Yeah and its not like getting the laser makes you that good anyways, infact, because of the charge time the person with the laser often gets killed the fastest be it by a BR or sniper.
When do you ever see a player standing in the open for the full 3 second charge time. What happens 9 times out of 10 is the player will stand behind cover while charging the laser and pop out for a split second to shoot their target. This makes it impossible to kill them with a BR and very hard to snipe them in this amount of time.
Actually, if you have the laser you can stand out in the open all you want. Laser means that you not only control the laser, but you control the vehicles. That's what sucks about it. One guy gets the laser and then his team is free to roam in vehicles. Now your vehicles are destroyed and you have absolutely no anti-vehicle weapon, and the other team has all the vehicles. With your team bansheeing the spawns, warthoging around the base (p.s. I love verbing words), and laser/sniping from the middle, you can stand out in the open all you want and not worry about it.
Yes, the warthog is a killing machine, like one player said (particularly on Standoff). However, it's the laser that actually exacerbates that problem as opposed to solving it. The team with the laser get's an amped up warthog spree while the other team gets nothing. There is no balance to the laser, and it takes little skill to use.
EDIT: One thing that is better about H3 is that you do have more antivehicle options (stickies, power drainers, plasma pistols, missile pods, etc). But all of those are relatively worthless against all but the dumbest drivers, particularly banshee pilots. So yes, you do have some chance against vehicles, but it is very small without the laser, on a map where a laser exists.
