bean- Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi all, Is it just me, or do other players think that the Spy guns are way too powerful on the two 100% crits servers. We have players running around uncloaked killing player after player, all over the map - I often get killed by a spy shooting from right accross the map, for example. The Spy gun is as powerful as a fully scoped sniper rifle! I sometimes play as Spy, but even I am amazed at my kill rate. It's so easy to pick players off at a distance, like a fully-powered, but un-scoped sniper rifle. It's too easy, though, so I keep the Spy gun killing to a minimum, unliek some others - ha Still, there are some players who just love running around as uncloaked spies shooting, then cloaking if it gets a bit hariy, then uncloaking for some more killing, then a quick cloak for ... You get the idea Damn those nasty spies What do other players think? Should the spy gun be reduced in power, if it can be? Or, just leave it as it is? Perhaps it's just one of the vargaries of the 100% crits mod, and I should stop moaning? Questions, questions bean$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajolt Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Crits are damage enhancers, of course they'll be overpowered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bean- Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) OK - I'll name, names. It's [edit - decided not to name, names] he just spends hours running around shooting players, as an uncloaked Spy. It's why he gets accused of hacking so much. It does get a bit boring having to avoid his constent spy-gun shooting. It takes next to no skill, and he's a really good sniper, so I can only think he does it for points. I've tried to ask him to at least limit his running around shooting, as a Spy, but he's not interested in making it anything other than a lame experience. I can kill him, but it's just, like for me: Oh, no not again! I'm at the back of the map (as sniper) shooting him all the time - I just use the 150hp set-up so he can't kill me with one shot. But, it does not matter how many times I get him, he just carries on - FOR HOURS! Players want me to ban him, but he's not cheating. Players often then disconnect. Any chance the Spy gun can be reduced in power? It would stop people just running up and down the map, uncloaked shooting. If not, I'll just have to live with [Edit] (s') style of playing bean$ Edited January 1, 2013 by bean- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean- Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Ha, almost like he was proving me wrong, he spent the last session mostly as a Sniper! bean$ Edited January 1, 2013 by bean- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR. B!LL Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think the same goes for scouts as well, they too are over powered.If this is the case then all classes should be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean- Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Scout is OK, as it's normally played by the less able player. Gives it a bit of an edge for me, as a sniper. Otherwise, scouts are merely sniper fodder at best. bean$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
