I'm having a hard time understanding why I'd ever want to pick motion sensor over recon darts.

If you do not want the enemy to see the scan circle and you want to have your ass covered i guess.

It also lasts indefinitely, doesn't it?

Those recon bolts should be turned into "1-time scan" bolts, i.e. every hit scans the area once.

No, it's 240s at last rank, and you can only have one out at a time. Or I could take darts, sit on an ammo pack for a bit and cover the entzire damn base in detection.

You obviously never played with the Beamer. :P

I'm not saying the Beamer is bad, but I did see it listed at #2 on someone's Worst FPS Guns of All Time list.

Pretty sure that's PS1's beamer. As far as stock pistols go beamer isn't all bad.

Which is good except for the guys sitting somewhere sniping and do not want someone to get up behind them. shooting darts where you're sitting is just shouting to the world where you are.

Is sitting in one place really a viable strategy, though? It takes ages to get to position, and when you do it doesn't take all that long to get countersniped. Sure, you'll get good K/D, but you could've earned a lot more XP if you just grabbed an SMG or SAS-R and went into the thick of the action (which is usually conveniently close to a spawn point).

Sitting in one place is bad, but I like the fact there's more choice. Now I know who's sitting in one place.

Edit: @Toaster: Yeah, I remember that one. it was PS1's Beamer, but PS2's doesn't know what it wants to be. :P

Edit2: How does the new SMG compare to the others?

I sort of want to get back into this, but has the trend of nerfing the NC over and over changed somewhat?

The last balabce pass treated them well. The Falcons, for example, are now awesome.

No they switched to nerfing TR now.
