Shotguns beat everything with corners and cover. This is both why you see so many in asylum and is as it should be. The trade off for the shaw is mobility for range. Its not that SMGs are better, just that they are lower skill. And if youve played apb for long, you should know fight club is all about the path of least resistance. And Asylum especially there is no reason to sacrifice mobility for range as the map simply doesnt require it. But in a 1v1 cqc battle, if your shaw loses to an oca, the oca player is just better than you. In a 1v1 shotgun battle without cover, same goes for shotguns. tl;dr SHAW is better but requires more skill to balance it

The ALIG is meant to be AV. It fills that role in a team squad. IMO it should not ALSO be viable as AP as well. SHAW is a cqc beast, better than both SMGs and shotguns. Asking for it to be just as good outside of that range makes about as much sens to me as asking for shotguns or SMGs to do the same. Its already better than them at range, so IMO its fine. Medusa already has an insanely fast ttk (.59), PLUS it has a 70m dropoff that thanks to its unique mod it is actually useful at. Absolutely no reason to make this better. From my perspective, the only LMG that maybe be a little too strong (especially with HB2) is the N-SSW. But again, this is not a gun you see in high level gameplay, so Im not too concerned about it anyways.

Fair enough. And thank you for the blog. I haven't been this excited since the acquisition.

Any chances we can get the actual shotgun ranges? Or is the reduction in range in comparison to what is live?

This is how excited the 3.5 news has made me.

"This is likely where we will open up access to the PC Unreal 3.5 version for Premium players on a special version of OTW, so we can start beta testing and collecting bug reports." For real, that 3.5 news is exciting as shit!

That's a good point. I cannot argue against that.

I'm not sure these statements are compatible, but I do respect your passion.

RIP Well I guess all that's left to do is hope there are players left by the time 3.5 rolls around. I wish you luck.

Revert the per ray damage scale of shotguns immediately. Dont completely ruin the CSG with this asinine new ttk.

Thanks Hex.

So... this is just for fun then? I mean, if you've already decided, that is.

Yes.

We prefer to call it Han 2.0

Why else would they pick it? Wont be the first time they ignored the community.

Source? Is there another forum Im not aware of?

Remember though it was morning for him since I think he is still in England... so not sure if tomorrow US time or tomorrow EU time.

I think they have been week long so far?

The test districts have been up for long enough, unfortunately nothing was done to get anyone to actually use them, and you know me... Im on daily hoping to find anyone willing to try.

is anyone else slightly concerned by this? Yes. A few hours of testing seems woefully inadequate. /shrug

dang it I worded it rude sorry I just woke up. All good homie, we cool.

More than I should have, but I see your point.
