    If memory serves, the vendor Palindrome is God Roll, or near enough as makes no difference. Tyson, if you like and can use HC's go for that one.

    Having Rifled Barrel, giving it range at 62 (along with its other base stats) make it damned good.

    I'm still hoping Shaxx will give me a better one at some point - would love:

    SureShot IS
    OutLaw/Icarus
    Rifled Barrel (only perk in that column to aim for, imo)
    Hidden Hand/Reactive Reload.

    Palindrone - Hand Cannon on sale from crucible quarter master, great gun with a very good roll.
    The Waltz - Future War Cult Pulse Rifle - not sure about the roll on this but it is the Clever Dragon archetype.
    Heard Chaotic Neutral is a good LMG too, again from the crucible quarter master.

    There's that shotgun from Dead orbit as well.

    My PvP game has moved on from HC's entirely. I tried Thorn once I got it again a while back and it's still my most comfortable HC even when needed into the ground.

    I haven't used HC's in so long I wouldn't go near em now, even if one in particular is meta. If I was to look at my stats, I'd say Thorn is still my most used highest kill count weapon in the game.

    Embarrassing side note: It took my then 2 year old daughter to show me that The Last Word's perk 'Rapid Fire' actually meant 'Full Auto'. Up to that point I'd been constantly pulling the trigger button, then she asks to have a go, holds the trigger down and completely empties the clip. :o

    For the first few KF runs, Generic didn't realise Touch of Malice was full auto - so he was getting repetitive strain issues at the sisters!

    I'm a big fan of hand cannons, where the maps allow it. Have a Finnalas Peril with Rifled and Icarus which I am loving at the moment. Palindrome beats it for stability, but I don't think stability is much of an issue with hand cannons (as you should be letting them come back to rest anyway, so the recoil direction/velocity shouldn't be a big deal.

    Was bored the other night so I pull out the Ace of Spades, having never used it. It's actually a solid enough HC, almost identical base stats to the Palindrome. Slightly less base stability, but slightly better range and reload. Very usable.

    Lads I'd sign up for this but I'm I've only got the game and levelling up, likely to get slaughtered but if there's uneven teams I can jump in.

    The gunsmith, make sure you rank that guy up.

    So far we have 23 players, almost 6 teams of 4. Think we should leave it open until Sat/Sun and then take it from there. Was thinking we could play 5 rounds of 7 minute clash and get awarded a point for each round won which would hopefully keep it as close as possible.

    Thats only about 40mins and say a round of regular crucible to warm up and you're still done in an hour. If we each can play once a week then no hassles and it would be all over in 5 weeks.

    Nope! I'm putting age restrictions on this.

    Too late, I've added him to the chat. However, please note that games commence no earlier than 10pm.

    Yeah well, when we are running it this weekend, we want a running commentary from you over party chat, so we can prove it's you playing and not Nathan. Silence is Golden, but in Nathan's case, it's also fupping deadly. :D

    How are we supposed to be making fair teams so if people are account-sharing? ELO being wildly misleading in that instance and all that? :confused:

    It'll be grand, I've been intentionally losing in crucible for months in anticipation of this going ahead. Elo at an all time low.

    Another option would be to give them the group average under each game type and work from there.

    Clash, Control, Rift and Iron Banner are used to calculate an average elo.

    Yep we curently have 24 so that will make 6 teams of 4, I was going to leave it open until the weekend and then pick teams and game schedule. I say we lock it at this unless we actually get another complete team of 3 rather than change team size across the board. It's been known long enough at this stage.
