I would of thought NC pubbies would have learned that the SAW is one of the best LMGs in the entire game by now. Do they really still think it sucks?

I'm mostly amused that of all the guns they choose to complain about, they manage to pick the ones that are basically the worst in class (GR-22, GD-7F, Blitz). I'd almost support then removing the GD-7F, if only to stop the thousands of lovely comparisons people make with it, declaring a gun horrible and bad becuase it doesn't have the DPS/ROF of that gun (that happens to also have recoil, range and SUPER LONG RELOAD issues that are always overlooked because that doesn't support that person's argument). I mean that AMC comparison is just painful. Yes it has all these things going for it, but it's not the highest DPS/ROF in the game on top of that so why even bother?!

It's hard to learn to use, you can't just wave your crosshairs at people while holding Mouse1 and get points, but have to actually aim and fire in short bursts and compensate for recoil. I think people get mad about the GD-7F because it has a very distinctive sound and because it tends to be used by light assaults which frustrate the poo poo out of pubbies who are completely incapable of looking up.

There's a few, isolated NC pubbies who think the SAW is bad. But for the most part, the GOD SAW has earned its reputation by now amongst the faction.

VS LMG reloads make me so angry. At least normal LMGs make sense, those ammo boxes are heavy. VS LMG reloads just feel like they forgot which pocket they left the battery or they start daydreaming halfway through reload.

I always thought the reload animation for VS guns should be like the bolt action animation, the battery pops out with a burst of steam, visibly cools down for a couple of seconds, then lights up again when you push it back in.

Which reminds me, it makes no sense for the NC or VS weapons to ever need to have a manual action or be loaded one round at a time. Like they could explain the slow fire rate by needing it to shoot that slow lest it overheat, but that wouldn't explain the bolting or pumping animations.

It stirs/shakes the nanites before use for a clean, even shot. Look at how insane the revolver reload animations are.

dangersandwich posted:I stopped playing about a year ago (around when the Harasser came out), and just reinstalled... what are some of the biggest changes? I can't remember if lattice was in before of after the harasser. Either way it's on all 4 continents now. One territory touching another does not mean it can be capped, it must be connected by a lattice link. Hossin! Fly Bulldogs on liberators can look forwards! (All butt guns on libs actually, always butt gun or get a butt gunner) Striker is total crap, no more unshakeable doom rockets Nearly total reworking of bases and maps. Too much to list, but a lot of the worst bases are now much better. Nobody fights at the crown like they used to for example. Direct spawn into squad members galaxies and sundies. No more meeting at warpgate, just redeploy. It will be listed in the upper left corner of your redeploy screen. Lots of improvements to how the game runs. Drop pods no longer have a ~250m range to strafe towards targets as they drop. They also do not hurt things they hit, just kills you. Also you can become a space cadet if they bounce. 30km is my record so far. The PPA and lancer remain untouched!

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good gaming mouse? I've got about $60 in Amazon credit, and it's about time I upgraded from the crappy $5 2-button + mousewheel thing that I've been using.

It can be wireless or wired (though the one included is not really an option it's super thick, I use a $2 retractable spool one since it's so light there is no resistance to it dragging). Has enough buttons to bind what I want, can toggle my dpi how I like, and the software while ugly as sin is very functional for configuring and saving whatever you like.

I have a G500 as well, it's pretty nice. I've never used anything but it and lovely two-buttons-and-a-wheel mice, so I don't know how it compares to the other fancy bullshit on the market, but it feels good, has adjustable weight which is nice, the scroll wheel is decent, the adjustable DPI setting is nice, and it has enough buttons to be handy without having a loving numberpad on the side. The Logitech Gaming Software is shite, but you can make it work with SetPoint still, and it might still come with SetPoint on the disk.

My favorite part of the revolver animations is that if they just used an old fashioned single cylinder the long reload would be as fast as the current short reload. The split cylinder design adds an extra step with no actual benefit.

Aside from looking hellaciously cool? There are a thousand other FPSes with a thousand identical "push mag into slot and yank a knob somewhere" animations. I'm fighting nanite zombies in space, I want my weapons to FEEL like I'm fighting nanite zombies in space. Say what you will about the sad state of VS guns, but at least they're distinct from every other shooter in existence, even if they're not distinct from themselves.

EDIT: Also I use a Razer DeathAdder because it's the only thing that matches the form-factor of an Intellimouse Explorer 3.0. I wish it had more side buttons but every mouse I've tried with more than that (including the Logitech mice) has really lovely side buttons, so I deal with it.

The G5 is such a wonderful mouse though my nine year old G5 (a friend has gone through 3 razer mice since then  ) is starting to have scroll wheel problems as well. I only wish I had bought a second one since the markup is gigantic. I'll pick up a G500 next.
