    This thing is really starting to get annoying. It would be nice for new players to use, but make like a level cap for it. It's seriously annoying when you get into a game with 2 level 50 G10s and their both using it. It's an unstoppable duo. And the worst part of that is when it's the only Capture the flag game on the servers. It just gets annoying. Anybody else agree? And are the developers actually monitoring this?

    Do you seriously think they are gonna phase out the SMP from the game if you whine enough?

    Just kill them or join them and let it be.

    Smart Pistol is a terrible weapon for CTF, or anything outside of Attrition for that matter. Who cares if it's annoying; you should still be winning, and if you aren't, get better.

    Or...instead of it being too good, maybe you're just bad at the game?

    I don't see SMP too good. I got killed by all kinds of weapons. I fear most is player using CAR. I hate SMP because the most fun of playing FPS is aiming by mouse. SMP takes that away. I would not allow any weapon does aiming for me.

    I kinda see your point. Whenever someone kills me with a regular weapon, he/she is just better than me and that's fine. But when I get killed by a SP, it feels cheap; the gun bypasses the skill gap between different players in FPS games, it recognizes enemies and tracks them for you. I feel like me and the MK-5 user don't stand on the same level to begin with.

    Maybe, but it also puts a cap on them. If you're good enough you will reliably beat SMP users.

    Agreed. Every weapon has pros and cons. I got killed by mk5, but i kill them too. Again, i hate mk5 coz it is not you aiming.

    I am sick and tired of hearing people whining about the Smart Pistol.

    It's great for farming minions but next to useless against a pilot as it takes ages to get a lock on.

    I really don't know what the issue is with it. People rarely use it anyway.

    Moaning about the Smart Pistol is like moaning about a Liver shot in boxing cos you get getting winded by it. For God's sake stop whinging adapt your play style. You never know you may learn something.

    I don't know if you were around when the game first debuted, but this thin has been nerfed to shit already.

    I use it but I also use every other gun too. It just depends on the map and game mode, really. You want to talk about OP weapons? How about the R101 and the fact it has infinite range, no damage fall off, retains about 80% of it's accuracy even at sniper ranges and one of the faster fire rates in the game.

    Maybe you wanna talk about the fact that the Arc Grenade does both damage and blinds players -> clearly a severe balance oversight.

    Or, perhaps you wanna talk about the CAR SMG having the same basic stats as the R101 but firing at nearly twice the rate and having 2X better hip-fire?

    I know! You wanna talk about the pin-point accurate chaingun and how incredibly, stupidly, unforigivably broken it is to have a gun that does the same damage per bullet as the DMG sniper rifle and fires at roughly the same rate as the CAR SMG and has the same accuracy as the DMG?

    Compared to all these things, the Smart Pistol is fairly and completely balanced.

    Arc grenade only blinds people that don't know the maps. I can still move out of harms way when that thing goes off..

    The thing that people fail to understand about the smart pistol is that it takes significantly longer to paint a kill than other weapons. You have them in your sights with an smg or car, they're down in 2 seconds or less. Smart pistol takes roughly 3, and you have to maintain lock, otherwise it starts over. I get that it FEELS cheap, like sniping feels cheap...you feel like there's nothing you could've done to stop it. But honestly, if you're in their sights for 3 seconds, you earned that death, just like being in a car's sights for 2 seconds ears you a death.

    What I'd like to see stop is the rampant bigotry associated with smart pistol use. I've been called "gay" and a "faggot" just for using an obviously intended loadout in attrition, the only place smart pistol shines. Sure, you don't like the play style, fine. No need to get hateful and bigoted over it, expecting others to conform to your chosen game play style.

    All that being said, I would not object to a "pilot locking" message on the smart pistol. I don't think it needs it, but maybe it would shut up the incessant whinning.

    I totally agree the Mk5 smart pistol is terrible and has no place in this game. When 2 shots from the smart piston is more destructive then 10 rounds point blank from a C.A.R. there is something seriously wrong.
    Another member stated that "if you cant beat them join them". Sure sign me up!
    hwoarang5 you stated " Get better or get out". Well my good man I will turn that around an say maybe the people using the MK5 should get better so they don't have to use it.
    These are just thoughts about thoughtless statements. The game play is awesome but when the weapons are doing the work for the player.... what is the point of playing the game?

    I think there should be a max level on the smart pistol in order to give noobs a fighting chance but make them use a normal weapon as soon as they have better gear.
