PRE-RELEASE NERF PETITION: Plasma / Cluster Grenade Your video has done nothing but show us that these weapons are too strong compared to other weapons in the game. That new grenade, though cool, does WAY too much damage considering the area it coveres. That s*** needs a nerf, pronto or people are probably gonna stop playing for a week or so until the noobs calm down. Plasma. I never thought I would see the day where having plasma was almost as bad as not having plasma. That weapon is supposed to be a secondary with like max 350 damage, not a primary dealing 500.

Plasma.
