Well, since the 2.5 second reload has been rejected by absolutely everybody, what about the other nex balancing suggestion-

A "covenant sniper" type weapon Allow 2 quick shots with a very quick reload (.5 seconds), but a third quick shot would over-heat it, then 2.5 Seconds to fire the gun after overheating. However you could fire every 1.5 seconds and never overheat the gun.

Told you it would have a negative impact

As far as the nex goes it doesn't need to be change, only so that you cannot possibly fire after 1.5 sec past. Overall, it's a great weapon. Also, I think overheating is not Nexuiz style, that would maybe slow down the gameplay and all, and it's more "realist-ish" kinda function, which Nexuiz isn't based on IMO

The hard thing is to balance Nexuiz guns to "CTF open maps" and "1on1 closed small maps". It's probably impossible... so we must find a middle ground.
OR have different weapon settings in different gamemodes/maps.. which I am against :/

I definitely agree that it is up to mappers to intelligently place weapons around the map- throwing every weapon in there is not always necessary.
It is my personal opinion that Nexuiz would benefit fromo being slightly slower. Instead of being a mindless kill frenzy, it would require a tad more tactics to win— I'm thinking UT style, not FEAR. Well, I'm going to play the game either way, its just amusing that noone else shares my sentiments.

Well, i have to agree with the CTF stuff (Especially with Carlyle that the maps are probably the biggest problem)...i always wanted more playable ctf maps, i don't mind the fun maps but it puts me off CTF when you have 4 people shooting you with the machinegun...and as someone already said, chucking every weapon into the map.

Can't remember who mentioned fortress resurrection or mikectf2...both great maps..there not stupid, and it means players have to actually apply the weapons to the map..you can actually get to the enemies base without being mowed down 9/10 times. not just MG MG or NEX NEX all the time like on most maps, same with runningmanctf..even though it is quite small, it's a good map cause of the multiple routes and versatile gameplay and weapons on the map., although it is difficult to get the flag at times

I totally agree about MikeCTF2. That map is one of the best (the best for ctf imo).

I agree, it's my fav map actually, always been since the first time I played it.

The Nex (without the exploit) is good and balanced as is! Please don't change it anymore! But I totally agree with the comments on the mg's secondary fire, it's quite annoying on some maps.

I also think the nex is fine the way it is, because there is a short (1 second) delay between shots, and if you miss by a millimeter, then you miss completetly (unlike the rocket launcher, where you can just detonate it with 2nd fire.) Every fps needs a sniper, and snipers are powerful.

The MG, I think, is fine. It's not really overpowered, because each shot isn't that powerful. I realize that new players may be discouraged, but we were all once new players. No matter what game it is, you get owned a lot as a newbie.

All the weapons are fine, except they get a bit old after a while.

I wouldn't consider myself a newbie...
My problem with the MG is that it stops people in mid-air (wtf?) and the secondary fire IS very powerful.
