Worse PVP I've ever seen in my entire 15 years of gaming.

[Senior Rita]

only way to be good is spam cloak and blast with a shotgun from upfront with 3 hits or sit in the back like a wimp carrying a sniper.

no other guns are good in PVP. infectors? useless as **** because bugs don't even come out to attack. Rocketlaunchers? by the time you lock on or fire you're dead. Grenade launchers? you just end up killing yourself or end up helping the enemy kill you from exlosion damage. Everything about PVP in Defiance is absolute trash.

The games by themself only last like 2 minutes, which is not even worth the time you spend trying to que up for a match. They need to make the winning score much much higher than it is, because the rounds end way too fast.


TL;DR version - Defiance should of beta-tested pvp better.

I see people do just fine with a variety of weapons.

[Eralrik]

Infectors actually come in 2 varieties ones that infect with bugs and the ones that just infect without bugs. I've had a couple in my inventory and it'll say in it's description.

PvP feels more like an after thought joke as it isn't very fun unless you cloak and shotgun then these people are having a lot of fun as with the snipers.

Cloak shouldn't be allowed at all in PvP...

Cloak shouldn't be allowed at all in PvP...

So shouldnt bunnyjumping+grenadelaunching.

Hahaha, wow, no offense dude but really?

Okay, I admit that most people aren't very good in pvp, however either myself or one of my clan mates come top of the scoreboards every single game we play.

My personal weapons of choice are an assault rifle and an infector, they are MASSIVELY powerful in pvp, empty a clip into a guy then simply roll into cover and wait for him to die...

Grenade launchers are already on the slab for nerfing, personally I avoid using them as they simply aren't a fun way to play as they are simply so powerful, the fact you think they are trash kind of makes your entire post redundant...

TL;DR OP got his *** handed to him and came to forums to cry.

It does feel very weak. I can forgive the lackluster PvP if the PvE aspect was great, but it isn't because there's no character progression. Thus, we conclude Defiance is mostly a TPS with minor mmorpg aspects.

But if I really wanted a TPS to play, I would just go play Gears of War. Everything Defiance does is just so average and nobody leaves happy.

[Senior Rita]

the PVP is more of an annoying task rather than having fun.

I don't care if you think you're hot**** or trying to prove a point by saying your good with all weapons.. you're stupid as **** and blind if you think cloak is not unbalanced.

btw, where the fk is everyone getting these shields with like 5000 points, because I'm shooting people straight in the face with a GL over and over and can never take them out, yet they kill me with 2-3 shots with a cheap shotgun or assult rifle.

Rita? The Infector user I repeatedly killed with an Infector myself?

Infectors are AMAZING and the PvP is AWESOME.

*ps, Blur > Cloak by such a huge margin.

Rita pvp is fine every weapon got its own benefits but if u got a lack of skill...........
