Why do people hate BMG and Crimefighter?

[Mister Derpenhowser]

Crimefighter is NOT good for co-op. Unless you want everyone to hate you and, with the new system, get yourself booted.

[Brindled]

Let's not forget about people crying about point farming.

[sarcasm]You shouldn't try to get a higher score to obtain more arkforge. That's a no-no. [/sarcasm]

No matter your intentions, people assume you're griefing or intentionally trying to outscore them instead of helping them. While scoring higher than others contains some friendly competition, others may look down on you no matter how effective or ineffective you are. There's a bit of elitism in all games. It's part of the human condition, and this game is no different.

Tread lightly while having fun.


Note: the graphics issue is a true concern that needs to be addressed fully

I'm not meaning to sound elitist here but what kind of systems are you people running that are having graphics issues with the crimefighter? I've had none at all. I've got an 8 core AMD 4200, 16 gigs of RAM, and GTX 650TI.
I do have to say that I used to hate the BMG graphics but I adjusted my gamma and it's fine. The recommened gamma is too dark and the BMG beam and bubble contrasted too much. I've also turned off screen shake too, It's somewhere in the options.

As for DPS of my orange fully modded 3k crimefighter. I've tested it against most of my other 3k weapons and it rocks. The calculator says so also. On my 5k character my LMGs and ARs are way better than my purple 5k Crimefighter. Then the crimefilghter is only useful in crowd situations. It's pretty useless as a single target weapon.

Thanks for the info guys. I was truly mystified about some of the comments I've seen about BMG and Crimefighter. You guys cleared that up for me.

Elitist! Elitist! ELITIST! Quick, grab your torches and pitchforks! We have another one!

Just kidding.

Actually, most of the ones complaining about the graphics issues are console players like myself. You are lucky that you can tweak your settings or change out to a higher quality video card. We are stuck with whatever M$ or $ony gave us.

Yeah im ps3. Only tweaking methods I have are my fist or a hammer.

LOL! Don't forget a screwdriver for prying and pliers for pulling apart stuff.

And a shot of whiskey for crying into because nothing works and ppl still use the damned weapons!

[OuchThatHurt]

Crit build shield break set up relies on shields being down to deal an extra 45% more damage to WM that is reason enough to hate them in WM, then there is the fact they make it harder to aim. Frankly with the time restriction it's best to let people die re spawn and rush back while every one up deals damage rather then having some people healing and lowing overall damage out put.

You get limited number of players and time to finish WM anything that makes it harder is just seen as bad form /trolling ect. Most people i know would agree a lot of perks rely on broken shields and BMG's just make those perks useless.

And a Baseball Bat for when things get really stubborn...

Like that printer from Office Space.

I hate them because I prefer to use bullet weapons and getting critical hits, and that requirea that I actually be able to see what I'm shooting at. The weapons in question blind me or prevent me from seeing what I'd like to shoot at.

But not to worry, I have an answer when people use BMG's and Crimefighters around me. I just equip my Volge AR and spin in a circle while firing continuously. Reload and repeat as needed.

Hey, if I can't see, ain't no one seeing.
