Disagree all you want, newbies, but 1-hit killers are too... useful.

Best Admin: jrgp, he's like the forum mom and a pet dog rolled into one.
There isnt a problem with 1 hit kill weapons. The only 1 hit kill weapon that is unbalanced is the grenades, and thats it.
That would both make the ruger redundant and go against MM's request to not touch the barret's damage value.
Well **** them then. This isn't about finding a good veteran balance. Both sides' issues should be dealt with.
Waat? When did i say or imply all those things? You don't know me.
Can you not grasp that the m79 is overused and quite easy to get a decent amount of kills with on a pub?
I suppose you're also denying the holocaust. Hitler did that too. Are you a nazi?
Anyhoo, call me communist,
but i think newbs and vets should have equally as much fun and balance in their own weightclass.
Despite what you seem to think, the ability to dodge does not make someone a veteran player. Anyway, if all of the guns were perfectly even, like you seem to suggest, why have them? Why have variety if certain guns aren't better in certain situations, and there's no advantage to using one over the other? Think of any other game. Think of chess. Each player starts out exactly the same way. But if one has more skill than the other, if one knows how to deal with certain situations better than the other, he's going to win. New chess players might get forked a lot. But what do they do? Do they whine that knights are overpowered? No. They learn to watch for the signs of a fork, and avoid or counter it. The same is true for Soldat. New players will get killed by the M79 a lot. But anyone with any intelligence at all will soon learn how to deal with it.

By that definition nades would still be balanced if they were guaranteed 1-hit kills with a blast radius of five screens =)

QuoteBut anyone with any intelligence at all will soon learn how to deal with it.Anyone is going to have trouble if you're in a pub with a crappy team and going against a team of 50-75% m79s.

It's just wrong to compare a small, lag-unaffected game that doesn't have a random factor nor many other factors at all for that matter, that's also designed to be fair and complex.Oeh, i like starcraft! Not the same as Soldat, but just to illustrate what i like in a game. At least it's closer to soldat than chess ;dThe game has random factors, but not a lot. The game is extremely well-balanced, but provides tons of variation. I've played it for 9 years or whatnot and still haven't managed to detect a possibly overpowered race or char, just favourites and prefered tactics. =) Joo see, perfect balance isn't just copypasting a gun.

Like the M79, it only works on newbies.
I joined a deathmatch where everyone was using the barret.
QuoteLike the M79, it only works on newbies. What?The m79 is a viable weapon in alt routes on most maps, somewhat viable top in others, and useful anywhere in Nuubia.
