The best HA equalizer yet.

There's really 2 separate instagib methods to the JH. You can do the quad shot, where you fire a primary followed by a secondary shot. Or, if you're close enough, one secondary shot will kill anyone if it hits. I think the instagib will still be around, but the time it takes to pull off will be reduced, thus making the JH user vulnerable to taking more damage.

They are making a mode-switch timer between the single and tri. Good.

Now, are they making a timer for how soon you can fire a tri shot after a tri shot?

Edit: I really see only the tri shot being a problem though. The quad shot is rarely used when I am against a JH.

There is already a rather lengthy delay after firing a tri shot before you can fire either mode again.

I don't use the JH and it needs a bit of a nerf.
but the spawn timer is essential to the game flow. if we could just instantly respawn there would be almost no consequenses to dieing

[infinite loop]

Ohhh now I get what the proposal is. Uhhhh, no. Who's to say which weapons kill you cause a spawn delay or not? That's hardly a level of balance that needs to be added to the game. If there really is a balance problem with the JH (which there isn't), then the devs will find a way to take care of it w/o a major game altering event.

The JH is not instagib. Instagib is 1 shot 1 kill.

[Spee]

Dont get into semantics. 1 click = 1 shot, unless is a weapon that fires so fast that you cant control it, even then, such a weapon(MCG/Cycler) can still be controlled to an extent.


JH 2ndary mode = 1 click, dead enemy.

...which is what exactly happens when you shoot someone with the secondary mode of a JH at point blank range.

If the JH have one,

How come MCG don't "Blend & Spray" soldiers at point blank range?

How come Lasher don't "Tear & Fry" a soldier at point blank range?

[Warborn]

I find it unusual that the Jackhammer even has a secondary fire which can in some cases instantly kill even a guy in Reinforced. What, exactly, is the reasoning behind that? What makes the regular Jackhammer shots so much worse than the MCG or Lasher that it requires instant-kill capabilities? I've never understood the logic behind this.

The NC are an instagib empire we could say.

Wait. So. If you are shot with the empire you explode into many meaty giblets?

[SilverLord]

Ugh...sorry for the troll post...I just hate the JH...I'm being immature. Sorry for that. No you don't explode but you explode when a JH tri shots you.

It may be semantics, but that doesn't make you any less wrong. JH secondary fires 3 individual shots all of which have to be aimed each with their own firing time. It is 1 click 1 kill, but not instagib. A Vanguard shell is instagib, a JH secondary is not. Each shot has its own damage. If all 3 barrels unloaded at the same time it would be instagib, but they don't, they unload in rapid succession. You can hit the first shot and miss the last 2. 1 click 1 kill is not instagib. I can kill someone with 1 click from any weapon, I just have to hold the button down.

Oh come on man, you know what we mean. Most of the time, a tri-shot is an instagib.

OMG! I just noticed your name Silverlord. Ive been killed by you far too many times
