Colt's more viable for attacking people running away from you and it's hitscan. Plasma Cannon is good for indoors and mid-range Shotgun is better for close encounters and it's hitscan. ..huh?

It's barely a tick above the Plasma Rifle. I would prefer the damage and range be ramped up, the fire rate turned down, so it could be a primary weapon, instead of a secondary. They could then delete the Gladiator and refund us all our Gold and XP. As it is, the Plasma Canon isn't even as threatening as a light Spinfusor, which has better range and faster projectiles. _________________ I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

I love the Gladiator though. Those Airmail shots are just absolutely delicious.

It's as if latency has increased but my ping is the same. _________________ "Juggernauts excel at long range bombardment...and devastate with their mortars"? Funny, last I checked nearly every weapon in the game out ranges the mortar. Increase the muzzle velocity on mortars already. Pretty please?

You are entitled to your opinion.
