Medium build appreciation thread

Post » Tue Aug 10, 2010 10:09 am

Having a thread dedicated to how "awesome" heavies are (created by heavy players) and then going to other threads and touting what the people participating in them don't want to hear reminds me of when a child isn't getting it's way in the grocery store. It just makes me walk up, smack it and tell it to keep that $h!t where it belongs.

Everyone participating in these threads is treating them like a big joke, i personally got some laughs out of WPRank's comments in this thread. If you are actually taking these threads that seriously before you have played the game at all, you might need to calm down a bit.

The only reason I'm considering playing a Heavy over a Medium is because I'm concerned the pump action shotgun (which isn't a one shot kill) won't be able to outdamage an automatic weapon at point blank range, yes I know that's a lame reason.

Maybe I'll make a Medium AR/SR Soldier though, Lights are probably going to be too flimsy for me to be drawn to them even with their high speed and more accessable SMART.

Light Rifle/Shotgun FTW

In the reactor video, it looks like the guy was taking out medium players in 2-3 shots at a decent range, and then finish downed people off in another shot.

Even if the the shotgun takes just as long to kill someone at close range as the AR, being able to duck for cover inbetween shots is useful in CQC.

Edit: I just noticed that at the end of the clip, when they successfully manage to destroy the reactor, the computer says "Meltdown imminent, have a nice day" :foodndrink:

*Wondering just how deadly a damage buffed Shotgun would be*

I also noticed that Teh Resistance was threatening to destroy the entire Ark if they didn't get what they wanted. Nucking futs much? :confused:

Funny how they had one first since they have to make themselves feel better. :spotted owl:

It's like that dude on steroids, sure he may be huge, and sure he may threaten everyone thats smaller than him, but we all know it's because he has a tiny dike :D

Where ya'll Mediums at? Smh no support.

Well I'll be sure to help my MotR friends before those damn heavies : :foodndrink:

Looking forward to seeing how a medium plays.

But I'm probably going to switch over to a Light as soon as I can. The SMART system intrigues me, so I must learn all of its nuances. :liplick:

Regular Shotgun < Automatic Heavy Shotgun. I'm excited to see Light/Heavy squads work together as Tanker and Flanker. But I think the versatility of the medium will surprise everyone.

I REALLY hope I don't get in a lobby where JessaWraith is on the other team.

The resistance is trying to get off the ark to look for dry land. The founders are trying to prevent that because it would require investing money into building transportation, fueling the ships, and then stocking them with rations, not to mention losing skilled workers.

I assume they are blowing up the reactor to make life on the Ark impossible, so the only remaining option is to go looking for land. As with the US founding fathers, the resistance will risk even their lives to be free of oppression. "Give me liberty, or give me death."

You probably see nothing and then suddenly BOOM death. (In Wraith's case probably without the BOOM )

I don't mind that being a bit of both worlds and being balanced. If I played against Wraith we'd probrably be stuck fighting each other 1v1 in all the back alleys and side corridors. I'd have to say it'd one heck of a good fight and I'd have tons of fun. :poke: :gun:
