Man, Outrider and War Machine really, really loving sucks compared to the Tempest. Wouldn't be surprised if the latter gets toned down in the future.

What you said is the opposite of true. War Machine is way better. How can you be bad with a grenade launcher?

Tempest is pretty much insta-lock at any distance with a gigantic hit box and a decent sized AoE. Outrider actually requires effort and War Machine was very mediocre in the limited amount of time I played around with it. I can use it, probably well, I just don't like it. The point was that Tempest was just significantly more rewarding given how much easier it is to use.

the tempest is trash, probably one of the worst specialist weapons overall.

I tried to stream but my internet is horrible poo poo and knocked me down to 1-bar the whole match.

Also is there no way to stream full screen? I hated how the gameplay was shrunk down to put a dumb "you're broadcasting" sidebar.

there is nothing about the tempest that other specialist weapons don't do better.

the big problem with it is that if you meet an enemy while you're using it, all other things being equal you will lose due to that charge time. also the AOE is a joke, you can just run away from it.

If you have Flak Jacket, War Machine is useless without a direct hit, because the splash damage is worse than an actual frag grenade.
As for the Bow, just :lol: if you think it takes less time to wind up, unless what you're hitting is within shotgun range.

Mister Macys posted:

the different is you can charge the bow then run around aiming with it charged. tempest is just a delay in firing which is terrible in any non-long distance firefights

Assuming you find anyone in what- five seconds before it auto fires?

Otherwise you're repeatedly winding up and down, and that can leave you open.

Nope. It still makes a really loud noise for the entire time you're charged though, so it's still not the best idea to run around with it drawn the whole time.

except the war machine can throw out like 5 grenades into a room in seconds. also no one runs flak jacket trust me. the other advantage is that because of the triple burst you can kill people around corners etc with it v effectively. probably one of the best specialist weapons overall.

the bow owns, just aim up higher and spam that loving thing boomKABOLMM

Also once sky boat permanently replaces combine, will we miss it?

probably

I did like the last few games where we just ran laps around the map collecting kills because boy do you fuckers love flipping spawns. Also I switched my score streaks to CP/Cerberus/Wraith and I'm hitting them every game so that's nice. Cerberus hasn't really done poo poo on most games, though.

Tempest is weird. I know the initial shot has a chargeup, but when I was getting challenge kills with it it would fire again almost immediately, nearly a double-burst. And I died plenty because of the charge but I guess use it like a P-09 where you'll charge behind cover and edge out to fire.

Managed to get some hilarious final killcams with it, including shooting someone in midair, then watching them ragdoll to the ground shooting lightning out of their rear end.

I believe I am now no longer in the presence of nice people.


I'm convinced Chaos Moshpit is irredeemable to a point. I mean, I've seen people want to wallbang instead of actually being useful, people complaining that camos are glitched, and a game's tide being suddenly changed with a shitload of scorestreak usage.

EDIT: Not to mention the alarming amount of Nuk3town.

But on the bright side, I got 4 more turrets to kill with the BlackCell. AND I got the Man-O-War's High Caliber.
