When it comes to who is the "strongest" faction let me give an example from a different game: In Tekken 7 for example a character named Jin has been seen to be considered top tier on most skilled and pro players tier lists. However in ranked matches Jin has some of the worst winrates amongst the general playerbase. The opposite for the char Gigas who sucks, but has relatively good winrates amongst the general playerbase. So you cannot just look at the best players when deciding what faction is the strongest.

I completed agree about not judging what faction is the best based on a few “high skill=high reward” weapons. I play on Nc PS4 and I am probably one of the last PS4 Leaders who can sustain a high performance team. The truth is that there aren’t enough players who like piloting, and even on Outfit Operations our reaver pilots get out skilled. The Potential of the Anti-Infantry Close Range Max can only be achieved if there are 3 or more teammates around it. Most Players don’t use Max and when they do they don’t understand that they can’t run Up on multiple enemies without having multiple teammates by their side. In this video Kami sounds more like a salty solo vet, since real leaders know how to appreciate what is easy and fairly rewarding. With that being said I think Nc is the hardest and most rewarding for high skilled solo players. For the common team players who wants to win without sweating so much I recommend Vs. Tr is in the middle which gives it the most variety under the leader who trains both solo and team players. There is no best faction that applies to everyone.

NC has tryhards because their weapons are unbalanced by having best time to kill and I think their recoil is low compared to the high fire rates of TR weapons. Plus in a huge fight when the fire rate of your guns dips because of your fps, than it's all about damage per bullet which NC wins at every time. Some NC guns should have the rate of fire reduced to account for their high damage like gd7f has a 845 fire rate with 143 damage vs TR lynx at 909 fire rate with 125 damage. The gd7f will win every time.

Vanu try hard to win alerts and NC go to the highest population fight, and fight braindead (I also do this cause its more fun). The only time I notice NC winning is after Vanu win alerts back to back and TR and NC push them hard and toss a coin to see who wins, or when TR and Vanu go at it near the end of the alert and we just shove who we hate more from the last continent battle (Ex. If Vanu shoves us to the warp gate, we take offense to that). Speaking of warp gate push, we usually win alerts once we get pushed with less than an hour left.

I think it is more about error tolerance. Most features that NC has emphasis a lot on being tanky, like their MAX shield and vanguard shield so that they are more likely to survive in a fight, and they have a lot of shotguns that does not seriously need to aim for head. All of these make NC equipments relatively easier to wield than the other two factions'. Perhaps for the top players it doesn't make much difference, but in a war where average players becomes the majority, the edge of NC appears.

But when talking about larger scale then other factors start to play in, like the TR Prowler being the hands down strongest by far when in greater numbers due to the sheer combined firepower they bring, NC Vanguards does not get that force multiplier with their shields which does pretty much nothing under those circumstances. Vanu Mags got the by far best mobility and can kite and cause havoc from unexpected angels rather easily. All factions have their own niché where they are a bit stronger than the other two, and that is fine.

at top end, NC's always rewarded skill more than any other faction. on the flip side, if you aren't at the top end, NC's always punished more. and since outfit wars is the purview of the sweaty tryhards, it hardly represents regular player experience. there's a reason I use NS guns almost exclusively on NC. gonna keep my opinions about outfit wars bastardizing the game to myself, because I am sure plenty of people have talked about this and enough people disagree with me on this to make my opinion less than useful. scatmax is ok, but only effective to a certain range and outside of that range it's damned useless. it's why for years, I used falcons and now use mattocks. especially after they got rid of our slugs.

Nc is only op if you have aim and experience. The lower firerate, high rcoil will punish you harder than your counterparts if you can't hit. But if you can you scale higher than the other factions. Majority of nc playerbase has lower skills compared to the other factions standards. So they can't utilize the high dmg low rpm weopons. Its not just aiming. You need to get in position and have to know when to engage.

I do like the take on the nuances of 1v1v1 scenarios. Because they will always be unfair one way or another. Whether it is intentional or unintentional double-teaming or the min-max usage of each factions' strenght. Yes, while we want games to be as balanced and as "fair" as possible, PvP will always have some level of competition and most of the players will always strive to *win*. To the point of being unfair (excluding cheating, hacking and glitching in this argument).

