Apparently, saying to your team to stay in the point makes them actually get far from it. I think I will do some reverse psychology next time.[/QUOTE]

When I play with my friends it's not unusual at all for the Capture times of our team to look something like
Me 55s
Friend 53s
Pub 1 0.9s
Pub 2 0.2s
And we may win, though usually in these situations the opposing teams knows how to play and we lose with 500-1000 points.

Aluminum stock enthusiast reporting in!
When on the move, Aluminum and Compact give you what seems to be the exact same running accuracy.
Aluminum gives me slightly better accuracy, but that's only because I have upgraded the stock
Compact still feels redundant, though. Why would you pick decreased ADS accuracy for unaltered recoil dampening, compared to standard stock?
Tested on a Slug Rifle with Full Auto, Assault Barrel, Ironsights, Standard magazine
The side-effects of using the shield for a long time. I have played like 5 matches and I forgot to activate it. Oh well, time to try something different, decided to change my loadouts, any tips on how to use properly the Turret Buddy? My TF2 Engineer skills doesn't work like I expected on this game.
YES SHIELD NERF FINALLY
oh man this will make me to get back into the game, probably.
[QUOTE=NitronikALT;44362205]Compact still feels redundant, though.[/QUOTE]
Compact is not at all useless on pulse weapons. It allows you to hipfire them with very good accuracy.
Specifically, I've been switching between Telsa Pulse weapons, one with a Narrow Scatter barrel (this one has really good range for a shotgun), and a Silencer barrel with spooling and high cap (so you can hipfire it without stability issues) and they both use compact. They were strong even before the 7% dmg buff to pulse.
i have this gut feeling loadout will lose most of its older/good players before the next update
there is nothing to strive for competitively yet and some of the best players are quitting loadout by the week. by the time ranked comes in april we'll have lost a good portion of vets. sure, you could play it for fun, but then you're pubstomping every game because you're hardly running into people of your skill level, and there's no challenge to that.
why couldn't they have just implemented weapon hotfixes and ranked earlier? a lot of vets have been pushing eor for it for a good amount of time now, and if you're well informed about the small competitive scene in loadout you'll see notable players disappearing because they're simply bored of the casual aspect. most don't plan on coming back.

Pyro Payload

Man, turrets are pretty good on Spires. There's so many corners and the map is pretty open too!

imo that's the worst part of this game - frequency of updates. How many did we get since launch(not counting launch fixes)? Only two I think. This game needs way more frequent updates, even if they are only small fixes.

[/QUOTE]
Genuinely curious here, but what is the advantage of Compact over Aluminum? Especially with shotguns, I see a lot of people saying that Compact is supposed to make pellet spread tighter (which I think isn't true, but feel free to prove me wrong)
I was wondering, does the Heavy casing make Flak explosions any bigger?
I'll admit, I was looking forward to the Double Barrel launcher, but it didn't really feel right compared to the Tri-Barrel. The time between shots is alright, but the thing where both rockets have to be loaded into it kinda put me off. Which is strange because I used to main Soldier in TF2 a lot.

you need to be directly in front of the turret to trigger it's sensor
It's a better idea to carry something else if you are a medic (juice/hp nades, medkits or ammo)

I was actually talking about the fact if you change your loadout you can keep your turret, this can be easily used to have like a "third" weapon.

I completely missed the shield icon, sorry
I was thinking, what if we had something like this?
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/RJPIJZg.jpg[/img_thumb]
Imagine being able to change the barrel of your rifle for something like that, making your weapon more close combat oriented and depending of the payload, what kind of damage will do. I know, melee attacks basically do that, but any opinions?
Personally I'd prefer some sort of melee equip like a Powerglove microchip or something. It'd be pretty cool to turn your melee into a lightning fist or fire punch.

I thought you were talking about the kill-feed line-breaking unnecessarily.

customizable melee weapons
fire baseball bat
juice frying pan
Payload specific brass knuckles maybe?
Basically granting you tesla punch, fire punch, etc...
That's what I was talkin' 'bout. Being able to customize your melee would be awesome, even if not as cool as being able to carry three equippables at the same time (one Grenade, one Personal, one Deployable) for a truly wicked loadout with greater utility.
Don't know wheter to be happy or sad that thus far, only two players gave me so much trouble that I still remember their nickname to this day
I should play more annihilation, and see if the situation changes at all

I only play Annihilation.
It's one of the best game mode's I've played, it's just fantastic fun but I only ever play it with my friends - you often go up against a coordinated team so it's almost impossible to do well unless you are in active conversation with your team.
Beam, Slug, Aluminum, Charged shot, Liquid cooling, Sniper is SO good.
I went 40:5 today in annihilation and someone on the other team accused me of cheating and threatened me with genital cancer.
