Why is there whining about the secondary mode? No one uses that anyway...

I think ALL HA is overpowered, you should never be able to kill someone so quickly with any hand-held weapon.

I agree. I think that the Sweeper and Rocklet had enough ttk to suit close combat situations nicely, yet still creating a situation where MAXs are actually needed as a form of shock tooper for battles. However the Devs seemed to lack the will to do what they ough have done and nerf the original Jackhammer down to where the other HA was at the time. This was a mistake and gave Planetside an all too much Quake-like feel to it. Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle and there isnt any going back

I don't think HA is over powered since it takes 6 cert points to get it.

I dont think its the cert points that bother folks. Rather it is the Quake-style, instagib aspect of gameplay it creates.

I find your reliance on blaming it all on the Jackhammer shortsided Queen. I for one remember when it was reffered to as the Joke Hammer.

But yet you look for the quick simple answers and continualy, point back to the jackhammer. ANyone who disagrees with you is A) wrong B) makes you roll on the floor laughing.

Ummm, that was beta. Nobody has called it that since a week before release.

One shot of Jackhammer alternate fire can kill anything up to Reinforced Armor. I wish my MCG could do that.

I voted Jackhammer was overpowered, mainly because of surge monkeys. Try to kid yourself all you want, but nobody uses surge+HA nearly as much as the NC (Nearly everybody has surge, that's beside the point. What I'm referring to is Standard/Agile+Surge+HA aka "Surge monkey", the NC dominate this statistic by a wide margin).

The Mini-Chaingun is well balanced in my opinion. Since the balance patch, I can't think of any reason this could be considered underpowerd. Possibly the amount of ammo it consumes, but that's to be expected with a chaingun.

The lasher, I voted as underpowered, but only because it needs a slightly larger clip. All it needs is maybe 5 more shots. I'd even accept a slight damage nerf if they'd just give it a larger clip!

I don't think the HA weapons are unbalanced by themselves. I think the imbalance is created when HA weapons are combined with surge that lets them run very quickly for a long time. I don't think that you can call something balanced when it's powerful and extremely fast.
