The difference being that the Talon is an objectively awesome weapon. (One of the best in the game). The Hornet is a gun that good players can make work well. The Talon is an awesome gun that good players will make even more awesome.

All of this is true.
(I did remove the word "bad" from the phrase "The Hornet is a bad gun" in that quote, but all the other statements in the quote I agree with 100%).

 

lol, so you remove the word that is essential to the entire thrust of my analysis, so that the final product means nothing like what it was supposed to, and then agree with it. Good job. Do you work for fox news?

Sorry if I mistook your meaning, I got the impression from this post:

The answer is always use a Turian, isn't it BSN?

ironically its also NEVER an acceptable answer, as in

"X gun is great becuz i use it on tsol!"

bsn: claim invalid.


...that you were saying it was bad.
Implications are tricky to read sometimes.


 i was making a F&*&&ng joke and you turned it onto a console war dude.
idc, but damn before you go off for nothing and talk to people like they dont have one UR reread the posts lol.

And I use the word "clueless" to spare you from more scathing language that a less polite man would be using. =] 

The Hornet sucks. No two ways about it, it's terrible. The fact that I can score 200k+ with it (and I can and have) is no argument for it not being terrible.

You say that like calling someone clueless is polite.
No gun that can earn you scores that high could possibly be bad, and regardless, now you're just bragging.

I think Hornet could use a small damage
boost, I like the gun otherwise. Weight is nice, the recoil brings
character to the gun, firing speed is nice too.

Agreed 100%.

It's relatively polite. 

And it can be bad, because it was not the gun that made me score that high. Rather it was my excellence. And yes, I am bragging. 

It's objectively bad because other options in this game make it utterly redundant. The fact that it "works fine" or whatever does not change the fact that nearly every other gun in the game is better. It is far below average whichever way you look at it. In this context, that is synonymous with being bad.

You made 5 claims in that post, and I was trying to say that I agreed with 4 of them. I wasn't trying to skew your meaning. I probably should have left the quote alone and then written "Except for the 'hornet is bad' part, I agree with all of this."

Well my apologies, but it is very hard to discern jokes in a serious discussion when there's nothing in any of the posts to indicate tone.
Also I wasn't trying to start a console war, all I'm saying is coming from someone who has played many shooters on both consoles and PC, it's harder to compensate for recoil with dual analogs than it is with a mouse. That's all.

False.

Guns do not exist independently of each other in this game. It doesn't matter how good the gun is, if it's on the lower end of effectiveness compared to the alternatives then it's bad. No ifs, no buts.

And you can score absurdly high without firing a single shot, you do realize?

No, it's not relatively polite.
And if each gun was considered objectively bad because certain other guns are overall better, there would be exactly 5 weapons in this game that weren't considered useless, and that's only if the guns are only compared to other guns in the same category. If that is ignored, there would be only 1 gun left. Probably the Talon.

I never get why people always make @sses out of themselves over pointless stuff like the Hornet.

Fair point.
However, the Hornet is still among the better SMGs given some of the garbage that's in that category.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 

Someone appears to be having trouble with fractions/percentages.

If we take "bad" to be simply "below average", then precisely HALF the guns in this game would be objectively NOT BAD. The other half, being below average, would be considered, BAD.

Now that's a very simplified version. Let's for example say that a gun was bad if it was SIGNIFICANTLY below average. We shall take significantly below to mean 25% for this example. This means that 3/4 of the guns in the game while varying in degrees of usefulness, could all be called "NOT BAD". And those in the bottom 25% would be defined as bad. 

The Hornet is significantly below average.

You just killed your own point in one sentence.

You pointed out both that the Hornet is amongst the better SMG's, and that that means nothing because the SMG's are full of garbage weapons. Well done.

the only times i ever enjoyed it was with QME with incendiary ammo, and thats because i wasnt really using it...i was spamming grenades and FE's.  i think it took me 4 gold games to get the 200k, maybe more..
 but by conceding this i admit i am a scrub, i dont even have it at X, and i used it with assault rifle amps and the adaptive war amp.
both sides covered, amidoingitright?

I like how thinking that a bad weapon is bad makes you a FBWGG farmer with no UR weapons, and someone who doesn't understand "caster classes". 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: BSN, never change.

It's good supplemental damage on a caster (with the stability mod) but that really isn't saying much.

All SMGs save, I'm assuming (cause I don't have one) the Hurricane, are terribad. Maybe the CSMG is decent? Mine's only at level 1 so I dunno. But yeah, SMGs in general are terrible, so threads ****ing about them are kinda silly...

True.

I don't get why all the AR's (true AR's that is) and SMG's need to suck. Where is the love for rapid fire guns?

"Caster" guns...you people realise there are plenty of other lightweight options that are available to casters that don't have the terrible handling characteristics of this gun, right?

"caster gun"
noun:
A gun which, when masked by the usage of 2 or even 3 powers, seems decent because you werent actually using it.

for me hornet is with CSG right behind hurricane which is the best SMG in my opinion
I use it from time to time (not on TSol) it could use a damage boost but other than that it's fine on bronze and silver
