The Maelstrom- your impressions

[Kikinchikin]

What do you all think about the maelstrom? (those of you that have tried it)

EDIT: forgot to say, altho I think the lasher is a stupendous weapon, as well as the MCG, i'd rather have a maelstrom, altho ill be carrying an MCG/maelstrom combo (with decis in my inventory) on emerald and a lasher/Maelstrom combo on konried. I just dont like the jackhammer as much as i used to.

It is great because of the accuracy and damage at everything inside its range, and having a lash grenade alternate fire is a plus. Under about 5m, normal HA is still better imo.

The Maelstorm alone is worth the $30. Everything else is just a bonus to me. Now I've got 9 Maelstorms and 9 Jackhammers in my locker just waiting to be used.

I really don't even understand how the Mealstorm even damages. I used it in VR Training and it looks like some lightning is coming out...I don't know exacly how to aim and it seemed I could only fire it at an enemy, I couldn't just shoot it around.

Malestrom is ok, I'll still kill you with my Guass or BD before you can even get close.

[Dharkbayne]

Up close, it can take reinforced down in less than 5 seconds, it is the ultimate close range gun, AND it has GRENADES!

[kerosene31]

It works great at close range. It is best to use it while carrying another longer range weapon.

[I Hate Pants]

PFFFFT! Not nearly as good as the cycler.
THE CYCLER OWNZ ALL!!!!!!!!!!

^ damn straight

[Kikinchikin]

heck ill go off topic. I never liked the cycler as much as the MCG. I rarely used it once i got heavy assault. Something about it just didnt appeal to me. It was too small i guess. Needed my huge gun :D

[Rbstr]

I realy prefer the guass over the JH because you have range, but the JH is so much better even if you just charge up getting hit on the way, i htink the assult rifle need slight buffs, mabee even a rethinking. The guass need more power range and accuracy, but COF bloom stays the same. The cycler is good but need a higher ROF and less damage. The pulsar needs to do something different from the other to not just fire a plain old boring pulse perhaps it should do some kind of heatseaking thing but damage would have to be mini-nerfed.


I like the malstrom but its not all that good even in its range, Personal shield works realy well in defence to it too.

[FightForFreedom]

I think the maelstrom is pretty cool, but I would take a MCG over it anyday :D

[SecondRaven]

I tryed it.....all i can think of is quake

[Flammey]

I carry a Maelstorm, or two, and I carry a long range weapon, like the Pulsar, or Supressor. Unless I know I'm doing Close quarters. Then I carry a shot gun, and/or a Lasher, and/or a Maelstrom. Ain't nothing like killing a bit with a Lasher, running out of ammo, and switching immediately to the shotgun and killing some more with that. With the Maelstrom, you need a back up weapon, for when you run out of ammo, or are close to running out. That thing EATs ammo too fast.
