No, I did not just play 2 minutes and come to this conclusion.
No, I did not just get one-shotted by a Scar after unloading a clip and come to this conclusion.
No, I did not get screwed over by the constant connection issues and come to this conclusion.
All the repetitive bugs and issues that everyone is complaining about in the Multiplayer I've dealt with with great patience. My patience broke when I reached rank 39 and unlocked the Electromagnetic Material Rifle. Sounds awesome right? Well it is awesome except for the fact that IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS.
I'm so tired of all these first-person shooters making a collection of great looking weapons only to have that one is worth really using. Half the problem is probably from connection issues but here's my point.
The thing shoots like a **** tank but that's all it has to show because it still takes 2-3 hits just to kill someone. I've run up behind someone who was idle who had no armor on to find that a shot straight through his chest does nothing. Don't come in here trolling saying that "Oh you probably svck at sniping!" or "I killed someone in one hit you just svck!" because I've done my time with this game and know how to play.
I've sniped in almost all FPS's, CoD, Halo, Unreal, Bioshock, Fear, Quake, etc. Even in this game I use the first sniper a lot. But that's meant to be a 2 hit kill sniper. I don't believe the M20 14 Gauss should be because if it is meant to be a 2 hit sniper might as well make that **** a rank 1 unlock as well. While you're at it make every **** gun rank one and have everyone just play without ranks because it's pointless to work towards something as useless as a paperweight.
You know what, **** that. Just take all the guns away, make one category called "This is all you need" and put the Scar under it because I've seen the Scar do everything better than any gun in-game. It one-shots people and snipes people better than anything in game making the auto-shotgun, pump shotgun, snipers, grendel, scarab, pistols, heavy weapons, EVERYTHING obsolete.
I know I won't get my $60 back and I know that this game hasn't even been out for a week but **** christ what a waste. Even when they do release a patch I highly doubt they will fix it.
The point of my rant is that ranking up for the new weapons is pointless. They're obsolete. Worthless. Paperweights. If you're playing to unlock them, don't. They'd be fun if they actually did anything other than look pretty.
So people of Crytek, Hear me out. FIX YOUR GOD DAMN WEAPONS! IF IT'S RANK 39 IT SHOULD BE WORTH RANKING UP FOR!
