Quick question: how do I lock my vehicle?

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38111029]Quick question: how do I lock my vehicle?[/QUOTE] Hit N and then select Lock vehicle from the menu that pops up.

[QUOTE=mcattack1092;38111035]Hit N and then select Lock vehicle from the menu that pops up.[/QUOTE] It's Page Down now, I believe.

[QUOTE=zombojoe;38110958]Wow getting the Sunderer mobile deployment upgrade is easy XP. All you gotta do is drive to the front lines and camp closer to the battle than the other sunderers around. Everyone will automatically choose yours, at one point I didn't stop constantly receiving XP notifications for 3 whole minutes.[/QUOTE] I find it funny that in PS1 CR5's had to beg people to bring AMS, whereas in PS2 atleast for now there are plenty.

[QUOTE=maqzek;38106531]There should be some sort of weapon test thing. Either instanced or limited to weapon test room. It's really annoying to buy stuff blindly, even more so that you can't refund or undo it. Do they really think it's okay to waste like 400 certs just to go "lol shit weapon, o wel, another week 2 grind, dont realy mind cuz i hav no life neway"[/QUOTE] Speaking of that, has anyone used the EM9 or GD-7F for the NC? How is it compared to the default carbine?

Good God they need to fix up the render distance for infantry units. I know they're working on getting it optimized and that this may be a temporary solution, but there's a heavy fight at TI Alloys and as a sniper I couldn't even see enemy infantry across the road which kind of defeats the purpose. On a similar note, not even the combined might of the Vanu Sovereignty and the New Conglomerate can defeat the Terran Republic.

Getting really bored of tank drivers swinging out, just tapping me with the side of their tank and me instantly dying

Anyone else getting vertical mouse inversion when in vehicles sometimes?

Finally scraped 48 certs together, what should I get?

[QUOTE=Darth Hater;38111359]Speaking of that, has anyone used the EM9 or GD-7F for the NC? How is it compared to the default carbine?[/QUOTE] I've used both. The GD 7F does the same damage, same accuracy but fires much faster, making it less stable. You can also put a suppressor, reflex sight and laser dot on it. The EM 9 does the highest damage out of both of them, has the lowest rate of fire, and only has a mag cap of 20. You can't put a suppressor on it, but you get access to higher powered scopes and can put a forward rail on it.

Does anyone of you guys know how to fix the error G25? 2 of my friends are having the problem now, and I haven't found any real fix to the problem. Sony describes it as follows: "G25 Error There was an issue accessing your video card. Update your video card drivers from the manufacturer's website. If that doesn’t work a new video card may be required." They both have GPU well over the minimum specs, GTS 450 for the other and hd 6870 for another. Both have updated to latest drivers, still no luck. Help would be appreciated.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;38112009]Anyone else getting vertical mouse inversion when in vehicles sometimes?[/QUOTE] Happens to me when driving a Quad. It's funny because it seems to be based on the Quad's facing, like if I'm facing north the controls are fine but if I'm facing south the controls get inverted, if I'm facing E or W the controls get all fucked up.

What is the best way to get hold of a PS2 beta key these days? My friend wants to catch the end of beta.

If you go to tawrich or something and park by the entrance you can make mad billz. I was there for about 20 minutes and made at least 150 certs. I also recommend one fury gun for the sunderer - you can take out those pesky magriders etc with it. I'm currently saving for blockade armour, is it any good?

I wish the vehicle ammo supply cert for the sunderer actually gives you xp on giving ammo. Right now it's not worth it driving around with that thing.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);38113053]I wish the vehicle ammo supply cert for the sunderer actually gives you xp on giving ammo.

It'd be nice to get xp but it's not essential to make it worthwhile. It'd be nicer to have a big ammo sign float above the sunderer imo. The only annoying part about it for me is that it doesn't give ammo to your own vehicle. wtf is with that.

It feels like it is alot easier to kill people now.

Logged in today, changed settings to medium based on the recommendations from this thread. No significant fps difference after restart, but now my sound glitches out on medium or max. Any known fixes? Its quite annoying, as if the game freezes (it doesn't) and the sound stops for a second.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;38112363]Finally scraped 48 certs together, what should I get?[/QUOTE] Skyguard cause it locks down the sky, or burster cause dual bursters is beast at knocking down air and it's suprisingly good at shredding infantry.

When did they change the VS music? Gives me a Battlestar Galactic vibe now, love it. Unless it's just me remembering it wrongly since I haven't listened to the music for like 2 months or so.

[QUOTE=cdr248;38113267]It feels like it is alot easier to kill people now.[/QUOTE] Isn't that because they removed the one shot = one frame bug?

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;38113769] Didn't think stuff like that would be appearing this soon.[/QUOTE] You would be surprised at how fast people make aimbots for games. I am almost certain that people already started trying to make an aimbot for the game in the first week of the beta.

~release-ready~ ...with aimbots at launch readily available to purchase/download.

I'm pretty scared, actually. A free to play game where it is easy to tk, aimbots already in creation, and the optional payment to skip the grind.

I've pretty much given up hope of PS2 as being a good F2P.

I'm sure it'll be fine though, battlefield 3 has the same issues but you don't see many hackers. A lot of money has gone into this and to think they don't have any anti cheat technology is silly.

Right now I have zero faith that this game is in anywhere near a ready state for public consumption.
