How is the shield pack better than the jammer pack? It barely even blocks any shots now. At least the jammer pack will protect you from turrets which are going to be everywhere in pub games.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;36336274]How is the shield pack better than the jammer pack? It barely even blocks any shots now.

Unlocked the Brute class today. Shit is pretty OP.
Since the last update I've seen a lot of people being HoF. Just a week ago seldom did I see more than one people doing HoF, sometimes not even one per team.
One entryway into a generator room is so unbelievably horrible.
The only reason I don't like the PTH shotgun is because it works awfully against saber missiles. I don't know if it's only me or something, but using the shotgun in a static stance on those missiles only work one time out of two.
i use the pth shotgun all the time to shoot sabers on me while i'm returning home with the flag.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36337983]i use the pth shotgun all the time to shoot sabers on me while i'm returning home with the flag.[/QUOTE] I don't know how you manage to do that. Do you wait for the saber to be really close ? Sometimes when I try to intercept them the spread just fuck it all up and I get killed by it, even though I carefully aimed right at it.

(Same effect as TF2.) This applies to all bullet/tracer weapons.
VGTB? I once intercepted a saber with melee. It didn't even damage me for some reason. I never pulled it off again tho.

wait until you actually see the rocket itself and not just the light it gives off, then shoot.

Why did they remove being able to exit the game's process through the ESC menu? I cannot believe that anyone could honestly misclick that. [editline]15th June 2012[/editline] You would have to have fucking double parkinsons or something

Hahaha I just joined my first game of the day, 4-0 for the Blood Eagle, I join the Butchers, literally 2 seconds after that the game ends and I get 1200 xp for my first win of the day :v:
[QUOTE=The golden;36333698]A single tech with his 2 turrets that knows what he's doing can defend a gen room by himself better than a group of heavies can.[/QUOTE] A single tech? I've been playing this game mostly only as a tech and I become helpless when two brutes drop in.
[QUOTE=krail9;36333621]you mean infiltrator is like tech in that they both start with sexy sexy default loadouts, but people moan that they suck and hence the unlockables are op? why are you putting turrets in the gen room????[/QUOTE] I defend the flag stand, mostly. but i'll deploy turrets where we need them.

I generally only play for one win a day and this frees up time for other games :)

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36345285][t]http://i.minus.com/ibgleSSrvLYsYG.png[/t] I find it funny how people still play a game, even when they are extremely mad.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of this argument I had when I was still new to the game (and defended generators) and he got angry every time I pressed VAF. But also I was in a match the other day where a rank 36 though he was the best person in the match because he played comp, all he did was spout shit for 25 minutes calling us crap because we apparently turtled when we were constantly bringing their flags back. Oh and when I got a "The Slayer" badge I pressed "VGW" and he was spouting things like "aww babby's first slayer" despite him being on the bottom half of the leader-board :v:

Did he just think he was so good, he could just stand around yelling insults?
Is the shazpunch team going to have a match this weekend?
7pm GMT Sunday, I forgot you don't have steam... for some reason
where'd the FP server go? :v
A bit off-subject if you guys don't mind. In a recent game of Tribes Ascend, someone was bitching about repeatedly dying to someone wielding the Chaingun. I said, "Dude. It's a game. Don't get your panties in a wad." Someone added, "Wait, this is a game?" Someone else said, "Is this real life?" So I continued, "Is this just fantasy?" The server kept carrying the song forward and eventually we won the match with the power of Queen. I made this image to commemorate, if no one minds. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ismq8.png[/IMG]

holy fuck team emporium still has a chance. texas milita hasn't responded and they don't have an irc or website and we're thinking maybe they dropped/disbanded and if so that means we get a free 3 points, which means we'll be up there in the top 8 position, and if the finals are going to be the top 6 or 8 we'll be in.
