Realized that with Turn A, you can sprint and charge his rifle at the same time. That makes him so much more effective.

Can you even get season pass points outside of the daily quests?

Yes. You get them by playing games. I think there is something where maybe you have to change up your suit every now and then to get more points?

After a day of playing, I think the game has potential. I like the rotating king of the hill map. It has lots of paths and levels and allows for so much flanking and movement.

The capture and defuse maps have huge choke points that I dislike as they get stale quickly.

The suits are varied and most have abilities that are a spectacle, which is good.

The feel of shooting guns is kind of bad, but I do feel very anime with several of the suits.

The graphics are not good and performance should be better. Texture work is low detail, animations are OK, special effects could be better, lighting is basically non existent. Same with shadows. Maps and skins are rather bland.

Can't really recommend to people that aren't fans of the series or anime mechs because of the low production values and not great fun feel.

I still had a lot of fun, though.

I thought I liked the Turn-A but I keep whiffing the grab and I'm not a fan of plinking with his gun. I do like his tankiness and nanoskin though.

I love that his reload animation is just "welp don't need this one anymore"

Sprint while charging and shoot charged shots while doing so! You have to let go of the sprint button to fire, though.

You end up more mobile than most other suits while still dealing good damage (510 with a fully charged headshot). Just skating around and stunting on people.

I guess a mini-review from my time earlier tonight:

The Good:
- gameplay is legit super fun between the speed, the map design, and unit abilities and weapons
- games don't take long to finish
- high skill ceiling

The Bad:
- menu ui is atrocious
- kill feedback is only obvious via sound cues
- map visuals are very bland

The Neutral:
- can't buy battle pass (or anything else) until the 23rd because that is when they will make the virtual currency available for purchase
- can't do ranked until you either hit lvl 20 (probably a week of solid play) or buy a battle pass

How do you all think the meta's gonna shape up? Hard to say without everyone having access to all of the suits currently but I'm wondering just how annoying a full shield/heal team can be.

Much less annoying than OW because there are abilities that force shields to immediately go on cooldown (or ignore shields altogether), shields have relatively little health, and every map has multiple paths around chokepoints that every suit can access.

Agree. Console meta will probably be different as Sniper and Barbatos aren't as oppressive on those platforms. (lack of precision with Sniper, lack of turn speed on Barbatos).

If you go into practice mode, there is a damage counter in the top left and you can use that to check the damage fall off of various weapons.

I'm not familiar with the Turn A but it feels like one of the weirder suits for sure. The kit is self healing and your gun and...a walk up grapple toss into a stun? The butterfly ult is hilarious and impactful though.

It was designed by Syd Mead and is totally rad in basically every way.

Improvement of Ranked Matches/Rating System

The mouse acceleration function applied in the game will be turned off.

Does anyone have any idea how to use the Mahiroo's (deep breath) Toroidal Shield With Mega Particle Cannon?

Between the weird locked-to-terrain-gridpoints targeting, delayed blast, and freezing oneself in place while casting, it really just seems like a "please kill me" button.

Unless you're trying to catch someone out while they chase you around a corner. That's about the only case I can imagine using it. And even then the damage is awful.

A few things. First, make sure before you use it that your gun is reloaded. Second, use your radar to find out where enemies are at. Then, you can use the TSwMPC from out of sight of your opponent and either hit them with it or have them move away so that you can get in place to land a bunch of nades.

It is sometimes also useful if you know where a Barbatos is about to land close to an ally and you plant it so that it hits him during his own stun so that he stays stunned for even longer and can't follow up or jump out and you pelt him with nades and allow your teammate to escape.

Similarly, you can also hit a Zaku Melee who is doing his invulnerable ability so that it hits him right after he finishes, allowing you and teammates to quickly kill him before he gets any benefit from his charge.

You don't use it for damage, but for the stun to catch people around corners that might not know you are there or to otherwise further punish suits that are immobilized for whatever reason.

In general, you should avoid directly looking at enemies as Mahiroo. Bounce your poo poo off walls and ceilings. Use the kick to create space when someone charges you.

I think if there's any one thing that really drives me crazy it's the Control-style mode where you rotate taking one of three points, and how a team can be completely shut out but if they finally get the point before time, they can hold it until they win

It's better to give the opponent a few percent on one point in order to secure the next point (hopefully with some ultimates saved). Tactical retreat when time is up, focusing on not losing anyone seems to be the key to avoid throwing a huge lead in that game mode.

Charge your shot while the other suit is in the air do that it is ready to go when you are able to get your cursor on its head and then follow up with the normal shots.

Worked well for me through Gamecaster. I have a 5950X and a GTX 1070, so I used software encoding at the Medium or Slow preset (can't remember which) with no issues. 6000 CBR, keyframe of 2. Don't remember if there is any other notable setting.

Honestly this game's map design has been standout compared to other recent FPS. I can't think of a single map that I outright hate playing on. Even Lunar Comm Base with the dumb gimmick of adjacent team spawns is pretty fun.

The only maps I dislike are that one Attack/Defend moon map and Harbor. And that is because they both have single chokepoints where there are no easily accessible alternate routes around.

If you have Nvidia, Shadowplay is easy and simple. There is also a game recording feature built into Win 10 and newer. With either solution, you can start/stop recordings with keyboard shortcuts.

Or you can use something like Gamecaster or OBS to stream to twitch or YouTube so that the videos are saved on their servers instead of your computer. Lower quality, though.
