I think this is good. TDM games seem really short, I hope 100 doesn't end up feeling like a slog.

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.

It absolutely outclasses the Outrider/War Machine/Annihilator at any distance. That's a fairly significant advantage. You're not clearing out anyone camping Grandma's from the barn on Fringe with either War Machine or Outrider (possibly on a very flukey shot). Hell, truck on A side > barn is probably not doable either.

Yea yea preference and all that.

I never really understood why Kill Confirmed games had a higher score cap than TDM considering the nature of the stipulation means that it'll inherently last longer than a TDM round so this is cool.

I can go from church/grandma's house on Infected with the War Machine, but I was a filthy tube-user in MW2. It's not the shot that's the problem, it's being left alone long enough to judge the drop :v:

The shotguns and snipers really need to be tweaked or this is gonna die on PC very soon. Especially the shotguns. Everyone has discovered them so it's nothing but speeding shotgunners one shorting people before they can react from ridiculous ranges.

FTFY

if the range is too long for your infinite range gun to beat, may I recommend the Halo games (post-Halo 2), where you literally have to follow up the shot with a melee hit to kill, because they don't work beyond fist range.

Lol at people complaining about the shotguns. The Brecci is the only one that's even remotely competitive as-is. The Haymaker takes half a mag to drop a guy, the Argus is ridiculously inconsistent and hitmarker city, the KRM is the Argus but somehow worse... Honestly, if anything they need a buff, Haymaker especially. It needs more damage, it's already like a 3 or 4 shot kill minimum.

I lol at people that say that flinch is out of control. Flinch is the same as it's always been but this is the first game in a while where we don't have a perk to reduce it to nothing. It can be annoying at times yes but i prefer it to having it be null and void with a cruch perk.

Granted there are other crutch perks now but at least gun fights are more "fair" :v:

at any distance? lol. maybe long distance in the example you've mentioned but then the charge means you're getting nailed by anyone actually sniping from there 9 times out of 10. any other distance they're all far superior. annihilator will kill them faster without the charge and the other two will do the same with splash damage.

Vesper + Fast Mags + Extended Mags + Rapid Fire is a key component in my "ok, i'm done loving around" build.

Feb 24, 2009

Now be a dear and
fuck the fuck off.
Really do feel like Fast Mags was a terrible, terrible thing to have in the game. It makes the downtime on the SMG's functionally nothing, and means there's no point in trying to do anything beyond immediate run & gun. I feel the same way about the spawning system too, because it really makes map control boil down to second-to-second 'where are the enemy team right now?' with no real point or capability to hold the map at all.

I know to some extent that's the game they set out to make, and they were obviously concerned about MW2-era spawn camps, but it feels like this is a pendulum to the other extreme. It's a shame only because the raw manclicking gameplay I actually really like on PC. You've got this sharp little arena twitchshooter, and there's 'some' reward to maintaining map/UAV awareness, but not enough to reward it over just being quicker on the draw all day from room to room.

Everything's fine.

Nothing to see here.
Goon teams with people spread throughout the 200-350 SPM range steamrolling "better" teams go right against that theory though.

Want to spawn camp? Play Demo or Uplink :v:

(seriously, play Uplink, you can farm the ever loving poo poo out of the other team, and you can sort of kind of pretend you're still playing the game, unlike Demo where you just refuse to plant and farm - and if you run into Ripper using assholes trying to abuse satellite armor, just take FMJ, it punches right through it with no damage loss)

Also spawn control is possible in Dom, it just requires a very coordinated team, and it's rarely worth it. It's almost always more beneficial point wise to just keep flipping the spawns, getting those sweet capture kills and enemy point captures. Plus it inevitably buzzkills the other team's better players constantly.

TDM/KC are another matter, as is Hardpoint, which has its own spawn rules.

Hardpoint has a bit of a learning curve though, you have to put up with people in the party whining until they learn the point rotation. If you have an anchor at the next spawn as it pops, your team spawns on/near the point. If you don't, you spawn far away from it, which often leads to slaughter.

Anyway, yes, this game is very much about hyper aggressive play, I'm not sure if that's good or bad really, but it's clearly what they want. Whether they're pandering to the ADD youtube crowd hungering for quad feeds and 80+ kill games or not I dunno.

Personally I miss medium to large maps that actually allowed for some area control, and even (gasp!) let pubbies (or you) camp it up in some corner of the map for awhile. There's almost never the satisfaction of rooting out some entrenched rear end in a top hat in this game anywhere. Sweeping the sniping idiots out of the barn and/or house on Fringe isn't quite the same thing. How many prone snipers have you killed in this game?

I think the main change in Dom that made things so twitchy is that previously, if you held A/C, you would usually keep spawning until the point flipped. Now that isn't the case at all. If your primary and secondary spawns have enemies with visibility or simply nearby, it'll happily flip the spawns to the other side of the map.

That's because it's impossible to get a high SPM when on a team with Versus, Javes, Fuzzy, etc. so your SPM is artificially deflated.