NC scatters on max can kill instantly with 5m distance and have long reload and chamber time, that's all. In the game, where you need a big chunky boy with mmo-tank capabilities and possibility to do sustained fire, 2 of 3 faction have it. NC is not in the list. NC max have access only to slow powerful shotguns, useful only in doorways, or nonsensical fast shotguns. Made 7 frags? Congrats! Go being useless for eternity! People calling Scatter-max OP, never played it. GD7-F - very unique weapon, yeah. GAUSS SAW - miss 1 bullet = fast redeploy. You must carry Battlehardened in closerange fights. A lot of NC guns are unforgiving of your mistakes. The only fair comment is about Airhammer. It needs to be affected by Flak-armor. Btw good video.

As someone who plays all 3 (4, if you count NSO) factions, it has been a choice between NC and TR for the strongest and VS as the clear weakest faction. VS used to be OP when Orion was the best LMG (with 0,75 ADS movement, but so did MSW-R and Anchor) and when Scythe was the best fighter. True tryhards would still use Orion over Betelguese even then, since heat is more for solo farming. On the TR vs NC I agree about everything mentioned in the video, except I prefer TR infantry guns just a little bit more. When you need those 10 extra bullets in your mag, you REALLY need them (a lot of NC guns have more "damage per magazine", but they are usually not THE meta weapons - except the Saw). To me it's like this: 1. "do I want to have broken shotgun Maxes, Jackhammer, Airhammer, Masthead and a great selection of viable weapons across the board" in NC 2. "I want Prowlers, Strikers and "no bulshit" dakka guns" in TR 3. VS has a lot of tricks, like aoe from Lashers very weird ammo types, but most of them are fun gimmicks rather than some amazing tactical tool to use "competitively", and a lot of their guns are just... meh. And being "meh" in a game full of amazing guns means you are a bad gun. 4. Honorable mention for NSO "do I hate my life today? If yes then let's play NSO".

I have to disagree with a few of your points. I mainly play NC, and find that the shotgun max falls short in its very nature. Having no medium to long range answer makes it impossible to mount an offensive. where as the VS and TR maxes are ruffly the equivalent to 2 HA's taped together. HA's being the meta because of their survivability, ammo capacity, down time, and unique heavy weapons designed as a force multiplier-- you can imagine giving twice that firepower and survivability to one player makes TR and VS far more viable and flexible. Never has a VS or TR max ever said, "gosh i wish i was any other class right now." NC max can do one thing GREAT. And that's it.

Guns like the Anchor, Reaper, and Gauss saw are basically like laser beams imo. NC is also my highest KD faction with highest hsr too (1.8 KD with 48% hsr on gauss saw and reaper). I currently play VS as I want to try the Betelgeuese, but fighting against NC gets annoying cuz you generally just get stat diffed in most 1v1s. Imo NC is best for new players cuz of the higher damage models on some guns that leave more room for error. But, I'm not that experienced so idk.

I am a TR main, and I agree pretty much agree with the entire video. The reason why NC is OP os rather extremely simple and mathematical. A large majority of the fights a player and especially in outfit wars will experience is close range combat. And NC weapons, even in the official game descriptio is the strongest weapons simply because of their short TTK. Another reason that makes NC very strong is they have means to increase the opponents TTK with their shields. This is alpha and omega in every close range fights. So if 70% of the fights are close range. Then onviously NC has 70% of the advantage. I notice as TR usually har a major advantage in long range fights due to higher accuracy and bullet velocity. And VS being a in between thing. They shine in the mid range but has some capable weapons in both long and short range. But not enough to compensate. That being said, their advantages are so extreme that it causes them to win all the time, its just as you said; Organisation and skill factor outweighs any arsenal, regardless of OP or UP.

