[QUOTE=Pandamox;38569471]so today i found out when you deploy from an air pod you can take out enemy galaxy's if you land on top of them.[/QUOTE] Literally spiritual successor to BF2142. Landing on dem tanks was the best thing ever.

[QUOTE=Araknid;38569847]Is it just me or are the vanu carbines and assault rifles overpowered compared to TR atleast. I spray rounds into him as much as he sprays rounds into me and I always die. Even if I shoot first.[/QUOTE] Sometimes it just feels like the enemies weapons are over powered. I kinda felt the same about the TR weapons in the beginning, but I realised it all comes down to skill (and lag) :P Anyone who have mastered the art of controlled bursts for the specific weapon that they use and proper aiming, preferably towards the head can drop an enemy extremely fast.

[QUOTE=Broguts;38569756]You ever been in an upside down liberator?[/QUOTE] ever since they took the zephyr away from the lib as the default gun. my buddies and i use the lib as an ASF hunter. its like they dont expect the shredder to do just that. on a side note, does anyone know if the dalton is any good? and does it have splash? i dont want to grind for two weeks for it to be garbage...

[QUOTE=Araknid;38569847]Is it just me or are the vanu carbines and assault rifles overpowered compared to TR atleast. I spray rounds into him as much as he sprays rounds into me and I always die. Even if I shoot first.[/QUOTE] Vanu weapons have to be somewhat OP in close because of the damage loss over range mechanic they have in (that isnt actually balanced by anything significant on the other side)

But if the other factions weapons can maintain their standard damage over range does not that actually mean it is balanced?

So I bought 4000 SC. I plan on tricking out my Scythe and Magrid(iforgetspelling) tank

[QUOTE=Brt5470;38570050]So I bought 4000 SC. I plan on tricking out my Scythe and Magrid(iforgetspelling) tank[/QUOTE] magrider? Mag-rider? as in rides on magnetic technology shit?

That vanu hoard is redonkulus and those scythes never stop [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8682580/PlanetSide2%202012-11-23%2019-57-27-66.png[/img] A2A pods are very useful on the reaver.

[QUOTE=Stalk;38570037]But if the other factions weapons can maintain their standard damage over range does not that actually mean it is balanced?[/QUOTE] That assumes that method of balancing actually creates a balanced feeling game. I dont think it does. [editline]23rd November 2012[/editline] this is was the state of things on waterson earlier, nobody has retaken the continent bonuses yet tho.

What carbine would you guys recommend for a TR light assault?

I want to be good at scythe I really do I just gah

At least the experimental vanu aircraft managed to reach 243kph [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOYpN38f-nQ&feature=youtu.be[/media] I just thought I would try out the ingame recorder a few minutes before woodman was going to be restarted. I like the simplicity. Not so much the quality. . [editline]24th November 2012[/editline] I had finally certed the last chassis upgrade for 400 certs. Dat height. I can pass over all waist high obstacles like fences and even lightnings without even noticing much. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/cfQsy.jpg[/thumb] [editline]24th November 2012[/editline] Also huehuehue silly NC. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/aW3zs.jpg[/thumb] = [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/IJzGc.jpg[/thumb] Those two deaths were from dicking around on foot for a few minutes when the NC nearly overan that outpost we were defending. So probably like a 120 kill streak.

Can anyone compare the rival combat chassis and racer high speed chassis? Like, is one better than the other for most situations or..?

I haven't tried the racer yet. But in the beta the magrider could hit 70kph so I've heard, but I wasn't playing. I think it has gotten nerfed down to 64kph according to the forums. I like the rival chassis so far because it makes you really manoeuvrable and unpredictable in your movements , it really has saved my might on many occasions.

So I have rocket pods, hover 1, and stealth 1(so you don't auto show up on the minimap), what should I get next? Thinking faster respawn.

I only use the 1 cert faster respawn. Normally I try to keep alive longer than my spawn timer, but with aircraft I do find that a little difficult I'll admit.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38570824]I only use the 1 cert faster respawn. Normally I try to keep alive longer than my spawn timer, but with aircraft I do find that a little difficult I'll admit.[/QUOTE] The trick is using actual modern gunship/air superiority fighter tactics. AKA try to stay out of sight until you fire and keep your distance if you can.

has anyone had success splitting voice and game sound between speakers and headphones? PS2 seems to lack the playback device selection present in most games.

stop disconnecting the aussie server soe you fucknuts >:(

This game is so much fun.

[QUOTE=krail9;38570972]stop disconnecting the aussie server soe you fucknuts >:([/QUOTE] I agree, and allow me to express the situation that just happened in the form of a Ke$ha song: "Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like TR Gonna Blast some Vanu scum and Ro- BRIGGS IS DOWN? MOTHER FU-"

Any other glorious TR on Waterson?

I'm starting to get a bit better. Upgraded my light assault trooper with a foregrip, 2x reflex sight, faster sprinting, increased jump pack duration, shields, and health. Still not getting 120 kill streaks, but I kept a 3:2 KD, so I guess I wasn't doing terribly! I'll prolly get another level of upgrades all around for the light trooper, and then start upgrading a vehicle. I'm a bit unsure about which one to upgrade, though. I was thinking of the fighters, but I'm kinda shit at them. The liberator is fun, but I like gunning for it a lot more than flying. I might just upgrade the lightning, since its fast and readily available! Is the Anti-Air primary turret actually effective at taking down airships? Can it still kill infantry? A great big AA machinegun seems like it'd make quick work of infantry, too, but you never really know with this game!

They just shut down jaeger during the biggest battle ive seen yet. at least 100 people on each side aka a giant meatgrinder

Seriously what the fuck smedley Im TR on jaeger, only like one plot away from VR and NC to conquering Indar, and they decide to restart the server. What the fuck. [img]http://i.imgur.com/8gcoq.jpg[/img] Im real god damned mad
