Last night me and CommDonald were defending the spawn room after we'd hacked Xelas on Amerish. After a bunch of easy kills I decided to loot a beamer off one of them and use it for the humiliation factor. After getting 3 kills with the beamer (granted, my partner in crime was using a cycler and doing some of the work too) I got accused of cheating. That made my day.

If i ever saw on deathspam that i got killed by a beamer... i would probably log from embrassment.

i looted a beamer today on my friends account and got 2 cloakers and 1 reinforced with it before i died

I've always thought the beamer was a hip looking pistol, I can't wait until it can compete with the repeater so I can fill my locker with em.

i killed someone with a beamer once.

i got it off some Vanu i ran over with my prowler.

guy i killed with it was an nc. he was trying to kill me with a jackhammer at 50m /shrug

Anyway.

Not sure i totally understand the point of upping the RoF on the MCG, only to increase the spin down time. I will say the MCG definitely takes a lot more finess to master than the Jackhammer. I'd be happy if they left the Jackhammer the way it was. And, tightened up the CoF on the MCG a bit. But, thats me.

Striker. Abandoned it long ago in favor of Special Assult. The utility of that Cert far out weighs any advanatge you had with the Striker. Iam mostly indifferent about the changes to it. I do hope that the ammo crate is increased to 5 per box though.

I really do like the changes to the Tanks. Have always been a tank driver. Giving them more armor while keeping the damage to AV weapons relatively unchanged is a big plus. Fear the Tanks.

I think when I wake up tomorrow I'll have a "how to use the gauss" post.

Indecisive · 2003-10-02, 09:04 AM

COME ON. THREE shots to kill a reinforced? THREE? I mean, WTF is that? It is so amazingly good in close quarters and indoors, and where does most of the action take place? (Surprise surprise!) Indoors!

Negative,
sorry

At point blank it 2.

Gauss pwns, I would never trade it for a Cycler. Takes alot of practice to get used too, but it is worth it once you can control the CoF.

Bismarck · 2003-10-02, 11:11 PM

I want my cycler vs. your gauss close quarters and see who wins

.

I remember that tiem I owned smuag here liek 5 times before he realised the gauss was teh suck.

Of course I did have a MCG and it was all inside close quarters but that doesnt matter :P
Not ot mention I had the huge advantage of having an interlink facility link so i could monitor his every move

Yeah but don't forget I pwn you on the open field

The gauss is a decent close combat weapon if you are alert, and the fight is very close range. Otherwise the COF will render you impotent and at the mercy of your opponent. At medium to long range, its damage and accuracy are formidable in the hands of a skilled user.