Has everything to do with Vanu having the better zerg outfit, literally nothing to do with items. As for NC I agree, they have the most well rounded or best items overall. Just having a ton of low lvl people using shotguns lately, with nc having 40% pop is tough to deal with. Esp since I main a knifer stalker with heartstring. So ye dueling all these shotguns with a knife isn't easy heh, I want a knife buff to more utility items & give Infil proper ASP skills as well.

i play all factions on cobalt… imo all factions are pretty equally balanced, each faction has some op an up stuff but in general i dont see that much of a difference. My K/D and kpm rates on all my accs are pretty equal, still NC a bit better than VS and the worst is my TR acc but all just seperated by small margin. i just think VS has the most unique stuff an fun stuff to use (f.e. heat mechanic is great for some killstreaks), while NC has the most annoying stuff (airhammer, scattermax,…). On cobalt at least it feels like most veterans play VS, still VS got worst tactics imo on cobalt…

They nerfed scattermax two-three(maybe) times since this video and removed max revive. IMHO blueshift on VS is the best AI MAX currently now, if you can headshot. Scattermax is still 'good' but it's no longer in another league of it's own. I think NC still has best infantry weapons for other classes though, except maybe semi auto snipers which would go to TR afaik.

Outfit wars is a place for outfits to compete in a controlled environment because for some reason they don't do that on live. Live is the game. But players don't do anything on Live except place TOTAL EMPHASIS on farming stats. Its honestly sad. This is the mentality that has ALWAYS prohibited PS2 from making it big and therefore gettign the revenue to the devs they need when they need it. Its gated behind the hardcore communities opinions and actions because that influences the Live meta. Vanu is 'overpowered' first and foremost because of the infantry weapon mechancis taking the least amount of skill once you are adjusted to the games physics which isn't long for anyone that has played an FPS that isn't hitscan 24/7. Vanu is a crutch for ego. After that is NC because they have very nice damage modeles which increase skill exponentially with a nice boost to skill ingame (which is what you are addressing specifically in your video). This is because the burst damage they can deliver with an accidental (or intended...) headshot can swing a fight back into their favor in infantry and the inherent tankyness of the faction lends itself well to covering mistakes that are typically made by newer players. If you can aim with headshots they are the easiest as a result, which is what you are saying, I believe. Fps players who prioritise infantry outnumbered play and do not care for stats or if they are beign farmed temporarily will gravitate towards TR for the most challange and biggest skillgap to fill as doing the same thing without NC/Vanu weapons inherently is the definition of being more skilled. Therefore noone is overpowered, the varios factions just offering varying levels of skillceiling with the deluded as always PS2 playerbase believing that the crutches offered by each faction is 'skill' when it is correlated in a statistical format. Since TR have the most well rounded (read not specialized at anything therefire taking more skill to accomplish in a similar situation to their coutnerpart weapons, for example, GENERALLY SPEAKING) weapons they are the most underutilized and perceived as weak, whereas the only factor to consider is that they have to aim harder, faster, and for longer periods of timing than any other faction. Obviously this is all subjective and it applies to any weapon, thsi is generally speaking. You will be able to convert raw skil into 'statistical skill' better on Vanu and NC but it won't matter if you repeatedly lose to a statistically lower player on TR who consistently beats you for example. This statistical acknowledgement of skill by scrubs is what leads to the overpowered feel of factions as players gravitate towards the crutches that increase statistical skill while lacking the perception or skill themselves to differentiate between what is truely overpowered and what is a skillcrutch within the mechanics of the game.

Hate to bring it to you but NC max, specifically scatter cannons have been nerfed multiple times. Time to stop complaining about the NC max, it's good at CQC and useless outside of that, as it's supposed to be. All the remarks about NC small arms can be negated as well, if you want enjoy the 200dmg model join NC. If you don't want to join NC, be happy with your own factiont trades. It's always the same garabage complains being that the faction you're fighting is OP until you switch. The airhammer is fine just as the banshee. If you haven't noticed the banshee during OW was #1 cancer.

About NCs weapons being strong is not true back then and is not true after the anniversary update. Matter of fact NC weapons can barely make dents. NC Maxes are nothing but paper getting shredded and killed by less then a half a clip of any Vanu weapon. I know this because I used to play Vanu and my former outfit ripped shreds out of NC. ( You were there when we did it) I know Vanu is OP because we won 32 in a row previous summer ago. We even ripped Pale Tigers group to pieces that cause him to probably run away to Emerald. NC now are nothing but a paper outfit and they are dying because devs are either being misinformed or they just favour Vanu because Wrel plays on Vanu only.

