» Sat Mar 02, 2013 9:10 am What my point is the Scar/Fy71 on default are very powerful, as we all know the Grendel is, but the scar can do something the Grendel cannot, equip rapid fire, Rapid fire makes the scar not only lethal, but a fully auto Grendel. As we all recall a fully auto Grendel feels like a Crysis 2 Fy71. Which 97% of everyone in the community knew was Over Powered.
What i dont understand is the Grendel requires discipline and aim, on top of that, its not a run and gun weapon, if you plan to run around with the grendel, your a dead man, while the scar and Fy71 both can. Their damage is way to similar, I'm going to say this now, i dont, in any way, endorse a nerf to the Scar or Fy71. However, as of now i feel that the Grendel is a very unattractive weapon; since launch, ive only seen 4 people use it, yet 80% of the populous runs around with a scar.
In Crysis 2 the Grendel had penetration power, like the Gauss, its seems non-existent in C3, on top of that, the maps in C3 all appropriately accept very close range or long range weapons, once again blurring the line of a use for a grendel. It pains me to see one of my favorite weapon be out matched by easy weapons, only a select few even know how to excel with the Battle rifle.
The question i have for you Crytek is, "Why would i pick a Grendel over a Scar or Fy71?" To enjoy the way it sounds? Cryteam, you need to figure out a balancing act to accommodate and make other weapons more attractive, the whole point of the scar is to be a weapon that does not excel in any situation, have you played your game lately, the only thing a scar loses to is a jackal.
