Thats all!

I tend to agree. I've got so many kills with the Cycler using this method that it's not funny, and if I'm not mistaken, the cycler is the least accurate of all MA weapons. Gauss and Pulsar users can do some serious damage now that damage degredation is down the tubes.

I'm in definite agreement over adding some rifle-style weapons. Big shot, good, slow speed, but unscoped. I seriously would use those over the MA SMG-style guns any day, just because my personal skills are akin to that instead of the shoot 'em ups.

I think 4 shots to kill a PShielded rexo sounds fair. And 3 shots to kill an unpshielded rexo, as well. The guns should have a 1-second cycle time (so fire once every second) for balance against the heavy-hitting shot. TTK is then 2-3 seconds (Agiles obviously only take 2 shots, but if they have Pshield, they can take 3).

I'd like to seem them have an instantaneous or near-instantaneous travel time.

stop being a whiner and use the normal MA.

If they can implement effective rifles without screwing sniping over, then I'm all for it. But I'm not for cert-purchased arbitrary accuracy bonuses.

I figure new weapons are always a good thing.

Heck ya, i'd go for some new guns just for the hell of it, as long as they suit the empires and are balanced.

Anyways, on with the original topic of the acuracy implant, I'd have to say no. The last thing we need, IMO, is everyone and their brother with MA holding eachother off at great distances because no one can leave cover long enough to do anything useful.

I spose, but more than just rifles, gimme another pistol dammit!

And while ur at it, another holster slot, and an award that gives me 100 more stamina!!

I would like having a semi-auto rifle (empire specific maybe). small clip, powerful shots, could help make the game more tactical. its hard to play planetside a little strategically when everyone is using automatic weapons, all the time.

btw atlas great sig.

SImple yet gets the point across

I don't think the ability to aim is enough of an integral part of Planetside for this ability to really mean anything.

last time i checked this was a futuristic game and seeing how even today semi auto rifles are obsolete on the battlefield makes me wonder why anyone would want a bolt action or semi auto rifle. go play a WW2 game if you want that.


anyway the whole issue about breathing and trigger squeeze are non exsistent in PS. i have yet to see the crosshairs move with my breathing or noticed a difference no matte rhow hard i click my mouse. until PS implements actual breathing like in Call of Duty and other FPS games and has support for a controller with triggers like xbox then it doesnt matter does it?

And besides, who wants to play PS with anything but a mouse and keyboard.
Last time i checked, there is no such thing as a pressure sensoring mouse.
