The reason why it gets so much love is because it's overpowered, and it was fun. The sound it made with each shot, the reaction enemies had to being hit by it, everything about it told you that it was strong, reliable, and effective. I wasn't at all surprised to see it in marketing, as it was a clear way for Bioware to show how they were aware of their fanbase's preferences. It also neatly showed the fact that you get to keep any weapons you had in ME2.Seneschal said:Impressive! I always thought the Mattock looked like a hunk of wood, but I'm glad it's getting all the love. However, I wonder how it got this popular.
