[quote] I don't see how anything can be more OP than the laser. Let's compare: Laser: *it's a one-hit kill. True it fires three shots in one burst, but not all 3 shots have to land to score a vehicle kill. *Unlimited range mostly (3/4 of sandtrap is close enough to infinite no matter how you word it.) *5 shot battery *instant travel time. *Has a red light to alert people a laser is aiming at you but that can be avoided by looking away, charge up, then at the last moment aim at the vehicle. Besides the charge time on the laser is too short for a vehicle to go anywhere. Plasma weapon *Has a charge time like the laser. *shots take time to hit the vehicle (can be avoided). *Probably take multiple hits to kill a fully intact vehicle. *shots home in on vehicles. From the looks of it, I'd say the laser is pretty overpowered. I could play Avalanche, get the laser, camp at our lift and not let any vehicles through the middle, waste all 5 shots on enemy vehicles/infantry and by the time I'm done, the laser has respawned. Low ammo... yea right. But just an analogy to prove my point. You are controlling the hill in Valhalla. A warthog is seen driving from your enemies' base to you. You have two choices: a) Covie Missile pod b) Spartan Laser I think we both know what you're going to choose. Why choose a weapon that takes time to reach a target rather than the other weapon that is just a point and charge light of death that accomplishes the same end result? The Splaser is better than the Covie pod in all areas of anti-vehicle warfare and it even excels at other areas as well. Even Bungie staff (forgot name) said they don't want redundant weapons in this game (i.e. laser out). [/quote] Did you even read my post, or just decided to rush to a uniformed post? *it's a one-hit kill. True it fires three shots in one burst, but not all 3 shots have to land to score a vehicle kill. Wrong, 80 points per beam, so 2 have to hit to kill a person *Unlimited range mostly (3/4 of sandtrap is close enough to infinite no matter how you word it.) Point makes no sense whats so ever *5 shot battery And? Elaborate *instant travel time. Yes, HITSCAN. It's called that for a reason. *Has a red light to alert people a laser is aiming at you but that can be avoided by looking away, charge up, then at the last moment aim at the vehicle. Besides the charge time on the laser is too short for a vehicle to go anywhere. That is an opinion, there for holds no water
