The spinfusor nearly makes it the whole way across on Crossfire but not quite. The Plasma projectile already disappears a lot sooner than the sf round does. In fact, it currently DOES ONLY GO ACROSS 1/2-1/3RD OF CROSSFIRE. _________________ "Juggernauts excel at long range bombardment...and devastate with their mortars"?

Just because you still can get kills after the patch, doesn't prove much. You may very well be just as effective when using the Arx Buster.
