^^ You can equip the halloween helmets but they only show up clientside, for everyone else you're helmetless. You get the exp bonus though.MuffinMan posted:*crosspost* Zu2 just does not know how to deal with the fact that something than actually threaten his fatsuit now. I did the same thing to him at TI Alloys last night. Stick him as he goes to push in the door, swap to deci, count to 3... and he charges, so I deci him in the back. You'd think the first nade on him when hes still outside the room would tell him to hang back and wait.

Search for rocket pod+planetside on YouTube and filter for 2 years ago It's also shocking how lovely flak was. You'll commonly see ESFs making 2+ passes over AA nests before repairing THEN, do the same thing, except find Zephyr videos. Then weep. Edit - BCP was being power leveled by probably multiple people using Prowler HE spam and lots of cheese, and some Zephyr gunner who played less STILL beat him to BR100, if that tells you anything

Blasmeister posted:The EM6 will murder your accuracy rating if you use it right as range is no barrier to being able to kill a guy when you have 200/200 bullets. Ex-Mags + comp + 1x scope was how I used mine. The gun has a good bit of vertical recoil you need to get used to and you need to ADS everything with it so I prefer the 1x red dot scope for maximum recoil control. I figured I'd follow up this from a few pages ago and do a little EM6 trip report since I tried some of this stuff out and it's been helpful. Turns out you really don't want to be using anything more than a 1x scope (as suggested). Compensator is a given, but I opted for foregrip instead of Ex-mags since I wasn't running into any situation where I needed it. The biggest help was really discarding the HVA and slapping on the 1x, which brings it up from "flaming poo poo" status to "I'm just going to tough it out because it's my last LMG to aurax for Godsaw". I'm still convinced the gun is bugged though, since COF just goes loving bananas for no reason sometimes, and I've never experienced that on other guns. Any other gun. The only way I figured to work around that is to fire in really short bursts, which feels retarded for a gun with a base magazine of 100, but it gets the job done. Also there is 2x Member XP this weekend, which wasn't announced but only shown on the ticker on the PS2 Anniversary Stream.  They need to start advertising that poo poo more prominently again.

Oh god, rocket pods at release were amazing. Wiping out an entire squad in like one salvo was not only possible but hilariously easy. They had a loving huge splash radius.

Do AV grenades ignore flak armor on MAXes? If not, they need to. Edit: release rocket pods are the only reason I still to this day swear by flak armor on Medic.

I'd put the EM1 as marginally better. But people keep telling me the EM6 is picked up in ServerSmash because it's essentially the best at just creating a volume of fire at choke point. Fair enough for that, but no good when I'm trying to be a zero-impact kill-farming pub-lord. The GD-22S is amazing though, I don't think there's any downside to that weapon except it doesn't get SPA like the Anchor. And that's just a marginal improvement, first assuming you can get use to the Anchors high recoil. e: grammar Renounced fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Nov 20, 2014 |

The reload is pretty short and the 100 deep mag is almost always enough so I cannot fault your decision at all there but I really wanted to experience the full Rambo 200 rounds and in my heart I knew I was making the right choice.

The EM6 is a wonderful weapon and i would just like to sing its praises, its been my go-to heavy weapon for the last 2 months or so and I've been racking up kills, bursting with it means you can get a nice set of headshots and kill people very quickly, you just need to be a little patient with it, the 100 round magazine just lets you keep fighting and fighting in ways that the anchor/GD-22s really don't.

God drat SOE is such a terrible piece of poo poo company. I got this computer a few weeks ago and it runs PS2 even in heavy environments at 50fps+. However, the computer is a refurb with an AMD video card, but it had nVidia drivers on it. I installed the Catalyst drivers (before I knew the nVidia ones were still on it) and everything worked peachy. Today I decided to uninstall the nVidia software because it clearly wasn't doing any good. Now I can't launch PS2 because it says I don't meet the minimum requirements. Is there a way to circumvent this stupid poo poo? All my other drivers are up to date.
