FORUMS_

I agree 100%. I honestly think EMP's are too OP (and I personally use them)

1 hit kill to Guardians and SG... pathetic

You know what could be done to balance it, but not make it totally useless. Just make them a 2 grenade kill for the Guardian, Sentry Gun, AGR, Dragonfire. 1 hit for stuff like the RCXD and equipment. Plus another thing that could be done it to allow the blast radias to not go through walls. You don't know how many times I've seen a sentry gun with my engineer perk and I just threw an EMP grenade in its general direction and destroyed it. I agree the emp grenades are too strong, but lets not just nerf them so much they are utterly useless.

I disagree. I've played many domination matches where teams set up fortresses of guardians and sentrys and without the ease of throwing a EMP half way across the map we wouldn't have a chance.

There really is a simple way of balancing this stuff out. I havent run any of the above mentioned scorestreaks in ages, they're pretty useless and get put down pretty quickly.

Make blind eye make you immune to being targetted by sentry guns and AGRs (only AI controlled btw), since blind eye sucks anyways.

Make tact mask more resistant against the guardian (because tact mask isnt that great anyways, I mean dont get me wrong its useful at what it does, but shock charges concussions and flashes arent even that common in my experience).

Make Hardwired protect your equipment from EMP nades (not the streak though).

Problems solved. The dragonfire isnt too hard to shoot down anyways.

Still it doesnt stop you from being hacked by the blackhat xD but they generally need engineer to be useful anyways.

This also gives you more reason to manually control the sentry gun (why you need to apart from the emblem is way beyond me).

But yeah, as it stands the above scorestreaks are so useless and I never run them.

I use EMP Grenades, yep def overpowered, i use then to locate people in buildings, destroy sentry guns, agr,gaurdians, and tacts. if theres a trophy system ill throw my emp on the ground behind a wall and destroy the trophy system with the emp. Who needs a flashbang when you can stun through walls.
