Die in a hole. Scum.

[QUOTE=krail9;35146974]It's highly situational, but it does good damage and the nades blow up when they hit someone. It's kind of exactly what you'd expect from it.[/QUOTE] Yeah but except generator room, there's pretty much no uses for it that other weapons don't already do and better. Also! Not related to your post, just my own opinion on the game (or rather, the players): The more I play the game, the more I find duels annoying, it's all about who has 10 more energy than your opponent to stay airborne 1 second more and throw a projectile on the ground, that's not skill, tracking a guy with your smg and doing lots of damage is skill, placing airshots is skill, randomly throwing shit on the ground and doing 910 damage isn't, it's cheap, and it works.. That's stupid as hell, if anything, you should take less damage from projectiles if you're on the ground, and deal a bit less aswell, to emphasize actual aiming rather than groundspam. It isn't not skilled at all, no matter what people say, throwing a big aoe projectile on the ground is stupidly easily and shouldn't be that stupidly rewarding.

I'm trying to like the TA facebook page for delicious free gold, but Facebook is being ahuge dick and won't let me login :( "You're trying too often." I failed entering my password once you sandraker scum. [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] Apparently I can't even try to log in again for another 24 hours. [b]fuck[/b] Anyone have a spare code for a poor old blood eagle? [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] Stole somebody from works facebook. (Literally grabbed his laptop and ran in to the infirmary) He also plays tribes.

Oh my, this was even more satisfying than that grenade-launcher-round-in-the-face-of-a-sandraker-pathfinder-coming-at-you-through-the-air-at-200mph I got yesterday So the map is this Arx Novena or whatever is the name of the map with the adveduct. I'm playing Blood Eagle pathfinder, skiing around the hills of our base picking off any incoming enemies. After maybe five minutes the enemies start using vehicles en masse. They assault with bikes at first but because both our turrets are functioning and we have like 4 heavies stationed around the edges of the base they can't get far from the adveduct before getting blasted to pure unadulterated shit. So one of their top players decides to try an aerial assault. I see the Shrike rising from behind the arch and hovering there for a bit. Instead of approaching from the side and starting circlestrafing our base, like he would do if he'd have some sense of self-preservation, he gets the brilliant idea of doing a straight head-on strafing run on the fortress. The flyer fires off a few shots, then turns its engines and starts accelerating towards us. At this point he's pretty much doomed unbeknownst to both me and him. I'm directly in between the gunship and our base, although on the ground, looking right at the incoming could-be death bringer. Because no-one else seems to take notice of the craft, I decide to try something crazy for once. I start depleting the jetpack energy as I try to ascend onto the same level with the speeding Shrike. I reach the right altitude after two seconds of steady thrusting. He might or might not see me now, I don't know, but he definitely sees my spinfusor disk coming straight at his windshield before it impacts and rips the whole machine and its pilot into little bits. For a split second I just hover there, not even realizing what happened, when I turn my attention to the fact that I'm on the ground again and facing speeder bike charging right at me. Another amusing one that happened during the same round a while later. I noticed soldier zooming around my team's base, clearly looking for stragglers for easy kills. He spotted me and started approaching, and after a short duel I got his HP down to half, and he decided to screw it and go for our flag. He got the flag, but took a hit from a defense turret on the way out. Now at approx. 25% health he starts skiing back to the enemy base with me in hot pursuit. My spinfusor shot misses but hits the ground close enough to damage him. His health bar is now basically empty, but instead of running for his team's scores and his life he decides that he's had enough of me. He turns around but keeps going in the same direction, although backwards, and he lifts his assault rifle and starts firing at me. I decide to give up and slow down, finally stopping. The flag thief still fires a few rounds at me, launches himself into the air on top of a hill, then turns around just in time to see the bricks of the adveduct smack him in the face as he collides with the arch structure at the speed of a freight train. This, of course, drains his remaining 2-4 units of health, so I quickly get my ass there, recover the flag the flailing ragdoll dropped and get back to ski-camping around the hills of our base.

