What do you guys think about the pulse rifle? In my opinion, it's equal to the smg, just a spray and pray kind of a weapon. Except of course for the combine ball, that requires more skill. Now apparently, based on the points given for a kill with a pulse rifle in the ranking system, the pulse rifle takes more skill than a smg. This is not another rant at the points system, but I am just wondering why this difference is in place.

Good question. I think it can be a bit more difficult what with the kickback it has. I don't like it much. Makes a nasty sound. Very Happy

But it is lovely for the orbs. Beautiful, lovely, shiney orbs. mmmmmmm.

Doesn't it have a smaller clip size and a more annoying sound

I dont like it, I´m not very effective with it. its a hard to use weapon, if you are bad with it a weaker enemy with the smg is stronger than you.

I think it gives more points because it's harder to find. It's not like there's plenty of Pulse rifles laying around everywhere.

It balances out pretty well with the smg, it may have a smaller clipsize/max ammo, but it reloads fast. It recoiles more, but it does more damage. So the point system rewards finding the rifle more than the skill it takes to use it?

one thing I wonder is, can there be ball spam in killboxes? I know using it too much in lockdown etc. is very bad but what about killboxes, you need some good skill to use it well.

I have no problem with the ar2 rifle I don't see it as a weak SMG.
I don't know why some people don't like the ar2 rifle, they will run out of weapons to choose from soon. Laughing

I agree with Shimmy on this one. The sound is vicious. Especially when backed by 800 watts of simulated 6.1 surround sound. hehe

But my fav is still the crack of the mag. grr

I haven't read the rest of the thread, but I'm all for the AR2... then again, I'm all for the SMG and the RPG as well.....anyway, any weapon has it's place in this game, and discriminating against any weapon is just plain silly....

Same goes for all weapons, RPG and SMG haters......yeah....I said it....RPG and SMG are legit....if you can't take em down, that's your problem...no need to ruin others fun for your ideals....

That's all I'll say about that....all weapons ftw!

If you can't take it, suck it up, buttercup....

All other things being equal, the rifle is win against the smg every time.
I like the sound it makes, that chugging sound.
It sounds much better than the annoying SMG.

The pistol sounds pretty bad also, but is a great undervalued finisher, or even longer range attack if your good with it.

Running the High Rez textures and the orbs look AWESOME- bluish and shiny.

Ohh yes, i remember that. Very stupid sound. It sounds like a pneumatic press rather than a weapon.

Phat Bacon · Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 01:02 Post subject:

i consider it a more powerful smg with a cool sound. the best part is the orbs. but this is old news.

i think it it worth more points because using it isnt against the rules to join tsgk. why isnt it against the rules? i have no flippin clue Very Happy
