Some people are using special, modified controllers to make the tactical rifle fire at it's near maximum rof. The result is that even heavies melt in a second or two. Is this cheating? Are there plans to fix this?

Should I drop heavy (which still has bullshit for range, btw) and go for a scout with tar and a modded controller?

Although there's no official statement regarding modded controllers that i'm aware of, i think we can safely assume that usage of non standard input methods in order to gain an unfair advantage is considered cheating.

This thread discusses general balance and possible cheating with the tar so i'd advise you to contribute there if you haven't already.

Also don't spec into OP gear because it's OP, as you will cry when it gets fixed. You've been warned

ps.In theory, even militia ARs are perfectly capable of killing a proto heavy within two seconds.

the Modded contollers arent the problem, its the Rate of fire in generall.

I know people that can shoot the Tac faster then my Modded controller can

It's too effective in CQC too. That's way to tight of a hip fire spread.

Agreed The hip fire spread is too accurate for fast sustainable fire. I think the faster you pull the trigger the wider the spread should be. I think this would be an easier alternative than trying to cancel out the effects of Modded controls. This should also help reduce the use of Hip fire with TAC ARs. So the faster you pull your trigger the wider the spread, However I think while ADS with the TACAR the spread should be tighter regardless of trigger pull, at close ranges, but this will also diminish the use of TACAR's in close range situations since ADS reduces movement speed. In turn, making the user more susceptible to fire, as well as, making it more difficult for the user to track opponents in close quarters environments.

So if you increase the spread of the TAC ARs Hip fire in relation to how fast you pull the trigger, and at the same time giving a spread reduction bonus to the TAC ARs ADS mode. I believe the problem would be solved in a well balanced manor.

Besides thats how guns work, guns fire as fast as you can pull the trigger, but the more you pull the trigger the more the guns sights are going to move around. especially if your shooting from the hip. So if your shouldering your weapon aiming down the sights steadily squeezing the trigger the more you'll be able to stay on target, and that is exactly how the TAC AR should work
