[QUOTE=Chirno;34884705]no, the $30 pack that comes with VIP, 3000 gold and a 30 day booster[/QUOTE] Don't think it exists anymore.

I'm starting to get the impression that heavy classes are one of the things causing unbalance in the game as a whole. They gave the Technician the Thumper to actually have a way to deal with Heavies since they have so much health etc. While it helps them deal with Heavies, it also makes them OP against other mediums and lights. Heavies can also constantly harass a base from a distance. Normally to counter this, you would use the Sentinel, however, that doesn't work against Heavies because they get dinked once or twice then run back to heal. Solution: Nerf the Thumper by some amount of damage so it will only one-shot Lights if it's a direct hit, similar to the Bolt Launcher for pathfinders. By doing this it will also buff infiltrators and not make them insta-die if they encounter a Tech. Next, nerf Heavy classes health down to 1800-2000. This will make it so it will take about 3/4 Thumpers to kill a heavy class which means they can still attack the inside of a base without dying instantly. To prevent Heavy base arty spam Mortar/MIRV rage, make it so Sentinel headshots against heavies does double damage. This would make heavies actually have a weakness when bombarding bases. To avoid this they would have to constantly move around which would also (slightly) hinder their ability to aim/spam mortars at the base. Also, 2 headshots on a heavy sitting up on that cliff will kill him, and even just one headshot means it will be easier for a teammate to try and finish him off, rather than the heavy feeling a "dink" and still having 1900 health.

heavies have a high skill ceiling. If you aren't going fast or know how to use the class, you can't dominate however, if you do, god save the other team. most other classes fall into this category, with the exception of I'd say the medium classes, particularly technician and soldier, who don't really have much of a skill ceiling besides "be able to hit target 90% of time"

Close game, 3-3. Their flag runner is feet from the flag stand. I kill him at the same time my friend in a shrike grabs their flag and runs. I return, he gets a 6 second cap. 30 seconds left on the clock. Lost connection to server. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[QUOTE=jiggu;34884762]Don't think it exists anymore.[/QUOTE] why wouldnt it? sure it was a "pre-order" as they called it on the website, but when you ordered it they called it the starter pack... the only thing that would be gone from it is the beta key

well that sucks for people who didnt get it :/

Not sure if late [video=youtube;tjQ69qkbmU4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjQ69qkbmU4&feature=player_embedded[/video]

Fun Fact: Press X for third person mode and then while in third person mode hold the middle mouse button to freelook. if you can remove the things obscuring your view it'd make for real cool videos

[QUOTE=papaya;34885552]Fun Fact: Press X for third person mode and then while in third person mode hold the middle mouse button to freelook. if you can remove the things obscuring your view it'd make for real cool videos[/QUOTE] I always end up accidentally going in to third person when trying to mark a dirty sandraker with Alt and that throws off my aim.

[QUOTE=The golden;34885729]Rebind your keys?[/QUOTE] uhm oh yeah forgot about that :v:

Yeah, I rebind my spot to q, melee to mmb and pack to e. Works well for me.

What say you guys - make a FP team and try and take on some 2slow4us scrubs? [editline]27th February 2012[/editline] Mic required we don't care about age we already have me and beetle179 :v:

All my keyboard buttons does VGS. Except for RMB, it does " No " incase Funion goes VGTG again.

Will they have support for custom maps? After playing for a while, all I want is a 1 mile long 89° hill that I can ski down.

I just wish the keybinding menu was more friendly. It's annoying to start playing and looking for what button does what when they're in different pages. I was rebinding a few and I had no idea if i was binding over some other important button. Another thing, why on earth is "y" set to team chat and "t" to all chat. In all my years team chat always is "t" for team.

You can take out tanks with inventory stations though, if it lands on it.

Once I accidentally called down a supply drop on the enemy base, and this guy called me a moron, so I called down another one and it killed him.

I called a drop pod down near the flag stand as a Tech so I could resupply Raidyr has called in a Tactical Strike Oh dear.

[QUOTE=Saber15;34887877][I MG]http://i.imgur.com/xtc34.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Heh, today I did the second one and took a tank into a gen room. There were more people than I anticipated. :(

Are you guys currently experiencing the launcher saying "Server is UP" but once you get in-game and enter your Username/Password and hit Submit it says "Cannot connect to server. Please wait and try again later"? I've had that for the last few hours and I've gotten it every time I've tried to log in (last 5 days or so) except once on a different computer. Is that normal for the servers to be unavailable even though the launcher says they are up?
