Be quiet, you have the ability to take other factions warpgates.

holy shit could they spawn back in their warpgate?

[Damiann]

Wait... I... wow...

[CrystalViolet]

Did anyone ever say NC is underpowered?

[Tom Peters]

If anything, NC is overpowerd. :\

[Arovien]

the OP's photoshop skills are overpowered

[Gugabalog]

I have to say from what I've seen and heard from others that the NC are the most powerful faction. They are very effective up close due to their high damage and pretty effective at range due to their highly accurate weapons. I think that maybe they should sacrifice alot of accuracy for their power. The same as TR sacrifice accuracy for fire rate. Then give VS true precision domain.

[Stardouser]

VS is currently the most powerful faction for HA/LA/eng/medic guns. They have higher damage than TR per shot and a very fast firing rate. Firing rate is the decider of victory in any evenly skill- matched close range gunfight. Yes, NC has higher per shot damage, but it is not enough to bring parity.

Do you even play?

[blackfang]

NC infiltrators are overpowered, a torso/head shot usually kills people in one hit. Its so irritating when i play sniper and have to hit both two and three times:cry:

But seriously, how?

[Galron]

NC snipers are OP, I get one-hitter-quitter about 50% of the time at full health.

So I spawn as a VS or TR sniper and have to land 3-5 shots. Dumb.

[Gugabalog]

Do you even play?

Yes, I am in beta. Two words: Bolt Driver.

[NewSith]

I judge from my |Laser Dot - Reflex Sight - * | SMG experience and NC have a really good one.

My chart would be:
VS SMG (Highly versatile, closely followed by...)
NC SMG (Takes some pray'n'spray skills up close but is the best one to fight from afar)
TR SMG (For the amount of led it can release the accuracy is really bad)

[Renegadeknight]

wait is this real? can you actually cap warpgates?

[Sunrock]

Reading all this QQ threads about faction X is better then faction Y I start to wonder if the only class you can play in this game is sniper and there are no vehicles at all in the game. It would not be that hard to come to that conclusion for some one that don't know anything about the game at least. Because all you do is QQ over how snipers are here like nothing else matters in game.

PS: No you can't cap warpgates it was some rare random bug that cause that.

Pray and spray skills....really? /insert "You keep using that word" meme

[FreeSpeech]

Anyone who claims NC is overpowered is delusional! We have the worst accuracy in the entire game and accuracy dominates all. TR and VS can simply waltz up to someone , not bother to dodge and kill them in less than 3-5 hits. NC guns recoil like crazy and if you've been shot, your aim is even more distorted. So far the only reliable way to kill anyone is a shotgun and even they aren't great due to having an effective range of 5 feet.

NC need a serious upgrade, it's so much easier killing enemies with TR or VS and as for TR's airforce, MY GOD it dominates the crap NC get.

Try playing them sometime. You'll find the standard sniper is pretty good (being that we get bolt action rather than semi as our first), but I have to pour certs into weapons to make them even decent. With other factions, that's not even an issue, the stock weapons are fine for me. I've got like 200+ certs into the Gauss SAW and it just now works well enough

[FreeSpeech]

Gugabalog clearly hasn't played NC. He'd change his tune then. You need 430 CERTS in the stock HA gun just to make it remotely viable yet the TR HA gun is a death machine, able to cut you down without any issues.

Well put, the NC is not massively under-powered, its just be on par with their stock loadout, we have to dump 200-300 certs, and of the most part our stock weapons are trash.
Outside of that, the weapons overall need a small buff, to bring our ttk up with the other factions, and the cone of fire needs to be reduced.

For the em6 the 7 dollar NC weapon, to even be slightly on par with the free stock carv, it cost 7 dollar and 300 certs. Even after that its not as good. Plus lets not forgot our inf zergs are basically crap, because stock vs stock with average players, the NC will get shat on 80 percent of the time.

Necros are bad people

Agreed, to all of that. Especially regarding the COF. And thanks.

Another NC whine.. Look, I just made an NC character to see what I'm getting killed by, and this is what I found.
NC6 Gauss SAW: GREAT CQC weapon out of the box. Not nearly as accurate as the Orion, but in close quarters this thing is like an automatic shotgun.
Gauss Rifle: Shot grouping is probably not as effective as the Pulsar, but beats the Cycler.
AF-19: What in the actual kitten? How can you ever complain about this thing? The damage output is insane and has a TTK much faster than even a CARV, so we don't even have to bother comparing it to the TRAC-5.
Bolt Driver: Don't even... Giving this thing as a default sniper rifle should probably be criminal. If anyone ever says the starter TR sniper is better, they need to stop sniping immediately.
MAX: Dual Scattercannon... Insta-kill in CQC. If you use this thing in concert with your brain, you'll never complain again.

Conclusion: Use brain, don't spray 'n pray at range, aim, spray in close quarters to win. Your damage from well placed shots will still have a faster TTK than most TR weapons... and God help them when you start getting attachments for those stock guns.

Hardly, I can transfer to any of the other empires and perform better with the starting weapons. NC weapons bother me a bit. Yes, sniper is good, yes, scatters are good (caveat is only up close). From what I've personally used, the SAW desperately needs upgrades. Look at the COF. I play a lot of FPS games on consoles, on the pc. The only thing that ever gave me so much trouble (albeit in a different way), was the mission in Metro 2033 where they cut your response time carrying the kid to his parents.

[Gonefshn]

I love the NC weapons. Seriously this who is more OP crap is so lol. It's fair.

Population wins fights. Teamwork wins fights. I can do as well with any empires weapons it doesnt matter.

I can't saw much more than lol, please actually put some time in the weapons before making posts like these. Our ttk is worst out of all factions, and the Gaus saw is useless if your not in someones face.
