common sense about the JH

kidriot · 2003-06-16, 09:31 PM

finally, someone throws in common sense over the whining of the jackhammer

http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/p...ML/001101.html

to sum it up: there was hardly any bitching about the jackhammer before the DC and Pounder fixes.

Prowler · 2003-06-16, 10:50 PM

Whoa, you got some skills.

Diviant · 2003-06-16, 10:52 PM

He uses the Jackhammer. That's how.

NoSurrender · 2003-06-16, 10:52 PM

No... He got those kills from the JH

. Sike.. Anyway the reason why people cry nerf the JH is because people cryed about the TR maxes and now they.. kinda suck. Although you my not want to say it.. but you have to admit the JH is overpowered to some degree, compared to other Heavy Assault weapons. I don't think they should nerf it, I just think they should bring the other Heavy Assault Weapons (Chain Gun) up to par.

Diviant · 2003-06-16, 10:56 PM

It sucks either way. If they beef up other weapons, we would end up with every weapon getting one-shot-kills. If we nerf everything, we run around will pea shooters that couldn't break a wet napkin.

I rather like killing two people who have JH's with my sweeper in Agile armor.

Surge and agile plus the sweeper make a combo.

Stimulate · 2003-06-16, 11:01 PM

I don't think people remembered when the JH was a POS in beta also.

How do you stay alive long enough without medical?

Seer · 2003-06-17, 01:58 AM

TR maxs do not 'kinda suck' at all. That's simply an ignorant statement.

The whiners on the official boards will always have something to complain about, nothing new there. I played for about 5 hours tonight and was killed by the jackhammer maybe three times. No big deal.

"How do you stay alive long enough without medical"

having to pause to repair armor takes long enough. when I had medical the majority of my deaths were when I was repairing health.

I carry 3 medikits which is usually enough. if I run out I scavange. I've gotten good enough to where I don't have to stop and right click backpacks because the inventory screen will stay with you a few feet away from the backpack. so if you're quick you can right click medikits into your inventory while still moving. then there's the added benefit of the inventory erasing itself when u get too far from the backpack. which helps me keep my fingers where I need em to react.

anyway, this thread was derailed.

the entire point was that you didn't hear this much bitching about JH before the DC and Pounder were adjusted. now it's ALL you read on msg boards.
