Nanosword

Post by CausingDe4th » Wed 07 Dec , 2011 10:38 pm

Whats up guys ,
This will be my first Forum topic .
The reason why i upload this it a match i had on Library
I had most damage , by only using Nanosword went 25/4 :twisted: on full server.
I also had 1 monsterkill 2 ultrakills and some more multi and doublekills
With the Nanoblade its 2 easy to kill someone on small maps in my opinion
You are to fast while running with it , that most players have no chance to aim
at you before they are cut 1 hit .

What do you think , should it be nerfed ?

From the first time I saw it, I said it was a "cheated" weapon. It has no real disadvantage (or tell me which) and a lot of advantages (high damages, no speed penalty, no overheating...). :roll:
Its all about the game, and how you play it
All about control, and if you can take it
All about your debt, and if you can payit
Its all about pain and whos gonna make it...

Base damage of Nanosword is 120, the double strike deals 240 over about 0.6 seconds. Given that Librarie is an extremely small map and the server was full, I would suggest that the other players got exactly what they deserved for voting such a small map with so many people on the server. Maybe continued usage of the Nanosword to dominate these maps will teach the server clientele that the maps at the top of the Most Played count are not the only maps that can be voted on the server.

Advantages of the Nanoblade:

High damage per strike, and especially high burst with the altfire.
Good dps.
Long range for a melee weapon (220).

Disadvantages:

Requires a primary weapon slot.
Slower fire rate.
Hums and displays an aura around the user, causing them to be more visible.

I think that it would be better, if on the button of alternative fire there would be a certain protection against a shooting loss, like shield gun's altfire ;)

Why use the nanosword when you can use an X4 knife and do similar damage, without the hum or the aura?

It also doesn't take a primary slot.

From what i've seen the light is only for the player and not for the enemy, but im not sure.

Can anyone confirm that?

Most of the time I get killed by a melee weapon is when the person sneaks up from behind. I also never had much luck with the Nanoblade, especially that I would have 2 melee weapons which makes it slow to select the Nanoblade.

Otherwise I just spray them with a fifty-9 before the even reach me :)

Stop crying about nano. It should be upped not downed.
There are lots of drawbacks as Azarael said, but I would add the "no bullet protection" : it takes ages to get out the pants so if u get it out before u take the risk getting killed by bullets.
Plus, it takes even longer to get the shield out while using nano.

Good players can easily handle nano, ask Gizmo or Aza, so stop crying about nano.

Its a sneaky weapon, that's why u guys are mad.
Tears.
anyway, did someone put their salami into your mama's underwear or something? - team-spec*Azarael

You forgot to mention the true master of nano -> Pinky 8-)

But even he rather uses the sword then the nano cause
of the long raise time.....or maybe because i told him
to permban him if he kills me one more time with it :mrgreen:
