And I'm not even sure how to respond to your posts. Rolling is hardly ever the best tactic to avoid a sniper, seeing as you're the most vulnerable at the end of a roll. A decent player will be able to hit someone in a battle a lot of the time.

He never claimed that you were agreeing with him, your statement about pumping actives merely proved his point.

What *bleep*ing bandwagon? He has a point, sometimes you say things that just make people go, WTF? I told you most of the nubs of the forum are the ones that just go along with things, Ali is a pretty smart kid that can think for himself and knows what he is talking about. Don't start this everytime somebody disagrees with you.

You said you get actives then you said how it's easy to avoid them from other people, Justin responded the first time saying it's typical of somebody that get's actives to say they are easy to avoid, and you went on to state that you get actives and they are easy to avoid, proving his point. Maybe he doesn't like repeating himself?

I could care less what they do with actives, as long as the sniper isn't as easy to down people with.

And anyway, I'll bet both my gaming thumbs that whatever new weapon they bring out, will be able to down in 1 shot and people will complain about that anyway.

Why doesn't anybody complain about active Shotgun, Boltok, Lancer or Torque bow? Active Boltok downs in 2 shots if you hit them right, shotty just rapes, Torque Bow can be charged up in 3 seconds and lodged in a person's urethra, and when a person is downed by machinegun it's always the "Host Lancer" and never Active Lancer.
Hammerburst rapes ass as well.


I really don't see any good way of them changing Actives without pissing somebody off. The best they can do is strip the gun's of their damage boost or half the time for actives so they can only be used then and there.

People constantly complain about Shotgun actives, as well as Lancer actives. People don't tend to complain about the Torque because it's hard to tell the difference, and hardly anyone uses Boltok.

The only differance I saw was when shooting a wall that someone was behind.

Wait, so the Sniper is about as easy to aim as the Torque Bow, yet it's only the Sniper you're bitching about? Torque Bow has splash damage, if you completely miss the person you're aiming at and hit the wall next to them, you'll still badly hurt them, even kill them? Why aren't we whining about the Torque Bow? It's just as easy to kill with.

No wonder people think you suck at Gears, Justin (bumface). That's right, you're a bumface. The active sniper is nothing special, keep it the way it is. If they implement your idea, i'd like to see how many people actually pick up the sniper. Alot less will. Why bother picking it up when the only way you can kill them is with a headshot? Too much effort when you can just run in with your shotty.

Nobody says I suck, kid, but nice try at a childish insult.

Why do you want to completely eliminate the sniper?
And play Gears some more Justin, an active Torque near to a player will mince them.

And will you stop straying off the subject? You seem to just throw insults about and when I make a joking pass at them you go apeshit. It's creepeh .

Seeing that a torque takes about 4 seconds to power up enough to stick, while an active torque takes half a second. I'm going to just throw the idea out there and say that that is a pretty big difference.

An active torque-bow shot in the ground WILL NOT kill a fully-healthy player.

As I already asked, why you are comparing the two weapons? One weapon fires an exploding arrow, and the other is a *bleep*ing bullet. The torque bow is meant to stick to an opponents body, so there is no reason to complain if a player stick someone in the leg. It takes more accuracy as well, since there is no scope and requires quicker vision.

For the weapon it is (sniper), and its main use (HEADSHOTS!), the active is too powerful. It reduces the weapon to a close-combat item at times, which is ridiculous.

I'll propose something here. 1v1, Clocktower. Your Host. You can only get sniper headshots, and I can only use boltok. No melee's, no Actives.

The boltok is a weak weapon, and i'll lag like hell so you'll have plenty of time to headshot me. You'll see how damn hard it is to not shoot an active once.



And don't think i'm starting on you, i'm trying to prove mah point.

Woudo, what was the point of any of that nonsense? Honestly, that has nothing to do with anything?

Nobody is talking about removing actives, and everyone knows that only tools proprose 1v1 battles.

You make no sense, kid. Sorry. I make a great rebuttle and you say almost nothing in response.

A sniper is used to get headshots, and if you're unable to get them, you shouldn't be able to pump off a round in able to down an opponent. There's other weapons in the game, so get used to ones that person is better suited for.

Shesh.

That's what i'm trying to prove. If you can only kill them with a headshot (Providing you don't have teamhelp) why would people pick it up? It's just not worth dropping the powerful machinegun with the new nifty chainsaw for some pointless popgun.
