i really never saw any problim wit the 2 gatling gunz until the other day when i wuz playing on tokay tower...... it seemed like everytime i turned the corner someone wuz shooting at me with wolf's bfg. it wasnt until i switched to earth that i saw WHY... the friggin single gatling gunz r EVERYWHERE which makes it EXTREMELY easy to get 2 and it's easy to keep your ammo level high because almost all the other weapons ammo can be used........ i think this is a major imbalance...... perahps you should not b able to get duel gats from picking up 2 single gats ro something, i dont know, i would like 2 know what u guyz think though  :angry:

You can pick up duel by picking up 2 gats in a rule, it was meant to be that way.  As for balance issues?  Not a balance issue I think, especially in 99b, gats are just to quick and inaccurate unless in close conditions to be very lethal, most times, if your that close your also very close to dead.

On a second note, gats are all over on that map, play some maps where you have to fight to get and keep your gats.  You will see how balanced it is.

hehhe I owned the place on tokays tower with earth gats .
but evereone has soekind of weapon wher you better run from.

1)slipgate rockets = where the hell did that come from
2)doom bfg = where the spork can i go to .
3)strogg rail = im in deep shit if that guy is serious about this .
4)arena  bfg = ehy the spork does he plays gen if heuses this class  
5)earth 2 gats = I though I had 100 live a second ago and now im gibbed

but every class has its downside.
1)slipgate supernail = hey thought I had more nails then that !
2)doom = come on rockets , fly please , your almost there......almost ......a little more .......
3)strogg grenadelauncher = well I have it in my arsenal as backup but I think I have more chance of killing with my blaster .
4)arena = and they call this a lightninggun, ehat does it to ? giving me light in the dark .
5)earth sniper =got ya know . locked on your head..... keep steady ...........paw.....wtf how come that bullet went so low ...... grrrrrrrrr.



you see everething has good and bad parts

I don't really use dual gats too much... even with quad damage. Sure, dual quadded gats sounds fun.. but the single gat + quad is better to me. SIngle gat is more accurate, so you waste less ammo. I use the dual gats when there's like 3 people in an area or if someone decides to try and duke it out up close... unless I have less than 150 ammo. My favorite earth weapon would be the mortar though.

You know, although I consider Slipgate to be the best... Earth just seems more fun.

I keep killing myself because of the stupid air control that I can't master.
Can't jump with slippy. But then, I never could work my way around levels properly in qw :]

Slippy's air control isn't THAT hard to get the hang of... I think it's easy, lol (but then QW has always been my favorite, heh). I hate it when I get switched to Doom or Strogg. I just don't like Doom's weapons in deathmatch... even felt the same way when I played a deathmatch over the net years ago. The chaingun and single barrel shotgun were/are the only weapon I can get any kills with. Strogg is just way too slow for me and the weapons don't seem to make up for it. I'd take Slipgate with just buckshot and nails over these two classes armed with everything..

Although I had a blast botmatching as Strogg last night. Tokay's Towers with techs enabled (just for fun). Picked up the weapon haste thing and got the chaingun down in the water. My GOD... that was brutal!
