| mirgro said: The knife is the only reliable weapon I found. Just walk up to them and stab, the hitbox of the thing is very generous and there's like a little dash or something. Far more reliable than any weapons up until the AK for the tech person, shotguns included. I am on the PC indeed. It was gifted over Steam. I know that I have stabbed a level 30 player before but I got no gold tags, or maybe he was the wrong one. I just know I've stabbed a whole lot and no gold tags. The way I see the pin and patch system is that it forces you to play with certain guns even when you don't want to. Having to do something I'd rather not do is a pretty shitty design idea for an entertainment medium. Also it's fine if you don't like the later guns, but the simple fact is that the early guns are just shit and seem like they only exist so that low level players suck. There is no reason why this game couldn't have been just 10 ranks with half the guns. Considering that 3/4 of the guns are useless, I'm being very generous here. |
I think that the shotgun isn't reliable at all. If you can't get a 1 shot kill with it at close range then it's useless. The AK is the Assault's starting gun, are you referring to another gun?
I believe getting players to try out new weapons temporarily is a good thing. But that's subjective opinion, and I respect your's.
No, the early guns and later guns have their advantages and disadvantanges. In other words, they're balanced, nothing is better than the rest. The MG3 has extreme rate of fire, but isn't reliable at far range. Statisticly, it's not better than the M60 in everything, and vice versa. Again, statisticly speaking, the early guns are not inferior to the later. 3/4s of the gun aren't useless the F9000 is good for headshots and close range, the M416 is superior at closer range than the M16, the M16 alllows skilled people to get headshots, the AUG has a nice balance, etc.
You can say that the early guns suck as a matter of opinion, but stasticly, they are not.
