The high ammo count(w/o upgrades), RoF, reload speed, lack of recoil/significant spread &or fall-off for automatics makes them just too d*** efficient when coupled with their damage per shot. Aside for that, there's nothing rewarding about using one when you ratatat someone to death with little challenge. Rather use a Spinfusor when I can(or something like it). Spinfusors themselves could use some adjustment, too. Maybe we could get that 100% inheritance across the board(bar snipers)...and mayhaps I'll evolve into a speedling and eat everyone.

A rocket is already VERY HARD to shoot at pathfinders as the lock time is long and the locking mechanism is crap to say at best. 2. The rocket is slow moving, easy to evade. _________________ This game is broken beyond repair. Hey Spinfusor.org, I want my deleted post back ^^ Loach for president!

C.

The SMG's basically aren't SMG's. They're miniguns with small clips.

The damage fall-off and accuracy should both take large hits on pretty much everything other than the Chaingun and both AR's.

What are you smoking? The falcon molests everything within 10 yards of a sentinel.
