You mean a Phoenix that doesn't suck?  I'd like that too.  Might as well call the one we have the Pho to represent its range!

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I'll admit that the TR is tempting at times.  Both my PS1 and PS2 outfits all had secondary groups that were TR (though the PS1 one was mostly just a joke group.)


Damned if you'll ever catch me wearing purple spandex, though.

The best part of VS, IMO, is that slugs from shotguns don't drop.

To be fair, the Lancer is unimpressive too.  The Striker may be the least exciting of the three, but it's the most potent.

NC does have nice things. (Vanguard, Jackhammer, AI MAX in spitting distance)

The Phoenix is still a great weapon, it's just been made more situational (as it should be). 10 guys with Phoenixes taking out vehicle after vehicle from spots where the enemy has to use Liberators to retaliate is incredibly powerful. Plus, it allows organized squads a viable way to counter vehicle point camps from within a building without ever being exposed to vehicle fire.

As much as many of the NC nerfs have frustrated me, the Phoenix is one of PS2's big successes in balancing. It's been changed from a one-man cheese factory to a weapon that greatly rewards teamwork (which is what PS2 is all about).

I will say that using the Jackhammer my kills in very short range (moving inside buildings, basically, though occasionally with an air drop) are much more common. And my under-barrel grenade launcher gets me most of my kills when I'm using that carbine. Definitely good purchases and I'm sure the people who get blasted by them feel they're OP. I just love those guns in biolab fights.

Played a glorious Power Rush on Waterson, as NC, on Esamir. I was part of a platoon that kept the alert tied at the last minute.
And also just joined the outfit it is from! Phoenix Battalion represent.

The striker is not potent, it's completely and utterly worthless now that they nerfed it.

You have to maintain lock or the missiles shoot straight up. That means vs planes all they have to do is fly in a straight line and they move out of range and the missiles abort. Vs tanks you have to stand in the open scoped in with a red line of missiles point straight to you which as I'm sure you know is suicide.

Meanwhile because you can't reload while the missiles are inflight (have to maintain lock) the sustained dps is absolute garbage... the only advantage the striker had over the annihilator was dps and it lost that.

Phoenix and Lancer are situational, you could argue they are worse then the default dumbfire but at least they are useable. Striker is absolutely garbage, like totally and completely terrible now.

But I'm sure people will still say it's OP somehow.

SMG is still more worth it IMO. The Commissioner is nice, don't get me wrong, but it's ultimately a sidearm, rather than a CQC nightmare.

Underboss is actually better in QCB.


Speaking of QCB, wtf is up with that full auto scatgun the NC has?
A pair of those will strip an enemy max in no time within 20m (conservative estimate), I'd say quicker than even a locked down fracture max

Its a pair of autoshotguns blasting away at you in close quarters, where shotgun is king. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN!

We expect NC max to get the proper nerf it deserves.
Duh.
