I'm waiting to see what the initial reaction is like before I drop the cash but I'm still hype as gently caress. Just been burned too many times with preorder at this point.

Two things: is there a way to join a game or open up your game other than quick play, and I got a "rotate the radar dish" stage and couldn't stop adjusting the radar.

did you find voice comms or anything like that to be necessary?

related, does the game have any kind of ping system a la apex legends?

voice is absolutely not necessary

the map is very interactive and useful too

I keep falling back in love with the basic assault rifle using a strategy of orbital stuff + anti material rifle to strip armor if needed and then mag dumping.

Scout armor is so clutch for allowing you to nail a patrol with an airburst or clusterbomb

I've seen the opposite where we all get bogged down trying to get the last two nests with three minutes left. My decision to hoof it back to extract with 20 samples was not popular.

500KG bomb will do it if it hits close enough, maybe railcannon strike (haven't unlocked it).

yeah you gotta get right on it, a near miss will just really gently caress it up.

I just had a mission where my teammates were frantically running in one direction, I was frantically running in another, I realized the titan was following them and managed to pull off a perfectly timed and placed 500kg right on top of it. Felt amazing.

Then I died because I threw a grenade forgetting it was an impact.

strategem slot which means it's gonna be hilarious all the people getting butthurt when they drop a vehicle and it gets blown the gently caress up immediately

i've used the mortar sentry quite a bit now and i'm having trouble imagining how placement would even make a difference with teamkilling. it's indirect fire, it's going to shoot your teammates no matter what. maybe i'm missing something

You put it right next to the point you're defending and your other turrets further out. You're attempting to build a wall of fire that kills things before they get close enough that the mortar is dropping on both of you.

No seriously, we're the Nazis. We're the big bad evil invading three other factions, they're not gonna fight each other they're gonna team up against us. As for rebel humans being evil, what exactly do you think those evil broadcast towers we've been bombing are broadcasting?

Probably something like "hey turns out if you don't enslave shoot or bomb them they don't care"

People seem to thinking Thursday for some reason, but I have no idea why or how realistic that is.

I agree it's shaky but the thinking is they specifically said Soon tm and poo poo usually gets dropped on a Thursday to take advantage of the weekend.
