Why Are The Pistols So Crap? : Crysis

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:18 am

Seriously they are so crap, I'd rather throw a rock at the opponent because it would clearly do more damage than the **** house pea shooters included in the game.(Multiplayer)

I'm not ****, it's just that whenever sniping I resort to the pistol and >>>>NEVER WIN<<<<.

It's mostly due to lag/hit detection. When half your bullets disappear into black holes, already weak guns become unusable.

On the rare occasion I get host, pistols become death machines. The sad part is that when I get host, other people actually have 4 bars too. I s*** you not. I've actually seen non-hosts get full-bars.

...too bad the game's wonderful host-selection only gives me host once every 30 games...

I think the M12 and AY69 are good, not as good as Primary which they shouldn't be as their Secondary's i.e. last resort weapons.

I have got triple kills with a M12 with silencer. I have tested the Hammer and Majestic but I like weapons with high rates of fire.

hipfire spread with the AY69 is imho second to that of the X-43 Mike (very very good)

I don't care much for the NOVA since it has a low damage output.....

I like my calibers high or fast

Fast: AY69

Caliber: Majestic/Hammer

a pity that you can't scope a majestic like you could in singleplayer

the same can be said for the magazine size of the ay69 even with ext mags you are really short of 10 rounds that the single player gives you....

While lag IS an issue with any hit detection in this game, I would like to note that these guns are SECONDARIES. There is a module you can use if you feel the pistols aren't up to snuff that lets you run around with two primaries. But to be honest I feel everyone was so used to games like MW2 where your secondaries were ridiculous killing machines that often overpowered your primaries. A suggestion: AY69 with extended mags. They are really meant to be used when you have blown a clip into someone and don't have time to reload. If you are trying to run around the map with just that out then you are doing something wrong.

....Sidearms aren't primary weapons. They are ment as a last ditch resort or as a means to more easily : navigate extremely tight spaces, lower sound. ASide from it a sidearm is never used. Due to the fact that all armor stops smaller caliber round. If a sidearm is inneffective against normal armor in 2023... what makes people think they would be effective against Nano Armor???

ay-69 w/ extended mag is pretty good...and the majestic is great if you're accurate

Side Arm design is to switch faster than reloading primary during firefight! Obviously you are svcky gamer, who doesn't know the style playing, seriously stop complaining and understand damn game mechanics.

I use Hammer a lot, high caliber and I got triple kill once, and pretty good with it. M12 Nova is fast pace, accurate and low recoil, but takes a lot more to take some down unless headshot

Little did you know, the small caliber bullet is meant to be the Achilles Heel of the Nanosuit....

Personally, my hammer become godlike once I got the silencer for the painstaking first 20 loud kills.

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:26 am

They are Okay But it doesn't mean that they should be svckish.

Ummmmmmmmmm

Majestic with rapid fire+

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 6:55 am

Majestic rocks the socks, 1 bullet takes a stealther out.

I dont look for any other peoples weapons when my MIKE runs out as im happy to just use my majestic

?side arms in games mp are usually used in a fight when reloading is not an option?

Why are you so crap?

This isnt Counter-strike where deagle is godly.
Its a secondary wepon and i dont play team instant so i cant say much as i die before getting to the point of using it.
But when i use it i kill with 3 shots but due to lag etc etc i can agree with you

seriously ay69, i use it as the pistol on my sniper dsg load out with rapid fire module for sniping pleasure. First game I used the ay was skyline crashsite, got a triple kill in the glass house when i was crashing their zone, that was against scars and without armor... ay69 is sick, if you can't use it as an effective sidearm or haven't unlocked it yet, just wait, it's a badass little smg that I can get more kills with than the feline...

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:03 am

I agree; at least let us shot the d*** thing as fast as in single player

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 5:17 am

Pistols blow the M12 Nova blows the hammer half blows. Its a strong gun and takes too much time to kill someone. I was able to unload 2 full clips into someone before it killed them. Without them using max armor.
