Im just gonna disagree on one thing, you said people hate the current state of the m79.Well I feel the m79 itself is fine but most people do not like the over saturation of m79 users in the game lobbies.
Sorry, but no.. the M79 is fine.I think there's something wrong with the majority of american and european communities.Here in Brazil our servers are perfectly balanced, we always have Barret, M79 and auto users.
People kill/selfkill all the time with the m79, especially on my poor self. Making it happen even more often probably isn't going to stop it from happening. You don't pick the m79 with the intention of killing yourself with a point blank shot. It just happens because someone gets close to you and the first thing you want to do is shoot them.
I'm considering quitting Soldat, or at the very least, sticking to knife servers. It's gotten to be too much."M79 is fine". whatever.
Acutally, anything is effective if you dodge the first shot.
QuoteI'm considering quitting Soldat, or at the very least, sticking to knife servers. It's gotten to be too much."M79 is fine". whatever.You're giving up Soldat because people you M79? Personally, i think that tells everyone about you're character. Just find another way to deal with it, i have found MP5 works very effectively against M79 if you can dodge their first shot.
So, what DOES that say about my character? That I like to have fun... that's pretty much it.
There's just no competition against a group of M79 users.

There's no way the M79 team can win this with all the other team spraying your ass with their autos. The strategy is very simple.. 2 players on defense and 3 attacking (two go for the flag and the third one keeps spraying the base from a distance).M79ers hate to be killed from a distance as much as you hate being killed by them at close range.It's just a matter of learning to keep a distance and fire from there.And if you wanna run like crazy just move your mouse to the edge of the screen... you can spot a coming M79er and then you'll have enough time (and space) to get ready and shoot him before your face is blown.Look, it's been the same damn story with the Barret. You whiners hated it so much that you added delay, bink, startup time and movement decreases accuracy. Now you want to add the same sh*t to the M79 so people will stop using it. Everybody will switch to the Ruger.. and then you're gonna do what, delay the Ruger too? You're gonna screw all the weapons until the only playable ones left are the autos?There are other things that need to be balanced/fixed.Self-bink is a good example, it should affect the automatics but is completely useless, just press your fire button quickly and your shots go straight as a line and the crosshair never gets big.

If they miss me, i can kill em before they reload

I dunno if that's a bug or lag that causes that, but it's really, really annoying. I'd agree that the M79 is balanced if the bugs or lag that causes the above and M79ers' ability to fire point blank without a selfkill weren't so prevailant in the game.
It's more fun when the shot hits you but doesn't kill you, and propels you forward hehe.
