Most unbalanced weapon !
« on: October 23, 2008, 11:32:04 am »
I'm curious and want to see what is Soldat's most unbalanced weapon in your opinion.
If you vote you should write what's wrong with that weapon and why do you think so.

Imo, weapons are balanced.

My vote is ... obviously ruger for obvious reasons (easy compared with other semis, still most versatile and effective).

Minigun, its too weak, that's why nobody uses it. it should have less recoil and self bink, higher firerate, and more damage to be worth it.

If it would get some serious buffs it'd be yet another auto - so it should stay the same imo (it's not really a weapon designed to kill, it's more like an item to boost teammates/yourself slow down enemies. Useless in 3v3s but.. who really cares.

The ruger...once a player reaches a basic skill level, you don't even have to be good, you can start getting two to three kills with the ruger's 4 bullets. Plus it has none of the barrett's shortcomings, making it a slightly powered down version of the barrett with four shots. I may be mistaken, but there seems to be something wrong here...

The gun that is mini. Easily the least balanced.

For the minigun are you guys saying its too powerful or not enough? I'm confused...personally I think the minigun is underpowered, sure it shoots a lot, but all the bullets do is push you back really...maybe I've just never played against someone that is good with it.

I voted minigun, because it is underpowered. I don't suppose anyone think that minigun is overpowered.
Except for minigun weapons are balanced imo, but now I'm talking about realistic mostly.

Ah, I see.

I just wasn't sure. It's more of an annoyance, really. Something that you use to prevent someone from getting your flag while not really killing them. Or if you like to just stand on top of a level and spray. About the only thing it's useful for is using it on climbing maps to boost yourself up a little higher...

The weapons are relatively balanced, Minigun indeed is the most unbalanced in the sense that it is too weak (will be given a major change and buff in 1.5, but will still be a support/pushing/boosting weapon than a killing machine).

If I exclude the Minigun, it'd be Ruger and Steyr Aug. But I voted minigun.

Minigun for me. They're too weak.

Lol, excruciator, you're still at it.
tehsnipah, minigun IMO isn't that bad, it's not supposed to be strong or anything.  They'll improve it for its purpose, due to the higher rate of fire.

I think the guns are fine the way they are for the most part, but I'd like to see a few changes to make the weapons more realistic(no barret start up time, no more insta-kill when shot anywhere but the head, AK-47 mag has 30 rounds instead of 40... stuf like that). I know not many others want this, though, so I won't push it.

I don't like how the knife is insta-kill either, but soldat is too simple of a game to make the knife realistic.

I'm not really sure that I'm satisfied with the current weapon set. Or at least, I'm not completely and utterly satisfied. Suffice it to say that the weapons are sufficient for enjoyable gameplay.
However, I would like to see the minigun get at least a minimal boost in power to make it somewhat practical to use. And I think that maybe the M79 could use a little toning down, it's pretty easy to dominate with it after using it for just a little bit.
All in all though, the weapons are fine for all intents and purposes.

This. As it is it does about half the DPS of an HK assuming ALL the shots hit, has a startup, crazy self bink.. Ehh. Bad.

I think they're all balanced quite well, the minigun is taken out of the Aussie servers I use, so I can't really count it. It depends on player skill for me really.

I'm gonna say the Spas is slightly overpowered. If you're a good enough shot, you can bring a player down in 1 or 2 shots which, coupled with the Spas 12's unique reload, contributes to the weapon's power.
