Plasma Rifle

[RKS117]

Playing the new v6 Foundry testing maps, I've noticed the presence of a plasma rifle. This wasn't in any MLG maps before and I think it's too powerful for MLG. It takes three shots to make somebody one-shot with a plasma rifle and only takes out 1% of its ammo. Any thoughts? :???:

I prefer the Mauler to be honest. Just powerful enough to be taken seriously, but still weak.

Most v6 maps are open tho right? Just sayin no point to use it with a BR being shot at you. Im sure its nothing to worry about.

I havnt tested it out yet.
I dont think it will be too powerful though.

I haven't tested it either, but I don't think it will be too bad.

Eh...I think its a trade off...the plasma pistol traces slightly, the plasma rifle doesn't...so in order to get it to work you gotta actually aim...

I dunno...we'll see how things go. Personally, I'm for the plasma rifle...

Haven't tested it but I think it would be sick to test on non foundry maps as well.

Heh, first it's underpowered and not worth picking up, now it's overpowered. These forums RULE.

Im not a fan of it, It is over powered IMO. The mauler is fine plus T2 would be distraught if the mauler was taken out :(

After speaking with Killa KC on the subject, he stated he has no problems with the plasma rifle and if it helps gameplay on your map, use it. I have an updated version of Unleashed with two plasma rifles. These were added to the map to be a perfect counter to the(now) two OS's, thus improving gameplay. The weapon also does not get overused or become nubbish at all either. It really promotes assisting battles and requires a better technique to use skillfully, especially as the range between the players increases.

I see no problems with the Plasma Rifle. It's actually quite a good substitiution for the mauler on certain maps. I think it would work well on the Pit. I know it works well on Unleashed because while still being a powerful CQB weapon, its also useful as a team shooting weapon due to it's shield dropping abilities.
