Laser on Big Team Slayer

Not a QQ thread I was just curious what people thought of this. Id say 75 percent of the time I am killed in a vehicle it is from the Laser on Big Team Slayer. Some games on Ragnarok the Warthogs, Banshee, Ghost are almost unusable due to being blown up by laser almost right away. Is just me or is this weapon around a lot? Or is it when people get it they just camp out some where secure till they can use it? I never use the thing because I have always been terrible with it so I have no idea. Opinions appreciated.

IF your playing a big team battle on ragnorak ur goal should be you or a teammate grabbing the spartan laser and killing the mantis/banshee then just spawn trap and spawn kill all game that map is so crucial to get it
