I was over at donggie's monday night prior to a private group game at high velocity, so he could "hook up" my e-mag. Unfortunately the e-mag/warp power hack didnt work as planned and the warp kept spinning uncontrollably when the e-mag powered up with the sensitivity jumper REMOVED and the pot turned all the way down.
It was getting late and we had to go NOW, my e-mag was sitting on the floor with wires haning out of it and parts strewn across the room. Rather than hastily throwing it back together I whooped out my classic mag and decided to play with that for the night.
It was rudimentary compared to modern standards, with a hopper on top and co2 on the bottom. Luckily I knew James, the owners son, at high velocity and he hooked me up with a nitro tank for the night.
I was a bit nervous at first concidering the hyped up competition donngie hinted at. I thought to myself, "well, at least the gun is light..." Surely I thought I was going to be outgunned.
In reality it was quite the opposite. My manuevers became smoother. My shots became twice as accurate. That hopper on top to tell you the truth isnt ALL that bad.
I ended up bunkering 5 people in a 2 hour period, I dont know how to explain it but I played ALOT smoother with a lesser gun.
So in conclusion, does a high ROF help? Surely it does. However, in order for it to be effective you must first learn how to play without it.
ROF without adequate skill only serves to mask insufficencies in a person's game. Knowing I did not have a high ROF that night made me play smarter, and harder. Instead of blowing paint down the feild I actually thought hard about flanking angles and made quick gut wrenching decisions about offensive and defensive moves. And god forbid, I actually took care in AIMING. Much more so than before.
Ill be playing with my "rudimentary" classic mag alot more often. When I go back to my e-mag I expect to become a much better player.
ROF is hype, BUT only for those who don't have the skill to use it.
