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

8120~ certs here. What should I spend it on, the LA update, or the infiltrator update? Also, has anyone else fallen asleep in a sunderer before? I find I'm doing that more and more often now that I've started playing again. Soon as the platoon lead said we were not going to do the alert I just jumped into a sunderer and fell asleep for 15 minutes.

Anyway, for anybody that's tried it out: How is the jackhammer, and what are it's strengths/weaknesses?[/QUOTE] It's burst fire mode is considered the best pump action shotgun in the game, but because it's a burst of 3 shots instead of 1 shot like other pump actions you have to control it more than others. And while it still has short range, it's semi auto mode still has a lot better range than most shotguns.

Legend says that on Waterson, if the planets line up right and the dark gods are feeling generous, that if you look hard enough at the population bar, you can see that there is some mysterious Red Faction in between the Barney/Smurfs. It's almost like there is actually a third faction on sometimes.

Now they actually have to fight.

It seems C4 does not detonate other C4. Keep that in mind when you're running your invisible buggy armed to the teeth with your own C4.

Me and a friend put C4 on a sundie, his C4 blows up mine and I don't even get an assist. It seems as if whoever detonates it by any means gets responsible for the damage(and thus gets kills). Sometimes it didn't even deal damage.

[QUOTE=munky91;43422432]It seems C4 does not detonate other C4. Keep that in mind when you're running your invisible buggy armed to the teeth with your own C4.[/QUOTE] Yeah that was specifically in the patch notes so it's not a bug or anything.

I am very pleasantly surprised about how well it runs now compared to before the performance update.

I wish they would give the tanks an alternate armament choice, outside of a different version of what they already have.

I had silver for it before I even had it unlocked because I kept rocketing tanks and sundies with C4 on them. :v:

So I started flying the reaver some, and while waiting for airspace resources I'd play heavy. The phoenix is fucking awesome, it's so much fun shooting it from cover and stabbing stuff in the back. The downside is getting shot while manning the rocket. I even took down a liberator and a scythe with it.

[QUOTE=Hoboharry;43417198]It helps some people to know that they're killing people in style. Anyway, for anybody that's tried it out: How is the jackhammer, and what are it's strengths/weaknesses?[/QUOTE] The jackhammer is a blast. It has the best effective range of any infantry shotgun in the game, and does very respectable damage, and has a large magazine with the extended magazine upgrade. It chews through it's ammo quickly, however, so don't wander too far from engineers. It's still a shotgun, so you won't be sniping with it, but the grouping is tight enough to reliably damage folks at 30-40m, making it the most effective general purpose shotgun in the game.

So it seems like there's been a sudden resurgence with PS2 recently. Is there any reason why?

FPS Fix pmuch.

I'm in love with the reaver, the damn vertical thrust and afterburner is godlike

Holy shit i see why VS stomp on my server. holy shit theirs people. Talking in orders, with actual orders

Been getting annoyed with the NC shield for the vanguards. Makes tank battles terribly one sided.

The ability is inherently frustrating, agreed.

NC MBT gets the shield, VS get the turbo, but what do the prowlers have? The deployment thingy?

is it me or does it feel like vanu weapons can kill me super fast in any ranges

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);43427943]NC MBT gets the shield, VS get the turbo, but what do the prowlers have? The deployment thingy?[/QUOTE] Yeah, Anchor mode.

[QUOTE=Monkey san;43427985]is it me or does it feel like vanu weapons can kill me super fast in any ranges[/QUOTE] It's just you.

I'm starting to think that flares should be standard for all ESF's, either being ammo based, or limited regenerative based (like battlefield). It shouldn't grant invulnerability for five seconds, but it should have no cool down to deploy.

There's something those BR100 Scythes do that makes me unable to hit them, but I cannot figure out why. We're face to face hovering and I am not landing a single shot, but we barely appear to be moving, when other people do it I smash them just fine but with these people I just cannot do it.

You can't deny that. Even if it isn't as useful as many seem to think, the concept of "oh shit yes I got in on his side and fired 2 rounds I'm so going to win" followed by their pressing of a 'fuck-it button' makes you feel cheated.

So I snuck behind a Scythe in my Mosquito and started blasting the fuck out of him and he did a 180 in what felt like an instant and he ended up landing every shot on me whilst flying backwards, upside down and nearly doing a full loop. What the fuck

What the fuck[/QUOTE] Welcome to PS2, we have the dumbest type of flying out of any videogame ever made, at least if you discount the RC plane missions in Vice City. People do all these bullshit maneuvers that make no sense at all while you usually send yourself careening off into the side of a mountain if you don't have 300+ hours in the ESFs.
