Any AR can kill you in .5 if all shots hit you. You are just lucky the dude wasnt using a scrambler pistol. 1-2 head shots and you are done-zo.

You shouldn't restrict the gear people can wear because they don't meet your SP requirements. I've got 7mil SP and I've got proto gear, NVM can only wear ADV gear what a waste.

Yeah, skills and certain armor modules provide much more of an advantage than weapons. Weapon balance is something that is over-rated in these forums. Look at the difference in damage between militia and proto weapons, it isnt much. You dont gain THAT much from upgrading to a duvoulle at all.

Certain advantages are big though, upgrading the mass driver or forge to increase splash is huge, upgrading to the TAR or the Duvoule TAR for added range is huge. But the damage? Its relatively negliable. In a lot of cases it doesnt even change the time to kill at all.

Now, being able to increase tank, or speed, or reduce kick etc all actually make a much bigger impact then doing 5-10% more damage since most guns kill very quickly if your shots land.

jesus christ...

use militia ar. kill nerds. they whine. guns nerfed.


use glue gun. kill nerds. they whine. incoming nerf.


you guys want PvE so bad just so you don't get killed and i swear to god...

the AI is gonna redline you.

and you're gonna ask for nerfs

Peace

I'm sorry that you feel that way. Why not try it out yourself? If it is so OP why are you not using it? The kick from it at base level skills to use it is still significant and the supporting skills that can be trained up to level 5 also give the weapon a good advantage over a standard assault rifle but if you play a few matches where everyone seems to be using scrambler rifles and hitting people at the same ranges of a TAC you will see it is by far not OP. It could also use a bit more range on it as the scope can pick people out at a good distance but often if you are trying to hit them the red dot will not show up until they are already hitting you. This is because there are now quite a few people using scrambler rifles the way they were using the TAR. It has a much higher ROF and can very quickly get the best of most TAR users from outside their range.

It's because, although you are all trash players who should probably just delete dust from your PS3 before you chain it to your car and drag it through the street, we still want the illusion that the game is fun and competitive for everyone before we take everything you hold dear and ruin the experience for you.

You shouldn't restrict the gear people can wear because they don't meet your SP requirements. I've got 7mil SP and I've got proto gear, NVM can only wear ADV gear what a waste.

Correct all TARs are overpowered hence why it's the only gun anybody is using

Go ahead try and argue its not

No. I refuse...

Ok, I did. and you're sort of right but sort of wrong. The tac rifle is supposed to be a sniper/AR hybrid, not a high capacity pistol.
It should have a unique place on the battle field that caters to a certain playstyle and you do that by keeping the thing that makes it great, Long range/high damage, and getting rid of everything else.

Maybe you shouldn't have used the most obviously OP weapon currently in the game as your example, then. I can OHK militia suits with my Flaylock, but there aren't a lot of 'ZOMG Flaylock is OP' threads because those deaths are a drop in the bucket by comparison. (It's not just that Tacs are OP; they are also crazy popular on the battlefield.)

Well, the higher gear players are noticing that the TAC AR is very effective in close quarters. More so than a fully tricked out HMG.
I also do consider that part of its effectiveness is the fact that it isn't as effected by lag as the full auto weapons because you constantly nag the server with requests that it recognize your existence.

But the weapon is out of its element and is THE go to all around AR choice ATM. That's not where it belongs.

CCP is implementing a matchmaking system that sorts players from their WP. I'm sure it was supposed to come out with release.

I just posted my idea for matchmaking HERE


WP matchmaking will severely limit low level ques as time goes on and sort of punish those who play even after their bonus cap has been reached.

Melee is over powered, it has infinite ammo.
