Come on SOE, give us MCGs

[QUOTE=Killerjc;37599739]once you're able to purchase weapons you'll be set[/QUOTE] wait what

[QUOTE=Simplemac3;37599794]wait what[/QUOTE] you can buy weapons that would be more attuned to your playstyle soon

i wish they'd make the infiltrator an actual infiltration class and removed their sniper and gave them c4 or something, and instead give the sniper as a costly unlock for light assault or something it just makes it so there's a shitload of people sniping and sniping classes makes these kinds of games dull in ps1 the snipers were underpowered but the way they worked was actually pretty cool

tbh i was worried about an overabundance of snipers but it doesn't seem to be really that common. the sniping mechanics are complicated enough that they actually make people think twice about stacking infiltrator

One complaint, one question; The auto-drive on vehicle purchase has to go, I've killed so many people and driven into so many ditches because I don't have any control over my vehicle for the first 3 seconds of its lifetime. Do Claymores even work at this point? I've been putting them down around chokepoints ever since they finally unlocked them, and on more than one occasion I've seen enemies run past it only for it to blow up half a second after they passed it. I don't agree with instant claymores, but even when placed at angles where they'd be in its cone of "fire" even with the slight delay I haven't seen people sustain a single injury from it.

Anyone got a beta key spare? Out of all my mates I'm the only one who doesn't have one and it sucks I've signed up on the site, looked on their facebook and tweeted at them and nothing

East 02, Terrans Rule it, they have the entire map and 51% of the pop.

I mean personally, Infiltrator with a sniper is pretty crap. But I'm looking forward to trying them out with the SMG.

[QUOTE=KorJax;37596793]Lol oh yeah forgot about that After this many pages in and nobody noticed it though, goes to show how silly OP's are lol[/QUOTE] I noticed it! But I didn't say anything. :smile: It doesn't have to be anything major, but the link to the Google docs document would be helpful at least.

So you can't change vehicle controls right now?

Not a bad list. I was put off by the whole ~esports~ thing. But 240v240 does sound fun to watch.

MAX changes finally. And the influence changes are pretty much exactly what I hoped they would do. As long as they make it so hexes flash when being contested, then I wouldn't have any issue with them bringing back backhacking.

After flying in PS2 for a while, I have no idea how to fly jets in BF3 now. :v:

IMO backhacking wasn't bad itself, what was bad was that the map gave you no warning, it was super easy to backhack with just one guy, and you had no real downside to doing it over front line caps. If they made it so you needed more people to cap a point when backhaccking as well as alerting the faction when territory is being flipped, that would largely solve the "anyone and everyone backhacks" issuethey had before.

[QUOTE=KorJax;37601979]If they made it so you needed more people to cap a point when backhaccking as well as alerting the faction when territory is being flipped, that would largely solve the "anyone and everyone backhacks" issuethey had before.[/QUOTE] They need to make backhacking super slow when you're doing it solo, and increase the speed bit by bit the more people you have. Alert people on the map (although I'm still kinda unpleased about this. Alerting globally would completely ruin any stealth tactics to cap an area. Maybe something like you can see if anything in the next 3-4 hex areas around you is being capped.

[QUOTE=Simplemac3;37599678]So NC has a really good Carbine/Assault Rifle, and TR has an astonishingly good Sniper Rifle. I miss looting weapons from other factions, I really do.[/QUOTE] NC have the best sniper rifle for actual sniping, as it's a one-shot kill with a headshot. TR sniper is easier to use and better at closer range, though.

[QUOTE=Saber15;37602129]NC have the best sniper rifle for actual sniping, as it's a one-shot kill with a headshot. TR sniper is easier to use and better at closer range, though.[/QUOTE] If you're good at sniping in TF2 you can easily use the NC sniper at close range.

[QUOTE=Saber15;37602129]NC have the best sniper rifle for actual sniping, as it's a one-shot kill with a headshot. [/QUOTE] And one shot body shot on close up range, unless those 5-7 deaths yesterday by close up NC snipers were all just me being unlucky.

[QUOTE=Tureis;37602187]If you're good at sniping in TF2 you can easily use the NC sniper at close range.[/QUOTE] The enormous scope puts you at a bit of a disadvantage. If I could strip the scope off, I'd use it 24/7. :v:

Anyone got any spare beta keys? I could trade one for a War of the Roses key, I don't have much interest for that game right now but I'd really like to play PS2.

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37602119]They need to make backhacking super slow when you're doing it solo, and increase the speed bit by bit the more people you have. Alert people on the map (although I'm still kinda unpleased about this. Alerting globally would completely ruin any stealth tactics to cap an area. Maybe something like you can see if anything in the next 3-4 hex areas around you is being capped.[/QUOTE] Well the "stealth" idea would be to get in the first place. Realistically nobody is going to plop a flag within your borders, take control over things, call it "home" and have nobody notice that this is going on. The stealth aspect is getting in and making the attack unnoticed. Nobody will likely send their whole army to stop a single guy or two from back capping, so likely only a guy or two would bother to investigate a cap going underway. Which makes it all the deadlier when you show up to investigate the problem only to learn theres a squad of 12 men there from a galaxy. The capture is already decided at that point - the thing is though, it took an organized squad of 12 guys to do versus just one or two schmucks. That's when surprise backhacking should be rewarded/a thing.

Hey guys is there a chance any of you lovely chaps are willing to trade a beta key for a Firefall key (or two)?

I hope they actually make it so we can have crisp non blurry edges like this, or at least a mix of it without having to edit files after the patcher is launched: Oh great, need to rehost. Can't use imgur anymore, so much compression it's stupid.
