Macro users are at a significant disadvantage.

Not only do they fail to learn how to use a basic video game mechanic that's been around since at lease the original NES, but they have no ability to hold their fire if the target moves out if solution during the charge phase.

It's funny when a macro user complains about the charge. Funny as in "I am laughing at you, not with you."

Only "bads" think a macro makes you "get gud" with gauss.

I would rather have had them keep increasing the CD to make the DPS terrible.

Its way more fun to use as a gauss sniper than a guass bow.

This, actually... As a sniper weapon higher cooldown would mean the AC 10/20 would still be better 'big punches' for closer distances with the ability to fire more often. Gauss wouldn't be entirely useless at close range but would not be an ideal brawling weapon due to the high cooldown then.

I think this is just a case of perception (i.e. a lot of people use macros) vs. reality. I doubt macro users are that many.

its easy as hell to get. Im betting here are more than you think

No like.
From my other post:

• Charge mechanic has been restored.
Gauss charge literally shelved gauss for me.
Now because other people sought to use this synergisticaly, I am penalized for using it standalone. I never meta. Very dissapointed. I would rather a 10 second cooldown rather than charge for my style of play. Why not a check box for charge.Yes gets no explode shorter cool. No gets explode and longer charge? Good effort otherwise.

Why can't they hold their fire? I think you don't know how the gauss macro works.

guess u've never had ur finger slip durning a charge losing ur target which by the time its recharged is long gone

or because of the charge u ether fire to soon or to late whether u hit not mattering because if u under charged it the damage is worthless or u just plain missed

Never felt the need to use a macro, not that I'm Vasily Zaytsev with the Gauss or anything.

Are you able to stop the charge up with a macro once started? If so...feel free to link to one like that and I'll start using it to see how it is.

Evidently Russ loves the charge mechanic and thinks it adds to the game.

I do not think Russ cares about the charge up. When it was taken off there was a lot of players complaining about it becomine a "no skill" weapon. Check out the post in the PTS forums and some of the post in this thread and you will see a few of them.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease and they made a lot of noise. Personally I could not care less one way or the other.

lol what?

So you use streak instead of SRM 'cuz you missed a few shoots?
If you want point an click, you can use lterally any weapon besides streaks and lrm. heck, you can even use lrm to dumbfire.

I'll stick with it, last thing the game needs is more point and click ez mode.

No other iteration of MW had charge. Find another way to delink it. I play without having to be penalized, yet I still am penalized.

So let them. Ultimately, they're worse off for it anyway. Unless of course you both disagree.

That is not a good argument.

[HammerMaster]

That is not a good argument.


If you read my statement, you would see it is an attempt to delink and control alpha which does not apply to me. I should not have to charge a single rifle. I shelved gauss with the inception of charge. Give me a choice as a mixed build, non-alpha abusing, non-meta user.

[Saint Scarlett Johan]

The only macro for gauss I've seen that was worth a damn was: click to charge then click to fire. My mouse is programmable to do just that. I can't stand it though, I'd rather hold to charge, release to fire.

[Tombs Clawtooth]

The only part of charge that bothers me is the small window they supply you before the shot is canceled.

If it was about a second longer, it would feel a little more natural instead of like playing those games where you have to smack the button as the lights spin around the dome. (Cyclone)
