[QUOTE=Foogooman;35297580]"My team lost because the other team has too many techs! We can't get the flag this is bullshit!" "My team lost because we have too many techs! They're useless!"[/QUOTE] After a while you learn to filter out this shit. People will complain about anything and everything in this game, be it weapon balance, team stacking, level design. There was one guy on crossfire sniping incoming enemies. Cool, I thought, dodging his every shot. But then I realised throughout the entire round he was the guy saying "noob team" "shit team" "guys attack" "my team sucks" and then at the end "shit team im leaving bye". It's something you'll encounter in any game that really relies on individual skill and teamwork - ever play unreal tournament? lol.

does holding ski in mid air deter your sanics? i tend to just never let go of spacebar during an entire route.

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;35297938]does holding ski in mid air deter your sanics? i tend to just never let of of spacebar during an entire route.[/QUOTE] It used to, but I think they fixed it. I'm in the habit of letting go in mid air now though and I still don't entirely trust it.

[QUOTE=samuel2213;35299308]whelp, i found out how to edit gifs in photoshop[/QUOTE] me too :v: (new avatar)

So I was doing pretty well in my last match, and had amassed a sizable amount of credits. While skiing past the vehicle station, I decided I wanted to try to operate one of those vehicle machineamajiggers like all the pr0s use. I walked up to the station, and bought myself a Shrike. As soon as it left the ground, I managed to steer it straight into the tree that was next to the station. why would you even plant a tree there

What's this about pre customization I'm hearing about?

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;35297165]How the hell am I supposed to aim while in mid-air? Every single time I'm like, 50 feet above some fatass sitting on the ground, I aim directly at him, but the shot always lands like 15 feet away.[/QUOTE] Aim 15 feet "behind" him. If you're going 150kph North, so is the disc you fire. Or at least, that's the idea. The actual speed you impart on your ammo is adjusted for gameplay purposes.

Depends on what you're firing I think

wanted to buy a shrike and selected the beowulf instead well never driven one and wanted to give it a try this happened [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541796983656391425/E99B97AEF89F61CC4D618D028706AF89F3A1D77A/[/t] i am never driving a beowulf again

'SpaceBar'

I saw 2 sandrakers repairing a beowulf. When they were almost done, I stole it and killed one of them :v:

I flipped the dam tank driving it off the vehicle pad on that map. Same match, hit a shrike with a mortar 1/2 second after someone flew it off the vehicle pad and caused them to crash it into the ground. They raged so hard it was fucking hilarious.

Katabatic's a good map, the asymmetry makes it interesting, for sure. Capped twice as a soldier in one life, going 200km/h on a flag that had been dropped in one of the side paths then looping round after capping and E-grabbing the flag from the sworder's base. I'm starting to see the advantages of spinfusor-boosting.

[QUOTE=Foogooman;35293111]The bolt launcher is a straight upgrade as a combat weapon. However it sucks for boosting because it does more damage and has a smaller blast radius. This is all the more important now that self-inflicted nitrons make you drop the flag.[/QUOTE] Wrong, bolt launcher projectile is actually slower, 254 sanic for bolt launcher vs 279 sanic for light spinfusor. Normal spinfusor speed is 270 sanic. I did a bunch of tests on the hi-rez forums. [quote] [B]The speed at which you and a projectile have matched velocities[/B] [U]Half of this value is the projectiles normal speed[/U] Light Spinfusor: 557 Bolt Launcher: 507 -Launching even with horizon you hit your splash Heavy Spinfusor: 540 Soldier/Medium Spinfusor: 539 Spinfusor MKD: 539 Mortar: 490 Arx Buster: 580 Grenade Launcher: 580 [/quote] This means if someone grabs the flag going 270+, projectiles will be worthless for getting them. SMGs have 0% inhertiance, at 300 sanic the tracer spawns like 50 feet behind you.

guys guys you can fly a SHRIKE into the generator room of temple ruins it's hilarious until you randomly explode because the hover height is stupid :(

It's better for killing overall.

i like 2v2 in arena a whole lot but after 1 round it usually gets full of baddies who die faster than you can say sanic shame

Did the servers just implode?

Oh god I haven't been in this thread for weeks but I'm still #1 poster. Any cool updates recently?
