People don't understand

Lately I've been hearing a lot about , the TR MAX nerf, how the pheonix needs two clips, how the most of the Vanu's weapons suck (and that they need to be more powerfull), and stuff like that. A lot of peolpe are complaining becouse their empire is weak in some way. Ex. 1 The TR MAX being too powerfull. Any one could run behind the dam thing and unload on it. With the TR's machine gun style of combat, it takes longer to kill an oponent and therefore they could counter attack. Ex. 2 The pheonix needs two clips. The New Conglomerate weaponary focus' on more power-per-punch, sacrificing a high rate of fire. Ex. 3 The Vanu weapons suck. I've heard a LOT of people saying the Vanu weapons need imporovements, but they don't say anything about nerfing their vehicles. The MAG-Rider and Thresher could be the best vehicles in the game if used correctly. I can visualize a couple squads of MAG-Riders and Threshers circle strafing a enemy squad, totally anhialating them. People need to become more aware of each empire's strong points, and learn how to excel in those areas. Basically... Quitcherbitchin.

Damn, I should have tried that when they are locked down at the top of the stairs in a tower...oh wait, I cant!

Sorry, I know what you mean and overall I think everyone agrees with you, but balance is always an issue. The developers don't make the game in 7 days and declare it to be perfect, rather they playtest, run it through a beta, and then even when it has hit the shelves they have to balance it (I expect even more when they start introducing new weapons and vehicles they haven't had a chance to test as much). People will complain for the stupidest reasons, give people a chance and they will complain the bolt driver isnt a good counter to the jackhammer in a room, but there are some legitimate complaints out there, and most of the ones that come up a lot are the ones that really could use some changes.

I agree with u guys-this game isnt about who has the most powerful guns or vehicles-its about who has enough skill to utilize these things to their full abilities
