If it's down to between seismic sensor vs. clan small pulse laser range, I think I'm going to favor seismic sensor every time. An extra 17 meter optimal and max range is just not worth giving up sweet sweet wallhacks.

It definitely isn't, but what are you doing with the other two weapon slots?

They could be, but ultimately unlikely. The one in Community Warfare is the Long Tom Artillery Piece which is different from the Long Tom Artillery Cannon which is the mech portable version.

Please give me free quality professional advice so I can be a baby about it and insult you
So I logged in again recently and saw that my 60MM cbills are gone. Asked the support people about it and apparently back when I took that huge money dump on the WoL coffers shortly before getting kicked from the group it actually went through despite never getting any feedback on it. I had thought that it wouldn't go through due to me being at that j4g rank.

I'm sure you all have already blown it on robot hookers and blow, though. You're welcome.

This sounds like bullshit because anyone can send invites for both units. If there isn't money in the coffers and you want to invite someone, donate it yourself.

E: Also while I think LSD is an annoying autist shitler who gets on almost everyones nerves, no ones said he cant play with us or use the mumble.

I'm sorry I did not know that. I thought people in the J4G Scum group or whatever it is called didn't have any access so I didn't even check. And I don't want to stir any poo poo up, I just thought it was nice that LSD wanted to donate his money to us.

Nah. It will be two lava pools in mountain structures similar to what is in the middle now. The teams spawn near them. The spawn mountains are separated by 1500m of open terrain with two buildings and a small antenna ever so slightly closer to one spawn than the other.

The control point for conquest will be in the middle of the parking lot.

Nah man i prefer the part where both teams get lost and can't find eachother for the first 8 minutes because they're desperately hiding in the tiny valleys in fear of the other teams 1200m ticklers and the lurmpocalypse.

Actually I would kind of prefer gameplay that required actual scouting to locate the other team and get set up for engagements and whatnot, but nothing about this game is really set up to encourage that kind of play. The objectives are almost always badly placed, the new maps don't have discernible landmarks or terrain and the in-game overhead map is hilariously useless at helping you actually navigate anywhere.

What I actually want is a good Arma game with giant robots.

Get a flamer and shoot the pubbie with it for an extended period of time.

E: They don't do any damage so you don't get any timer but, if they shoot you they get penalties.
