[quote=“Amerika;141274”][quote=“ProfPlump;140930”][quote=“Amerika;140912”]I have zero issues with the accuracy from hipfire of the revolvers because of how I pace my shots. Am I getting, “max dps”? Nope. Am I still finishing people off faster with a bigger chunk of life lost per shot I made sure would hit? Yup. Finishing a player with almost no HP in a big chunk with an aimed and accurate shot is better than spamming a button and chunking them down IMO.
People love the M9 because you can shoot it really fast and not worry about how you’re pacing your shots and it’s mag efficiency is pretty good. But if somebody is sitting at 25% HP I want a S&W so i can fire 1-2 shots and focus on my next target. I think giving them even more damage than they are capable of now would make them ridiculously good. And I already find them extremely good as it is.[/quote]
If the Magnums truly were extremely good and were better than sidearms with higher firerate, slightly lower DPS and high magazines, then NOBODY would pick the MO11 Vassili loadout over the MO93 (since MO93 has better augments but has a magnum instead of an MP400). (And I’m talking about the pub players and comp players here - everyone uses the M011 simply because it has the better sidearm instead of the S&W).
I really think your opinion is highly unpopular. Doesn’t 100% mean you’re wrong, but I’m definitely not sold.[/quote]
I am highly confused by your response. We are talking about pistols here I thought and not pistols vs. machine pistols. If I knew we were including the MP400 or even the Tolen/Emp9 then I would have said that, by comparison, the magnums are a bad option. Everyone takes MO11 because it has the MP400 and good augments.
So are we talking about revolvers here compared to other pistols or are we including machine pistols that really shouldn’t be in the same category?
Also, the revolvers are good at taking down large chunks of HP in a finishing situation when fired correctly. Many times when I see people fire them they are pulling the trigger as fast as possible and never hit anything. So depending on your perspective, which is based entirely on how you fire, dictates how “good” many people think they are. It’s like when people try try to say that Phantom is bad simply because they have problems meleeing people. I’m not saying you fire it incorrectly but I am pointing out how a person fire leads to how successful they are with it compared to the smaller pistols where you fire as fast as you can click.[/quote]
Fair point - I was just using the Mo11/Mo93 as an example because it’s a loadout choice that relies heavily on another sidearm being better than the revolver - not a lot of loadout choices are determined so heavily by the secondary weapon (usually it’s primary weapon and augment based).
But I do know how to use the magnums right. In fact, the hardest thing for me to learn now is for me to run TOWARDS my target while using the magnums, since they’re much more effective in those close ranges, rather than reversing and strafing like I do with other weapons. I also don’t just spam it, even in ADS (unless the target is standing still, say, repairing/disarming/arming and objective). I’m still learning more and more ways to use it more effectively, but I’m not stupid enough to be trying to use it like an SMG and then complaining when it doesn’t work the same way lol.
But I see what you’re saying about the fact that it requires a different set of skills, playstyles and strategies - all I’m saying is that even with using it properly, it still isn’t rewarding enough in my opinion, and it still comes down a fair bit to RNG, even when you’re using it right. I still think it needs to be a little more accurate, less spammy, and very slightly more range.