[QUOTE=Chirno;35147788]get used to being killed because you landed first or learn to airshot[/QUOTE] You're a real bright bulb aren't you I'm saying learning to airshot should be a requirement, not being a cheap bitch and buy energy upgrade to give you easy groundshot advantages which is anything but skilled. I'm not whining, I'm just annoyed at it, learn the difference.

[QUOTE=Bragdras;35149073]not being a cheap bitch and buy energy upgrade to give you easy groundshot advantages which is anything but skilled.[/QUOTE] I'm a cheap bitch then, but hey it works! The only weapons that I've managed to airshot with so far have been the shotgun and the assault rifle. Need to do some practicing I guess.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;35149106]I'm a cheap bitch then, but hey it works![/QUOTE] That's the problem, it works. It works too efficiently.

play raider get grenade launcher never have to worry about anything ever again

[QUOTE=Chirno;35149439]"im not whining" [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] way to be a whiny little bitch because you cant airshot someone[/QUOTE] Are you dumb on purpose or you can't properly read on a daily basis? I can dish out a fair amount of airshots, the problem is that there's no point in doing that since you can just be a cheap fuck and wait for the guy to be grounded and spray in his general direction, it's more efficient, reliable, and with less effort, it's dumb. Screw that, why do I bother, you're a boring person to chat with.

Funny, the only airshot-capable guy that I've met so far has been a lonely sniper in Drydock.

[QUOTE=Chirno;35149787]if you can airshot then you shouldnt have a problem with duels and people who cant airshot should be easy kills for you stop being terrible at this game[/QUOTE] So you really are dumb at all time, my condolences, got nothing left to talk with a boring person like yourself. [quote=Joazzz]Funny, the only airshot-capable guy that I've met so far has been a lonely sniper in Drydock. [/quote] Aye, but I think sniper is kinda different, since you have to aim at all time in order to do anything worthwhile, that's why you don't see all that many, between the ones that think it's underpowered (which it isn't, it's extremly powerful) and those who can't aim at all and just go for groundspam as mentioned before.

What is "The Great Wall" medal? I got it with the description "5 V Dest." [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CGn4f.jpg[/IMG]

In the past few days I have been using the pathfinder shotgun a lot more. To the point where I am considering using quick draw.

[QUOTE=Takuat;35109057]Is the stealth spinfusor worth saving up for?[/QUOTE] Yes Yes yes yes yes 100x yes

[QUOTE=Performula;35150287]What is "The Great Wall" medal? I got it with the description "5 V Dest." [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CGn4f.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] It means you destroyed a bunch of vehicles. sometimes you get vehicle kills/destructions for no reason at the moment.

So,after 4 losses thanks to a team that did not want to defend,i went as a soldier and won the round in 5 mins. Damn I'm good when I'm pissed.

I got a random "Base Repair" accolade when the round ended. I was surprised as i first got a "Flag Captured" then a "Round Win", and lastly a "Base Repair"

Today i found out what it's like to play with two level 20 something sentinels. Those few games weren't fun at all :( Even when I tried to get close, my melee attacks didn't kill them, and their falcons could take down heavies. It was terrible.

A great sentinel can be a total fun-breaker if it's on the other team.

It was terrible.[/QUOTE] I've seen several over-30 rank people who can't seem to play at all. One of them was a tech that seemed mentally challenged. He just stood still while building turrets / repairing and had a reaction time of about 5 seconds. I particularly remember one who was rank 37 and he was always at the bottom of the scoreboard and sucked more than the players on the 1-6 batch. That's how I learned not to give a shit about ranks, they don't tell how good you are at all.

Whenever I play sentinel I focus entirely on flag carriers, chasers, and other snipers. Too many sents do the really scummy thing where they basically steal their teammate's kills by quick-scoping the last 100 health from dueling enemies. [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] sure they end up topping the scoreboard but it's no fun for anyone.

Erm, dare i ask what a "Sanic" is?
