    90% of all combat in this game is within 20 meters.

    only that when you see an nc max, you don't have time to back off.

    Almost kept reading but apparently you couldn't be bothered by reading my post because I never said what you're now saying.

    You seem confused, I'll keep it short and sweet for you buddy. At ranges where the NC MAX can barely land any damage, the TR/VS MAXs can still maintain full DPS. In a duel at those ranges, which are the most common kind of duels, NC loses.

    Was that easier for you?

    Pretty sure we both know why you're pretending you stopped reading there, sport.

    Charge is a very good tactic against static defenders who are holding a choke point. Have 3-4 MAX units all charge past the defenders, up the stairs past the generator room, then wreak havoc on the 2nd floor. That will distract enough people who were holding the stairs for wave 2 to sweep into the generator room of the bio-lab.

    The key word there is "coordinated".

    That's like saying 80% of death in war are from bullets; lets ignore safety.

    Combat that matters, happens everywhere, at all ranges. Go for a walk outside your base when the enemy is zerging it. I mean if 90% of all combat happens at so close then you have nothing to worry about right? You only have 10% chance of being killed.
  7. vanu123

    No the combat that matters happens within 20 meters, combat does not happen in an open field nearly as often as it does within a base which is easily 20 meters.
  8. Danthaman

    You made a simple logic mistake.

    90% of combat HAPPENS in close. How come the average accuracy is 20% shouldnt it be MUCH higher if this was that close? Perhaps its because close combat is more deadly inherently? So if something has longer range it HAS BETTER KILLING POWER IN GENERAL?

    Important combat happens everywhere. Do you ignore long ranged enemies, they are not important right? Infact can you ever really run in the open during a battle? OH and there's my point again. TR and VS maxes being able to be a threat at long ranges while still instagibbing infantry up close is ridiculous.

    I don't care if you die more up close. EVERYONE DOES. But when you can die to a TR and VS max at range and can ignore a NC max, that is inbalance.
  9. Danthaman

    The only other poor excuse I hear is that the NC max kills faster up close. Funny I don't remember living long enough to fart when I am close to a VS or TR max. Infact if I somehow manage to get away from a VS or TR max -perhaps they are nubs, or they were distracted- I still get shot in the back from RANGE.

    I play TR and VS ( to get auraxiums) and I get away from a NC max, I am free and clear.

    It must be nice to have a tank that can kill the other tanks without taking damage just by pushing a button.
    It must be nice to have a LMG that can kill more people before reloading than the Orion does with all its ammo.
    etc etc etc.

    I love talking to good NC players that will flat-out admit that the NC is has the whiniest, most entitled forumbabies imaginable. True story.

    I laughed. Thanks.

    anything less than 20 meters is CQC. that is why you are destroyed every time.
  15. Mhak

    Because you were strawmanning? Glad we're on the same page.

    Oh wait, forgot who I'm talking to. You probably don't understand what a strawman falacy is. That's when you misrepresent someone's argument, and then attack the misrepresented argument. I never said TR/VS MAXs can keep up 100% accuracy and land all their shots into an opponent's head at all ranges. You said that, and then attacked it.

    You're arguing with yourself. My point isn't really contestable, it's just weapon stats. Feel free to keep arguing with hard data, you're doing a great job at it.
  16. Latrodectus

    Oh I figured it was just because you didn't feel the need to fully outline an argument you agree with 100%. I mean there's no point in preaching to the choir right? Those TR and VS MAXes are running wild with their 100% full DPS at ranges where the NC MAX has absolutely no defensive or offensive options. It's a travesty.
  17. vanu123

    Not really because so many people just shoot their guns just for the sake of shooting them. Also I say again the only important combat takes place on capture points. Besides grab slugs and you will be fine up to 15-20 meters.
