People are saying that judging by the scren shots it won't be a porblem, do you really think they're gonna reveal the buildings this early? The Jackhammer will be a problem in these situations. Close quarter's combat is the JH's backyard. But yeah the pounder will rock, I feel sorry for the VS.

Yea, but the NC have to get on top of you to get that overpowering effect. At distance the JH isn't all that hot.

And it's pretty hard to get on top of people down a hall when it's getting lash or pounder spammed.

I personally think things will be fairly even, with VS possibly having a slight disadvantage - depending on how tight the urban layout is.

stealth is going 2 get med assult but not for a while*hes my stealth char.* my courpse char is going 2 get ha as soon as possible. ive had it before and the jackhammer is okay... but its not as good as the mcg. with its 100 ammo magizne and 1 of the highest RoF in the game, it is the best heavy assult gun at med range. the jackhammer is good at pointblank. the lasher is probally the ha god-like wepon becuse its verstile at almost any range and can hit ppl behind cover.

Never had the Jackhammer, never will with this character.

The Gauss is a very good weapon both medium range and close range. The trick is to use surge and get behind them and just hold down the trigger. (I know, it is the tactic with all weapons at close range)

Now..... if only my trusty pheonix would get buffed...

Ah, yes, Infiltration IS a good reason NOt to get Medium Assault. I had forgotten about that. I personally love using the JH, and I'm not NC. I pick it up whenever I can. I don't like using the MCG, simply because I'm not usually out in the open much, and if I am, I am carrying my Lancer, and I use that.

I hope that the HA weapons are less usefull in the caverns, personally.

I think that all the cover, and ledges and stuff will give peeps a reason to carry pulsar, guass, cycler, ect.

Of course, it could just be like it is now...insta death.....
