They give people a free shotgun from the start now.

So that's a thing.

The starter guns in ps2 are some of the best weapons in the game. There is no real p2w in planetside.

The Gauss-SAW for example also known as, "The Godsaw". 200 damage per torso hit making it a 5 hit kill against players who didn't equip small arms resistance. Once you learn to compensate for recoil, it's an absolute beast.

The Orion "MLG Incarnate" and the CARV "bottomless mags at 750 RPM" aren't exactly slouches either.

What I tell newbs is that if you are dying a lot it isnt your weapons fault.

I was actually referring more to vehicle weapons. I should of made that clearer. But yea I know most of the starter infrantry weapons are normally the best. But what I was trying to say is that ps2 should of added different weapons instead of just 1 or 2 weapons that are superior to the rest. Which i'm hoping EC differentiates from.

HEAT is probably my most used Prowler turret.

I have a bigger problem with the fact that all of Planetsides guns are boring as hell

I really hope bolters and deffguns etc, are more visceral and fun in EC

I really enjoy using the guns in planetside 2. I dont play as the dirty xeno loving Vanu so maybe thats what Im missing as boring guns.

Soo.... show of hands: who thinks we'll see EC launched before PS 2 gets the mythical "Galaxy Update"?
