[QUOTE=jiggu;34763809]How do you feel about the phase rifle then?[/QUOTE] I prefer it to the BXT1 (Or whatever variation of those letters it is) nothing beats that feeling of pulling off a good quick scope or no scope and thinking "How on earth did I just do that?", that's not the only reason of course, it's a good weapon if you like to move around the map and shoot, you don't have to be stationary to be effective with it. The energy drain is definitely a down side, but if you play up close and have survivalist you can grab the ammo drops and have a full charge ready by the time the next guy comes along. Also, just between you and I, the phase rifle still has a bug where you can pull off 2 full damage shots in quick succession, it's not something you can do all the time, it's just if you time 2 shots 1 after the other perfectly. In the video I posted you can see I do it once @ 1:29. Very hit and miss though, not a bug you can rely on.
I have a similair experience with it. the BXT1 seems to have higher DPS (even with energy recharge pack) simply because it charges faster, however being able to jump into scope quickly is nice. I think they should reduce the energy cost on the phase rifle by a little bit.
I think they will buff it a bit tbh. I'd like to see the Phase rifle having higher DPS on the first 2 shots, and lower DPS on the shots thereafter. So for steady DPS you have the BXT1, and for a high DPS burst to take down a carrier you have the Phase Rifle.

I just got my first job, yay. Time to celebrate with some vgs.
well that was fun. Held the enemy generator room on DryDock against 2 enemy raiders, 2 techs, a jugger, and a brute for about 20 kills. Then the next round was one big sniper war

How much is the stealth spinfusor to unlock? Im debating weather to unlock doombringer or infiltrator.
[QUOTE=Birdman101;34764895]How much is the stealth spinfusor to unlock? Im debating weather to unlock doombringer or infiltrator.[/QUOTE] From experience I find the Doombringer pretty fucking useless, the forcefield doesn't stop people, only damage them when they pass through. You're slow as fuck, your main weapon is a chaingun that does great damage when it actually hit but you're so slow that explosives severely outdamage you and they barely need to aim unlike you. As for the saber launcher, barely anyone uses vehicle, it's only good for the occasional grav cycle or flying pathfinder eagle fuckfaggot but most people are never in the air long enough for you to get a lock on and it tells them when they're locked on so they can just land back on the ground. The missiles can also easily be shot down or dodged by using the thrust pack. I'm really fuckin' dissapointed that I bought the doombringer.

As a Tech, I really like friendly Doombringers. When they put up the shields, defending the flag becomes ten times easier since Paths who think they can zip through at 200kph turn into a splat. Anyone who tries to llama grab gets burnt by turrets. And when the other team tries to shoot the shield, I'm there repairing it faster than they can shoot it. Pretty effective, but I'll admit my standpoint really isn't indicative of what it's like to play as a Doom.
I really want to get good at Raider, any tips for using the primary gun outside? Indoor usage is piss but outside it's impossible to hit anything.
[QUOTE=David Tennant;34765023]I really want to get good at Raider, any tips for using the primary gun outside? Indoor usage is piss but outside it's impossible to hit anything.[/QUOTE] I've played basically nothing but raider and I still can't hit shit outside with the grenade launcher :v: Just use the SMG or switch to the arx, they both do crazy damage and aren't as hard to aim outside.
[QUOTE=David Tennant;34765023]I really want to get good at Raider, any tips for using the primary gun outside? Indoor usage is piss but outside it's impossible to hit anything.[/QUOTE] SMG does fairly high DPS, is easy to aim, and can hit people in the air easily. There isn't much use to dumping effort into airshots with the arx/GL.

The only thing more annoying than not having a Doombringer on your team is having a Doombringer that WILL NOT FUCKING PUT UP A FORCEFIELD OR HOF GOD FUCKING FUCK :ALSNF:LSHDFOIWHEM:FOHUWE sorry [editline]19th February 2012[/editline] hey can i borrow $30 on paypal so i can pre-order the game i'd do it myself but i have to wait 2-3 business days for paypal to verify my bank account i will pay you back

Juggernaut is the greatest. Went on a 10 game win streak just camping generator rooms and getting stupid easy kills. Somehow I'm a pay2win faggot cause I use the default kit :v:

I got a pay2win accusation on my completely stock Brute kit. Terrible pathfinder who kept coming in at <150 sanics and getting one shot.
I pay to win.
