this thread is so full of stupid ranting my brain tried to disintegrate itself.
Forge guns are OP, the same old song and dance. Blah blah blah.
let's ignore that it takes 2-4 splashes to kill someone and your average gunner has... 14 shots. OOOOOH scaaary!
if you stand still while a forge sights in on you for the whole charge time? yeah kiss your ass goodbye. Unless, you know, that wide-ass reticle doesn't happen to be exactly where the shot goes. You can really only nail large vehicles consistently. Infantry is like 1/3- 1/4 shots if you're aiming to strike directly.
Let's move along. Oh yeah, running right at the heavy. You DO realize you get bigger in that reticle as you approach, thusly making the killshot a foregone conclusion?
The HAVs and other **** are getting a base defense buff to compensate for the loss of PG, so you don't have to fit a paper thin tank anymore once the hotfix goes live.
Dropships have always gone down like chumps to 2-3 shots from prototype forge guns. this is nothing new. them going down from being shot by swarms is, however, a new phenomenon. It's surreal to see the missiles actually hit!
finally, if you cannot figure out how to kill a forge gunner while operating in an infantry role, you are bad at DUST and should uninstall immediately. heavies are big, slow, inaccurate, and pretty much if you get close to a Forge gun it's all over but the crunching unless he has an SMG in his pocket. Then you might have to work for the kill.
Forge guns have a hard counter: it's called infantry. If you can't figure out how this works, and you are going to ride the waaaahmbulance instead you will never figure out how to counter the weapon.
it's like the old laser. I routinely ganked viziam users because I knew how to engage them, and did so relentlessly.
And I did it in a slowass fatsuit, after surviving their initial attacks at around 80m.
Forge gun doesn't even take THAT much thought. Were you aware that the random crates, rocks and **** can completely block a forge shot? it's why tanks hide behind them when they're getting bombarded.
more waaah nerf threads are not what DUST needs.
it needs more conscious thought. if the Betamax bandits can intercept and kill me/that FG sniper/random militia FG/etc. before we attempt to gank their tanks, what's keeping you from doing it?
seriously. not hard. |
