I'm playing sniper so much more now too, not because the gun is super powerful in the damage department, but rather because it feels the way SMG's should fire. With the bullets straight down the crosshair from my POV, not traveling from the lower right to the crosshair from the muzzle of my gun. Playing any other SMG class now just feels funny and disappointing because the guns don't feel right. _________________ -- LgN\|sfxer - Team Legion - #Legion on irc.tribalwar.com - http://www.the-legion.net --

The Falcon functions just like my weapons in Quake 3 and Quake Live do, where I have 40% accuracy on targets that are randomly moving all over the place with high ROF tracking weapons. In T:A, it's more like 80% accuracy with the Falcon since people aren't able to dodge as well. _________________ -- LgN\|sfxer - Team Legion - #Legion on irc.tribalwar.com - http://www.the-legion.net --

while i like and use the falcon...long term i think it is too much. Perhaps that brute 6 shooter would be more appropriate.

The DPS is comparable to the nova colt, but of course faster rate of fire and fast projectile so its a lot easier to aim. The nova colt is far more punishing if you miss.

Falcon is also much easier to aim because it is the only SMG that fires its projectiles from your POV through the center of the crosshair, not from the lower right out of the muzzle of the gun.

Please read and comment in my thread about it.

It's damage + high rate of fire, combined with the fact that it is so much easier to aim than the other SMGs turns this gun into a beast. I'm playing sniper so much more now too, not because the gun is super powerful in the damage department, but rather because it feels the way SMG's should fire.
