Is it just me, or did 2.2 break rifles?

Melee has always been borked.

 

It seems that we forgot to compensate melee for lag somehow.

 

IMHO the devs didn't balance the weapons.

Every single weapon has such a slow ROF it might as well be a semi auto. Infantry combat is no longer any fun in Empires.

The game play has slowed down so much, that it isn't any fun.

No other FPS has weapons that shoot like this. The reason: It doesn't work or make logical sense.

 

Empires is not every other FPS, and thankfully so.

No other FPS shooters have commanders, engineers that run around building walls and radar, squad ablities, ect... There's an abundance of strategy that does not revolve around weapon combat alone.


If the only thing you can wrap you're head around is how your gun works, find a different game to play, you're whining is not wanted. Go play counterstrike and brag about how many kills you have.

 

That's Impolite.

 

The rifles weren't ever balanced better than they are now. Remember 1.07? BEAR was superior. In 2.12, the NFAR was superior. Now, no weapon is actually superior. You only have to use the right weapon for the right situation. I heard many people saying that the BECAR sucks ass. Try it on long range. I was able to kill lots of enemies on mid-long range with the BECAR.
Weapons are fine, its just that you can't be the onemanarmy on your team anymore.

 

You should use ironsights more often now. We fixed a bug that caused weapons to have worse accuracy than in scripts.

 

pppffff NFAR rocked BEARs ass like a motherfucker it just wasn't a noob spray and pray laser like the bear

 

go troll some other place, noob
there are few mods like empires in some aspects
U forgot that its an RTS for TWO guys sitting in monster trucks
Its not the ONLY thing to wrap and blabla , its the one thing thats seriously broken in current state, and cut the frag stuff if u have no idea what was the gameplay about back then

/raeg

Yeah well Becar at long range? no good sirs as it does nearly no dmg at all with big falloff

 

BEHR > NFAR.
any day any time.

l2use BEHR :p

edit: the lethality on BEHR was better but NFAR was more spray-without-thinking friendly.

 

If someone was good with the BEHR, he did better with the NFAR.

 

BEHR was better for kill whoring with its huge clip size but 1v1 NFAR was better.

 

BEHR = 2-3hit kill in torso.

 

Naw it's fine, I saw some really good use of the BECAR on yesterday's scrim, it's pretty damn deadly at range

 

Not that is overly relevant, but eth0 fixed pistol1 for NF. It did 3000 damage per shot on the BSID server. It was like 4 people coming out of a rax and you're like lolololol pistolraep.
