Yep, that mod is completely pointless for anything other than solo AFK grinding. I honestly can't imagine actually playing an EDF game all the way through solo. Multiplayer chaos and scaling is such a fundamental part of the experience for me that removing that would feel like the game was broken somehow.

If you are going to solo grind, there is also the one hit kill cheat as well.

I would not abuse the other things, of course, but having a hotkey combo to turn on the loot grab at the end works just fine.

Actually, that reminds me. Does EDF6 Air Ranger have long range options that aren't total rear end? I started doing an Air Raider replay on 5 now that 6 has been announced, which ended the second I realized I would have to take down dropships with a Limpet Sniper.

dropships are pain as a solo air raider. there are non-limpet options, such as mechs, tanks, turrets, etc. but while they can work, none of those are very good at killing dropships.

Turrets on Air Raider are part of my build every time so now I have to make hard choices! I loved the gunship attacks in EDF5 as well, especially the higher level gatling gun ones. No ailen could escape my sight! Does air raider pick up any cool stuff to make up for the lack of turrets? Especially for underground missions.

I joined the EDF fanbase with EDF 4.1 so never saw the older games. Played on the PS4. I tried today Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon on PC, that I think is a older game. Maybe? Is interesting because the graphics are more integrated. The graphic experience is more coherent. Instead of linear texture smoothing, the textures seems render in nearest mipmap, and feels more detailed and the geometry more complex.. Is probably the other way around, but since is not linear texture filtering, more details are visible. A lot of stuff that where kinda weird but I took for granted in EDF 4, are more logical here. Like the difference between health boxes and armor boxes. Here in EDF:IA the health box is small and he weapons caches have a different model, more complex and bigger. It makes more sense! Also the intro actually have more through put into it, with a scene where we are the gunman guy from a chopper, until it lands to continue the operation with boots on the ground. Is also visible the parts where EDF4 is a upgrade. If I remember correctly the air raider can carry much more weapons (or thats how I remember it) and they got rid of the reloading minigame (that I hate). Is kinda like Insect Armageddon is playing the game more straight, and EDF4 took the idea to new height but also embraced the absurd. Sandepande posted:Never done multiplayer on EDF, it's much better without random morons (including me). I always play coop games with randoms. In EDF is very random. Sometimes you are testing a new weapons that you are not really versed. And you become a vile person that ruin everyone fun and you end the mission embarased of yourself and feeling you must personally apologize every EDF player. Other missions you are everyone hero. And other missions is pure magic, such a mission where 3 air raiders combine their powers and paint the entire sky red forever deleting the top north of the map in a string of fireworks to a level not seen previusly by human eyes. And in other games you play with literal god players that you feel are carrying you to victory by pure skill or OP suff. But is more good games than bad games. And yea, some of the bad games is because people like me. Tei fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Oct 16, 2023 |

Night10194 posted:One of the issues with IA is that it's winking at the camera when EDF's charm has been your commander giving a fiery speech and ending with yelling SO STICK IT TO THEM without a hint of irony. This is the best I've seen it put into words. Also, IA ends when the mothership shows up  . A proper EDF would have you take on the mothership with whatever crew you'd rallied, and the EDF Command comms would gradually swing in tone like:"We did our best, but it was too much for humanity..." "What, you said someone is still fighting?" "Look, it's them! Superspecialawesome One still has a chance!" "YOU'RE DOING IT! YOU ARE GOING TO SAVE OUR PLANET! All the while, you can barely hear them over the gunfire, explosions, screaming aliens, and each player spamming "EDF! EDF!" Game of the loving century. What were we talking about, again?

(Iron rain also suffers a bit of the same tonal issue and being another company that doesn't seem to quite understand the humor.) 5 is a pretty good quality of life upgrade over 4.1 though. Though the infantry song is not quite as good. (Though that's like saying you have a preference of chocolate when they're both still loving chocolate.) Always have your chat wheel set up properly though. 'EDF! EDF!' and 'Waaaaaaaah!' need to be within easy reach at all times.

I could have, for the cost of a weapon slot: -3-5 lovely little deployable turrets that have like 100 bullets in the magazine and take a geological age to reload once they run out OR -A murderous aerial sky cannon that fires ten billion bullets that hit like the fist of god and reloads in 2 seconds

This is true but as an air raider main i just accept this as karma for all the times i accidentally did this to others.

*put ons armchair general hat* Turrets are good at giving some omni defense around the air raider, but are easily flooded by a big wave. Stairfail attacks are in the sweet spot to be cheap, shot cooldown, large area... to be spammed endleslly. Sometimes you just want a direct attack force, against some walking frogs that you just want death just now. That would be a canon, or one of the better lasers. But large air attacks can get you instantly through half the enemy forces. Then if all you have is a APC. You can run and gun. If you really want to make a point, you equip at least one super unpractical weapon that is also epic has hell. Hopefully the other 2 guys pick some usefull weapons so you can shot a missile fat than the Apollo 11 rocket.

Getting blown up by your team's Air Raider is just the cost of having the power of this gun of light that can destroy even gods on your side. Most accept it graciously.

If you can manage to thread the needle and fire a beacon between hundreds of bugs to hit the ranger in the middle of them, that was just fate.

It's honestly very difficult to get killed by an Air Raider unless you're completely blind or not paying any attention at all in EDF5 because there are gigantic red glowing warning signs plastered all over the strike zones for an age before the attack actually comes in. It was way more likely to happen in 4.1 and older games where you had minimap warnings at best. This doesn't help if the Air Raider is directly shooting you with gunship beacons or something, but if we're talking about intentionally and directly killing your allies anyone can do it.

there are a few level ranges where wing diver's best weapon by far is an explosive launcher. i forget the exact names, but it is almost as good at killing bugs as it is killing teammates.
