The Game I Once Loved

@CCbathwater Nemesis and flatty are better since the nerf. Nemesis is broken.
@hayhor Nemesis... depends on the range, I guess. Long, I still prefer R301 as Nemesis will just do like 16-18 dmg. But no way Flatline is better? Unless you mean hipfire someone in your face, then okay, but all other ranges R301 is far superior.
- @CCbathwater Nemesis is a sniper, AR and smg all in one. If you can control it with a 3x or a 2x4 you can do more damage than one sentinel shot when they peak. I rarely die to a 301 since the nerfs to the hip fire and the damage per bullet. Unlike a flatline you have to have at least a blue mag. Give me a flatline all day every day.
- @hayhor Die to? It's hard to full kill an ant across the map with an AR anyway. But how much dmg and supressing fire can it do. I constantly force everyone to pop bats and thus take them out of the game. When I stand on B and shoot at someone who's 30-30'ing on C, I just make him go away to heal for some time, not necessarily shoot at him to full kill him. With a Flatline I will most likely not make someone at 100-150m go away.
But I guess we just play completely different games. In my games R301 combined with a good close-range gun is usually better than a Flatline/whatever gun.- @CCbathwater @hayhor
Do you know what I find quite interesting about all of this.
Despite the R-301 being dubbed the 'best AR' for multiple seasons, I wasn't a big user of it. I massively agree with @hayhor about the Flatline and I've always thought it was a better weapon. There was one season though, were it was *.
The Hemlock, Havoc, Spitfire, Flatline have had multiple turns on being the best weapon in the game. I just think where the 301 was such an easy gun to use, everyone liked it, everyone picked it up and it was never IMO overpowered - just insanely popular.
Since my return this season, I have to say, I prefer so many other weapons, but the Nemesis is just a worse version of the Hemlock - it's good due to the current game state though.
