The Reflex Sight 2x doesn't actually seem to magnify at all. It just seems like the first sight with more lines.

I've been waiting to get a key for two months...

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;37611321][img_thumb]http://puu.sh/13JKD[/img_thumb] East 3, and TR is going to win.[/QUOTE] I was playing TR on East 3 last night. We had a few squads in action, namely separate ground and air squads. I was bombing in a lib all night and holy shit did I get a lot of kills. For days now, NC and VS have ganged up on us. Guess our guys finally got organized :)

[QUOTE=DeandreT;37613835]The Reflex Sight 2x doesn't actually seem to magnify at all. It just seems like the first sight with more lines.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it does. Anyway I much prefer the basic reflex sights. Less zoom, more vision, it feels more responsive aswell.

[QUOTE=DeandreT;37613835]The Reflex Sight 2x doesn't actually seem to magnify at all. It just seems like the first sight with more lines.[/QUOTE] It does, but 2x is just not that noticeable. EDIT: Fuck off you dirty TR ninja.

Servers are now online

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37608149]Can the reaver or mosquito do something like this? [t]https://i.minus.com/ilv8y9L2Balwm.png[/t][t]https://i.minus.com/ibqiUDwQGeBAGg.png[/t] Basically almost hover in a position? Asking since in dog fights and such I've seen (at least the Reaver) hover mid air for quite some time, but I never really saw anyone do something like pictured above.[/QUOTE] Yeh I do that all the time in my Reaver. Useful for solo capping bases when you want quick response time for getting out.

hnnngh I can't decide between TR or VS for my main faction. I prefer the VS style and magriders, and that they're the underdogs. But I much prefer the TR weapons. Not that I don't do well with VS weapons, they just don't feel 'good' or satisfying. Not to mention they have became the defacto close ranged faction which doesn't make much sense. It's like they traded place with the PS1 TR. I'll see what comes of the planned buffs and changes to the VS.

Got the new mouse and plenty other things. Did they buff the cloak for Inf? Before I couldn't walk past anyone cloaked. Now no one notices me? Did they buff it or are the particular NC and VS I fight idiots?

So, i just got a key and i love this game, is there any FP chat or help chat for new players?

[QUOTE=Lamar;37610491]Okay, is it me or did they do something funky to collisions? My magrider today has exploded 3 times today solely from bumping into things. It wasn't even damaged, I'd be hovering along, minding my own business and the damn thing would explode on it's own if I would brush against something.[/QUOTE] Vanu has such advanced technology.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37613969]Not to mention they have became the defacto close ranged faction which doesn't make much sense. [/QUOTE] This is one thing I dislike about the VS. Oh look, barely any recoil! BUT our weapons do shit damage at long range.

What is the max amount of players in a server at?

No one knows.

[QUOTE=Starship;37614813]What is the max amount of players in a server at?[/QUOTE] 1800-2000 at release IIRC, but not sure what it is currently, doesn't seem like ~1800 at all right now, though. Way less.

So I just started the game, What "republic"/whatever does people here play and what server (if you get to choose that is?)

[QUOTE=Starship;37614975]So I just started the game, What "republic"/whatever does people here play and what server (if you get to choose that is?)[/QUOTE] There's a list of people on which faction and server [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiiZ6UvZKhs2dFVTOFJiN0FJOTd0WFFUVFJfbHFsX2c#gid=0]here[/url]

The new thread should have the link itself pasted into the title.

Sorry, I didn't know about that.

Any cool Euro dudes down to play with a staunch german nazi sometime? Also, what faction?

[QUOTE=Starship;37615119]Sorry but I don't understand much of it, where does it say what faction?[/QUOTE] The colours and the TR, NC, VS kinda give it away.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37615181]The colours and the TR, NC, VS kinda give it away.[/QUOTE] Sorry didn't see the "TR NC VS". I think i'll go NC. Is it possible to change later?

The whole vanu thing doesn't make a lot of sense. If I remember correctly, there's no bullet drop on their weapons, but at any range for that to be an actual upside you lose damage anyway. Coupled with the high accuracy and no recoil, it's like... imagine if the sniper rifle in TF2 suffered from damage fall-off and ramp-up like everything else. That's what playing Vanu is like.

[QUOTE=Starship;37615193]Sorry didn't see the "TR NC VS". I think i'll go NC. Is it possible to change later?[/QUOTE] Currently, during the beta there is no restrictions on how many characters you can make, along with factions.

[QUOTE=Starship;37615193]Sorry didn't see the "TR NC VS". I think i'll go NC. Is it possible to change later?[/QUOTE] Tip: Create several characters. They will farm cert points.

I'm getting some weird crackling noise in audio when playing, any idea what this is?

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37615414]Tip: Create several characters. They will farm cert points.[/QUOTE] wait do cert points transfer over

Oh wow, spawned and fell through the map.

[QUOTE=Turing;37615487]wait do cert points transfer over[/QUOTE] No. But they earn them passively even when not online.
