I thought you were using the same shotgun I was using until I realized yours has 30 shots.

Man they need to make the models more unique.

[QUOTE=thisguy123;39970145]I will say this, It's going to be Hilarious using the lancer as an oversized sniper rifle.

Except the Lancer does bugger-all damage to infantry.

Just bought a GTX 660 ti, hopefully I will get better frame rate now.

Okay, so in a world where you're using ESP hacks to identify things outside your line of sight, it's effective. Try again, moron.

Or is the idea you'll just spam rockets all day in wide arcs until you maybe see something? It wouldn't be the most contrived bullshit I've heard yet.

It could be spotted on the mini-map, or you could see it prior to hiding behind a wall or building.

Cool your jets. If we absolutely must rage, at least wait until the stuff in question is actually released.

it's totally not like vehicles show up on the minimap by default without stealth.

I ARRIVED AS SOON AS I HEARD FPS PATCH

IS IT TRUE? DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?

If by works you mean gets you back to Pre-Patch 04 frame rate levels than for the most part, yes.

If you mean gets you back to Beta performance than hahahahaha no.

i started playing planetside 2, played all 3 factions, and their maxes

and i realized

vanu maxes are terrible pieces of shit

is it a tribute to zoidberg, cause they're shit like him

Zone restarts to fix performance issues

The striker is going to have the fastest infantry VS vehicle TTK in the game, going to be fantastic when TE exploits the living shit out of it. [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/1ajw0p/turns_out_that_shooting_down_an_incoming_phoenix/c8y51av](Source)[/url]

Clearly someone never played the original Planetside. Phoenix made assaulting any NC base with vehicles a god damn nightmare. Sure, the Striker did more damage over time, and the Lancer was more versatile, but the Phoenix guaranteed your defenders could hold much longer than you would expect. You were never safe from the Phoenix.

Zoidberg isn't shit though don't ever let me catch you saying that again.

There's this thing called "teamwork", right, where you have one member of your squad observe, spot and call out targets for the rest of the squad. Should try it sometime.

One to observe the fight and to sacrifice his CPU for looking anywhere in the direction of a biolab

One to snipe from 30m away because players dissapear in front of him

One heavy to kill infantry, tanks and aircraft

And 5 medics to keep farming the same dumbshit who keeps accepting the revive option in front of the enemy campdoors :v:

(this may be ironic but whens the last time you saw good teamwork in a big fight and not farm simulator 2013)

Was I wrong in reading that they would have account level unlocks and test servers up this weekend?

Or was it just test servers. Because I could have sworn Higby mentioned that there would be test servers up this weekend.

I've never got a chance to see some proper teamwork, so I usually freelance during base captures. The enemy hardly expects to see a Medic charge in from the back and that's funny. Might be a stupid way to do it, but if my team is gonna just sit in one place, someone's gotta do something.

And GR-22 fucks people up at close range.

If the enemies are doing the same, you can't expect big groups to use unconventional tactics.

They really need to address the fact that the Crown and TI Alloys have too much focus. Last night the VS was holding the Crown and nothing else. We had no other places, but [I][B]dammit we have to have the Crown.[/B][/I]

I saw the little ad for them in the launcher for the first time yesterday.

[Penna]

Just a few more certs and I can buy a gun, finally. Was planning on getting the longshot once I got to this point, but now I'm kind of thinking about one of the SMG's.

[Framperton]

Stumbled across this when I asked a family friend about shotgun ballistics, during my document forming process to make a balanced and fair suggestion to increase the range of semi auto and PA shotguns.

But the pellet velocity ingame is actually quite slower than that of 12 gauge shotguns in real life.
Slowest ingame pellet velocity for the VS is 255 meters per second (although they have no drop)
whereas the most comparable types of shotguns (NC and TR) have a velocity of 275-300 meters per second.

What's the standard muzzle velocity for a 12 gauge? I was told it was roughly 1400 Feet per second, or 427 meters per second.

I understand that most of the weapons in this game have a drastically reduced muzzle velocity in comparison to their real world counterparts, but why do you think it was gimped that heavily?

I'm not proposing that they all be changed to higher values, but wouldn't it have enabled better, longer range firefights? Bullet drop would have been a bit more predictable factor to go by, I think.

My reasoning as to why they changed it was possibly because there wasn't enough cover to facilitate those sorts of fights and that each battle would been a high-optic standoff. That and maybe facilities weren't big enough either. I mean the ranges fights normally take place usually negate drop anyways.

Meh, just something I found a little odd.

[Mastahamma]

most assault rifles have a muzzle velocity of 900+ m/s, yet I really doubt you can find one that can do over 600 m/s in the game

all guns have slow bullets here

Considering that they claim they made the crown like that on purpose I doubt they'll change it.
