The M79 is a perfectly respectable weapon--as is the Barret and Minigun. If it bugs you that much, just keep your distance on big maps and get better at dodging in small maps.

m79 has no right to be in socom? You mean soldat?

And I disagree. Sure, firing an m79 point blank may be easy, but true skill with m79 is something that is hard to come by. M79 moves slowly, and is easily predictable. To hit an enemy more than a couple of inches away on screen is not noobish at all.

Seriously, if your going to whine like a baby about a weapon, whine like a baby about the barret. Thats what all the other losers do.

I want this stupidity to come to a conclusion.

There is no such real classification as a "noob". The word "noob" derived from "newbie" was just another "1337" show-off. "Newbie" or "noob" was never ever heard until the internet age.

I find that people that don't know squat in the dictionary make up words that don't exist. Plus, the reason on the internet why calling people "noobs" is self-explainatory. Alot of people want to act tough, high and mighty, so they pick on new players.

Wow, that's the best argument I've ever heard. When you use the M79, are you able to do the things with it some people are able to? I highly doubt it. If you say it takes ne skill to use that's a pretty sure sign you get killed by it a lot. Stop whining and take some time to develop some skill and perhaps a strategy to use against M79 users.

Well, sort of...

It should be nerfed a bit, so only skilled players who can shot to the other side of a hill and stuff can use it normally, and only the newbs are left with a rendered piece of crap, if they don't know how to use it, that is.

to use M79 you must be skilled cecourse that weapon is not so easy it shoots differently with the M79 you can experience with amazing moments also the m79 is very usefull maybe you dont like it becourse you cant duel with it that weapon can confuse peoples minds people think that you should run away from a graned that fly on you but people forget that it is just graned,you should run on in i mean if the graned comes from the left side so just run on it run that way that the graned will be behind you then you dont die but the good graneiders can "read" your movements before you are doing them tht called skill if you want to see how much the m79 can be good usefull and cool in the same time take a look on my MOVIE in the fan art forums the movie called "LOL Production"it short but amazing.

There are 3 weapons I think that can successfully counter M79. Ruger, Steyr, and Ak. Not because they're easier to use, but because they're long range vs short range. M79 is only useful for returning flag, or picked up as a secondary in my opinion.

M79 isn't lame as long as you know how to dodge, and what weapons to use.

yes, the m79 shot is quite slow and has an arc, making it such an easy weapon to dodge. But with adequate cover, a good m79 user is most formidable

November 14, 2005, 1:25 am
As an M79 user, I speak for not only myself, but others, by telling you this:

The M79 has a downward curve. Because of this curve, on occassion, you have to move your mouse upward a tad in order for the shot to hit precisely. Not only that, but like Loki pointed out, it is slow moving, and can be avoided easily if you stop moving. However, if you DON'T stop moving, a good m79er would easily be able to kill you. Also, you have to be closer to your enemies in order to get a good shot. Not only that, but the M79 also hurts you if you shoot at someone close up, whereas the barret does not, making the m79 seem more "daring" to use because you are attempting to proceed without full health. The m79 also has a bug, where you hit the enemy dead on, and it sometimes doesn't kill, or even harm them at all.

Now, the barret on the other hand, it has no curve, pretty much all you have to do is follow your sniper line, because of its straight-line bullet. The barret also can easily be used to kill someone no matter where they are on the map, unless a poly is seperating you from your enemy...actually, scratch that, it can kill someone EVEN IF a poly is in the way, my bad.

In conclusion: Don't think I'm hating on the barret, I'm not saying it doesn't take skill. I'm trying to get this fact through that idiot's thick skull: ALL GUNS TAKE SKILL, JUST SOME TAKE MORE THAN OTHERS.

*uncontrolible laughter*

I'm not against Barret and I use it when I feel its a good map for it, but if you're going to say that M79 is a "n00b weapon" then you have to take that stance with all weapons that are one hit kill or close too I.e, law, barret, ruger, shotgun. What you are suggesting is completely idiotic and nonsensicle, not to mention hypocritic. Blow of your steam on boogy man after you get owned by an M79 and not on the forums.

only those who can't dodge m79 shots are the lamest. It is so friggin slow, i can take out two people with a ruger and nades before an m79 nade comes within killing range.

Honestly, im neutral on all weapons, and that is how all players should be. I don't yell 'm79ard!' everytime someone kills me with an m79.

think it's a cheap skill-less weapon? As a former m-79 weaptard, i'd have to disagree, since '1337' players rarely ever come within instakill range lest they are extremely agressive, therefore you have to rely on the arc to take down players. Worst of all, using an m79 is a danger to yourself, and is hard to use continously because of it's single shot capacity. Once you get addicted to the m79, it's hard to use any other weaps (not insulting those who can, but n00bs who start off with the m79 will find it harder l8r on).

and how would you like it if we all flamed you about your 'sniping' skillz. n00bs who don't know how to snipe? well, soldat isn't a 'sniping' game, it's a more of a 'full on, frontal assault, destroy all in your path' game. You do not insult others who do not use the barret, because there are players who are way better than you, and who don't use your '1337' weapon that everyone must use in order to be '1337'.

Camping is not a bad thing, but when you say 'sniping', it almost seems deliberate. People camp when they're busy writing something down, or they're tired, or on the phone, or eating lunch or even when they can't be bothered to assault the enemy base, but they no one spends an entire game 'sniping'.

And for gods sake, make up your mind, is this SOCOM or SOLDAT?

Whining will not get you anywhere, PMing MM will not get you anywhere. Making topics just because you got blasted by an m79 user once too many times is stupid.

WE SHALL NOT REMOVE THE M79 FROM SOLDAT.

DragonSlayer
November 14, 2005, 12:50 pm
no plz remove m79 from soldat it takes much mores kill camping behind a bush and clicking one button for 10 minutes @_@;;!!!


I agree with 117. Although I think that camping is often a bad thing, but it's a valid tactic sometimes. I don't mind people who camp a bit every now and then if they are waiting for the flag carrier or something like that, but when you see someone camping in a single spot for a whole DM round, you just have to think is that even FUN.

Barret does take skill, but so does M79. In my opinion, M79 needs the most skill from all the primaries (SPAS after it). You can get incredibly good shots with it and using M79 for boosting (with or without nades) to kill the opponent with knife or something like that is fun as well. If you think M79 doesn't take skill, I can only think of two scenarios. One, you haven't played with good Soldat players so far. Or two, you tried to use it yourself and the best you could do was to hit when you were as close to the other player as possible, and then you concluded it doesn't need any skill.

I use almost ALL the weapons (Steyr, M79, knife, Barret, Ruger and AK the most) and I have played for a long time and I got a feeling you are just another new player who can get a kill or two with barret and now you think you are good in this game. Get on Quakenet and play with some actually skilled players.

M79 doesnt counter another M79, its merely attempting to use it back as a form of mimic towards its use, thinking you might have the same success with the only factors that can be judged between 2 opposing m79s is the skill of both players with the gun, making itself the ultimate influence on the outcome. M79 doesnt counter itself, it levels the battlefield to skill. [/uber correction]

Well unfortanately, servers are banning the best counter to the m79. Btw, that guy also forgot to mention that barret is the 100% best gun to counter an m79 with. Uber range and damage > Fast reload and insta kill+Splash.

No, it wasn't a litte mistake (it was a huge one), and yes, we can hate you for that.

I'm sure there are several people that have been playing for an extremely long time, but have never joined the forums, joined a clan, or done anything the make themselves known.
