Desert eagles

[tehsnipah]

I'm sorry, I'm just too lazy about reading all these posts. So is he talking about 1.4 deagles or 1.5? Also, leave deagle alone........ It's hard to master, since it has a horrible range, it makes sense why it's everything you said Lumen.

[Rai-Dei]

The Range is not bad at all, it just takes timing. The only thing I hate is the damage the Deagles lose over long range, makes it hard to kill people.

[Sir Jeremy]

Agreed Rai, The Eagles I have come to consider as some of the best guns if you're good with them.
I find them especially useful in smaller Maps Like Ash, Or Nuubia.

[Platehead]

Not only that, they are useful in basically all situations in larger maps unless they're running away from you.
In the air, you can move around like crazy using aerial tricks but have perfect accuracy

So deagles own

i wouldnt really say they have "ENORMOUS" accuracy . maybe at 5 meters or below

Do you know what we mean by "accuracy"? We mean that the Desert Eagles have NO movement inaccuracy and NO bink. Therefore you can get shot for all you want and keep moving, but your bullets will always fly the way it should. If you're talking about how close the bullet flies to the cursor, that would be bullet speed. DEs have accuracy but not range (because of its low bullet speed, which also gives it an awkward curve).

And the bullet curve is what makes it pretty hard to master for aiming.

heh, Snow, I was the master before monk (before 1.3.1 came and fucked up the hit reg). anyhow, the DEs are balanced. why?
because you really gotta hit every shot, it's hard to combine with nades, short range. while the AK, Steyr is "just" run down and "spray" the shit out of your opponent (yes I know autoing isn't that easy, but it isn't that hard either).

[Extacide]

They're one of the most effective mid-close range counters against autos with it's lack of bink and moveacc. They're predictable at long range and I can only pull a few names from the back of my mind of deaglers that can actually and effectively make use of these at any long range. They are easily countered by OSK guns, long range (AK, Minimi, Ruger, Barret), and are level against close-mid ranged guns, at times advantageous. Best used on maps that dont possess wide open areas that can slaughter a deagler in a range match.

Skill weapon. Not over powered.

[Platehead]

Yeah, but in the air you get full agility over them while shooting well
But still it's not overpowered

[BlisterEye]

I'm actually owning with Eagles at the moment. They've my favorite weapon. Very effective in war defense and if you're a good shot, you can get some nifty outer-screen frags. Keep them as they are.

[STM1993]

As a result of the 75% bullet push, the Desert Eagles have gotten a buff: +2 damage per bullet, and -4 reload. In other words, more damage and faster reload.

Other than that, I'd say the DEs are actually perfect.

[Platehead]

Yeah, aren't they getting 8 clips/bullet too?
I reckon they're awesome, after next buff I hope no one will complain about them being overpowered.
But you can see from popularity that they're not easy

[STM1993]

8 bullets? No. They're staying at 7 ammo. The one that's most probably getting the 8 ammo is Spas-12. Don't mix the two guns up.

[BlisterEye]

Eagles are a bitch to master. I've seen this somewhere else posted by a user and they're completely right: one wrong move and you're fux0rd.

Awww sorry STM1993.  I heard from $wift a while ago.  And by the way, I still don't know where you check the current weapon updates... anyone have a link or something?

#soldat.gather
on servers 1 and 2 (iirc...) there is 1.5b weapon mod.
Also it was posted like a month ago somewhere on these forums...

I really hate this gun...reasons..well:

1-It shots faster that ruger(make´s it hard to kill deserts users with... a ruger)
2-more bullets than ruger(witch it suck cause deserts= 3 hit weapon right? Well in 1.5 ruger is almost 3 hits every time...so do u get it?
3-way to overpowered (this weapon should be 4 shots per kill then it will be fair)

1. Good ruger user knows 2 ruger shots and 3 DE shots take about same time to fire
2. 3 hit weapon, true, but it's more like that... long range - Ruger pwns, shorter range - DE pwn...
3. Nah, not overpowered, 3 shots is pretty much how it is really...

1. ORLY (Ruger is actually easier and more powerful.)
2. sure ~50-60% is "almost every time"...
3. in many situations it is 4 hit kill... Its so fcking powerful and zomgp00nt and.. it's the least used primary excluding minigun. Why? People don't pick it because it owns so hard... of course.

What, they're actually gonna do that? Aww man, I love the way that the deagle is right now!
