I dropped ha on my NC guy. Certed Van and never looked back. Now Im dropping MA for CE (Will be a cloaker/adv hack/ce) and I still have my van cert for when we need the firepower. I actually like the power of the JH (yeah, I did the surgile thing too). I didn't do the ambush triple shot thing though (I personally think it's cheap). I don't miss it all that much. I just need to level up for two more certs to get my MA back

Sweeper and Gauss own. The punisher is very powerful in the right situations as well.
As far as MA goes across all teh empires, each one has its benefits. The gauss owns the open field. If they are coming at you from more then 100 meters, they are as good as dead. The cycler is the base assault weapon. The shear number of rounds this thing packs and can toss out in a instant cannot be beat in the short range fight. The pulsar is someplace up there with the gauss as far as damage goes, but it has the COF bloom of the cycler. It is an interesting beast, designed to perform at range, but hindered by its cone of fire. The sweeper is the Elmer Fudd gun of the planetside universe. I have a macro that says "Shhhh...I'm hunting wabbits." A greatly underused weapon, which thankfully, hasn't lead to the request for nerfing on the OF's. I think it is more powerful then the JH actually, for the shear fact that you can begin shreading your target at a greater distance. The pellet spread is half that of the jackhammer. The only thing you have to remember is to reload after every encounter. The punisher is the most underrated weapon in the game. One-on-one or one-on-two, you will win if you get the drop on them. A shot of plasma then the 9mm will get you victory. The COF isn't to horrible as long as your not taking damage and you are firing single shots. Packing an extra crate of jammers will take care of those pesky deployables. Usually a couple of shots from the frag will drive off a MAX that decided to come and get you too.

The Gauss got a huge boost with the new Rexo buff. It may very well be better than the Cycler now. Dont discount the Pulsar tho. The Pulsar is the best MA in the 30-50m range and especially now that they can alt fire then switch immediatly on Rexos. It is best used when the enemy cannot Surge rush you (kind of hard to get a feel for the optimal Pulsar distance but it is there believe me) 40m-65m or so the Cycler is still ausome but after that its Gauss all the way.
Much better than the Punisher is the Thumper/HA combo. At about 40-50m when 2 open field enemies spot each other, the one w/out the Thumper is a dead man. Drop 2 or 3 plasmas then surge in with HA. It isnt even a contest. You can take on groups of 2 and 3 this way and regularly emerge victorious. Of course this requires Rexo, HA, and SA but if you spent this many points on Combat certs you are a killing machine anyways |

The MCG isnt suppression fire. It really serves very poorly in that reguard especially when there are much better choices for suppression. What the MCG does allow that is suppression-like, is the ability to start firing even before you turn the corner. Also after you kill one trooper in an enclosed space you can move to the next one and dont have to let up on your trigger

Spamming the tower spawn stairway is a tactic that we (TR werner) use quite often. Works like a charm, loads of lead flying down those stairs then and cutting most down. |

Tried HA, didn't like it. Once you get the feal for the gauss, its a real beast, but the pulsar is great for those mixed infantry/MAX encounters. When I don't have to wory about weapons lock too much though, you'll have to pry my thumper from my cold dead hands.
The NC would benifit from fewer JH users. Maybe they'll pick up unimax and tear those reavers a new one? I always preffered the Scattercannon's versital choaks anyways.
