All the guns have optimal ranges in which they are the best....(primaries have a good bit of overlap within them, but not with specials). Snipers? Extreme range. Fusion can often be killed by a primary if far enough away. Shotgun owns close in. Special weapons complement your playstyle to a certain range/movement type. Shotguns are for movement, close range. Fusion are for stationary, short range. Snipers are for stationary, long range.

  • Unfortunately it's bad to be a sniper in this game only 2 maps make use of all gameplay styles and the rest a -blam!-in shogun and fusion rifle orgies.

  • Yeah and it makes everyone's play style campy and lame. You know how many time I've walked by someone crouching in a corner with a shotgun? TOO MANY. You know how many times I've been shooting someone in the head with my primary weapon, and got one bursted fusion rifled from medium range? TOO GAWT DAMN MANY

    So basically you want everyone to run n gun like CoD? Tough cookies, (worst kind of cookie) if you're being killed at the appropriate ranges for each respective weapon then that means your not using your other tools to negate certain situations. For example, running into a tight room with a control point in it. If you think they are all camping the doorway with shotguns throw an area of affect grenade in the doorway then go around and flank them. Its startegy, head shots, and map awareness that wins games. Not fast twitch running and gunning.

  • Except fusion rifle does not need a head shot, shotgun at least needs to be around melee range to be a 1 shot, this nab gun 1 shots you meters and meters away. But ofc every CoD kiddo or clueless player is going to defend their easy mode weapon.

  • If you get shotguned at melee range you should obviously be one hit killed (OHK). And the fusion rifle is an OHK to the body if all the shots hit. If one misses that dude is toast. I know the game has a lot of OHK options, but the developers obviously knew that and allowed for it. Just because the PvP is unforgiving doesnt mean it should be changed.

    strafing is needed for any fire fight, which is why auto rifles excel. unless they are nearly within shotgun range, I usually come out on top v. a fusion. (miss a shot with an auto? who cares miss a shot with a fusion, you are dead). (do a raid with most players, and you hear incessant crying about hobgoblins during boss fights because the players are stationary pinatas).
