put it this way if you don't like the fact in facing someone who jumps around double shooting with a rifle more than likely you will have a shotgun/machine in your hand you, then immediately you have an advantage over the player with the rifle so to be honest i don't see what all the fuss about, and there is not a chance in this world that colonies has 2.3million players online lmfao

Do you seriously believe that a player with a machine gun or shotgun has an advantage over a double shooting rifleman? The advantage is ovbiously with the player with the rifle.

1) The amount of damage the rifle does is higher per shot as opposed to the machine gun.
2) The rate of fire while using a trick like double shooting is broken. A child could tell you that.

If you combine the two, you have a  powerful weapon (damage per shot) that is basicaly capable of rapid fire. A machine gun, nor a shotgun, could compete with such a broken tool. Dont bother trying to defend a flawed weapon.

It is irrelavant how many players are on either LP. The fan's goal ont the forums is to make LP2 fun for everyone. Not just the fans that who want their blankie back. Adding an outrageously broken firing method breaks the balance, and you certainly dont want to counter that by adding more broken weapons/methods of play.

Didn't you read Deaco's warning about discussing double shot rifles or whatever on this topic?

Make a new topic called "flame wars over LP weapons that should or shouldn't be in LP2" or something like that.

 

Anyways back on topic: Is the anchor also supposed to do damage when you shoot it at something like a friend? because I shot mine a few times after each other into my friend and after hit number five or so, he got smacked on the ground.

Depends on who your shooting at.
The grapple knockdown was in Lost Planet 1, and you could knock over human sized targets, and certain Akrid could be killed by the grapple itself.

As for the grapple doing damage to other snow pirates? As of the LP2 demo, no it justs knocks people down, if you really want to kill somebody with the grapple, then knock a person off a cliff into the deep end of the waterfall with it. Funny stuffs

as far as i know, you can reload anything while hanging except for the rocket launcher.

Nope, you can reload the rocket launcher as well. I was the first loadout and was able to do it no problem, always knew I could do it too. It looks really cool. Your character sticks his foot out and wedges the rocket launcher between his hand and the top of his foot and reloads it!

nah im not trolling i was just stating my opinion about the rifle and other people disagreed so i replyed to there opininon its just a harmless debate no need to start threatening people is there zero and just to state this out you of all people played rifle on lp1 but yet i never saw you on colonies as much as you were on lp1? may i ask why?

You never saw me in Colonies? you must not have been looking very hard at all, I played to many games to count in Colonies I wouldn't have the level I have unless I played it alot.

But it is true I spent most of my time in EC mainly because once colonies came out all the Idiots and kids left the game and it was just New comers and Pros but this is not about my history this is about feed back so lets keep it on topic shall we.
