I'll miss you, you were the best friend and we had some amazing times together.
Without you, how can I carry my useless teammates through content they don't belong in?

The nerf that killed you:

Falcon Assault Rifle
- Increased refire time on the Falcon to 0.65 seconds
- Decreased rate of fire from 125 to 50
- Decreased max spare ammo from [24-34] to [18-28]

EDIT:
Since this thread is getting a bit of attention, I thought I should add some constructive solutions.

With the Falcon in its current state, to be a balanced and viable weapon it could:

Gain extra damage.
Lose a LOT of weapon weight, making this gun much more feasible as a secondary/back up weapon.
Increase rate of fire back to pre-nerf, but leave ammo capacity at its low level.

I got it in the victory pack.....

[iDeathlyOmen]

I got it in victory pack too, they nerfed it before i had chance try it. They are going overboard on the nerfs.

No, I believe the OP means today's Falcon nerf

[Peeeblo]

Indeed.

I know how Zaeed feels about Jessie now, RIP. :{

Sleep well, my sweet... you will be remembered!

:'(

[SmokemJags]

I have to say, I am EXTREMELY thankful I got this weapon very early on (one of my first 5 spectre packs) and had a lot of opportunity to play with it quite a bit. I shoulda FRAPSed some of the game play, but I still have plenty of glorious screenshots to remember the Falcon by.

It's not even that bad of a nerf and is still one of the best weapons in the game easily.

[Kantham]

Still no Geth Rifle boost... yet.

[MissMinaethiel]

Call me crazy, but is the nerf going to affect the gun THAT dramatically? I myself have never used it, but it seems like a lot of people are super upset over it o_o

[WealthierBaton9]

Wow they killed the clip and the ROF...damn.

[A Wild Snorlax]

Damn, and I just stared using it today. They totally ruined it, feels like they more than halved the fire rate, total overkill.

You're crazy.

I just tried the Falcon out today, it's a shadow of it's former self.

[Uchimura]

Instead of fixing it.. they just create a workaround and yank the life out of it.

[mysticforce42]

Eh, now it'll be more useful for a Turian soldier instead of a Human.

Besides, if any weapon deserves a nerf, the Falcon did.

[MograthX]

Falcon is fine. They just fixed the fire rate, which was probably intended to be like that anyways (due to the fact that fast firing without being the host made shells disappear), the weapon was out of control before, in some cases even better than the M-99 and that's a goddamn Ultra Rare ...

[Izithel]

They nerfed the ROF, which was broken half the time anyway due to lag.
And they lowerd the magazine and spare clip size.

They maybe went overboard with the Clip size but on every other form no problem.

[Elecbender]

Okay I just tested this.

Even without host I could still shoot faster.

Seems they made the fire rate time in with the enemy's stagger. You can fire once they finish the stagger animation.

GODDAMN IT.

If the ultra-rares are meant to definitely be better than others, then they really need to reexamine the crock-of-garbage shot-pistol.

Pretty much going to have to limit it to my Turian Soldier, sounds like!

The clip change matters little, since I was often running towards the thermal clip crate anyway.

Well if you've never used it, you have no idea what you missed. Not to be rude.

[SmokemJags]

The saddest part is all the people who are gonna miss out on this awesome gem of a gun.
I was fortunate enough to have been able to enjoy it while it lasted.

[ATONAT]

I hate to agree, but it is unusable. Just played a game and even though it fires ridiculously slow, I still had shots failing to register. I don't see how shots can be "lost" in the server. They should lag if anything, but the game knows my bullet has been used but nothing happens. Why is that BW?

Coupled with lowering the total ammo you can carry, it's no longer viable for me. The ideal fix would be a lower magazine size and/or a huge recoil increase. Slowing it down? That's just lazy. It looks ridiculous that the player holds the gun in their hand, aiming at the target but is mysteriously unable to fire a shot.

You guys who are like "derppp the fire rate nerf can't be that big of a deal" are missing the point......

This gun is dead because of the combo of the fire rate AND the capacity dropped to 18. No longer can it be your only weapon, you now HAVE to carry something else with it. Ironically the class that would use it the most doesn't even have biotics/tech to back it up when they do run out of ammo.

It's just a stupid nerf by people who don't play the game looking at metrics and saying "ohdamn, so many people use this gun, we need to change that".

Go ahead.  I just tried this.  You shoot a little faster.  Nowhere as fast as the Falcon-Marksman with host.  Its not even as fast as off-host Falcon without Marksman.
