Shooting faster makes you better?
Ok, first off I want to say that I mentioned this in another post about equipment, sorry for breaking off.
Everyone is going to want to say that your ROF is not going to make you a better player...a gun doesnt create skill etc...SKill is in the player..yadda yadda yadda...
IF that is true, than why are people saying it is hard to compete against warp fed mags?
Why dont people use pumps against semis?
Why would the millitary spend billions of dollars to have greater firepower (ROF, explosion radius, snitchs, air, navel, etc...)if it was all about the soldier?
The reason is ROF, equipment makes a HUGE difference. A gun that doesnt break paint (level 10) and shoots over 20 ball/second WILL make a HUGE difference vs. a spyder.
I am willing to upset the masses and say that this game is 50% skill and 50% gear. IF we ALL had the same gear then it would be 100% skill...but most people dont play stock, they want that advantage...admit it now people, we ALL like to be special /pat ourselves on back.
Heh, we are all elitists..after all we are mag fans!

Re: Shooting faster makes you better?
well speed doesn't reflect skill, speed really is only a supression thing, to keep that kid w/ the pump from coming out and hitting you w/ 1 ball, you're gonna shoot 15/second at his bunker. speed is over rated, yes, we all want to shoot faster, but the only reason why we want to shoot faster is just so we can say we can...braging rights nothing more. you see it all the time, horse power in cars is a good example, why do you need a car w/ 400 horses when the speed limit is only 65(75 in the south) on the highways? because you can, and because you then have braging rights

there's more to a warp feed than just a fast feed rate, such as different shooting angles. you never hear any 1 complain hor hard it is to compete against some 1 w/ a halo when they both feed at the same rate. i think most of the warp issue is in their head...that big thing on the side of their gun is what's doing the work...it's easier to say that then just say damn, that kid's better than i am
