Yeah, more than a 5 meter radius at proficiency 5 and still a 4 meter radius if you are just getting into them with 100+ splash damage, firing a grenade a second, totally weak

Seriously though its a god damned grenade launcher, its going to be powerful but at current its another noob tube like the flaylock but even more forgiving for those that cant aim for **** since they spam the ground around the target waiting to get lucky

If you can't dodge a slow moving projectile or don't have the sense to run the hell away, then MD deaths are your fault. But keep bunny hopping, it only makes you easier to hit.

Implying I bunny hop, its a habit I never got into since Ive been playing other games that punish you for that for a long time now
Its also not that slow moving and like I said the large radius makes it incredibly forgiving and aiming for the ground rather than the person can also mitigate the slower movement speed since shooting short lets that wide radius instantly catch them

The bunny hopping thing wasn't especially directed at you, just anyone that does it. Seriously, it makes my job that much easier. But you have to face the facts that the MD is an area denial, anti-rush weapon. Therefore, it's working as intended because it makes you think twice about advancing and scatters organized squads like roaches. They already tried nerfing the hell out of the MD's radius and look at how well that turned out. It's got the lowest DPS, ammo capacity, and one of the slowest reload times out of all the light weapons. On top of that, you need trajectory prediction and can't be under your target while firing. What other weaknesses do you want the damn thing to have?

What other weaknesses do you want the damn thing to have? I know where you are coming from and Ive used the damn thing and it is a little over powered but all explosive weapons in the FPS genre tend to swing that way since you really do barely have to aim it I can run around and just point in someones general direction and unless they are completely out in the open Ill be hitting them and doing damage while the explosions and smoke help throw off their aim Its kind of like all the people that were bitching about the TAC, under all the outrage there were some valid points and some tweaks need to be made while keeping the MD viable which is more than is right now despite all the "drawbacks" that arent that major that you guys cite
