Tribes: Ascend v2: I went slow once and it was awful - Games

[QUOTE=Mikhos;34895804]Dooms should have an airgun. That would be really fun, being able to literally just have a giant leafblower to keep those pesky pathfinders away from the flag. Alternatively it could spew flames.[/QUOTE] As a possibility to replace the saber launcher? It sets people on fire for a short time and pushes them away depending on mass?

Flamer? More like a fucking huge blowtorch gun, effective against everything, but has a very limited range.

I made this to illustrate my thoughts. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DSV0J.png[/IMG]

Leafblower should also work on projectiles. It'd be the only means of defense against Juggernauts.

Making own MSPAINTJOB right nao! Look that way | V

Don't you dare outshine my awesome drawing skills.

Okay. Why I didn't make my own post for the image is beyond my limited intellect. [img]http://i40.tinypic.com/2r40x8m.jpg[/img] EDIT: It WOULD blow projectiles away too, for more lulz.

Almost as cool as my drawing, and it's a neat idea.

It was more of a joke idea but here we are seriously considering how it would actually make a lot of sense. Being able to charge up an air gust would also make sense, and you could hear it sucking up the air from a distance, giving you a warning of some intense blowing action to come. ;D EDIT: Also if you don't have the superheavy, perhaps a high charged shot would also push the doomie backwards a little bit? That would be bad for flag sitters, but a doomie on the move could use it to his advantage.

So on the topic of Raider, can someone tell me their loadouts? Arx or Grenade Launcher? Scrambler pack or Shield pack? And which 2 perks? Cheers.

Which I know I can't I'm a wiz with exposives but lasers aren't my strong suit.

As for the pack use shield pack unless you have serious problems with infiltrators coming out from stealth, otherwise Survivalist is a must, potential energy supposedly works too.

Which helps during the fight. Really, survivalist works too. It's all up to your own playstyle, in the end.

You can also spam EMP nades like no tomorrow. ARX is awesome once you get the lead and arc down, there is very little arc on it compared to thumper and bolt launcher.

Nice, a few varied builds. Gonna give them a try and see what works for me. Cheers.

juggerspam is troublesome, but in T2, his mortar was basically a "KILL EERYTHUNG" device. While a weapon of that standing should give you serious food for though, hows about this. Shooting the mortar projectile disarms it. A reward for fast thinking, Juggerspam is still useful, but can be countered. Of course this leads to certain risks, with an explosive weapon you may harm thyself. Or you may miss and not have time to flee. To help facilitate this mechanic you just increase the mortar detonation time a wee bit.

I love the new map, capping with Jugger is really easy in that map thanks to that semi-loop on the base and the amounts of speed you get. Pick up huge amounts of speed, go in from the top of the semi-loop, use the Spinfusor to clear the flag of any enemies and since I'm heavy I can suck up any damage from any shields and turrets placed.

There are never enough inventory stations! [editline]27th February 2012[/editline] We also lost one, 'twas a sad day for the Blood Eagle faction, Sworders paid with a loss

I also forgot to mention that safety third as a prim perk is great, 3-4 nades instagibs the generator, giving you a quick in and out strike.
