That would be more valid if HA shields didn't block headshots (which they shouldn't)

Rocket Launchers aren't skilled, use your LMG's or GTFO. And Vanguards using AP can get hosed. Use HE like a real tank or stop tanking with your easy mode high velocity, high damage gun.

Mpal from the Hive that is Reddit posted:If you have to sneak around and tank mine the only sundy in the hex and the sundy is not being camped, you are prematurely killing the fight. There are tryhards who believe they are being super objective oriented and playing the right way, but ultimately you are just causing more down time in the game. That's someone from DA, complaining that some people are no fun allowed Tryhards. Drink it in.

Okay but you intentionally left out the "late at night" line he followed that with, and I will be devil's advocate and say it can really suck rear end when it's early/late, there's not much happening, and you've managed to drum up a good 12-24 fight and five minutes in one lone engineer mines the sundy and the fight's over and your choice is now 'welp good luck against 382nd's ghost-capping platoons taking hexes with 80% pop' Obviously the game isn't designed or tuned to have only 250 on a continent and it's not worth SOE's time to work on 'low pop gameplay' but hey sometimes that's when you end up playing  I would never actively criticize or TK someone for killing the sundy, though.

Bullets kills me more than anything else and are SO easy to use, I don't want to cert up my nanoweave, so anyone that uses bullets is a no-skill shitlord who should conform to my idea of honourable gameplay. I can of course use bullets though, but only for my auraxium.

Listen if we really want to talk fair gameplay we need to look at flak again. This detenation by proximity is historically inaccurate for our futuristic sci-fi shooter that has ww2 rules. Skyguards and bursters should have to set an altitude for their shells to detonate at and hope they get it right. Hits at a different altitude should do small arms damage. Also give bursters the skyguard cof since we all know maxes are dishonorable op no skill noob suits. Buff the lib.

I opened Gamecaster and Xsplt. The Annotation option uses DX9 (I think) so I had to use Xsplit to be able to capture the drawing and other Scene stuff, since Gamester is purely for streaming game play. edit: Also, post-SOE interview with SA's favorite Dev: Malorn! http://themittani.com/features/planetside-2-malorns-post-soe-interview kidRiot fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Nov 6, 2014 |

go3 posted:Snipers are absolutely retarded in a game primarily played indoors and with an engagement range of approximately 1 foot Actually now I can't even remember if everything was balanced for close or long range to begin with but either way one of the main reasons weapon balance was so messed up for a while was because everything was designed with either short or long range engagements in mind but reality saw most of the fighting happening on the other end of the spectrum.

Snipers own, it's a relaxing way to not actually play the game, all the while providing map hacks all at the same time! Non resist shields let you survive a headshot from a T1/T2 sniper, dunno about the T3. On that note I can't stand the loving Longshot. Maybe I'll get a gold and move on, but the bolting time and reload take loving forever. I can't see myself auraxing it. Bolt Driver though...  60kph last I checked. Which is depressingly M** on DAS because of hill shitters. Kind of makes me sad that the Moonshot is a Longshot sidegrade.

Why the gently caress do people still deploy non-shield sundies for actual base assaults in this day and age? I cannot wrap my head around it, it makes no loving sense at all. For a defensive sundie I can understand pulling and ammo or repair and deploying it somewhere where it helps the defense but for an assault? Sorry but I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to do that.

Sorry but I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to do that. If your up against dedicated anti sundy teams you actually want a blockade sundy because a few repair engies can keep it up under a ton of fire where a shield sundy will lose its shield and be impossible to rep. General rule is 3 or less, shield 4 or more blockade. A shield sundy will save you against a suicide tank mine rush but it would save you against 2 LA's using explosive bolts+C4.

Man I was driving a Sundie out to a base and got jumped by a Halberd Harasser, I shot it up best I could with the Sundie but bailed on it before it blew. Then it was just me and this Harasser that COULD NOT HIT ME. We kept dancing as he failed to shoot my face or run me over while I whittled away at the Harasser with my Carnage. Eventually the gunner on the thing jumped out to kill me the old fashioned way and I stabbed him in the face, then the driver did the same thing and I finally died. One more stab and I'd be telling the story about how I killed a two man Harasser crew with a knife.

I routinely pull a t3 rifle and mop up all the bad wookies camping spawn at 48+ fights. Usually takes about a minute, then I can go do something else. The best part is knowing that it took them 5 minutes to get into position and only 15 seconds to dispatch them.

Snipe rifles are great for when you spawn into a base and there's 2 minutes and you're spawncamped. Just grab a BASR and pop the heads of idiot spawn campers then redeploy a minute later.
