Multiplayer: What I Feel Needs to be Done

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:18 am

Here's a list I compiled of things I think need to be changed about the Multiplayer. Please be polite in your response.

1. Grenades need to be nerfed.
-BADLY. In Crash Site, all that happens is people chuck grenades from across the map, and if you try to go into Armor Mode to protect yourself, it doesn't help you. I mean, I've done this myself and it's ridiculous when I can just throw a grenade in a random (or not random) direction and get a kill.

2. Gauss (Sniper) needs to be buffed.
-I feel that these two need to be buffed a bit. Mainly because, well, the Gauss is well, A GAUSS. In real life, if you got shot with it, you'd explode into a bloody mess. Now I'm not saying it should be a 1-hit kill all the time, but at least a 1-hit kill to the chest.

3. Majestic needs to be buffed.
-I say this because it takes too long to kill people for a gun that should otherwise not have this problem. I mean, it's my favorite gun in the game, but it takes two headshots to kill someone. I don't think I need to explain it any further. Also, I'd like to see an Assault Scope on it like in the Campaign, but that's not as important as its damage issue.

4. Jackal needs to be nerfed.
-Again, BADLY. The thing is more effective than the Marshall, which really doesn't make sense. Perhaps just tone down the fire rate a tad, because it's just a spray of bullets everywhere, and you don't even need to aim.

Again, please be polite. I'm not trying to pick fights here.

I agree with all of these except for 3. because it is a pistol, and there should never be a situation in this game where a pistol is a one hit kill.

Pistols should be small weapons, not bad weapons. I think the Majestic is fine if you land all your shots, although it should be 1 shot to the head regardless of armor.

Yes, but a one hit kill to the head with the majestic would be extremely overpowered. And that means it would most likely be a 2 hit kill to the chest. Then everyone would run around with it, and it would ruin the multiplayer, at least for me.

I don't think so. It has iron sights, and both a slow RoF and reload, and only a 6 round mag. I think a lot of people would try to use it, but it would have a very high skill requirement. It still wouldn't be nearly as effective as the DSG-1 with Reflex, or any automatic weapon for that matter without tons of practice.

Besides, it IS a magnum...

Ok, your starting to poke holes in my logic, but you at least have to agree that a 1 hit kill to the head while the enemy has armor on is overpowered.

I don't see why we couldn't have an armor-piercing pistol. It's pretty simple, just don't armor and strafe around them. Just make it so it does the same damage regardless of armor, like the DSG-1. If it worked identical, it would be a slower, iron-sighted DSG-1 with a smaller mag. Would that be so bad?

Curiously, I have never ran into anyone else with a reflex on their sniper. Maybe people will one day realize it's vastly superior to the Grendel at mid-range...

However, I concede that such a power boost should mean increased recoil and slightly decreased fire rate. Which is good because it helps distinguish it further from the Hammer.

Or choose better host and these problems would be less noticeable.

None of what I have listed have anything to do with hosting or connections.

So far, I don't think I've seen a single post that supports the grenade buff.

While a Gauss rifle would be 1-shot to the body in reality, it would be game breaking if it did. The same way the AWP is despised in Counterstrike, it would be the new n00b cannon. We would also see Crysis 2 inherit the same quickscoping complaints that plague CoD. Especially with a reflex on it. As it is, it's already a 1 shot kill on anyone below full health, and the energy drain makes that follow up even easier. Of course, you could always get a headshot and not have to use a second shot...

Grenade Buff or Grenade Nerf? I feel it needs to be nerfed.

And I understand there's a big difference between game and reality, but it's less effective than the DSG because of its slower fire rate. A DSG can two-shot body shot or one-shot headshot just like the Gauss, but is has a much higher fire rate. Also, the Gauss is unlocked at a much higher level. I mean, I just got done playing a Classic game, and the Majestic was more effective than the Gauss. Also, I have about 15 headshots with the Gauss and I've had it for less than a day, so...

I said I don't think I've seen anyone support the new buff. Everyone including me wants to see it nerfed.

And perhaps if the Gauss fired significantly slower, but only body-shotted unarmored targets? But that would defy the concept of an anti-material rifle...

It can't be 1-shot to the body without breaking the game, but otherwise it's less effective. Quite a predicament.

It still works well if you consistently get headshots. It's also a wonder against the Ceph Gunship.
