Why the Fracture is overpowered

Nice vid, thread title should really be 'why good teamwork is overpowered'

Except the fractures have far too many advantages.

It can't have a high magazine, high velocity, high accuracy, high rate of fire and good damage all combined. It needs to trade effectiveness in certain areas.

Half the mag size and reduce velocity to 150 and MAYBE it will start being balanced.

That basically defines the Enforcer as compared to the Halberd... but that's for another thread,
The Fracture has lower damage and (nearly) zero splash. In return, it gets a large clip and high accuracy. In general play it's balanced. In the hands of an expert marksman who's being supported by his team it has more potential than the other launchers.

all AV maxes are balanced, SOE did a great job on them

People dont forget that fracture has no close covergence point. Come has like 5m. Pounder and falcon has ~30m. Raven and vortex has 0m like feacture. If fractures had the cinvergence of pounder it would be hitting the spawn room instead. The darts would fly past the shoulders of the vanu players.

So you used to think old falcons and comets were overpowered?

This is more of a testament to just how bad most PS2 players are than anything else.

I said that they are balanced right now. Just look at other videos of AV maxes.

Except the halberd is better against infantry. Which is why most NC have switched back to it.

Of max the AV weapons Ive used I rate from best to worse.

Fracture best AV against infantry suffers accuracy issues at long range versus vehicles.
Comet best AV against vehicles has miss issues versus infantry.
Raven has miss issues against infantry along with a slow projectile speed and requires guidance after being fired.
Falcons has huge miss issues against infantry and is to easy to spot when firing against vehicles.

If I had to choose and I'm shooting infantry ill take Fractures. If instead I'm shooting vehicles ill would take Comets. Fractures are the best general purpose max weapons. If other max AV weapons had same hit ability against infantry as fracture then Comets would be best all around max weapons.

Pounders and Vortex I don't have any real experience with them so can't say.

We've been winning and so don't care to comment as much. As soon as either the NC or VS pull ahead again, the other 2 factions will pool together a list of OP complaints. And the cycle will continue...

I just had a flashback to forumside during the reign of the NC max and magrider.

The VS in the clip is seriously incompetent. They just brainlessly rush in the building, basically suicide-charging.

Well, all of those VS Maxxes are of course in ZOE mode for their uber DPS and l33t running speed, so of course they're going to melt when pelted with 6-8 AV rockets. It's called a trade-off. Can you imagine if the TR max decided to use it's anchor ability? Wouldn't work so well in that (or nearly any) situation. I'd love to trade it for ZOE

NC has been getting the nerf bat all spring / summer... and zero cool new toys. Its time for a nice Fall/Winter for the NC. Watch the 4th factioners run from the TR soon. Sad that they can do that on the same server.

For anyone who doesn't know what he means and why you see so few NC AV MAX weapons... well just watch this:

The only disclaimer is that the Raven launchers seemingly randomly adopt that weird firing pattern only infrequently (just to mix things up as they are edgy NC weapons) and mostly just fire straight like they are supposed to. Also if you jump up and down it seems to fix it (I know right?).

Developers are TRsided!!!

Why phoenix is nerf against infantry and MAX? when TR max can kill all

SOE will not fix it unless its an Elmo issue. The crying tears of red come first. How dare you NC ask for something to work right. Heck your Vanguard shields didnt work right for 6 months... suck it up.

Yep, un-nerf the Phoenix. It never should have been nerfed in the first place. Especially seeing the TR has the best of almost everything... striker, vulcan, fracture, mossy, prowler, easymode infantry weapons and the list keeps going on and on.

So we have a video of a Fracture max covering a door with a pocket engy, also covered to his left by an AI max (guessing mercys). We see VS blindly running into a room getting slaughtered to good team work and everyone is crying TR OP.
Then we have this video

A Zoe max doing something similar with no other maxs around to cover and the occasional engy repairing. Also he states he isnt very good with a Zoe max, and no one bats an eyelid because its not a video of TR being supposidly OP.
Odd.
