yes. Second, it also hurts the diversity of the game. You can't have balance without usage balance.
Also, for the record, calling something a rifle implies nothing about range. To be considered a rifle, the projectile must be induced to rotate. That is all. Maybe, in this case, it helps the plasma stay compact. |

Maybe, in this case, it helps the plasma stay compact. Pulling the science card here... Plasma is not a solid... the reason for rifling is that it induces spin on a solid object producing a gyroscopic effect. The spinning would impart centrifugal force, causing the plasma to spread apart. So, I guess what I am saying is that "plasma rifle" is a misnomer.
If you're going to pull the science card, at least do it right. No one said that plasma is a solid. Rifling implies twist, that is all. Plasma stability in tokamak fusion reactors are partially stabilized using twisted, or helical, magnetic fields, thus, the closest real analogue to a plasma rifle, would be a tokamak style fusion reactor.
When talking about energy levels associated with hot plasma, centripetal force is much too weak to be a major concern. Far more important is the natural tendency of the charged particles to repel each other, and it's here that the helical magnetic field helps. By definition, a plasma contains charged particles primarily.
Now, back to the fictional setting of the game, again, calling a Sci Fi weapon a rifle means basically nothing.

Plasma stability in tokamak fusion reactors are partially stabilized using twisted, or helical, magnetic fields, thus, the closest real analogue to a plasma rifle, would be a tokamak style fusion reactor. One could, with a stretch, call this helical stabilization rifling. When talking about energy levels associated with hot plasma, centripetal force is much too weak to be a major concern. We aren't in the realm of newtonian mechanics here. Far more important is the natural tendency of the charged particles to repel each other, and it's here that the helical magnetic field helps. By definition, a plasma contains charged particles primarily. Now, back to the fictional setting of the game, again, calling a Sci Fi weapon a rifle means basically nothing. Centripetal = to seek center Centrifugal = to flee center Bro, do you even Latin? A tokamak fusion reactor requires the plasma to be confined within the tokamak. Also, in a plasma there is usually a great disparity in the velocity of the plasma particles. The plasma would dissipate rapidly outside of tokamak or stellarator.
I think I know what I'm talking about regarding centrifugal vs centripetal. Check it out. Centrifugal isn't even a force, it's a perceptual illusion.
You're right about your plasma comments though. So, Yay, we can (I hope) agree that centripetal forces do not factor in when discussing hot plasma interaction (mm, hot plasma interaction ) and that calling a Sci Fi weapon a rifle means nothing about it really.
