    Its funny talking to TR players claiming the GK has bloom and drop, lol, its like they've never used any other weapon in the game other than the GK.

    Whats an ECUS player?
    Is it someone from the European Community living in the United States?

    Quick suggestion:

    The GK seems to be indended as a long range weapon, but excels at all ranges.
    The long range makes high zoom optics preferrable, to hit those targets at render range.

    So to even the odds at closer ranges without messing with it's damage, add somewhat severe "hipfire" CoF and bloom to force it's user to lower his rate of fire for closer targets.

    As long as the weapon is zoomed in it works as it does now, but unzoomed it sprays all over the place if the trigger is held down uncontrolled.

    ECUS is an outfit on Emerald that has a fetishistic view on Harassers, with an occasional affair with tanks.

    Edit: I don't mean that in a negative way, most ECUS players I've talked with are cool people. :)

    GK is too good at range, too quick with damage and kills the ground game and thus kills my incentive to pay and or play.

    A sniper rifle would excel at all ranges too if it were shooting at a rock.
    You obviously ignored the fact that at normal ranges, a LOT of stuff for all fractions will be better.

    So, besides insulting me, you're trying to say what exactly?...

    Since you obviously missed it somehow...

    I read it, but to me it's still cryptic jibberish.

    You mention a sniper rifle, well guess what: Sniper Rifles have terrible hipfire.

    And then you vaguely mention a lot of stuff that is "better" at "normal" ranges, without being specific.

    I need more than that to argue.

    Wow, do I really need to explain this to you? The meme is turning out to be quite accurate to my initial guess.

    Normal range is not long range. Long range is where the Gatekeeper shines most, at closer ranges that are not long, each fraction including the TR has better options for secondary tanks and harassers to kill faster&more effectively.

    No offense taken. Your assessment is spot on.

    Well I figured it was better to make sure. Not because I expected ECUS members to be offended but more that others people would see it for the friendly jab it was. ;)
