First, let me start off that I consider myself a noob for life.
Since H4 came out, there has been thread after thread about various weapons being overpowered. Take the boltshot for example. Me? I can’t for the life of me figure out how to use that thing effectively, but I’ve seen other getting kill after kill with it.
Rocket launchers? I rarely find them and I still manage the noob mistake of clipping a wall edge, committing suicide.
Sniper rifle? Instant death for me.
DMR, I have found the I am rather effective with it, but truthfully have lost duels with a BR.
I guess what I am getting at is that rather than a lot of weapons being overpowered, maybe there are just those out there that have a skill set with particular weapons, understanding their nature etc. I understand and prefer a certain select number, some being guilty of the “overpowered” nature common among the forums.
Im starting to ramble, but I’m hoping maybe some of you get the gist of where I’m going.
I believe you get a lot of people coming on here and griping about weapons being over powered for a few reasons.
They get completely dominated by something. For me I played Regicide for the first time and won 1st a few games and my tool of destruction was the boltshot most of those games. It’s not too OP of a weapon because if you miss you’re pretty much a goner… But nevertheless they’d be ticked about it.
Ordinance. That right there is probably the main factor. There are probably some fixes that can be done but in the end, you can have either a ally or enemy team all with power weapons.
They just have a bad game and get teamed against a far superior team.
With all that said, the only thing I think is OP besides needed tweaks to ordinance are the DMR. It’s too effective at real long ranges and out kill’s Br’s at close range. Coming from a fellow noob, I’ve never had such ease at getting the final shot to be a head shot.
And stickies in loadouts, I find them being spammed and suicided stuck by the enemies too much, one sticky per should be where it’s at. With having the plasma pistol there’s no excuse needing two stickies as well, just makes people who have anti vehicle loadouts be a walking death trap for vehicles anyway.
DMR is incredibly OP. Same amount of shots to kill as the BR but fires with more accuracy and higher fire rate. It has more aim assist than the Light Rifle which makes the Light Rifle pointless and against the Carbine…well, need I say anything? Many argue its not overpowered but the reality is 4/5 people use it and I can tell you its not because of personal preference. There is no diversity of weapons on the battlefield.
