The best way to fix the chainsaw

[ACE X401]

I came to a realization that occured to me in a match of guardian

all they have to do is allow you to block the chainsaw with another gun like a chainsaw duel if they try to chainsaw you from the front (Chainsaw vs shooty) for example but if u win with another gun you just smack the guy that tried to shred you in two

In my guardian match i was the leader with a shooty out and a dude ran up to me with the chainsaw and i thought O Crap!!!!! and we engaged in a chainsaw duel but i had a shooty? and i won but we just stopped and then i one shoted him.

[**waffles]

ummmm NO .

No, I think that the best way, and the easiest is to decrease the radius of the chainsaw's effect, and make the chainsaw come down when hit (which is being fixed in the TU).

Agree'd. Thou shalt not chainsaw through melee attacks.

[MsDevilKitty]

oh ya. do this with a frag and yu both explode =p lol

MS DEVIL ur comment is an awsome idea so that way u can take the chainsaw punk with u "if im going down ur coming with me" lol

The only thing that still gets me with the chainsaw is how you can't melee someone revving it like you could in the first game. I mean,it makes sense not to be able to melee someone with the chainsaw raised,but it became like natural instinct from playing the first one so much.

You can melee someone revving a saw and stun them, I've done it before. For some reason though I can only manage it with a hammerburst and not the shotgun.

Break it like they broke the shotgun.

I agree they need to seriously fix the fact that when u do a match and someone throws a smoke and has a chainsaw reving waiting for u to get up the chainsaw needs to break like they broke the shotty

You can't enter a chainsaw duel with out having your Lancer out first, then you probably switched to you Gnasher..but every time I do that I always lose..(It's a glitch)

[< Profess >]

1% of my deaths are to the Lancer. I really don't see the problem.

The saw is not hard to deal with because it's a slow moving melee attack, and you are a rolling, roadie-running and wallbouncing guy with a shotgun that works consistantly at midrange.

I would bet anything that most people getting killed by the 'overpowered' chainsaw were trying to kill them with the 'overpowered' 2-piece. Bottom line, the saw doesn't need changing.

I had kinda the same idea only if you were using a shotty it would break the shotty so you could use it anymore but also jam the guys lancer so he couldnt saw you to death. Figure that way you could pull out a pistol or hammer burst and pwn that sawing noob.

Exactly!!!

[< Profess >]

The whole reason the stun (although bugged) was made harder to inflict is to make the chainsaw as viable as melee with any other weapon. It is a chainsaw ffs, it should be pretty nasty up close. People who ride shotgun have got to play smart now because that easy 2-piece kill can go tits-up if you try it on a guy using his Lancer.

Also the radius of effect isn't huge, it's lag that causes the suck in. If people complain about this sort of thing all we'll get is a dynamic tweak (ie. reduced range), that will make the saw less effective than it should be when the connection is good. (and you don't get huge sucks)

Bad servers shouldn't be the benchmark for gameplay tweaks,
since bad servers screw everything up.
