[QUOTE=finbe;39799052][video=youtube;Tcphx28e_Ek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcphx28e_Ek[/video] Meanwhile on cobalt...[/QUOTE] I'd love to be a part of an outfit like this. However all the ones on waterson seem to be "Bravo is oscar mike stay frosty is on your 6 0'clock how copy?".

[QUOTE=Framperton;39793898]Sniper rifles one shotting on headshots never works in any multiplayer FPS? Sorry? What Multiplayer FPS games have you been playing?[/QUOTE] Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Get two sentences in before you get all excited and write up a novel. Not a goddamn line of that mess is a response to anything I said.

I'm used to tf2 rockets getting airshots on people who jump around everywhere but I can't get used to the RL in PS2 since the rockets fire at different angles, it's also pretty hard to predict the drop on them and the only vehicle they can destroy/seriously damage in one hit is the flash. Is this something that only happens on TR or do the other factions also have terrible rockets?

Everyone's rockets suck unless you are in a tank.

[QUOTE=The golden;39800265]I grow so sick and fucking tired of ESF's and libs insta-wrecking my tanks in a single pass.[/QUOTE] but ESFs can't destroy a tank with one pass?

While I dislike being murdilated by flying things, at least they have a fair chance of being shot down nowadays. My only complaint would be the effectiveness of Zephyrs on tanks, since they should be AI. And a single pass of rockets to the butt kills tanks.

I'm one of "those guys" that fly behind tank lines and blow everyone up with rockets.

That's the kind of guy everybody should be with rockets, though. I've swapped over to the blues for the time being. Their everything is more satisfying than the TR. It's fun to win every MAX fight, too.

Holy fucking shit. Waterson TRvNC battle. At minimum 4 platoon battle near the warpgate. I was up with one of the better outfits, amazingshit. We eventually won over, prowlers and infantry pushes across the entire point prevailed. We had one pubby yell CHARGE in proximity and everybody just started following him. Insane. They eventually did a galaxy rush, then once we pushed up passed the point they were attacking us from the whole time, population started to even out in our favor as they left in defeat. Here is what it looked like, think massive fucking battle scale with experienced and well trained outfits.

And this is why I love Planetside 2.

Woodman CORE outfit confirmed to be racist scumbags. Thay have "brown galaxy for brown people", "black galaxy for black people".

[QUOTE=The golden;39803588]They can from the rear. And trust me, it's piss easy getting your sights on the rear of a tank.[/QUOTE] huh, weird, it always takes me ages

[QUOTE=The golden;39800265]I grow so sick and fucking tired of ESF's and libs insta-wrecking my tanks in a single pass.[/QUOTE] Everybody's sick of something instakilling them in one pass. For infantry, it's shotguns. If they don't fix the Baby's First FPS shit there's going to be a playerbase problem soon. I had planned on spending more on this game over time, but I'm not adding another goddamn cent to this until there's more skill involved in a fight than "have the most shotguns, fire at doors continuously".

Really, what server are you on that there's these huge roving hordes of shotgun users that you keep complaining about?

I'm a Tank Buster Liberator guy, on a scale of 1 to rocket pods how bad a person am I

rocket pods

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;39805099]Mattherson, prime time.

I tend to avoid biolabs though because they suck shit, so maybe that's why. I'm going to just assume that it's TE that are the [I]biggest[/I] culprits because such a turd burgling rush "tactic" like that is right up their alley.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/NQtX6d9.png[/t] Some serious from-our-hearts generosity extravaganza, right there.

Currently fighting in a bio lab, NC hacker is shooting through the shields in the teleporter room. I manage to escape, only to be gunned down by a hacksaw max in less then a second.

[QUOTE=gudman;39805690][t]http://i.imgur.com/NQtX6d9.png[/t] Some serious from-our-hearts generosity extravaganza, right there.[/QUOTE] It's a bug. Some of us with permanent camo for armor/weapons/vehicles noticed one of each is marked out if you have it, so it's just the three 500 SC camos for 1500 SC, which is dumb, but less dumb than three 125 SC camos for 1500 SC.

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;39805099]Mattherson, prime time. You have no idea how bad this game can be until you've witnessed 200 TE with Uppercuts try taking a Biolab. [/QUOTE] The game goes to shit when TE shows up with anything, period. Either they are bunnyhopping with TMG-50s and IRNV, endlessly spamming with HE tank rounds, or nighthawking it up/uppercut now I guess. They specifically look for the most bullshit tactics, and then enforce them with the rest of their outfit, so it makes sense that if there's an imbalance somewhere with something they will be the first to abuse the shit out of it. I don't think the developers anticipated the norm for PA use would be for so many to use the same thing at the same time. I mean TE requires its members to equip x y or z for whatever bullshit 'tactic' they pull out so you will get that sort of thing with any weapon. Does double for one of the worst designed facilities in the game.

Still it's very funny. About these "bundles" not having any price drops. From the fact that this shit happens quite often, I'm starting to feel that it's some dirty business practice I'm not really expecting from a game. Special offer - buy this and have three camos at once! For the price of all three, but you will notice it only after you clicked "unlock"!

Last time my outfit (we're NC) got in a fight with TE in a biolab, they were all using TMG-50s while shit-talking in /yell. Platoon leader quickly gets tired of this and gets everyone into MAX suits. TE does not seem to learn that ScatterMAX gives no fucks, and loses the base in just a few minutes. We have libs from the second platoon blow their sundys and finish off the stragglers. They never seem to use vehicles or even MAX suits, and on a strategic level they are seriously lacking in command. Outside of biolabs and a few infantry-centric bases, they are pretty useless.

It just seems like a losing proposition. Camos should really only cost 250 sc really. None of those camos are worth 5$ in my mind. Especially since you can't even trial them. I got this snow camo for my gun thinking that it was going to be mostly black and grey like in the picture. Nope. 80% white, 10% light gray, 5% dark gray, 5% black.

The lack of black in camo patterns saddens me. I want black god damn it, I want my tank (both of them, I love Lightning and Prowler equally) to be black with red stripes. I know it's tasteless, but I want it.

[QUOTE=Gen. Crumpets;39807704]zebra camo[/QUOTE] It's more red than black.

They can shit talk all they want but it kind of loses it's edge when they make it painfully obvious that they can't do anything right. I mean, they fail super hard against largely unorganized masses of randomers time and time again. I've probably seen TE lose fights to average Joes way more times than to the goons or any of the other big Mattherson outfits.
