Get rid of the m79

[Shadow G-Unit]

It's fine period and a smart person like you STM1993 should know that. The four of five posts above yours, like Clawbug's, seems to answer many of those whiners' problems so if people keep asking questions centered around one main problem, it will keep going around in circles until a moderator or something steps in before a war starts.

Mmk.

I guess we should just let this topic die and be locked then, since everything has been answered.

When m79 camps out in base, they get a lot more kills than any other weapons, and pisses me off all the time, and once you spawn, you usually can't get enough speed to dodge it, and jumping is useless due to the huge blast radius.

The reason I personally hate it is becuase I play infiltration. "Just don't rush in and you'll be fine" doesn't count in Inf, especially in maps with enclosed flags like Rise, Warehouse, and Moonshine. Therefore it is a pain. But I don't think it should be nerfed, the experimental thing is more of a change than a nerf (still probably a nerf). I just still like startup time. Makes barret a better counter for it. (I hate when I click to kill them, then I die because of the stupid startup, yelling at the screen I FIRED FIRST) Get rid of it, I think not.

[MuffinDude]

But the m79 has a bigger advantage against barret in a smaller map because you can't keep as big of a distance to be safe.

Okay okay, now it's starting with a common sense again.....

And no to your words Hitler, because barrets have scopes. So if you scope and be aware that a guy with m79's coming at you, just time it well and "boom," I don't see his head.

i wasnt in mood to read all this, but i found a way for nerfing the m79, but letting it the same use
its
-barret like bink

why:
-noobs wont use it, horrible aim
-you could shoot yourself when having horrible bink =D
-it wouldnt be pain in the ass for mastering the proper use
-no m79 rushers

That is actually a really good idea

m79 is not noob. It has a long reload time so you have time to shoot them and kill them.

[TheWind]

Who said anything about getting rid of it?
croat's idea is a good one, I use M79 a hell of a lot, especially on ash and nuubia so its not like i don't like the weapon, the thing is that if you give it the bink and move acc then it becomes harder to use for less skilled players. Its not a noob weapon and we should accept that, its the noob players that we don't like... so if we make it less appealing to the noob players it will possibly remove the whining and let the good M79 players play well without being called 'nab' or 'tard'.

[Mallow007]

...i do found it annoying in some places...like nubbia...OMFG that's the m79 map for excellence really i hate how skilled players use it went they sense they are going to lose against another team (gathers)...is really annoying but well what can u do...it really is a good weapon.

Think about it:
Good at close range and mid range
Usefull to boost ur self
Usefull to BLOCK or PUSH BACK ur foes
Suicide gun(noob way)
usefull for spawning(annoying yeah i know).

Yeah all of this is the m79 but yes it does need less skills that other weapons(face it)and ppl use it when they are losing...wanting to feck up ppl...or just to feck u up ROFL!.

[Grimreck]

if you think about it the m79 and the Barrett are almost the same:
-you have one shot to kill the enemy, if you fail you have 3+ seconds before firing again

the only difference is that the Barrett is more point and click than the M79 because its bullet actually goes in a fast straight line. The M79 you have to calculate how far the person will move and the gravity on the projectile. Also with the M79 you have generally half the screen where you can hit somebody. so if they stay away from you then you are can't hurt them at all. The Barrette you can kill them before they can even see you.

and if all the noobs use the m79 then it should
-A: give them a chance, and
-B: give you 'pro's' a challenge

Finally, if the M79 is 'so' annoying then why haven't the servers removed it from the weapons menu. I've only played the Australian servers but they generally have the mini gun removed. If the M79 is such a noobish, skilless, pain in the neck, spawning killing, weapon then why have they still got it??

[miketh2005]

I say keep the m79 the same, as you said, it's the PLAYERS fault, not the weapon's, if you implement the constant muzzle velocity for the M79, it will make weapon mods harder, adding more bink would solve this problem but still...just join another server!!! jeez, anothere way you say? join !Elite Explosives, where M79s are the lesser and ruger is the best.

im sorry if I upset anyone, but from all the weapons the m79 is the most interesting and fun weapon to use(welll at least on low ping servers). If it is annoying(ie you cannot learn from your mistakes) you then you have poor tactics. However, I have to add m79 + socom is pretty much unbeatable, so the chorus of " he misses hes dead" sounds completely unsubstantiated.

Not really, a decent primary player can kill you before you manage to switch weapons in the event of a miss.  More than likely, a nade combo can kill you before you press the switch weapon key

[Gizd]

M79 is weapon like others and it shouldn't be deleted.
If you can't beat som1 with M79 you just suck...

[Platehead]

That's what we've been saying for 5 pages of discussion.
Of course, there's no way they'll get rid of it I think
