PS2 is a broken game... and why.

    Did they change anything about MAXes during the last week...or are you just completely clueless when it comes to VS? You never used Vortex, right? How arrogant and ignorant is it to claim that you know it better than a whole faction(very skilled players included) hardly ever use it because it's crap? We use comets for a reason...and that reason is not that vortex is better. And nobody complains about comets being OP either.
    Hitting a target on long range is not as easy as some people that never really used them, think. It's not an instant hit and unless you charge your weapon you do basicly no damage(and quickshot is no option anyway due to recoil). That means that you need to aim very well(long range after all...so the target is small) and be on target within a very limited time frame. This is extremely difficult unless you want to be a sitting duck. With comets you can take all your time to aim(cause you got no time frame), fire&forget and be behind a rock before the target even knows that a comet-ball is comming...and all that for much higher damage(and on long range it's extremely important to do a lot of damage with one hit...a lot of small damage hits just make it easy for the target to repair. Your goal isn't to force some engineer to repair the tank...your goal is to destroy the tank).
    If you ever tried to use a dual vortex vs vehicles on long range on your own, you'd know that you get the feeling you are using a pellet gun. If you get a group of 3+ dual vortex players to work together, then they turn into real killers. But seriously, how often does that happen? And since in such a case there are usually several targets...how often do they all focus on one target? And it's not like the targets won't shoot back and 3 AP rounds still beat 3 dual vortexes easily. Last but not least: If you get 3 dual comets work together(or any other type of max weapon, or even 3 annihilators), they are not less devastating.
    That the vortex is completely useless vs vehicles in close range(due to lacking damage output and in close range the bullet speed of vortex doesn't matter at all) and even worse vs. infantry, doesn't help either.
    Conclusion is, that vortex(and lancer) is a gimmick gun. If you got too many certs you can have some fun with it...but you will always(maybe with exception of fast travelling aircrafts...cause with vortex you at least got a chance to hit for little damage... Comets will almost always miss) be more effective with comets especially after getting used to the slow travelling speed of the projectile.

    Iv already explained how NC wins more SS matches then they should.

    NC is the only faction to bother using their MAX in SS!

    Look up the stats yourself. In any match NC in is they at least have double the kills as a MAX than the other faction. If you use MAXes twice as much then you are going to lean the odds in your favor.


    Also if you would have bothered to answer those questions I asked you would have already seen that.

    1- Where are the factions not equal?
    MAX AI weapons. Everything else in the game is either shared NS, cloned ES, or something comparable.

    2- Why are they different in those areas?
    NC MAXes get shotguns and TR/VS get MMGs, nothing else in the game locks a faction to a single weapon type. Shotguns are **** for Live gameplay as they don't help in attacking the whole of a base, MMGs very much do. Yet in SS matches MAXes are simply not used but for exact roles, and shotguns work for exact roles better than MMGs.

    3- Is any of this recent or part of a long term pattern?
    Been like this since launch. Both Live and SS.

    4- How would "I" fix it?
    Make NS MAX weapons. An MMG, a shotgun, and with hopes the Flamethrower to fill the roles any faction may have gaps in.



    Im getting sick of typing the same things over and over again. All you do is defect with every post and never bother to explain ANY of your reasoning with any form of proof. In a fast skim of this topic, you haven't brought ANYTHING of worth to the table. Nothing. Either back up what you say or just shut up.

    Till then, Im done talking to you.

    I know how to fix this game, remove the ruddy Harrassers! In some ways if your TR/VS they are better than tanks an cheaper!
