ha i think when you run around a corner and see a max you shit yourself. thats always been the case. but other wise i think the smart player is always going to have an advantage over them. specially since we can SPRINT now!

Everything, since you're BR40 from the start.

Ill be here again, or very close to it, i don't particularly care how its obtained, aslong as its not in a fat suit or spawn camping.

I usually play supporting roles.. Medic, engineer, LMG providing covering fire, tank supporting advancing infantry troops, Anti-air (ground to air), that sort of thing. I rarely enjoy flying and sniping. There seem to be pretty decent customization options in this game, so I will probably be tempted to try different roles instead of just sticking to one or two.

The way it worked is if D2A (or really any member of the TR on Markov, or the NC on emerald) requested it, we could drop two or three bases behind where the main fight was and sever the link between bases to deny another empire their tech capabilities or interlink abilities by blowing, and then holding the gen against extreme odds for the time. We were also usually tasked with base resecures and tower holds, what eventually became referred to as a ToD (tower of doom). In other words, we were some of the first kill whores.

This usually consisted of at least two old style pounders on lockdown along with dedicated reppers for them, supported by players with mcgs and and special assault troopers with thumpers or rocklets.

So, by shock trooper consider that and think about what a group of lone wolves could do together in a similar setup. That is what I refer to.

Sniping will be my first cert path!! Popping heads for the NC from miles afar.

I had a few myself, that computer died years ago. I lost a bunch of screenshots which I've only loosely held onto through other means.

Buggy/MA/AV/Adv.Eng. gameplay !

It's fast, teamplay oriented, sneaky, deadly and always a lot of fun. Going from foot to ride and ride to foot also made it very dynamic.

LegioX · 2012-06-05, 06:26 AM

90% anti-air. My plane will be decked out to do nothing but shoot down other pilots
