I'm all for flogging a dead horse, but maybe we should give this a rest until we see what gets done about it. Afterall, I'm sure the devs have heard the many threads concerning this topic and we'll be seeing some changes to the mechanic in the upcoming patch.

I see EMPs as kind of a WMD.
I always have them equipped, but until some one on the opposing side starts using them, I wont (unless our team is loosing by 50% or something).

Using it just feels... so dirty...

EDIT: refuse to even use it in retaliation. It's really that fuzzy bunny. Can't wait for the crutches to falter.

If you can't stand the HEAT, stay out of the map.

I've been EMPing people and then not shooting them all weekend.  I think it makes them madder.

Everytime someone EMPs me now i just run in their face and try and confuse them

I mean, just run STRAIGHT AT THEM and knock them around. It's fuzzy bunny hilarious

Extra points if they have an explosive weapon and they kill themself on you

I will now do this to every Gren with an EMP (providing I have the health to survive :P).

on a sidenote: who the hell needs an EMP with a Gren? You just have to make your opponent even MORE helpless? They already can't freaking move, so you're going to disable their weapons, too? Completely unecessary, it's just like throwing a big "F YOU" to whoever your killing. /rant

edit: not to say using an EMP isn't like that normally, it's just particularly bad with Grens.

If I'm injured I'll EMP someone trying to snag an easy kill and i'll throw out my repair charge and sit there and repair right in front of them.

Usually though it goes I get EMPd, then I play peekaboo and then EMP them back.

I do feel bad about it sometimes, if that makes it any less fuzzy.

Oh look..it's the noob I pwned in DM and trashtalked me for popping EMP. I knew you were butthurt but I didn't think it was bad enough that you'd make a whining thread about it in the forums hahahaha.

For the record: It was a full-roster DM -- it's not like I could've EMP'd every kill I got. It did help me conserve HP and finish duels quicker before the next opponent bumrushes me but really, it's not as OP as losers like you like to think. Your score wasn't even close to mine in that match so don't blame me for your..shortcomings.

Oh look, it's the guy that used EMP in DM.

No, I didn't do great. I went 13/9/14. Not terrible either. You went what, 15/10/something? And YOU didn't get 1st place either. A fair, good guy got 1st. I came in halfway through the match and ended up in 5th place, not bad imho. I'm happy with it. I'm not the best player ever, i know that.

But I'm not a damn exploiter.

Every time I tried to fight YOU, I got an EMP to the face.

It IS that OP.

Get the f*** out of here.

If you weren't such a dumbass you would see that the thread has been open for hours, and our game was 20 mins ago. I didn't make this about you. But hell, it applies.

I know it's been open for hours. I meant that you really have a grudge against EMP users lol. Take a chill pill..you make too many threads whining about everything in this game. Then again, that is a tell-tale sign of a sore loser..which you are.

EVERYONE has a grudge against EMP users. It's OP as all hell, everyone knows it. The only people still using it are exploiters. Can't wait until it gets nerfed, and without your crutch you see how bad you are.

EMP doesn't mean an instant high score, especially in a packed DM game. But there's really no point in explaining that to a whiny noob. =p

Dudes. I hate EMP as much (actually probably more than anyone else in this thread), but you guys need to chill out.