1: "Copium"? 8 out of 10 first place finalists were NC, 2 TR. 5 out of 5 gold medals went to NC. If you include the top four participants, there were 3 Vanu outfits, 4 tr outfits and 13(!) NC outfits. Saying it was "copium" when vanu outfits complained that they lost because they played against NC outfits is simply wrong. They lost because the battlefield they played on favors close range (as always, capturepoints are mostly closerange on the map, and tanking battles happened in narrow corridors mostly as well where F to win was ridiculously op). If you have equal outfits, and there is a five percent advantage in overal equipment strength, the team with stronger equipment will win out with 60% of their troops still alive (Lanchester's Law). This is knowledge that comes from real warfare, which applies to RTS games too(where I learned about it) which usually doesn't matter much for FPS games, but for Planetside it matters a ton. This fully explains the landslide victory we've seen for NC outfits. At the same time, the most tryhard players will obviously congregate on the strongest faction, making the results even more defined. 2: The reaver is the strongest ESF in groupfighting thanks to it's high alpha damage, allowing you to get a kill in really fast, together with also having the highest afterburner speed, which allows you to get back to your sides rep gal after getting a kill. This, together with having the Masthead to use after you bail (I feel you're REALLY underestimating the strength of the Masthead here, maybe you're not used to using it but it's still incredibly strong, especially because it can be run on engi and used after your aircraft or tank died) 3: Jackhammers are broken as fuck right now due to the nanoweave armor changes, especially when compared to the faction equivalents that other factions get to run as secondary. 4: As a player that played on Vanu (DIGT) on outfitwars this season and was only one of two outfits (VKTZ on Emerald) that got a medal as VS, we didn't run beetlejuice. We ran autoshotties. Beetlejuice is great for soloplay, but if you're playing with medics you might as well run scavenger and get revived with a full magazine anyways. 5: I honestly think the reason Vanu does better on live is because of the type of people that choose Vanu as faction flavor over NC or TR. TR and NC are the people who want to be "badass", while the VS is filled with nerds that like scifi stuff. Nerds are generally more intelligent, leading to more competent players playing on VS. I can't prove this, and it would be really really cool if someone could do a little study on this honestly.

The tryhards went NC to minmax, so most of the winners were NC. It wasn't because their faction arsenal carried them. Faction choice is a small contributing factor towards who won matches in OW; the overwhelming majority was to do with skill. Additionally small factors like having a good plan which everyone knows, good leaders and knowing the lanesmash meta(for example, cycling through players for nanite intensive roles) were important if skill was somewhat equal. Only in matches where all those factors are fairly even, would factions help determine who the OW winners would be.

Equating intelligence to faction choice (or playing ability) is a pretty big leap in logic. I agree that people who like the scifi aesthetic would more likely pick VS, but liking scifi doesn't make you more intelligent nor better at playing any video game. We can categorize the average player on any faction all we want but that doesn't mean it's true. Also your definition of a nerd is unclear because we all, regardless of faction, are doing what traditionally is defined as a nerdy - playing this game.

I agree with all your points. NC has the best guns with the easiest recoil to control. Very little side to side recoil. It's almost like only having to compensate for vertical recoil which is easy. Pull mouse down/profit. The saw is my favourite gun. I would argue that it is the single best gun in the game. If I shoot a max in the head with the SAW they die real quick. Way faster than any other gun, (except the archer of course). The headshot multiplier on a 200 damage round is insanely high. Also I hate all maxes, but the shotgun max is the worst max to fight. It is an absolute pain to get rid of, if it is playing defensively and door holding with support. If it is out in the open in a field it is pathetic. But who pulls a shotgun max in land battles? I main TR and unfortunately every gun feels almost the same. TR guns aren't bad guns, but the stats are almost identical across the board. There is no flavor. Bland. Boring. I use NS guns more than TR guns. At least the NS guns are different. As for VS... I don't play them.

Our damage falloff is the worst with the exception of a few weapons, and the Maggie cannot go toe to toe with any other MBT. If you go salvo for salvo with the Prowler or Vanguard, you will lose. Every. Time. Popping the Vanguard shield when you get ambushed is easy sauce, and being ambushed in a Prowler is fixed by simply having more dakka. To win the Maggie you need ... skill. You need to know where to place the tank and when, you need to actually MOVE, but never forget no matter how fast you might be when mag burning, the turret on either the Vanguard or Prowler is *faster*. So, educate yourself on the Magrider.
