The NC Jackhammer. The last straw.

[TeraHertz]

Today I was defending a CC when an NC literaly burst through the door, almost flying throught the air DIRECTLY towards my crouched postion which was offset from the door. The speed at which the enemy burst though appeared to cause lag on my pc. With ONE SINGLE SHOT I was killed, before the enemy even touched the ground. I am one step away from Heavy armour. I didn't even get off a round due to the lag. The fact that the NC appeared to know my exact position is a matter I will deal with below, but my biggest grievance is the single shot from the shotgun. What the f***. ONE shot? No other empire has anything like it. The NC have better armour, the best close range anti infantry weapons (since most infantry engagements are inside structures, a bit of an advantage dont you think), and the best tanks - so they have the best anti armour too.

Its been suggested that the NC are the dev's pets, and I'm reluctantly begining to belive it.
(http://planetside.station.sony.com/screenshots.jsp all the first offical screen shots depict heroic acts of the NC....odd)

Fix the god damn shotguns please. At least reduce their effective range. Lancer vs Jackhammer, jackhammer wins - the lancer shots are easy to dodge and the jackhammer shots travel far.




My OTHER gripe is this. While hacking the CC there were massive expolsions of multiple boombers going on around me right next door. I wondered what the hell was going on. The explosions were right on me. I thought nothing of it and continued hacking.
When the NC burst though and killed me with a snigle shot it struck me. HE didnt burst though the door and turn to hit me, he burst through the door directly towards me, at an angle from the door. He KNEW where I was. I surmise that the boomber explosions were an attempt to kill me through the wall. How or why else would anyone set off explosions dead on me from another room when I was in two different positons. My point? Wall hacks seem to be about, and im not the kind of person who cries cheat just because I get shot up.
