Should Nono-Disruptor be changed to better suited maps?

Post » Sat May 01, 2010 11:09 am

I'm only asking as at the moment, Nanosuit Disruptor is almost useless as it gets put to work on the wide open maps where there are no real choke points, and as a result, everyone just walks around it.

Put it on Skyline though, where there's a near constant battle for the rooftop, and you have a very different proposition. Likewise, give Statue or Evac Zone an Orbital Strike and as there's little deep vertical cover, it'd be much more welcome.

The Nano Disruptor isn't bad in theory, but it just needs the right maps.

Also, I feel it needs a general buff regardless in range which can be mitigated by making it run out of energy after a certain period. Right now it's very weak, but sticks around for so long that nobody gets to use a second one. Often i've earnt another Disruptor in a match but can't call it in because my first (now tactically useless) one is still active 5 minutes later, despite the enemy now being holed up elsewhere and the flow of battle changed.

Give it a minute duration, 1.5x the range, and put it on better maps and then it'll be a worthwhile streak.

Yea there isn't much use for that on normal death match since everybody is spawing from all over the map, but on objective gamemodes it turns the gameflow completely if you know how to use it.

Then a minute or two later, crashsite is gone and now it is useless! It will still be there!

P.S. Not to be a grammar critic but nono disruptor? What are we three? "No no, you can't have the crashsite!" still funny
