is the plasma gun any good? I kind of want it.

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;36012044]You know what? Claymores are useless for flag defense. They are fat and very visible from a mile away. Even prism mines are better plus cappers always destroy the claymores but not any of the mines.[/QUOTE] incorrect I unlocked SEN just for the hell of it yesterday Claymores are great for flag def, as long as you spread them around a little

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;36012563]Automatic shotgun works like a charm when you fight heavy vs heavy since they took low damage from the Hspinfusor get they lard full of lead and watch them drop death. The nova colt...is just like the eagle pistol for the soldier but with less spam. A very very good weapon to kill any low health enemy with two or less shots. Usually you just splash damage them and one shot kill them with the nova colt (not the raider if the bastard got the shield up)[/QUOTE] The nova colt truly is a great buy - Hitting pesky paths is with your spinfusor isn't always easy so a gun that eats 15% of their health per shot after you hit them the once is great to finish them up. Gave me a reason to actually switch weapon from the spinfusor.

i dunno man the autoshotgun is pretty good too i mean it has a silly long range for a shotgun and you dont have to perfectly hit them with it

A good capper is gonna shoot the flagstand always, but more mines/claymores lets you spread them out more. He can't always get all of them

[QUOTE=Clio;36013405]incorrect I unlocked SEN just for the hell of it yesterday Claymores are great for flag def, as long as you spread them around a little[/QUOTE] I haven't see a single claymore killing a flag carrier. They always shot at the flagstand, clean the claymores away and the dbm mines got them.

[QUOTE=Dragon;36015435]A good capper is gonna shoot the flagstand always, but more mines/claymores lets you spread them out more.

Infiltrator is now one of my favorite classes, even without many upgrades. Sticky grenades are so much fun to use on techs repairing things.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36017898]Oh, you son of a...[/QUOTE] eh, they're mostly harmless until they unlock/buy the jackal

[QUOTE=Clio;36017989]Don't worry, they're mostly harmless until they unlock/buy the jackal[/QUOTE] I find the backstabbing ones hilarious. Here I am, minding my own business while repairing the generator when some guy suddenly appears beside me and tickles away half my health.

[QUOTE=Clio;36017989]eh, they're mostly harmless until they unlock/buy the jackal[/QUOTE] then you haven't played against me.

What's the server password?

I've spent entire games just focusing on 1 guy and it's fun as hell.

Oh man, duels in this game is so fun You both jetpack around, waiting for the other guy to land so that you can shoot your spinfusor at his feet. So, I had one of those shit encounters. We had an intense staredown mid-air, so I said FUCK IT. I literally made him eat the spinfusor I crammed down his throat. My god, best blue-plate ever.

Reinstalled windows, no more crashing, feels good man

[QUOTE=Shadiko;36013264]is the plasma gun any good? I kind of want it.[/QUOTE] It's great for dueling, but I find it to be pretty shit at destroying base assets.

-snip, sue me-

Playing arena as a pathfinder with a modicum of lag and a slight lack of skill is like being fucked in the arse by a wolverine.

I really hate the "the floor is lava" concept with the soldier. But luckily I have an eagle to these fuckers can eat shit and die

So... I finally finished downloading it on my computer. It runs slower than a fat hooker on Sunday. I went to my friend's house earlier and played it on his rig. Holy shit I can't wait till this summer so I can build a gaming computer. This game is fucking amazing.

Are the soldier's proximity grenades any good? How much damage do they deal?

[QUOTE=ryanmh12;36023445]Are the soldier's proximity grenades any good? How much damage do they deal?[/QUOTE] they're good for playing light defense on the flag. but that's from my perspective when playing scrims. idk about pub play.

[QUOTE=Gum;36020666]There's a reason I have Close Combat on almost all my classes. "You back stabbed me? Cute."[/QUOTE] Do you really get backstabbed that often? I've been backstabbed maybe 3 times since playing this game.
