I personally think that the energy weapon should be changed. It has the ablility to take someone out of a VS. It juggles the person hit by it so the person using it can charge it again and guarantee the kill without really aiming. You can not roll away from it. It works from any distance. Already this weapon is being exploited in ranked games. One person can get this weapon and go to an enemy's spawn and single handedly win the game in a very short time. I feel that this weapon will kill the long term appeal of the game. In america the game has only been out for about a month and already I have noticed I never even get the chance to have a machine gun battle with an enemy anymore. Everyone is collecting the homing weapons and snipers and camping the back of the maps getting kill after kill with little to no effort.

So I ask the public to voice their oppinions about this weapon.

I've done it countless times. Though for some reason many times I tend to roll way too early. Having done it so many times I still don't know why I'm twitchy with this

The small shots though are really annoying.

I still say that it is overpowered.
It sould take more than two shots. I've even been killed with one shot and with full life, although it has never worked for me. The only reason I say this is because not only is it homing but also take a player out of a VS and from and distance. I would like it if it was a little weaker or did not travel as far. If it didn't knock you down it would balance it out a bit. It is just too easy to juggle with this weapon.

I have to agree that it a bit over powered but really if you get the roll timing right or hide behind a decent amount of cover you can avoid most of those traceable energy weapons. My problem is that the energy gun imparticuler which, with about as little as a 2 second charge time , not only traces but does about 3/4 of a life bar of damage and can eject a person from thier VS. Come on now....

I think it's pretty fair as a weapon, it's good for taking someone out of as mech, is useless unless fully charged and if you know the right moves can be over taken fairly quickly, that said the only gripe I have is the tiny mechs in pirate fortress at the bottom they cant change into cyles, and they're far to slow /  can't jump high enough to mount a decent counter attach plus they don't have the missles like the top mech has, as if the top position needed anything else to win they are already closer to 4 out of 5 data post's, the sniper rifle, homing laser, and the plasma gun, plus there's hardly any decent snipoing location at the bottom that provides decent cover.

ah yes... inexperience clouds your vision... for with the power of the dark side of the force, you can dodge the booger gun.

Ok the nubbin is right.
I am inexperienced at running and hiding from opponents.:p
Seriously you all can say what you want but the weapon is too easy to use. And to those that camp spawn points with it you are the bottom feeders of LP. I bet none of you stand a chance on elemination with only a machine gun.
