Reg, if players like you have their way there would only be AR's. Let the game have some diversity. Nerf lasers much? Flux is lame maybe. Flaylock waaaa! Contact grenades...MOMMMMMMM!
Weapons have pros and cons. The cons to the MD are range and travel time. It is quite arrogant to claim other weapons noob because you deem so. List the pros and cons and work on constructive criticism.

I will start...the MD has travel time, I have to predict where you will be in order to be successful.(bunny hoppers hate this because gravity is predictable...bunny hop much ;(... )The MD can rarely be effective in combat unless given high ground in engagements more then 40 meters. MD reload is long and often. MD users have short supply of ammo so they become tied to nano hive or resupplies. The AR can actually kill at ranges twice the effective rate of MD...Back off bro?

I respect your play not your arrogance. I concede 1v1 your skill is rarely matched but...this is far from a 1v1 game...TEAMPLAYERS much. Your rage bleeds the truth that you only respect gameplay that only mirrors your own. For the love of diversity think before you rage.

OP, the game should be balanced around assault rifles, and when you have a weapon that requires little skills to use and throws off aim each time it hits, that creates problems for people who are actually trying to aim a gun.

flux and MD is even worse of a skilless gimmick.

He is crying about it because he can't stand being killed by anything that he isn't using himself.

It's simple really. Some people don't have any tolerance for diversity. They won't be happy until they turn DUST into a1v1 dueling match so they can demonstrate their elite shooting skills.

They can't stand the thought of a messy battlefield where they may die because someone got the drop on them with a situational weapon. They rage whenever they die to anyone they don't consider as elite as themselves. They compensate by deriding anything other than their choice of weapon as "noob" weapon. That way they don't have to take responsibility for having died and their fragile ego can remain intact.

The sad thing is that they can actually be quite good shots. Skill doesn't necessarily factor into who is going to fall prey to this way of thinking. In their mind every battle should be an exactly even contest, mano a mano. If you shotgun them in the face or MD them from a roof you are lousy cheating scum who is using a noob weapon to win, because you certainly couldn't beat them if you were using their weapon (like a real man).

The only cure is to realize that DUST is modeling a messy battlefield with many different weapon systems that all have different strengths and weaknesses and if you die to one it doesn't necessarily mean you are "bad" or that your teammates should laugh at you. It shouldn't threaten your ego if you get popped by a shotgun to the face.

Just let the rage go and enjoy the diversity that is DUST.

**** it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA that was awesome.

I agree with Zdub regarding what should be done with explosives but I also am not as hopeful as Zdub that CCP will actually do the right thing.

As such I resign myself to proposing the reduction of AOE for this weapon as 8+ meter AOE is just crazy high. You can miss people so badly that you accidentally shoot the enemy MCC and still get the person you were aiming for with the splash dmg.

Question: where was all this public posting against Regnum when he was in NF?
cuz i swear when Reg and Protoman post the exact same stuff hes posting now saw alot of Yes men agreeing with everything they said. Now hes not in NF and im seeing a few NF now voicing out against some posts he has and tbh his posts havent changed.

so question why the sudden public outcry against ppl like reg?
