sonic punch is bad don't bother

[QUOTE=Reds;35017396]Well, I need to get my hands on some xp, so badges away, Eagle pistol here I come. Unless the badges turn out to have tiny amounts of xp.[/QUOTE] one of the badges for getting 250 speed gave me 5000(or maybe 6000?) exp. it took me like 10 seconds on katabatic to get it, not to mention theres another for 320 speed that i havent gotten yet. its stuff that you can easily "grind" out by going just for them but its also stuff that will just happen if you play as you normally would [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Crazy_Farmer;35017409]sonic punch is bad don't bother[/QUOTE] i see it only being useful for infs and only for getting the flag dropped in a stalemate or maybe just trolling fatties on katabatic in gen room.

I don't get how you can receive more than 1000XP post game, I've had several games now where I've gotten a heap of badges, total in-game scores of around 10000 and my final XP never comes out to more than 1000-1500, usually less.

so I just downloaded this and I got to rank 4 but every time I press C my pack item doesn't work, am I missing something?

That soundboard is pretty good practice for getting voice commands right.

Sonic punch was funny for awhile when I knocked a few people off the edge in the gen room, then I realised how horrible life as an infiltrator is without survivalist.

Oh lord these badges are insane. I'm drowning in exp. [b]Why can't I hold all this exp?![/b] Seriously, in one game I went from 6000 to 12,000 and I don't even have VIP. Just juggernauted around like I usually do.

I fixed the C issue with my gratuitous XP I got infiltrator and technician, because both of them seem to fit my playing style does anybody have any tips for a new player? other than go fast, of course

Damn it servers go back up I HAVE TO GO FAST AND SERVERS TOO SLOW

[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;35019324]I fixed the C issue with my gratuitous XP I got infiltrator and technician, because both of them seem to fit my playing style does anybody have any tips for a new player? other than go fast, of course[/QUOTE] Go very fast.

Update time, what'll it be now?

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;35019021][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkjE6W0weQA[/media] Hats in my tribes?![/QUOTE] Holy shit, I was in that game.

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;35019021]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkjE6W0weQA Hats in my tribes?![/QUOTE] I'm going to try this next time I play HoF. Pathfinders will be bouncing off my awesomely huge hat.

Anyone know if VIP/Booster effects badge XP? Thinking of actually buying some GP for a booster. They have earned it. This is the only game I'll willingly play by myself in years (I only ever play online games with friends). This game's perfect to waste hours on. Since I fell down the stairs and am on crutches for 6 weeks I don't have to feel guilty playing this all day :v:

So why can the light/heavy classes use VSTT/F/S to say I'm deploying turrets/Forcefields/Sensors

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;35020120]So why can the light/heavy classes use VSTT/F/S to say I'm deploying turrets/Forcefields/Sensors[/QUOTE] In case they switch classes and then deploy them maybe.

They really need to overhaul the turret system for the Technician. They need to add HUD indicators for each turret you deploy so you can see it's health where ever you are. They should also add an outline to them when your turrets aren't in direct line of sight. Also, the ability to self-destruct one manually would be great. They could make it a unique VGS command that would be only available for Technicians. It could be like VD1 and VD2, so you can choose which one you want to destroy. Then on the HUD, it would display which sentry is 1 or 2.

did they buff tech turrets they shoot fast like 500 SANICS

Starting to really like Sentinel, should have just gotten him instead of Technician. Yesterday I was playing Drydock, and was sitting in one of our spawn towers, I sniped the enemy flag carrier that was behind their base skiing towards his flag stand. Meanwhile, one of our Pathfinders was chasing him, once I killed him off, the Pathfinder returned our flag and then we got the capture because we had their flag also. I just feel so useless as Technician, it's probably just because I barely have any upgrades and no Thumper. Will give him another chance eventually.

Is the rhino smg any good? everyone is using spinfusor nowadays but I haven't tried the rhino after the projectile "nerf" Also I remember some site where you could compare the different weapons dps over time, anyone got a link to that? [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] [url]http://ph-matt.dyndns.org/~matt/weapondamage.php[/url] found it, it looks better on paper but don't know.

What happened to the 'pre-order' bonus thing, where you get some gold, a booster and vip? [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] Meh nevermind, got the 3k gold and 30 day booster.

They've fucked up with the stats already, I played a match of soldier, a match of pathfinder and a match of jugger (fresh from the new update) and it said I've played pathfinder 90%, and jugger and soldier at 5% each. Mind you, before I played the matches, I looked at the graph, and they were all at 0%.

[QUOTE=jiggu;35021208]When I played Techie without any upgrades and unlocks I still came out on top, I really had no problem killing people since the TCN4 is pretty damn strong anyway.[/QUOTE] Yeah it is really powerful, compared to the Assault Rifle the soldier has, being as for some reason, it being a bigger gun and I assume it fires much more powerful bullets does only 74 damage, whilst TCN4 does ~80. But i'd prefer the thumper because those fucking infs that make it through our defence are like flies, jetpacking all over the fucking place, so it's kinda hard to shoot them with that, Heavies on the other hand are a different story, really easy to kill.

True. The only thing I miss after getting the thumper is not being able to slay those pesky flies who grab our flag and just barely escape. I did chase one and fuck him up with the thumper for at long range once though, was satisfying as hell to see his body fly.

shoot at infs feet with thumper for instakill = skill
