I'm level 6 at Supportstill I think it sucks.. It's hard to kill enemies at mid-long range, the shotguns can't take down any big enemies without risking the whole team to get those fp arms up the arses.
I'm talking Suicidal here
...
Except that you can take out Scrakes with the hunting shotgun after shoftening them up with something else first, AND its not that bad against a fleshpound either. Plus, EVERYTHING ELSE goes down from a single hunting shotgun (double barrel) blast. So what the hell are you talking about? What is "mid-long" range? Shotguns are close range weapons.
And yeah this is also based on suicidal experience, I dont play other difficulties much.
I've only played on Suicidal as long as I've played the game
...What?
So the situation is this:
1. Either you played on nooby servers running Doom2 or similar
or
2. You grinded or bought your levels somewhere so you basically started as lvl 6 on all perks
or
3. You played on "real" suicidal servers with level zero perk, kept dying all the time until you reached some level beetween 3 to 6, and while doing so you ruined the game for everyone on the same server for the month or how ever long it took. And I HATE it when people do this.
Because, no matter how good you are, you simply cant survive on suicidal games with lvl 0-3 perk unless you have a VERY good team. I consider myself a good player and I would have trouble with low level perks too. In fact Ive NEVER seen a lowlevel survive on suicidal. And thats only because low level means you are new to the game, and if you are new to the game you simply cant perform good enough. Its like going to a new job, its not like you would know exactly what to do at the first few weeks of being there.
People who reseted their perks are another thing ofc, since they have most likely hundreds of hours of experience behind them.
*sigh*
Let me spell it out for you again.
Support Specialist - is - close - range - perk.
It does MUCH better than the commando on close combat situations, if theres a group of specimens in front of you, some of them being husk/bloats/sirens and what not, I guarantee that Support can take them all out faster than the Commando does. One shot from Hunting Shotgun and BOOm they are all down. Commando would have to either waste his clip on body shots or take time aiming to the head, either way it takes much longer and is less efficent than the shotguns.
So basically, the only thing Commando does better is long-range fighting, where Support is almost useless. Just because you dont know how to play with the perk doesnt mean its bad.
Yeah, so whats the point in making it run on battery? Either have it, or dont have it. Imo its pretty useless anyway because if you are spamming with the weapon you most likely dont even have time to see the red dot. So if you remove the lasersight they are still going to hipfire with it, maybe not as accurately but who needs accuracy if the weapon kills with bodyshots too.
