New idea for decreasing m79 noobs
« on: December 19, 2007, 04:35:08 pm »
i thought about this:
if you kill with m79 you get only 0.5 points for kill instead of 1 point.
that way, all those m79 noobs will see and understand that their score is going slowly and they will stay last at the chart of scores and then they just won't take the m79 any more!

what do you guys think about that?

No. Just no, there's no need. M79 maybe be cheap (imo) but reducing the amount for a kill would make it unfair, as the have to work twice as hard. That's like saying 'lets reduce the amount you get for a kill with barrett as you can zoom as you can kill them far away'. Just get used to it, or play gathers. There's no need.

We would be better of without the m79.(relative to your idea)  But it's a fair weapon, it's the people's fault it's over used, not the weapons...

I would say yes, because it's showing them just how cheap their weapon is. But I gotta say no; it's just too much of a nerf.

If so how many points would I get by kill someone with a knife? And with deagles?

If a M79'er kills you, just shut up and pwn him later.

I think it's feck. I also suggest you get better so that you won't have to moan about a weapon that you suck against.

You realize that the m79 is ALREADY one of the slowest point-accumulating weapons?

So what they get one kill now and then. You get several with a machinegun and you want it to be nerfed?

The weapon is fine.

It's not that easy to even use M79 after all, well it depends but wouldn't make any sense sense.

I also noticed the word "noobs" in the name of this very topic, wasn't too bright idea.

I second this, if you cant learn how to decrease the chances of getting hit by an m79 grenade, you deserve to die, plain and simple.

i agree with splinter ans korrupt. thats a horrible idea the weapon is slow as is and it accumulates points so slowly that you dont need to do half of a kill, and yea if you cant dodge an m79 grenade its your fault not the weapons

The M79 is one of the hardest and slowest weapons to use. People think its a noob-weapon since like the Barrett it can kill with one shot, but that's not always. It's only if you are close enough to an enemy and have a clear shot. Plus it has a heck of an arc.. so you have to be close and in dangerous territory to use it. When you are however, you're usually very vulnerable to enemy machinegun fire, which will finish you off very quick in close range. So if you miss someone who has an SMG pointed at you, you're toast. You can't reload fast enough to get a second chance. Your only chance is to have a nade on you or be good with your secondary. So yeah, not a noob weapon, since you have to be in close proximity to death to be able to use it properly. A noob would barely be able to use the weapon then, and usually a real "m79 noob" gets "lucky" kills.

I've got an idea too, lets disable lobby so such public pros like you won't have a place to grow on. Keep in mind that real m79 user would eat you with every other weapon (each 'player' knows that m79 in hard league cws is a great risk for the whole team unless he's a god with that weapon, not many players like that believe me, even so every of em mastered atleast one auto and one semi weapon, and that's the worst case ^^).

Just what Ichiro said. The M79 is no problem, since the M79'ers are always at the bottom of the scoreboard. Why? Because they can't kill fast. They might get easy kills, but anyone who is decent with auto, knows to keep distance and kill them whle they can't hit the Auto user.

m79 is a weapon mostly for rushers, users of it are capable of fighting with secondary weapons in the heat of battle freely, more like it's a must for them. That way they can kill fastly 2 guys (sometimes all = 3 guys in base), take flag and return to own base securely. It's a weapon that needs real finesse and battlesense that isn't only set on killing but more like capping that leads to win of the match, not killing (that's important thing too tho i've seen many clans that even with negative k/d ratios were winning whole matches).
