- The HMG can kill 3 proto-guys with only 1 mag > nerf it
- The HMG can shoot 100m > nerf it

Link me these threads....

some of the numbers are exaggerated, but thats not the point of the whole thing

The problem with the swarm launcher wasn't the dumb-fire option, it was that the user took no damage for what would have been, sensibly, a suicide shot.

Link me these threads....

If you call that exaggeration then I call this thread crap. Don't lie to prove a point.

Are you seriously going to suggest that the forums have not been a QQ fest with people crying about anything that can kill and suggesting it must be OP?

Or, are you just trolling again?

Smells like a hidden "Don't nerf TAR" thread.
Notice how he kept it for last.

I seriously hope the OP doesn't think this will end the QQ war.

Something everyone has to keep in mind is that threads like this where we try to knock some sense into other people don't work all too well. There will always be QQers, just as there will always be people with sense enough to look at the bigger picture. As I point out here in this thread there are too few people who actually take the time to look at how everything actually works before jumping onto the Nerf wagon.

I regret to inform you OP, although valiant in your attempt, it won't do much good. This game's community is largely (I say largely, not entirely) filled with CoD and Battlefield babies who can't grasp how big of a game this is. And now that the game has gone full launch, we're going to be flooded with those kinds of newberries.

Only because of its actuality - I don't mind if the TAR will be nerfed


I'm aware that this thread won't change the current situation, just had to get this off my chest. But it's good to know that there are people out there who actually test the material they want to nerf - I really appreaciate that

I followed this forum since almost the beginning and all I can see is "nerf this", "nerf that", "this is OP", "that is OP". It's getting ridiculous guys and it seems there is no end at that tunnel. A short timeline:

- I can shoot infantry with my swarm launcher, ergo it's OP > nerf it
- Almost everyone uses the AR and it's OP > nerf it
- Oh, the mass driver does a lot of splash damage and kills people > nerf it
- The scrambler pistol does way to much damage > nerf it
- Again the majority uses the AR, therefore it MUST be OP > nerf it
- Grenades are OP, you can throw them almost 50m > nerf them
- The HMG can kill 3 proto-guys with only 1 mag > nerf it
- The HMG can shoot 100m > nerf it
- The laser does too much damage and can melt a heavy in short time when used correctly > nerf it
- There again: a lot of ARs running around, killing people easily with their Duvolle > nerf it
- Tanks are too strong and can't be one-grenaded > nerf them
- Sniper rifles do alot of damage > nerf them
- Forge guns are too strong > nerf them
- AV nades are OP > nerf them
- TAR is too powerfulo > nerf it

There indeed are/were some weapons which did too well, but there always will be. One nerf leads to another. It is pretty clear that most people use the AR, as it is easy to handle and it is obvious that the TAR is the most powerful among them. But what then? Will the Scrambler Rifle become OP? Or the Plasma Cannon?
I don't want to criticize justified nerfs (such as the TAR-modded-controller-issue), but alot of the requested nerfs are just because people are helpless and do not know how to tackle them. There is just one thing I have to say to those player: HTFU or GTFO. If you want a God-Mode go play some Half-Life


EDIT: some of the numbers are exaggerated, but thats not the point of the whole thing
