no way dude. only seems that way at first. Its probably one of the more difficult weapons to learn and one of the last ones you'll get used to, but give it time.

Also it can be used to do short "wall grinds" to reach a platform or something.

Plasma is 15 in most mods. It's always been useless on the Internet, but you can use cg_projectilenudge

It discourages rail use by blocking the shooter if they are zoomed in. Also if a person is coming straight towards you it slows them down and kills them pretty much.

If you are running away with 25 health, it's a lot better to send 2-3 plasmas at 1800 ups than a rocket at 800 or try hitting MG 6 times.

elusive, I felt the exact same way when I started battle. You just have to get used to leading them.

so plasma is prolly better to use up close? it just seems weaker and harder to hit ppl with it in this mod than baseq3.

im pretty sure battle uses rail rate less than 1000 .. feels like 750 or so??? railjumps would rock! that possible in battle?

[|DRC| Wang]

Only if you switch it to the built in Insta feature. But you would'nt have all weapons. However I do prefer Insta with cpm physics.

You can have railjumping in CPM mode, with no Instagib on. Right now rail reload is 1200

Wartex your missing respawn times for weapons. I think it's 30, correct me if I'm wrong.

If X-Battle turns into IU then its time for me to find a new mod. Rail at 750 or 600 or even 1000 is ghey. It should be 1500......the way it is meant to be (period)

[|DRC| Wartex]

CPMA rail is 1250 w 80 damage. This is how is mean to be. Right now it's 1200 w 100 damage, but you have 100 armor when you spawn, unlike CPMA where you have 0. So everything is balanced out until damage control is implemented. Railgun topic is closed.

PS: Weapon respawn time is the same for all weapons, and depends on a map.

So is it a variable for each map and it's changes from map to map?
