Well, basically, when I switched to this style of play, I almost always dominate.
Think 35/5 or 31/3 , I don't think I am far from 30/0.
My question is, is this tactic valid? Is it too overpowered? Am I considered a "noob" for using it?
At first I played with Scar+Laser which then was branded as a bug, so I switched to MK Mod as weapon of choice, and was good with it. I decided to switch my playstyle and now I use Marshall with Stealth Enhance,Energy Transfer,Mobility Enhance.

my personal opinion: that is a "cheesy" loadout. (like scar+laser). but you are not a "noob" (i hate this word!) if you use it. if you dominated one or two rounds with that loadout you should use another loadout to keep the fun for everyone. (i don't understand players that always use the same loadout - isn't that boring?)

It is a lame loadout - Marshall, SE, ET & ME is the definition of the 'cookie-cutter' setup, as in it's the setup you see a lot in the servers. Reason being it is quite an easy loadout to get a good score with. I have a similar loadout that I use from time to time just when I want to jump in and mess around but I don't use it often.
My 'Berserker' class uses Marshall, AirStomp, SE & ME + C4 when I just want to create some havoc.
Personally I much prefer playing around with different gadgets and modules to keep the game interesting.

It's totally a valid tactic. Don't ever question that. It's also harder than it seems to do, I'm pretty poor at it. You need to balance your energy consumption whilst having a route in mind to find and kill someone, and then being able to recover after each kill without getting killed by others is another component. This fight style is meant for assassinations, not multi kills, and therein lies the art.
Wanna know a super gay cookie cutter loadout? Aim enhance laser scar. That can suggadick.

Whatever loadout you choose, others can't make you do anything about it so just use whatever you want. Don't care about what others think. (excluding tournaments, organized games etc). Seriously even if you use Scar + laser I couldn't care less
