Lightbulb Just something id like to see changed.


After watching pheonix users in action, it occured to me that something that would considerably add to in-game tactics would be to swap the pheonix to common pool special assault or AV and give NC another AV weapon. Im thinking an anti-tank rifle with a close range, extremely damaging secondary. The pheonix is nowhere near the lancer/striker in killing power, but it enables an infantryman to fire from cover and provides supressive fire from extreme range. I figure that there is no way that this could hurt the game. Since the nc would still have their baby(plus the other gun) and VS/TR troopers would gain the advantage of indirect fire. Whaddya think?

You mean a lancer come decimator? No...way....

As for the indirect capabilities of the pheonix.... well it has its ups and its downs, trick is to exploit its downs.

have you ever tried killing a MAX at short range (outdoors) with a pheonix? its almost impossible. Striker is a much better medium to short range AV weapon, and the pheonix is just uber at long range. the damage is at a nice pattern with the rest of AV, you still have to reload after every shot. its fine.

I've looted pheonixes before, it's not quite as hard as you're making it to kill things close range. It's pretty much a decimator you have to reload after every shot for (which isn't really a bad thing). I'm a big AV fan, and, by far, the Pheonix is the best at what it does.

it SUCKS at AA however. But taking out soldiers/land vehicles is relitivly ok. Kinda wish there is the option to drive the missle with the keypad as a side to using the mouse.
