i think the commando was just a dumb decision, should’ve had the dmr from the start, maybe with the ability to switch between auto and semi. Same with the ravenger maybe replace it with a new plasma repeater that switches between full auto and burst. they should just get rid of the pulse carbine. i think they should add more spike weapons, bring back the spiker, maybe some kind of spike rifle.
It is without doubt the dumbest weapon in the game, just a one shot sniper, you got to have the iq of a peanut to think any sort of skill is required to use it.
IDK i think it takes more skill to get a kill on infantry with a long charge up time. Either way I like the skewer. I like how it feels and how it works. I like sticking a dude across the map with it. I just wish it was more effective against vehicles. Sometimes it take 2 shots to kill a hog.
I do because that’s not what the fuel rod is. It should work how it’s always had instead of getting a new mode of fire out of no where.
Sure. They can. If the rod replaced the ravager it would have to fill in the same roll, so it’s individual shots would be just as weak. The PP is already disliked because it can’t emp anymore, so why would making the the fuel rod less effective be an upgrade?
It also basterdizes the identity and roll of the weapon. Just a bad idea over all.
That’s what i was thinking after i read someone asking them to downgrade a classic weapon.
Where the hell are you getting “less effective” i said no such thing and wouldn’t even suggest it.
ITS AN UPGRADE if any thing the rvenger is a downgraded incineration cannon, the skewer is a down graded spartan laser
The ravager fills a specific roll. To replace the weapon with a fuel rod cannon means that the fuel rod would now fill the ravager’s roll. It would not be more powerful than the ravager. It would just be a green ravager. Or a downgraded fuel rod.
they’re just reworks of previous weapons the only thing somewhat new are the shock weapons,
no but their main gimmicks are the same, clear out an area with damage over time. two things i think would’ve better than the ravenger is either give the charge shot to the fuel rod or make the plasma grenade explode into a pool of burning plasma.
It requires shot-lead, where the Laser was hitscan. By definition, that requires more skill.
Agreed. Or at least it should make sense.
Yeeaaah it’s not honestly much of an anti-vehicle weapon. Like… It’ll one-bang a mongoose (usually) or a banshee and wasp every single time, but tanks? I mean nothing even comes close to one-shotting tanks.
Fuel Rods fire… Hilariously, fuel rods. I’m not sure what brainiac in The Covenant came up with using fuel rods for munitions, but they’re also what the Banshee used to use.
For the alt fire to work, it’d need to be an energy weapon, not an explosive ballistic - which The Fuel Rod is. Definitively. And sure, they could make a Brute Fuel Rod. But it wouldn’t be the Fuel Rod, so to speak.
Come to think of it though I only just now noticed the lack of fuel rod grunts. Huh. Wonder if we’d ever get skewer grunts. That’d be hilarious.
Ravager. To Ravage. It Ravages. Ravenger is not a word. Stop being wrong on purposed.
The Incineration cannon was a terrible weapon for balance purposes. I don’t want it back. Nobody wants that nightmare back. It was too powerful.
Oh I get it, you just want the old look.
That’s kinda’ sad.
Yeah that’s not how it works. The Ravager’s AoE is a DoT area-of-denial that lasts longer than the Shock Grenade. They fill different roles.
The shock grenade is quite frankly too powerful, should arc to two targets max, tbh.
Dude you have said that the skewer is just a one shot sniper and also a spartan laser.
I think you are trying way to hard to make these weapons sound like reworks of other weapons without taking a moment to think about what you are saying.
it takes skill with timing and can kill multiple enemies with a single blast, id probably like the skewer if it at least could pierce through enemies for multikills
they reworked it to be a fusion of the two, it works like a sniper with the single shot power and load time of the laser, probably the only thing missing is piercing damage.
The Spartan Laser requires about as much slapping your hand against a table. It crossmaps and is laser accurate.
Some people argue so long and hard that they end up arguing against their own points in a desperate gamble to be correct. Inconsistency doesn’t matter so long as they win.
