The first default gun shouldnt have to put more than 5 rounds into a heavy plated soldier before they drop. Of course spraying doesnt work, im not playing CoD im playing a 256 player,not fun, knock off. Listen MAG isnt bad its just not fun.

 

I played with 256 players and i couldnt tell it was 256 seemed like R2 had way more people going at it. 

 

You have fun playing your MAG,KZ2 and Gears where you shoot BB guns and it takes a ridiculous amount of bullets to bring someone down. (Tho im gonna rent mag lol )

A pal and I tried out the damage in a corner of the map where we both managed to get in, during the public beta.  It took 5 rounds to the chest to kill someone, with the default SVER assault rifle, and the opponent in heavy armor, although the 4th hit practically did the job.  It also took 5 rounds with the default Raven AR, which is supposed to be the weakest per-hit -- and expectedly, the 4th round didn't put them as close to death as the SVER rifle did.  If you shoot them in the arms or legs, it takes more hits (6, again with the tier 1 SVER AR, 7 with the Raven).  If you shoot them in the head, it takes less (1-2, seemed similar across factions).

It doesn't take very long to put 5-7 rounds into a slow-moving heavy armored opponent in MAG.  It doesn't take long to put 4-6 rounds, or 3-5, or whatever into lighter armored guys. They don't jump 10 feet in the air and run at 40mph like in other shooters.

I think you should rent the game Garnett, and give it another go, if you're a big shooter fan... although it sounds like you were determined to not like it, from the get-go.  Its not for everyone, it seems.

Its not a bad game, its just the damage values suck for starting weapons. Oh well you can upgrade at least. 

I guess i was expecting it to be like Project Reality but its not. (Project Reality was my fav FPS ever, so i cant really judge them as there both different.)
