[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;38582303]Nobody's going to record a video just to prove you wrong. Stop whining like a kid just because nobody agrees with you. All facilities have capture points which are open enough that with the right positioning, you can easily take out a shotgunner before he gets close enough to you. Try not running into a room like rambo and use some teamwork to clear the point. If the point IS claustrophobic enough that you can't get in with all the shotguns camping it, you have grenades.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;qy0ftPbNzho]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy0ftPbNzho[/video] No amount of pretending that isn't a direct advantage over the automatics in CQ makes it true. You can put up evidence or you can keep being wrong. This is literally the only place I've seen people argue otherwise. Are you guys insane, or just have some magical aim handicap for guns that are the easiest to shoot?

Did a trial on the vanu manticore pistol. It supposedly does more damage per shot while trading off fire rate. The difference on this front is barely noticable, at first i thought it didnt even change my gun (exact same appearance) until i noticed the different magazine size. Testing it on AFK spawn room folks showed little difference in per shot damage and time to kill was essentially the same. What there is a huge difference in though, is accuracy. The default gun is far superior here. So basically, it's bloody useless and sucks ass. Am i missing something? [editline]25th November 2012[/editline] also the H-V45 has two certs for the laser sight, is there some sort of teir two laser only available on this gun or is it a bug?

Suck it Vanu. [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/uKbBc.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

If I unlock HV ammo for a carbine, will I have it on that same carbine for another class?

Glorious new conglomerate race.

conglomerate this ~pointz to ballz~

Are the weapon statistics messed up or what? Some weapons have extremely low damage, others don't have a fire rate etc. Also as a TR infiltrator looking for a very long range single-shot sniper with the maximum amount of damage, should I go for the SR-7? I don't trust the stats ingame since they seem messed up. Ofc it doesn't have to be a single-shot sniper, but I want the maximum amount of damage per shot.

Any configs or something to help boost fps? I dont care about how it looks, I just want 60 fps.

Would 62 certs in 2.5 hours be considered good?

Time to start playing again, woohey.

I still see nothing showing me why shotguns are [i]mandatory[/i] for anything other than sprinting around picking off lone wolves who don't stick with their squad and sprint blindly around corners. Show me a video where a shotgunner kills an organised squad who know how to cover entry points and move together.

what faction should I play? I'm tired of doing damage which adds up to the square root of dick with Vanu

It is so easy to get kills with Light Assault in Biolabs. Either you sneak up on the enemy on top of the Biolab and begin to shoot them from above the landing pad entrance, or, you get inside, go on top of the central spire and shoot everyone that comes out of the spawn, throwing grenades here works wonders. No one ever see's you, your only enemy is your ammo supply.

To be honest, I do feel terrible for using the HE fagrider spam which generated my certs. I'm sure it really ruined some new players experience, for having their awesome firefight ruined over and over again by some cunt on a hill 400 meters clicking on infantry blobs and sundies.

So thanks to SOE very proffessional support i got refunded since some of my purchases never got unlocked. I'm quite happy because the response came about 5 hours after i sent the support ticket. With the refunds i finally got around making my TR engineer look badass: [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/TR_Eng01.jpg[/IMG] (Camo is called Pine Wood) Oh, for the persons who don't know if the thermal/night-vision scope is worth buying, here's some pictures showing it off: [Quote= ] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%281%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%282%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%283%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%284%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%285%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%286%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%287%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%288%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236376/Planetside%202/Thermal_NG_Scope_Samples/T_NG_S%20%20%289%29.jpg[/IMG] [/Quote] Personally i like it, it works great during nighttime and it works during daytime too. (Although it's best used in CQC during daytime.) It's not super OP but it works. You can also see cloaked players wich can be pretty useful too.

Looks as if Woodman has gone the same way as Miller. A horrible broken, laggy mess. I bet SOE are [I]really[/I] regretting going with prosat as a host. We warned them about this months ago. It'll be fine they said. They're a good company they said.

please thumb those. Just got this installed - I'd like to play with some facepunchers - what factions names etc...

The only problem with it is that it's pretty hard to make out who's friendly and who isn't when zoomed in since everybody glows bright white, but the nametags generally make sure you don't teamkill. [editline]25th November 2012[/editline] One thing that bugs me a lot is that I bought the vehicle ammo supply cert for my sunderer and I don't get resupply XP for it. It doesn't resupply my own sunderer's ammo either which kind of sucks.
