Dual Wielding Splatter Max

Chinchy · 2012-02-25, 04:04 AM

Anyone else get the impression you can dual wield Splatter Cannons as a max?

Was too busy thinking about dual wielding flame throwers

(But yes I think it implies you can dual wield AV or AI if you want)

Well I hope they do it right.

What are your concerns? Visually or balance wise?

Because balance is sort of a non issue when deciding if you can have one or two arms at this stage - rate of fire etc are just numbers to set in playtests

dual wielding shotguns no matter how you look at it is dual wielding shotguns :P

Glad I'm switching to NC!

Dual Lancers may be handy.

If Lancers are in game...

That's cool. NC will need all the help they can get

Nothing can help them.

I played NC yesterday. And besides their quite powerful weapons, ALL of them are just terrible players.

I deleted that NC character today. Never going there again, ever :P

I want that promise spelled out in VS blood.

They may be terrible players, but they play against retards (VS), so it is fair.

I'm glad we agree. Now, if we can also agree that VS are equally bad, we can get you in your red/black uniform.

I imagine an AI MAX will be balanced around having both arms as AI weapons.

It'll end up the same as the biffers, you didn't really see people using 2 different arms as they weren't effective enough at one specific job to be useful.

I guess the same will be true of these MAXes Jack of all trades won't really be worth it in most cases

I imagine that the slow turn speed is something to make them require teamwork. It's basically a hard-coded way to ensure two MAXes covering each other are much more effective than two MAXes soloing. I can support that.
