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

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;40414427]I'm guessing you tried to suicide bomb a sundy but there was no bang. Mines don't explode when deployed under stationary vehicles anymore.[/QUOTE] Which in my opinion is hella annoying. Shooting them doesn't set them off either anymore. Majority of my mine kills are from stationary sunderererers.

[QUOTE=munky91;40415177]Tactics for winning this game aren't similar to tactics for winning real fights. In this game, your life holds pretty much no value, since there are infinite of you. In fact, your life can hold negative value if you waste it walking or something when you could be respawning somewhere useful. And no, there aren't any security concerns. You can safely join the military and continue playing video games to your heart's content.[/QUOTE] What I mean is using the tactics that they were taught when they were in the military, I can see why using such things in a video game like Planetside 2 would be a big no no as far as security is concerned.

I'm sure if there's super top secret tactics that the military uses and military members aren't allowed to say, that they wouldn't be able to be applied to planetside 2 anyways.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;40414802]I always wondered what it'd be like playing this game with a group of people who are in the Army in real life, and who put their real world combat experience to use in game. Would that give them an unfair advantage? Would they even be allowed to use the tactics and methods that they were taught because of security concerns etc? Just some food for thought here.[/QUOTE] We have a whole bunch of current/ex military guys in the Devil Dogs, and every one of them will tell you the same thing: Real world military tactics just do not translate into this game. You can be acting all tacticool with building sweep & clears, moving as a fireteam etc, but all it takes is some Rambo to run in bunnyhopping with a shotgun to take out your whole fireteam. You do much better playing it as a game, not a military sim.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;40415226]What I mean is using the tactics that they were taught when they were in the military, I can see why using such things in a video game like Planetside 2 would be a big no no as far as security is concerned.[/QUOTE] There's nothing top secret about field maneuvering, combat behaviour and unit-level tactics. And even if there was, there's no guy standing behind you watching you playing games after you quit the military service. Besides, most tactical maneuvers (various rules of engagement inculded) applied to use in the real life military will be useless in games (especially Planetside, due to what munky91 pointed out) due to various limitations. So don't worry, the only people really trying hard to apply real military tactics and maintain military-level discipline are wannabe armchair generals aka leaders of tactic00l outfits. And as far as I'm concerned, they're not very effective at anything, so clearly they don't have any sort of visible advantage.

Hence why diffirent games try to simulate the disadvantages of being suppressed by incoming fire, because otherwise it's just not working. [editline]25th April 2013[/editline] Hey guise.

do all MAXes have that or just TR? If it's just the TR I'll happily fly over to the vanu when in my reaver.

Lancer does shit damage anyway, and Vanu's already a no-fly zone because all their MAXes are burstermaxes because their MAX weapons are shit

How have they still not nerfed the Burster anyway

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;40416799]How have they still not nerfed the Burster anyway[/QUOTE] why would they nerf the burster when its basically the only effective form of anti-air in the game except maybe striker spam also people on the forums suggesting that the most effective counter to air should be air, MY MIND

What is VS getting for their MAX ability?

And I've found people who seems to solely play infantry cry about everything, things that are far from overpowered but just because it killed them they'll cry nerf on the forums. [editline]25th April 2013[/editline] I do like the idea of the lockdownMAX though. I imagine sort of building a temporary turret nest with an engineer, a medic and one or two MAX that just deploy into turrets, sounds fun. As a matter of fact the new Harasser buggie is perfect for this, engie driving and a medic gunning and the max in the back. LA with C4 gonna have fun wrecking that though. Also thank garry for automerge

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;40414427]I'm guessing you tried to suicide bomb a sundy but there was no bang. Mines don't explode when deployed under stationary vehicles anymore.[/QUOTE] Deployed my own sundy behind a rock near an enemy base, I see an enemy sunderer moving up(about 100m away, I run out into the road drop tank mines). I then shot my grenade launcher at him to grab his attention, this works. He drives up to me, now close to my sundy, and he started shooting at me, he was now on top of my mines, for ~3 seconds they didn't explode or do anything. I resorted to shooting the mines manually. I'm guessing the system that's in place to stop you from dropping mines on stationary targets is bugged or something. Oh btw, c4, claymores, tank mines now become permanently invisible if you were ~300m away when they were deployed.

What's the NC max getting?

Riot shield, protects the front real good but doesn't protect sides or rear

And the Sparrow, which at the moment is basically the engineer AV turret x2.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;40417220]Riot shield, protects the front real good but doesn't protect sides or rear[/QUOTE] Jesus I can imagine a shield hackermax just wrecking indoors. Biolabs will be filled with those :v:

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;40417286]Jesus I can imagine a shield hackermax just wrecking indoors. Biolabs will be filled with those :v:[/QUOTE] You can't shield and shoot at the same time.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;40417389]You can't shield and shoot at the same time.[/QUOTE] Can't reload either, but it has a fairly quick pull up time so it's probably really effective against max hunters using pump actions. Seems pretty balanced against charge and gives the NC max more depth aside from hold m1 and m2 kill errybody.
