MA over HA

Heavygain · 2004-02-12, 10:25 PM

Just curious, do any of you take MA over HA in all situations? if you do state your reason y you do. I personally cant decide, the MCG is awesome up close but has just lost its glow with me, The cycler seems awesome at medium ranges but in a close range-flank fight it doesnt do as good as i would hope, but then again i havent really tried to hard to adapt to it.

Moving on to the main topic, i use guass (MA) over the jackhammer (HA) all the time.

Get rexo, pack both for circumstances you cant forsee.

Ex: We're doing some indoor fighting. Get in my grunt loadout (HA/MA) run around with lasher. See no one is fighitng indoors. Go up top, 10 vanguards are all rolling around, shooting at mosquitos, who are shooting back. Chip in my 2 cents, and start shooting them with AP pulsar rounds, which probably didnt do anything, damn damage degredation.

I certed HA early in the game, and dropped it early. Just couldn't get those discoballs to be effective :P

I usually use a Sweeper/Pulsar combo indoors now.
Or Sweeper/Lancer, or Pulsar/Lancer for Max tight situations.

And I must say, I prefer the other teams MA over the pulsar, even though I love the Pulsar too.

I killed a NC with the Pulsar, and then stole his Gauss. Kept using the Pulsar till the ammo was out (cus I only had 8 rounds with the Gauss heh :P). Then took out the Gauss, and I believe that with all eight rounds hit one NC guy, and he died. I took his gauss, didn't have time to take spare ammo, because of nearby enemies. And shoot 2 other NC with it (Crouch, Semi-Snipe style).

Semi-Sniping with the Pulsar isn't effective at medium and highr range, while it is with the gauss, and even more so with the Cycler I think...

The AV mode on the Pulsar is rather nice when you have to deal with Spitfires and the like.

Punisher all the way.

I like my Cycler but I love the MCG too (addicted to machine gun fire) but it costs to much so I'll take my DC MAX. costs less twice the sound. (I'm in heaven)

Gauss - best MA weapon in game.

Today I owned two "I WIN"* TR guys in a row in that Storm on Solsar at Aton.

* I win = MCG

I just recently certed HA, I felt like after the rexo buff the sweeper was holding me back from full on pwnage.

I mainly use MCGs from my locker, awsome weapon.

UncleDynamite · 2004-02-13, 01:00 AM

Being TR (and thus blessed with the Cycler), I use MA over the MCG all the time. It's so adaptable that I can use it in any situation. Yes, any HA will have an edge over me, but I found that that's a tradeoff I'm willing to take (and can manage).

I just use the rocklet.

GreyFlcn · 2004-02-13, 01:15 AM

Lasher, yeh.

Pulsar? Almost never.
