The last hotfix seems to have fixed my mouse problems, for now , at least.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;33761943]The last hotfix seems to have fixed my mouse problems, for now , at least.[/QUOTE] If you've got mouse problems I feel bad for you son, but I've got 99 mortar kills and mouse wasn't used once.
someone just gave me a beta key, might try this game out :D
When does the beta end, I got a key but I cant use it untill next week, if it ends soon after that, then someone else can have it
Who the hell can use safety third other than the sentinel(it gives +1 to claymores/mines)
Holy crap I just impact nitron'd someone into my spinfuser disc
[QUOTE=Crimor;33763800]Who the hell can use safety third other than the sentinel(it gives +1 to claymores/mines)[/QUOTE] I have a suspicion that the technician can use it to deploy three turrets.

[QUOTE=reecematee;33763748]When does the beta end, I got a key but I cant use it untill next week, if it ends soon after that, then someone else can have it[/QUOTE] Closed beta will slowly phase into open beta, and open beta will slowly phase into final release. All stats, skills, perks, unlocks, etc. will transfer over.
Question; When do you start unlocking other perks? I've got 2 out of the 12 or so for my ranger. Are those for other classes, or do I earn them somehow?
I got a beta key. Do they send them out randomly or something? I dont remember registering for it or anything :S
[QUOTE=StormHammer;33768646]Question; When do you start unlocking other perks? I've got 2 out of the 12 or so for my ranger.

You start off with the Determination and Extra Charge perk, and each class has a their own perk pair, when unlocked, can be used on any class loadout. Personally, Survivalist perk found in the Ranger's skill tree is an absolute must.

Too bad I suck balls with the Ranger after the hitscan change and having played Pathfinder almost exclusively for the last week.
huh.....just got an invitation to the beta......yet I never applied Anyway, it got me curious, so is it any good? I can't try it right now.
Yay, after 5 matches I'm a fourth of the way to getting the Survivalist perk!

I can't try it right now.[/QUOTE] You got it for having global agenda. The same happened to me. This game is fun, anyways. It's a bit frustrating when someone shoots you from a million miles away and you can't find them. It can also be hard to score a kill when people are constantly whizzing around (especially with arced projectiles), but it just makes kills more satisfying. I'm still a noob, though.
Hang about, you get a key for having global agenda? ..Well, fuck, I play global agenda :v: Also, I unlocked pathfinder today, and it's awesome. Everyday i'm pathfindin'
Trying to snipe people with the Sentinel is insane. I've got like a 50/50 hit ratio when I do take the shot, feels good when a hit actually lands on someone. Best kills are headshots on lights running with our flag. You can just feel the rage coming off that guy. I'm a little worried that a big skill gap is developing though. Teams feel like they're stacked almost every game due to no scramble or auto-assign. We shouldn't be picking teams at all, just randomly assigned. As it is now ~6 people for each team will join up, then everyone else waits to see where the high rankers go.
I agree Ghost. Just lost a game cause the teams were imbalanced extremely to the Blood Eagles. I was leading my team and not even doing very good, and the top 4 people on the enemy team all had better scores than me.. Also, is there any point to jumping in this game? Seems like it does you no good and if you are jumping you aren't jetpacking or skiing fast enough to not get pegged by a spinfusor.
Just got an awesome midair shot while grabbing the enemy flag on Bella Omega. Feels good man
The snow maps are terrible. Drydock CTF is the best one by far.

Using it in concert with jetpack is another story. At high speeds, doing small jumps will only slow you down.
I think i fallen in love with the tank. Planning on getting the Eng class so i can repair it (at least faster, i assume that he repairs faster someone correct me if im wrong) and to place some turrets around my position, i tend to annoy a lot of people D: [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/651000236646345980/C01F7D205C99C3906CBBD2CF71846D3D0E53E0F4/[/t] [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/651000236646346732/935A9F85F33FB675588A53177E137998D706152E/[/t] The Ultra kill wasn't with the tank obviously, it was the most awesome Orbital Strike that i ever managed to pull so far, doubt i'll pull another one. Question: the share exp thing isn't working is it ?
Earlier I got a triple kill on three heavies in the Crossfire generator room using a Raider grenade launcher. [QUOTE=PT-Desu;33774127]I think i fallen in love with the tank.

What determines how many tokens you get per match? Because one match I can play extremely well, lots of kills, and keep the flag for a majority of the round (Team Deathmatch) and only get about 50 tokens, then the next round I'll only do "ok" and end up getting like 60 tokens or something.

I just went 21-1 without any vehicles. Too bad I'll never be able to play that well again.
Okay reminder for the future do not play this game at four thirty in the morning. For the amusement of both teams, I made about four really nice one after another, 170kmh ranger passes by the flag. Always about half a meter away from. The enemy team stopped shooting at me for the fourth pass :~
