Re: why the hate?

Re: why the hate?

it doesnt matter what your style is.

omg the only reason you were "decent" with it before the baur IS BECAUSE ITS HARDER TO USE OMG

theres nothing to debate the voss is a noob gun thats easier to use than all the other ones and the only problem is the fact that just because some people make a game doesnt mean that theyre game is a flawless peice of work it will have flaws, and people will complain about these flaws because its the truth. duhhhh

Get out the dictionary and read over what I read. I clearly stated that the Baur has a steeper learning curve.

Think from a practical point, in real life, why would you want to make a weapon that's unnecessarily harder to use? Of course, this is a game, but I think there's something to be said for simplicity in some cases. Difficult doesn't always mean better, right?

In Real Life arguments in a game discussion. Doesn't that invoke our own special version of Godwins Law?

But to answer your question: Nobody (sane) would make a weapon that is unnecessarily harder to use, but at times there might be a trade-off involved. Compare say a stone axe with a nuclear sub. The axe is more easy to use, but the sub has the edge in destructive power. If they were equal in power then there would be no need for the nuclear sub.

Re: why the hate?

Voss is for teh n00bz0Rs who cant aim, people who need to rely on that extremely large clip, and the ability to just strafe around shooting from the hip knowing your clip is so large and the amount of bullets you've emitted is bound to kill the guy.

Basically it's a hated gun for the shear fact most people use it and it is a really easy gun to wrack up points with.

Now here is where the hypocrisy comes in, as easy and noob as this gun is i cant use it, whenever i get revived with it i will swap or maybe opt for the pistol, but if i ever do have to use it i just think it's sh*t, it is just a spray weapon, when you use your iron sights it really lacks, but i suppose thats another point, noobs who use it dont know how to use the iron sight, whereas im used to playing Scar (Best Gun) and Krylov which shooting from the hip are just pointless and i use the iron sight for everything.

i would really just prefer the default rifles to be somewhat equal with eachother and then the unlock rifles to be somewhat even with eachother caus personally i dont really care about the weapons having these fancy diverse purposes as much as a gun being cooler on the basis of cosmetic/audio qualities.

The guns are equal to each other, i will happily use the Scar i think it's great.

Re: why the hate?

I hate the voss, but when it all breaks down i think the scar and krylov are vastly overpowered and they in fact are the n00b guns

Re: why the hate?

i don't think there are any "noob" guns, the noobs are the people who call everyone else a noob because they die all the time. case closed

the word n00b (with 0) means that the people using the weapon know there being gay but still do it. I dont think most pub people know that the voss is so badly hated in the community



Considered in gaming terms to be a 'newbie' to a game. However there is a difference to a n00b and newb.

A n00b usually thinks they know everything and can't type.

A newbie is a newbie player who seems normal/intelligent

There's a simple explanation for why the Baur's harder to use.

It fires larger-caliber rounds than the SCAR or Krylov, its takes less shots to kill, but also results in more recoil. And who knows, the rounds might be to big to fit 30 in a single magazine, so it's cut down to 20 round magazines for lighter weight and easier reloading.

Re: why the hate?

In my opinion most of the talented players on the battlefield use the voss how its supposed to be used, such as in my case getting around 3-4 kills per round. That's not exactly spraying and praying. I will say that people do use it like that but those are the noobs n00bs newbies or whatever the hell you wanna call em. I think that the krylov is the gun that everyone should be complaining about. I've had some insane rounds with the krylov because by the time the enemy hears the first bullet they have oh i dunno maybe half a second to get even and with a voss in their hands thats most likely not going to occur. I choose to stick with the voss and not use the completely over powered krylov. But its probably just personal preference.

SCAR-11 is what the real pr0s use.

Re: why the hate?

i dont get it: the voss is a good weapon, and yet it is the most hated weapon in the game. yes, i know many n00bs use to to spray and pray, but most dont. i only do that if you are within 3 meters. other than that, i aim.
the other assault rifles beat the voss in everything besides clip size, so why would people hate it?
if you see n00bs spraying, just say they are n00bs and whip them with the krylov or s/t.
so why all the hate?
i for one only use the voss now since im trying to get my k/d r up in that area from a -3.64 when i first unlocked it. now its a -1.24 or s/t, i dunno. if it wasnt for tht i would still be using the krylov.
but i may stay with the voss b/c i like its clip size, so i can go longer w/o reloading.... :salute:

People will hate you unless their beating you, basic child psychology, that is really what you are dealing with, not so much the weapon, it like getting banned for cheating if you are having a good win streak.
