Yeah that works well with BMG stalkers who run after you because you are the one person they can see after the lag caused by their BMG makes everything else invisible.

I like BMGs and do agree that there is blame to be shared here. The game and the player. The game allows a lot of things-it says "this could be done" but the player decides whether they should do it. Some go for the bottom of the barrel move.

I've had players argue that exploits and even cheating is ok because it's fun. If this is the state of mind for some, then everything else is up for grabs. We just have to expect it and adapt to it. And a small percentage of any game's player population use the forums. It's not realistic to expect this to change unless something more appealing comes along.

I think everyone should just throw rocks at the volge
While I hit them with my bonfire

Seriously though. Idk what the problem is. Wether I'm
Sniping or hitting them with my SAW (both of which net me over 20k)
Being healed or having the volge bmg spammed never hurt my
Aiming so ill say its you. And once I hit 20k I share the wealth so
Others can get a tier 4 volge box. I don't think getting 40k helps anyone
Except your e-phallis.

I play on a laptop, and when I moved mine down, my lag damn near vanished, and I no longer see that ghastly blue bmg spam, even when I'm the one using a bmg :)

Oh, and if you want to level up your BMG's.. the best place isn't Siege's.. it's Scrapper Arkfalls.. get a Telespanner with +1 Links and a good synergy (I prefer assassin and stalker myself). Scrappers are almost all FULL POINT HITS with the BMG, and crazy easy to get criticals with. Doing a BMG against Volge is sorta like trying to electrocute your neighbors barking dog with a AAA battery.. no matter how hard you push, or where, it's just not going to work.

Last sentence indicates a partial lack of understanding as to why people use BMGs at Sieges. They aren't using the damage function all the time or not even most of the time. They are using HEAL on players for specific reasons.

There is no bloom rate for visuals on consoles.

You leave his e-phallis alone! It's not his fault that it's distorted in such a fashion! It was developed during the days of transistor radios that still used ferrite bars, but it's still workable dagnabbit!

And I have to agree with you.. once I hit 20K, I'm generally helping everyone else out if I can.

Then you are lucky. Have 5 people spamming you constantly with BMGs and it's impossible to see almost anything.

The fact is it happens for a lot of people and it's that constant use by several people.

I know why people USE them at Sieges.. be it damage or heal, my post still stands as accurate despite your attempt to appear more knowledgeable than others. Perhaps if you actually played with a BMG that was maxed out, you'd understand the different in the heal/damage numbers then with one that had no mods at all.

As for no bloom rate on consoles, well good for them :)

I do this - I wish more people would. I use a Spanner Trapper as my backup at sieges and its been very useful. I probably use it only about 20% of the time, maybe less, but it helps. I don't get the scoring system, but it sucks when you wear down an enemy with an entire magazine to almost death, and then while reloading someone else hits the enemy with one bullet from across the map and gets the kill while you get a 300 point assist. It doesn't always do this, I have gotten huge assist points and small kill points, but not all the time.

So pulling out my BMG on occasion to help keep everyone up around me when things get a little hairy is now the wrong thing to do? Got it. Trying to be helpful is bad.
