Master Sergeant

Just scouting out some Planetside 2 videos and came across this…
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gd...he-game/728282 at about 5.25 into this clip it looks like the TR infiltrator does some kind of special melee attack on the NC troop. Is there any confirmation on special melee attacks for the infiltrator class? Sorry if this topic has being touched upon but I could find it anywhere else. |

Looks like a regular backstab to me. I'm working on the presumption that knife attacks to the back are one hit kills against most infantry, probably not MAXs and maybe not the heavies, but at least the light, engis and medics.
Front/side on the other hand are a different matter. |

You get to be invisible but at the cost of immediate death if anything sees you make a kill. That's a good balance in my opinion, you can be devastating if you're smart and use terrain and timing well, for the most part the majority of people cloaking will be utterly useless and dead the vast majority of the time though. |

Just as long as I don't have to decloak when I drop a boomer in the middle of a TR group therapy session. I can deal with just about anything they throw at me. Besides I will be in my Engi suit most of the time. And that video was great for a laugh at all the bunny hopping Devs!

I understand firing a gun to make the cloaker uncloak, but perhaps not a full reveal for a knife would be balanced I think. Worked in PS anyway imo.

I really hope they don't decloak you when you attack. Any good player knew what each side's knife and pistol sounded like. Using directional sound you could then almost always turn and catch their blur as they were running away or flip on darklight and have them just as fast if they sat still.
Cloaking is hard because it requires A LOT of patience. If they are going to decloak for attacks you are pretty much gonna see a 1:1 ratio in kill:death. No way in hell you will get to accomplish streaks. At that point I would just go rexo and trade kills a lot faster and throw patience out the window. |

I do not see why a cloaker would get 1:1 KD ratios if they are good are picking targets. Especially if they have grenades or boomers.
Playing infiltrator requires a lot of skill but that kind of skill is not about twitch and more about setting up good opportunities and taking them.
Medics aren't meant to be killing machines. Maybe the recon class is meant to do recon, not heavy assault. Last edited by sylphaen; 2012-03-27 at 09:28 AM. |
