    Today I got pwned by a 1-shot from a shotty pistol. I wtf'd but not with raeg.

    What are you guys finding surprisingly vicious and deadly in this steam release?

    Scout rifle, and pistols in general.

    It may just be me, but SMG1 seems far too accurate when prone. Of course, that only happened to me when I was an engi, but eh.

    I find it a lot harder to kill people now, I don't know what.

    And somehow my sense for mortar is fucked up, I still overshoot the thing every time for some reason.

    99% of people say the shotty sucks, but now, more and more are learning how to actually use it. It's a really tight spread, and if you can land all of it, you will instantly kill someone. You can even get them pretty hard at range. It's just overlooked by most because of pistol 1.

    Pistol. No reason to use the SMGs what so ever :)

    Steam version gives me avg ~100 ping on servers that used to have 80 max. Can't say anything about the shotty pistol because i can't even hit anything with it like that.
    So many scouts...Its 2.0 all over again, people dicking around with hide and bolts. I totaly did not miss that aspect of empires gameplay. Also lack of targets makes shooting people that are in the water utterly impossible.
    Ontopic: Not getting owned by, but owning with NF missle boats.

    I played several noob filled games where at start, 2 scouts, 10 engineers, 10 roffles and a couple grens. Overall, I think that the problems you are having with scouts are from vets who are bored ^_^

    Stuffs easier.

    Scout rifle is rarely a problem. I think I've been killed twice by scout rifle so far.

    Yeah fuckwad, that's the problem.
    It's a fucking shotgun, in a video game that's for close range but most of all every other fucking weapon in the game outranges and outDPSes it.

    You're an idiot if you think you made the shotgun pistol a good weapon.

    Pistol 1 is overpowered, and it seems to just be the NF one. Grens are shooting with perfect accuracy whilst moving (and upwards of 20 damage a shot, mind).

    Although that is not particularly significant given that every other gun in the game does enough damage to kill people faster than they can react.

    Except the scout rifle which comes pretty close.

    for 0.5 second of fire (the time it takes to aim and fire the shotty pistol) there is no weapon dealing the same amount of damage

    im not saying its balanced, im just saying this should be taken into account (since people keep tossing around "dps" while dps is not always a proper way to balance things especially with shotguns)

    I could see an use in the ruins in duststorm, district, urbanchaos, apc rushes, battles inside bases. Combat in emp is closer than some may think.
