Planetside 2 V6 - VS capped Indar? It's more likely than you think - Games

[QUOTE=kenji;41711569]Infil's shouldve kept shotguns imho.[/QUOTE] Inf should be able to do more in CQC as their name implies it but being able to one shot people is power nobody should have especially not infs.

[QUOTE=alexojm;41711519]Think about the name. You don't play as a sniper or a recon you play as an infiltrator. That means your job is to get inside and do damage. The problem is that you can uncloak shoot the enemy from behind and they can just turn around and easily kill you during the process. If I have the advantage of surprise I aim for the head and unload what else is there I can do to win. Because of this I play Engineer primarily and fly. If I go down I swap to tank, repair friendly vehicles or swap to inf depending on the situation. If the infiltrator could do more for CQC like its name implies I would actually use it more. I am not saying infs should be able to one shot everybody up close but if I take someone by surprise from behind I should have far more a chance of winning the fight than I do now.[/QUOTE] infiltrator someone who takes up a position surreptitiously for the purpose of espionage But tbh, if you're having trouble playing a cloaking SMG, you're probably doing something wrong

it was dumb

inf SMG's still do a good job at that though.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);41712751]inf SMG's still do a good job at that though.[/QUOTE] Not if you want to try and take on a heavy. My hailstorm has a 60 round magazine and a heavy can take almost the entire thing. It takes so long to kill a heavy they have more than enough time to turn around and kill you. That is just silly.

they die just fine

they do when facing the NC blitz, that thing rapes shit.

So I'm thinking of getting into this game, but it sounds pretty hard to do that. What're some tips to get me started so I don't end up jumping the gun and saying the game is retarded?

[QUOTE=alexojm;41708525]I hate how infiltrators are supposed to be the kings of indoor combat with their stealthiness and yet I can uncloak and whilst unloading my entire magazine into a heavies back he can just turn and one shot me with a shotgun. Give me a sword and I will show those fuckers what for.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=alexojm;41712226]I don't have a problem I racked up a 1000+ kills with my hailstorm as inf in a month but I still feel the weapons could be better.[/QUOTE] Maybe try not using the low-power large-magazine SMG if your goal is being "king of indoor combat". You should be using the Armistice or a close-range bolt and heavy handgun for ninja Infiltrator. [QUOTE=alexojm;41712912]Not if you want to try and take on a heavy.

Advice sorta requires budget, faction preference, and preferred FPS roles, since each faction limits free players to some radically different shit initially and the late game for multiple roles is radically different.

That is what's silly. Either take the extra half a second to aim for the head or pick another target.

[QUOTE]Infil stuff[/QUOTE] Just imagine your worst enemy on the server killing you over and over with a shotgun that you never see until it's too late.

Okay, reinstalling this game now seeing that I haven't played since the beta. Did they fix most of the optimization issues? My GFX card is a complete piece of shit (ASUS HD 6450, make all the jokes you want), but at the very least it can run games medium to low settings at an acceptable 30-45 frames if I turn the fancy stuff like bloom and anti-aliasing off. The last time I played (beta) I had to turn everything to extreme bottom to get decent FPS, but I still got decent FPS. Hoping that I can turn graphics up a tad bit and get about the same. Also, anything else I should know about what's changed before hopping in?

I tried a month ago and even on my gtx580 and i7920@4.0ghz the fps was still so bad on all settings. Its really pathetic.

Still, no.

It has more range, can put down more damage faster (AFAIK) than the Hailstorm, carries a good supply of spare ammo, its firing noise will make players think there's a sniper nearby rather than a face-rapey scout rifle, and it's cheap - 250 certs IIRC. You can't run into a room and kill four people with one mag like you can with the Hailstorm, but you can actually kill players more than 10 feet away with it.

I got the TSAR because hey it's a bolt action for TR that doesn't cost 1k certs and I can't seem to get headshots when I'm actually trying to, most of my faggot one hit kills were me going bleh while aiming down my 4x scope

I'm actually getting into my TR character again, i swear some of the bolt action rifles are different in sound (atleast the bolt is.) and i also swear some guns have new(er) models? Then i checked my NC character and everything was seemingly the same. :c

I made a video for Hossin because I have a serious boner over it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrndXhhFc-o[/media] also really wish they made spectator cam available for everybody. it would make this shit look a lot better.

i really want to have a sick one-on-one sniper duel at night in the swamps of hossin

[QUOTE=finbe;41721409]I recommend the ghost/TSAR over the scout rifles, heavies can't turn on their shields if you put a bullet in their head and oneshot em.[/QUOTE] Only if you're doing it at point blank and following up with a knife or Commissioner headshot. You shoot an NW5 HA in the head (and more and more of them are going that route), all you did was reduce him to ~800 effective health. At 900-1000 yourself, you're not going to do terribly much against an LMG while reloading that bolt or trying to use a normal handgun.
