amen loop.
I think you're going to get people that are angry for the most part because they can't use surge with weapons in scenarios like this: You hope off a base wall and see 3 guys a ways down the wall running. You're equipped with only an MCG. What do you do now? No surge so you won't catch em. You're creaping up on snipers, and you want to close the gap quicker, but an enemy knows where you are and is shooting at you. It's gonna take a lot longer time now, and you can't return fire. You're trying to avoid enemy fire and still return some. Can't do it as easily now. Surge has many practical uses that don't involve warping, but do involve having your weapon out. This was not the way to fix it. If anything at least allow people to carry any weapon aside from HA while surging. I dunno, but it seems like they are jipping people of an implant that has many good, tactical uses other than warping. |

The Devs did not want the fast "boom boom dead" feel of the other FPSes because that doesn't encourage serious teamwork and takes away from the tactical feel. That is the general premise of PS: Teamwork. Using a group of people with different roles to accomplish the same objective, not "one guy does everything"
I also believe that Surgile are the reason the JH has been nerfed to uselessness outside of point-blank. Maybe after they have "gotten rid" of that style, the Devs will be able to see the numbers proving it. If that is the case, I'm going to have to laugh my ass off that Surgiles shot themselves in the foot by inflating the numbers.
As far as it being a bad long-term desicion, refer to above. For all you know, there could be next to no effect other than to make things even...and if that kills off Surgile, that kind of tells me that it wasn't that viable of a playstyle to begin with. |

Man, all I gotta say is, you have the surgile playstyle a bit misunderstood. This nerf will in fact kill it, because it centers around having a weapon out while surging. So umm, how am I supposed to continue with this playstyle again? Ok, my point is made, I'm done here.

yeah.. besides, one thing i think we overlook is the fact that if a human being zipped about the landscape firing a weapon he'd be so amazingly inaccurate it would be impractical to do it in the first place. I mean, i think that surging and shooting should've been so amazingly inaccurate as to be useless. let's be honest, if you're sprinting around at top speed in real life, without surge, aiming is pointless, you're bullets are gonna fly everywhere.. let's put nerfing aside, surgile+shooting=unrealistic to begin with.

Just another illustration of lazy parents ruining everything...if you don't want your kids to play violent video games, then don't just let them sit at the computer all day without being watched. Getting tired of things being left out because Little Johnnie might be warped...like he isn't going to be already with such repressed parents. |

As to why they haven't, I can give you a theoretical reason: Because companies generally don't want to publically admit to mistakes if they don't have to. Even considering how complicated PS is, and that I doubt anyone would really be up in arms about it, it's often corperate policy to not admit you messed up unless you really have to.
