[QUOTE=kukiric;38083224]How do you even get weapon locked? I gunned down three friendly medics (by accident) and ran over a light assault in a prowler (was in front of the vehicle pad) in five minutes, didn't get weapon locked :v: I did get a warning every time I hit anything from my team (including my own deployable turrets) for the rest of the day though[/QUOTE] My first weapon lock in ~100 hours played, accidently running over teammates with Gal transporting them from Warpgate to Allatum. I most likely captured a base, killed a few people in the process, and now can no longer do anything to affect my teams chances of success. Shit.

M60 is p good against infantry but pointless against vehicles. I could see it because useful on a rushing Sundy to bust into a base with barricade armor or something. Galaxy Gunship idea doesn't really work out because AA is dumb right now. Like most things, decent soundgrade, ridiculously expensive.

[QUOTE=The golden;38085388]Welp, shotguns have effectively made any sort of CQC impossible. Can't even MAX it up since [b]they can 2-shot a MAX dead[/b].[/QUOTE] Do you have some illness where you have to exaggerate everything?

[QUOTE=The golden;38085429]What else do you want me to fucking say? I'm defending a facility by myself as a MAX and a cloaker comes up behind me and all I hear is "BAM" "BAM" and my MAX is dead. I'm sorry, but that is what happened.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJDoX93QAq4[/media] It takes [i]at least[/i] 6 to down a MAX with the two strongest shotguns in the game, maybe 3 if they were point blank direct headshots... which you can't do from behind. I don't know, maybe all your problems are latency related or something.

While lamenting to my friends how lame it is that servers still aren't 24/7, I got disconnected right as a mossie was about to clear me off a Biolab roof. Owned. [editline]18th October 2012[/editline] also yeah he is exaggerating but shotguns are still really dumb right now. They should be good in close quarters, not gibbing. [editline]18th October 2012[/editline] this coming from the dude who used sweeper most of the time in PS1 and has 7 of his top 8 Battlefield 3 guns being shotguns.

[QUOTE=The golden;38085388]Welp, shotguns have effectively made any sort of CQC impossible. Can't even MAX it up since they can 2-shot a MAX dead. GG SOE, GG[/QUOTE] As shittily overpowered as shotguns are at the moment, I think you're exaggerating as fuck. Maybe it was an audio glitch or something, but NO shotgun can do that. You know how I know that? Because I ran behind DOZENS of maxes, getting as close as possible as to not miss, and it takes [B]SIX[/B] shots. Six. Not Five. Not Two, SIX. Also as for CQC is impossible now? Uhhh [I]no[/I]. I switched to carbines recently and I do perfectly fine. In fact, I haven't seen too many shotguns at all. Which is kind of surprising considering how easy to use and powerful they are. In most engagements I've been in I've only seen like 2-3 per fight.

Anybody else think that the lasher is fucking terrible? Waste of a weapon unlock in my opinion. I should have went for the shotgun.

[QUOTE=LeeMelvin;38085795]Anybody else think that the lasher is fucking terrible? Waste of a weapon unlock in my opinion. I should have went for the shotgun.[/QUOTE] take a video of it? I want to see what it's like :v:

[QUOTE=LeeMelvin;38085795]Anybody else think that the lasher is fucking terrible? Waste of a weapon unlock in my opinion. I should have went for the shotgun.[/QUOTE] Ive managed to unlock both and it is indeed terrible, shotgun is much better to unlock for fun. But even with all the whining about it being OP, its not super effective in my hands (not the NC one, at least) - range is not great even for indoors combat. Great fun as infiltrator, though. Dont take my opinion on lasher to account that much though, i dont like the feel of any Vanu or TR guns after i started playing NC. Damage is just not the same.

What I don't understand is why they made the Lasher a weird energy flamethrower thing instead of just like the PS1 Lasher. This is all the more confusing because they basically have the Lasher ingame already as the PPA tank secondary.

The range is just horrific. I can understand the shotgun, especially being used with infiltrator, but as a Heavy how am I supposed to close the distance to use the Lasher?

And then we find out they kept the old prices for weapons. Reaver Rocket pods. Now only 12500 cert points!

I am in love with the M14 Banshee after it got explosive shells, yeah it only has 25 rounds per magazine, and I am capable of taking out infantry with the Needler, but the fact that I can now do a sweep and just hose down a general area to weaken infantry is a lot of fun. Feels good being ground support.

They sure killed a lot of sunderers. Imagine the push NC could have done had they not stopped them.

Tank swarms are kind of a bitch to deal with. I have no problem with lock on launchers.

A few minutes after the video ends is when our squad (not even full, maybe 9 people in it at the time) had a spawn beacon put down near the cliff, and we all dropped in. The 9 of us somehow wiped out every single TR on that cliff, allowing our other squad to get in with an AMS and start pushing them back. We got them all the way back to Mao. [url]http://www.twitch.tv/buzzcutpsycho/b/335816518[/url] - Around 3:37:00 is right after the drop, and where he [i]really[/i] starts to lose his shit. After seeing this I wonder how anybody can stand to be in that outfit.

How do I unlock new weapons? Fairly new to this game.

I used to teamnkill him all the time when I played on the same server as him. He's a colossal neckbeard sperglord. But then again, I think that is too offensive for spergers.

Too bad the guy you have to listen to is a turbonerd with anger issues.

I just honestly wouldn't tolerate some guy over the internet talking to me like that over a video game. Especially a f2p pseudo-casual pew pew game like planetside. All the meaningless 'organisation' in the world isn't worth that.

So we left a token force, one Sundy, some infantry, few Magriders, then the zerg went north. By the time I logged off VS owned everything to the north except the points immediately around their warpgate and the far eastern zones. This was at 29% pop :v:
