A nice big .50 caliber to the head will do major damage, but having a pea shooter rifle will just piss him off. I for one love rogues and the idea of it, so I think about things like this.
    Sorry to this say my friend but your are wrong.
    On this webside: http://www.gamemeca.com/news/special...1000&sort_type= there is a long interview about huxley where they mention the A - E grades.
    Here is a picture from that website about grades:

    This picture is pretty much self-explainable. It shows what lvl you can access which armor/weapon = grade.
    Provide solid evidence to convince me otherwise!

    Nope, I don't get it. F is the strongest? Or what? I would assume A to be the strongest because they might introduce an S class if the game is good and expansions are made. Besides, inorder to keep Phantoms equal against other phantoms, there must be a difference. As you can see, there is only one square in F. I'de say this would be the beginning weapon. Then When it gets to A , you have several choices on your final weapon.

    That's how I think it should work.

    Well if you'd took a closer look at that picture you would see that to the left of each letter there is a number, A = 5 - B = 10 and comes to F = 25. I believe that's lvls for each grade. Why it's only 1 on F and what it could mean? Maybe the last upgrade to the latest weapon and they dont advance any more then that, that's why one.. Maybe other reason why i dunno.

    I thought the max lv was going to be 50? There may be a second part to the tree. This is odd.

    I share Guyver's opinion here, A class is the highest in game. An concludent example is the weapons description witch is here on this site:

    Discodia Assault Rifle Diverian - E class

    This weapon is a product of the universal weapons company Discodia, which supplies sapiens and alternatives with firepower. The Diverian rifle is the basic assault rifle for infantry warfare and is issued to new recruits who complete battle training. The fast firing rifle sprays 600 rounds per second. The Diverian's striking power is enhanced by charging its round's gunpowder with a Lunarite core, but troops will find that the weapon has limited affect on enemies with extremely enhanced armor.

    Please watch closely this movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZimtllqjS3g
    I noticed that high firing machineguns and rifles have S2K ammo, energy weapons which have a low firing rate have L2K ammo. In the last quarter of this movie you will see a sniper in PVE, i guess that is an energy sniper rifle and also has L2K shots with incredible recoil.

    Well i don't know how old that info is and from where it's taken (gonna ask Gobbly) cause it's seems old to me cause it's only a scetch, even older then that interview i gave the link to which has the screenshot which says the opposite. It's not like im sayig that my source is correct or anything, but that looks believeable to me since it's a huge interview. But who knows how it's going to be except the developers? Can't tell which way they will do it cause both make sence. But i thought since that was the real interview that might be true cause they even provided a screenshot of the system. But you never know what comes out in the end, so it's just wait and see =)

    You know in every MMO or anything like that,there are legends in the game who started when the game first came out....and they still play. To think,we have the chance to do that! we will all start out the same.. and we'll eventualy turn into legends (Those who truely own and will continue playing) IDK I have never been like that before..it's cool to think I have a shot at it.

    IMO the balance of snipers doesn't lie in weakening them with L2K. Snipers in Huxley are going to have to deal with Anti-Headshot Equippable Skills already...that's enough gimpage. People need to realise that the sniper needs to employ deadlier shots because they are a situational/opportunistic class.
    In other words...snipers basically have to setup in a spot and wait for their prey rather than run around looking for targets to blast. Relocation takes time and stealth and even though it's the most dangerous activity for a sniper, it must be done often or you run the risk of being located and fragged in your 6.

    Snipers shouldn't be crippled by gimping them into some kindof crouch-and-run class. That's not what snipers are all about.

    Lead of course I mean a game this complex has to be realistic or it would lose some of its tactical outlook. Shooting at something and the bullet hitting that something instantly is impossible anyway so......

    I would have to choose L2K just because to me it adds substance to the gun almost. Like if I play a game where it's an instant shot it makes me feel awkward. Plus it's a great feeling when you nail a guy from that far away and you dont have the stupid crosshair blocking the view.
