Most underutilized/overutilized weapons in your opinion. - Page 2

Overused:
Snipers. I hate them. I hate snipers. I hate the good ones and the bad ones. Okay, maybe I don't really hate them, because I farm them in my Flash. But, consarn it! They keep on with their 1HK headshots and it is very unfun. Also keeping in mind that those snipers I farm in my Flash are REALLY doing jack squat for their Empire. They'd be better off as an engineer or medic.
Sundies that do anything but deploy as AMS. A good bangbus can have a real ball of a time, y'know? Only takes 3 guys.
Any of the 750+ RPM weapons seem overused. Yes, I most commonly die to them, but I also see a lot of allies carrying them in situations where they would be better off using a longer-ranged weapon.
NC faction entirely.

Underused:
AV 'Nades. I think that they are sticky or something. Throwing one of these along with a rocket in the back of an MBT will hurt, a Lightning it will kill, and its cheaper than C4. Also don't lose much compared to frag nades, but even I don't have these 'nades.
Vanu faction entirely.

Underused: Scout Rifles, Battle Rifles, Basilisks, Semi-Auto sniper rifles, faction-specific pistols

Overused: Shotguns! Especially pump actions, Bolt-action sniper rifles, the high-mag SMG (it is not better than the lower mag SMG :P ), Any NS weapon besides the NS-11a and the new pistols.

underused:
that proximity-gun-thingy for the infiltrator that doesn't seem to do anything.
concussion grenades. they are actually really useful, i dont have em, but when (rarely) a group of us are concussed, we're fucked.
sunderers that dont have AMSs.
TR MAX default anti vehicle gun?
smoke grenades. they actually work. earlier today people were using smoke to cover up our approach into the base, so the enemy didn't know where we were coming from.
knife?
galaxies....

overused:
SHOTGUNS.
SMGs. they piss me off so much.
lock-on launchers.
hellfire missles.
hacksaws, scattercannons
camo

Underused
1. Shield defuser sundies. (Ive seen one video) they should couple it with AMS ability.

2. AV Maxes, Last night was the first time Ive seen three NC maxes on a building all Of them were av maxes.

3. Beamer, VS weapon. My office rubber bands do more damage.

Over used
1. C4, but its do awesome, and can change the tide of battle if placed on the right sundy.

2. That damn NC sniper rifle, I dont even know what its called.

3. Rocket launchers.... but hey how else you gonna stop that convoy of vehicles coming at you.

4. Tank mines.... left at the spawn point can really piss a player off.

You mean the ones with the added armor? I think I am one of only FIVE to TEN people on Waterson, across all factions, that actually uses it. I can't tell you how many times it's saved mine and my squad's life.

If you are looking for a battle bus, AKA Jihod bus, daChronic on Mattherson probably has the best one. He has it kitted with GSD, Blockade, and dual bulldogs. Me and him hookup with a few other TE members and we go crash the bottom of bio labs and stuff with it. It's sooo fun.
