thanks for that...does it have the railgun in q4?
if so..consider it bought, rail ftw
Yes it does have the railgun. Something that is VERY nice, but hard to get used to, is that the more powerful weapons have longer switch times. The railgun is very powerful doing 100 damage, but the weapon switch time is very slow to help balance out how strong it is. Every weapon in this game can kill you, from the shotgun (once you get it down) to the stronger rockets and railgun. Having this delay allows for someone who may not have as good of a weapon still have a chance at a kill. Now, you can still switch the weapons fast while moving around the map, but as soon as you shoot the weapon, the delay is set. This requires a lot more knowledge of which weapons are best for each situation, because say you are in an area that is closed and you are runing around with the railgun and someone shows up and you shoot, you are now a sitting duck for a half second or more in a tight spot, wheras if you were more prepaired with the rockets out you could have a much more reliable fragging opportunity. This game seems to be a lot about weapon choice and usage because all of them have the ability to kill. In this respect you are never "out of the game" like in UT when someone gets the hitscan weapons and the 100a. Not to say you are out totally, or for good, but in q4 you are always only few shots and a slight mess up by your opponant away from getting back in the game at any given time.
It's like 80 and 0 on dust2 no problem.
