Wait hold on, so Goonfleet hasn't even said they're coming to PS2, what's this guy complaining about? GOON and GOKU? Compared to H1Z1 the opportunities for trolling in PS2 are nil. Death means nothing, you can't take anything from anybody, everything is pretty much freely available to everyone, it's an FPS which is like the opposite of EvE, etc etc

I'm looking forward to some more coming over to try PS2 out potentially though. Look at the pubbie reaction now, imagine when Goonfleet outfit tags start popping up

Klowns posted:

Bring it to a Biolab, you can cover-shoot the UBGL faster than a Heavy can fire rockets since he actually has to aim and you can hip fire, by your second shot you'll know the height to fire your shots from. First day I unlocked it I got about seventy kills an an hour at a 96v96 Biolab fight with maybe ten kills actually from bullets, which are laser-accurate. The best use of it is when you hear a MAX coming but if you find a bit of cover it should get you a decent amount of kill assists when you've got four to six guys shooting out of windows in one of those a small rooms.

MAX chat:
I haven't noticed any more MAXs on then normal, but Cobalt seems to feel the same way about MAXs as they do about Medics, I normally see one or two at a big fight. I'll usually find one good fight a day when I can pull a MAX, normally at a tower since it gives me good opportunity to switch from AA to AV to AI. I've been playing with Fractures lately and while they tend to be poo poo for any Infantry within 30m they can do some sick things in lockdown, I killed two Sunderers, two Lightnings and a Vanguard all grouped up since one of the Sunderers was an ammo bus in under two minutes.

The hipfire has a significant dispersion cone, particularly while moving. Enough to entirely miss infantry or a vanu max if you're unlucky(ADS with the UBGL is flawlessly accurate though). I know because that's pretty much what I used it for when I first got it, and I definitely did not get 70 kills in an hour in that biolab fight with rifle grenades- I was using stickies- and actually I get more kills when using smoke to cover me while I shoot bullets(and throw stickies) at people.

When did you get the UBGL?

I have had the issue when shooting at extreme range the grenade just fizzles out of existence but I've never seen any inaccuracy hip-firing with it, my main use is when I pop into a room and see a MAX or a few guys inside I'll pop back out and switch to the UBGL for my opening shoot, or when chasing somebody and they go inside I'll put a shot just in the doorway to see if they are hugging the wall just inside waiting for me.

I think I unlocked it about a month ago, so sadly missed the pre-nerf days, but it's already my #3 weapon, all as an engie so with an ammo pack at my feet so I can spam grenades.

For the Biolab I was at the teleport room facing their spawn by A point and just lobbing them over the wall at their spawn or picking off LA on the balcony or roof of A trying to C4.

The maximum range is about 150 meters on level ground- I did a little experimenting the other day at the Indar warpgate- and the hipfire dispersion at that range is really obvious. But ADS is perfectly accurate.

In roughly an hour yesterday me and my gunner destroyed so many Liberators, Valkaries, ESF's, Vanguards, Battles Buses, and Lightnings that I made a little over 400 certs as an AP Prowler. The Prowler is still fun.

Looks like Briggs made some pretty questionable decisions in the opening, but from what I'm seeing so far is just about every base we took or defended was because our Sunderer game was just ridiculously, absurdly on point and we were a human wave of infantry

I was loving it so long as I could be aggressive, otherwise you end up eating a rocket at the same time you see the fucker peek. Thankfully, I am absolutely insanely aggressive in my MAX. My favorite move by far though was bouncing a corner and dumping 3 SAW rounds into somebody's head and watching them get clientsided.

And yeah the SlugMAX is just the greatest. Soooo much fun and it's a style of fighting that isn't really available anywhere else in the game. Closest thing would be maybe a Bulldog.

Mostly, I was EMPing the poo poo out them right ahead of big infantry pushes and sticking dildars in odd places, and loved every minute of it. What the hell is wrong here I'm playing infil 90% of the time and enjoying it and Mustarde is talking about the #SLUGLYFE

I often am the mad pilot for these excursions. It sort of works, and certainly has novelty going for it. It is the strongest way of doing an anti-air valkrye.

It has one major weakness that can't be helped however: It's still a valkrye. :soe:

I managed to get some pretty loving good farm on my NC character last night during the indar alert. I was a gunner for a vanguard, he had the shotgun cannon thing, I forget the name. I ended up 14 kills up before I died. Then ruined it all in my Lib.

Really because the air game is way more healthier with average skill pilots spending more time in the air now that the turbo sperg gank squads are no longer killing everything in the sky. The death of skyknights was one of the best things for PS2, now we just need to make a balance pass on HA's and max suits and you'll have a much more friendly environment for new players.

Reduce max AI DPS by 50% and max AV damage vs infantry by 90%. Give the HA shield a 2 second wind up and allow EMP grenades to destroy medkits but not resto kits.
