I had and AC guy call me out the other day for using Liberators and Claymores after I Claymored him 3 or 4 times in a row. I told him I'd immediately go commit sudoku over my dishonour. Then I told him Good Fight and he stopped replying, sigh.

:jerkbag:

I think my favorite claymore moment was when we were doing a FRZA night and I kept killing some guy in AC with claymores until he sent a white flag tell to KV. (Wherein I kept placing them)

And yeah I'll make that video next week when I have my new GPU.

Well that was a new record 1135 certs in 1 hour 13 minutes defending khwatee mountain complex. Shield dong+rez nades every time NC made a push, also made over 30 shield ribbons towards the final medic armor wooh!

I am not that good a twich stuff, so I tend to play support, mainly engineer. The best fights I have been in are where I am doing a bit of everything. Repair the Max, engage with carbine, repair the Max, again, drop ammo, repair the Sunderer, jump in it to engage enemy air, then back to ground fighting, etc. If I just rush to the capture point and try to shoot it out I just get farmed over and over. I have raised my repair tool and armor, but have spent certs on other stuff too.

Eventually I may want to do more infiltration, as in use an smg and get close while stealthed, but that seems to take time and patience and at times I am jumping on for 15 minutes just to shoot stuff.

I might have missed it but if it hasn't been said before, join an outfit. We've got multiple here, goku for vs, goon for nc, and koth? for tr. Get the mumble info from the pgs threads and play a few nights with each. Playing in a large organized group makes this game 1000x more fun then any amount of lone wolf. We'll let you gun our fully certed out mithril plated autism chariots. You'll have friends to watch your back, rep you, or rez as needed, point out good choke points, etc etc.

Even if you're only getting on for 15 min at a time it's great. Your squad leader will be at a fight and you can spawn cross continent at any spawn point he can use. Better then instant action any day.

Yeah, dcarey said he left it in as a treat for members this weekend and probably an experiment in the effects of discounting.

I picked up the Vandal for dirt cheap, but considering that Infil for me is a "instinctively press F at the start of battle and die horribly" class like the Engineer I don't think it'll ever see much use. There's the Sasser Infil and the Cyclone Infil and I haven't found any real use for anything else.

But like when I bought the Reaper on a whim a full year before it was buffed and the accuracy bugs fixed, when this particular seedling takes root I will be ready

People warp all the time, but you get used to it. You can do anything from sniping to flying, cause again, clientside.

I get a nice ping of 120-140ish on emerald about 99% of the time from the UK, the other 1% i do tend to hit multiple seconds of ping but I'm pretty sure its just my ISP being garbage.

Does this explain when I kill people and I see their model both standing and on the ground at the same time still moving? That really freaks me out and I always keep shooting at it because I'm just not sure what state they are really in.

That's not related to connection I think, that's a bug if you mean the times when people move when sitting/standing.
Connection related issues is when you see people just warp from one location to another.

That, too, but my issue was more with people standing in the air and running on the spot only to get killed by a sniper inside my base shields, along with tanks repeatedly exploding and reassembling, things like that.

Oh my god yes buy the Phoenix. If you play your NC at all, it's worth it. It often turns getting farmed into an all-you-can-scree cert buffet.

I expect it would be pretty good after the change. But right now it's just painful to use.

There are times when you get sudden lag spikes: I tend to get usually one every game session, where my ping spikes to a few thousands ms (I think my highest was a whooping 20 seconds of delay) for about half a minute or so, but then it usually normalizes and and I can continue to play without any further issues.
And until recently, for some reason playing on Emerald from Europe was generally smoother than playing on Miller. :v:

edit:
and make sure to join one of the goon outfits if you haven't already: the game gets a lot more fun when playing with a group

Alright, someone linked a dawn of war 2 orkz recursion voice pack not too long ago, which gave me the idea to make one with dow2 commissar lord lines instead. I had a free weekend and I put one together. I ran out of commissar lines towards the end, so I had to supplement it with lord general lines.

I made it mostly for myself, but in case someone else wants to use it, I uploaded it here: https://mega.co.nz/#!b4tRDJhT!X9eLqJBrc_YJ9CNtfpvxkg3Wwz88ZKlDq7OJnDx5gLc

Apparently the Valkyrie got some buffs on PTS. According to reddit, it flies forwards at 150kph, doesn't make you point at the ground to go forwards (still relatively helicopter-like just not as much), goes about 200kph with using its vertical thrust, has 4 open seats (no MAX still), and can take 150 Gauss SAW rounds at point blank before going down. Sounds like they buffed its resistance.

This. Coming from playing Vanu where I'm running 61% time played as an Engineer I was doing the same with my TR. Not to say the TR carbines are bad but the cycler is just downright silly at killing everything at any range.
