Nerf the M79! Make it 1337 again!

My beloved weapon is to strong in 1.2. Please, nerf it. M79 SHOULD be harder to use because it's cool.

SUGGESTION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT:
Ability to do M79 jumps should stay, but make the bullet speed as it was in 1.1.5.

To many people use M79 now, to many n00bs sticked to M79. To many mediocre M79ers, in 1.1.x every M79er was well known, now it is just a crowd of M79 n00bs. I'm forced to own them with other weapons to convince them not to use M79.

Please, make M79 the same 1337 weapon like it was in 1.1.x.

I agree with aquarius. I used to use m79 much more often on 1.1.5. :P

I would agree...but any participation on my part'll probably make this thread look like a whine.

Yeah, I guess so - I wasn't around for any 1.1.x versions, so sue me.. this version seems alright in weapons balance apart from the weapon that must not be named.. *cough*

Isn't this a topic about weapon balance?

Ammagawd, Aqua, how could you? <_< I don't really care what the M79 is like. I agree that there are a lot more people that use the M79 now, but I use it just as often as I did in 1.1.5, and yes, I still suck with it. <_<

Of course it is well balanced! But because of its coolnes, M79 is overused. That's why it should be weaker. Make the coolest weapon not usable for n00bs! [:D] Make it a pro weapon! Make it 1337 choice again! [;)]

I agree! maybe nerfing it will also stop the newbies from spawncamping us on ctf_Voland and leave it to the real pro's like Doggfather!

well, I guess for the sake of arguement, I'll disagree. Michal isnt an eletist, he wanted a broader audience to be able to play soldat, so he toned a few things down, and a few things up, and thus, the m-79 was changed, (and on the third day, god made light, and it was good) the ability for anyone, from the noobs, to the 1337's, to be able to use the -79 is fine, at least the noobs arent being *gun that shall not be mentioned*tards, at least they're trying new things. I like the -79 how it is, it's slow enough that if somone arc's it, you can roll outta the way, but fast enough to catch somone by surprise.

I did that for arguements sake, and arguements sake alone. I personally dislike the new "trend" of nading everything till it's turned to bloddy powder, but I deal.

lol... I like nades, mostly because I can slice people up in mid-air with them. I like the M79 no matter what it's like. It's just fun to use, that's all.

Learn to use something else if you're so worried. And, yes, it is about weapon balance.

Whatever, I will use minigun+chainsaw. I'm going to own all those little 1.2 m79tards, who couldn't handle M79 in 1.1.5.
