    MAXes r gud.

  2. Giggily

    Note that in both of these examples the player is using AI weapons to kill infantry, not AV.

    Dont ******** me dude. I play TR, VS and NC. My main is NC. I have maxed-out TR and NC maxes. I have dual AV VS and NC maxes with the latest weapons. The raven and the vortex cant touch the fracture for AV, perdiod, end of story.

    you can also note that the VS max kept it's ZOE form on for almost the whole time and the NC max almost never left an enclosed space.

    I did in the test server threads about this subject. Posted some awesome gifs of old falcon killing infantry.

    That awkward moment when your enemy's AV option is better than all of your AI options.

    What that NUC did with that raven simply cannot be done with any VS or TR max. (shoot guided rockets)
    What that NUC did with that vortex simply cannot be done with any NC or TR max. (0 bullet drop, high velocity)

    oh how I miss the old Falcons :(

    If half of the defenders decided to flank around or make LA suicide c4 runs from the roof down they would have stood a much better chance then running in one by one like bad guys in a kung fu flick. The ZOE's didnt even have pocket engi's of course they were gonna get mowed down in a second. The video just looked like a bunch of pubs going up against a highly skilled and organized outfit where one max out of a couple just happened to be using Fractures, he probably would have gotten the same results with mercys with that kind of support. Pretty weak argument for a nerf and thats from someone who cant stand fracts.

    Difference being the mercy is an AI weapon. The fracture is an AV weapon. I'd say an AV weapon performing just as well against infantry as an AI weapon, which you even admit to, is a damn good reason to nerf it.

    rocket launchers, ap tank rounds, phalanx turrets, engi av turrets and a ton more av weapons that I cant think of right now all ohk me as infantry. The Fractures dont even ohk, I just don't see what all the fuss is about. I hate fracts because of the screen shake and shell shocked effect are annoying, but as an infantry I fear mercys way more.

    Rocket launchers and AP are limited by long reloads. Phalanx turrets and engi turrets are completely stationary.

    who needs to reload when it kills you in one shot
  17. whitupiggu

    Everyone when there are 5 more infantry running around trying to kill you.

    as a max with either the choice of fractures or mercys against 5 infantry guys, I would easily take my chances with the ai option, fracture are just decent against squishies but require flawless aim and hitting a flying c4 LA is much more difficult with them. I've gone 1vs1 with fract maxes with my zoe blueshifts extended mag and i won almost everytime, just had to turn zoe off and face rock them while strafing, if they just miss a couple of shots while you continuously shoot their face its over . Fracts are good but far from op, they need to be used in a group combined with other friendly fire to be uber effective against infantry, otherwise they are more psychological then anything, it sometimes feels like the end of the world when those red orbs are hitting everywhere around you just like the lasher.

    How the heck are 20+ players including MAX units, medics, engineers and HAs all focus firing able to hold down a doorway? HAX!

    Well that was probably the dumbest post ever, thanks for wasting my time.
