I am relatively new to RenX, I played Ren1 for a bit a while ago. I started RenX in Beta 3. I hear a lot of Beta 2s talking about how OP McFarland was, and when I played him, he was extremely weak, he can't win in 1v1 against anyone except maybe an engineer (so long as they don't use C4) It's not even that I can't play him, I land at least 80% of the secondaries, and his primary only deals considerable damage in rare cqc situations. He basically can only be used as area denial in close quarter areas, which is far better done with mines. I tried the chemical trooper as well, and he too is underwhelming. They are both effectively unusable and irrelevant. If you have the starting 150 credits, it's better to just pick a free class, and save credits for other characters, that or pick engie and grab a carbine to safeguard against rushes defensively. I personally think that there should have either been a to buff chem to match McFarland, or give a small buff to chem and a small respective nerf to McFarland for them to match. Balance the game, don't remove the OP.
