Or if you can drilld by an assault rifle before he's in range of your much bigger chain gun? The list goes on... but basically it defeats the purpose of the game to have the ridiculous ranges we saw in the last build. You be trollin' If a guy with a viziam is drilling your squad, you would be able to fire back. Thats the neat thing about bullets that don't disappear -- you can have a weapon that is effective at range but isn't invincible. Unfortunately, simpleton Dust players have trouble wrapping their minds around that concept.

This is a new stepping stone that will have it's own bumps and pitfalls. Man up people, its far from "ruined" or "broken" but does require you to play a little differently. It's amazing how quickly people forget how trashy some past builds were. Nostalgia I guess. Not terrified at all. I can hang quite well, still. The problem is that it isn't fun to do so. If I am doing everything correctly and successfully, but it isn't any fun to play because the mechanics are **, why should I be ok with the status quo? I was not born with a in my mouth and I feel no need to be supportive of every decision CCP makes on their own. Justin Tymes wrote:** SS was broken, shouldn't have existed, taking it out was one of the good things about this build. The nerf on range outside of SS is the problem, and the additional nerfs to HMGs, MDs, and Lasers were overkill. Max range with SS should have automatically been applied to every weapon. The game was completely functional when everyone was skilled out. In the case of HMG's, all that needed to happen was a decrease in accuracy at range, not a complete stop to how far the bullets could travel. That's a joke of a solution in a game about guns.

Unfortunately, simpleton Dust players have trouble wrapping their minds around that concept. If you want to whine about realism then why not make the HMG bullets do the same (or more) damage than the AR bullets and have the same (or longer) range? It's not an issue of realism. It's the issue of the game sucking.

I have to get near him? b-but..he might shoot back" The only people who take issue with hitting a smaller target are unskilled scrubs who suck at every game they touch and are looking to Dust to level the playing field so they can feel relevant. Sorry but if you suck you shouldn't get a free pass. That sort of defeats the purpose of competitive gaming. And no, forcing the engagement closer isn't going to make you a better player. You should get that delusion out of your head now.

Thats stupidity. Every weapon should have had maxed sharp shooter bonus built in from the start. There is no advantage there over new players, just more solid gameplay.
