Ugh just leave already Moya. I personally like brink, think it's a pretty good game.
Whoa whoa, calm down buddy -- Everyone is entitled to their opinion; these forums are public.
I'm uncertain of how long you've been playing this game, and came off as a newbie (which there is nothing wrong with that.). Sure you might think there's a balance in weaponry (right now), but over time, you'll understand my logic. You can be the best player in this game -- That doesn't mean your gun is going to play nice for you. Unless you learn the weapons functions (trigger times, actual distance [because the visible stats are all off], and shot leading), the only thing you could possibly enjoy (in my mind) is the *bang* portion which makes you smile everytime you pull the trigger (like most casual gamers. [Casual players are ok in my book. That's if they understand how objectives work in this game.]).
With that said, no hard feelings. I've disrespected you, my apologies. I just thought you'd hold a little more to your topic then "The weapons are balanced," only to come in disapointed with just that very thing.
