VS underestimate there MA

[Heavygain]

Im all TR here and I like my MA for the most part but most VS just dont use their MA right. For instance, the pulsar is great in almost all situations. Its essentially a gauss but has 2 great advantages. A. uses the same rounds for ap as AI. B. larger clip and gnear the same damage. If you use this gun right it can be unbelieveably effective. I dont see many of the VS carrying them around but whenever i manage to get one i always at least get 4 kills before i die in almost all situations.
Thoughts? Disagreements? Flames? Agreements?

It looks like a dildo. You must be gay for liking it.



Same goes for beamer.

The difference is, If anyone take my post seriously, they get to be slapped.



I troll only in jest.

That was totally uncalled for Spee, you could have just said you disagree with what he said.

you forgot your /sarcasm tags noob.

But yeah, the Pulsar is ok, but the damage dropoff at range kills it for me. The AI/AP switch can come in handy every once and a while though.

I've started carrying it as a back-up rifle when I snipe from base walls, to help kill those guys that get up close to the wall. It's also not bad for defending against people that charge my position when I'm sniping from a hillside. A few times I've assaulted towers with it with nice results. It's severely out-classed by MCG spray, but I've managed to nail some JH surgiles. I've chased off a few light vehicles too from tower roof-tops using AP mode. They get pissed with the endless nickle-and-diming.

I would like to try an all-pulsar squad for taking on maxes/tanks/reavers. 10 guys all nickle-and-diming can add up to some dollar bills. Throw a few advanced medics and thumpers in there and you might have some real versatility.

Never once have used a Pulsar.

The pulsar is great for medium range, 5 shots till the Cone expands and the CoF isnt as big as you think, In back door defending go all the way to the back and you will be ready for anything. Reloading time is very fast.

Heres the reason why most VS don't use Pulsar:

Damage degradation is just too steep at range, and at closer range you'd rather have a HA anyways.

If they changed it to be like this, for instance:

Then you'd see plenty of people using it.

The Pulsar is not nearly as effective as the Gauss. You can't compare them like that. Now I'm not saying buff the Pulsar, it is good for what it needs to do, which is do some damage at medium range, but it just isn't as effective as the Gauss or Cycler. Sure, its big advantage is that you can easily switch between normal and AP rounds...but those AP rounds can't deliver a good amount of damage to armored targets. Indoors, you might as well be using a beamer, Pulsar's specialty isn't indoor battles, that's for sure.

[dscytherulez]

Pulsar is an ok range weapon, because it can do ok damage vs both people and maxes. Sucks indoors though.

[UncleDynamite]

Yeah, the Pulsar's ability to switch from AI to AP would be great if the AP rounds were actually effective. I've messed around with the Pulsar, and I found that it's actually a pretty good weapon. But it does, unfortunately, pale in comparison to the Gauss and Cycler.

You guys have it backwards, pulsar is only good in medium-close range, where it is excellent in my opinion.
