It's a pretty OK game. I expected it to be generic shooter crap but was pleasantly surprised that it had a few neat features.

I'm downloading it now to check it out.

>It's f2p and a bit like CoD

Yet there's been a ton of threads the last few days about this game full of people praising this game, while enjoying CoD is practically an insult among the retards on this board.

I'm getting the fucking "match is about to enter intermission please try again later" message every fucking time, from both the website launcher and the steam version.

Has anyone fixed this yet?

Those fucking mechs man. Other than that it's an alright game. I haven't tried any other weapon except the default ones.

>>145720018
It does play like CoD; small maps (one of them being ridiculously small), tight controls, run and gun style and twitch shooting but it does have better mechanics.

I'm in dire need of a good gun setup.

Anyone find the perfect low recoil, low scoped spread assualt/burst rifle combination?

I played it for a while earlier today, before I went to sleep. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Protip: Get max running speed and a low-recoil SMG. It's overpowered AS FUCK. Not really, people just suck ass at aiming and will never touch you.

The burst fire rifle is pretty good I find, but it's woefully inaccurate and unreliable. The bolt-action rifle is fucking obnoxious on the other hand and only faggots use it.

Probably the best part about the game is how easy it is to roflstomp people. The community is SO casual its not even funny. If you have ANY skill you can destroy left and right. Even with very basic weapons.

>>145721317
Muting the music was one of the first things I did. Now I listen to touhou music instead. The game is 10x better now, easily.

Watched TotalBiscuit's video of it. Looks alright. I generally hate MMS but I'll give it a go.

>>145720936

Is that so? I thought it was pretty accurate statistically, if I remember correctly, the recoil is pretty high though.

Just speculation.

>>145721456
>roflstomp
You disgust me.

The community is really casual, though. Most people are level 1, and those who aren't still suck ass at the game but have the benefit of using unlocked shit. You get points even if you lose or do badly, so even a casual can unlock shit. I guess if it were any way else, good players would eventually have a monopoly of winning.

I just can't force myself to play any shooters anymore.. even if they are f2p

Have you faggots never played a Blacklight game?

No seriously what the fuck?

That's like saying Unreal is a bit like Halo.

>>145721841
It's best usage is between short to mid range. At mid and long it's worthless.

With that said, most enemies are engaged in the effective range of it, so it works out.

I played so much Counter strike and CoD that I'm burned out on these kind of games.

>shoot someone 6 times in the head

Why does this keep happening?
I've made sure I'm actually hitting them in the head and my ping is always around 42-60MS

I've gone up beside someone at close range and shot a burst all into their head and got killed by a fucking pistol while they had three quarters HP left.

>>145722260
That's what's keeping me going. After I unlock everything I'll probably play 4 more games before quitting.

>>145722110
>It's best usage is between short to mid range
In my opinion, that's the range firefights take place in most of the maps.

>>145722326
Like I said earlier, the burstfire rifle is really inaccurate. Don't aim for the head - aim for the chest. Seriously.

>>145722260

Doesn't it take like 30 hours of play to permanantly unlock even the cheapest gun accessory, of which there are like 1000?

>>145721903
>being a tripfag
You disgust me.

I do appreciate how that the scale for armor/damage is relatively low, making it so that f2p players can take out p2w players with relative ease. I don't get why there are so many bad players. It makes it fun to dominate, but at the same time, it is kind of sad. I hope it being on steam will help make it more competitive.

>>145722501
I agree. That's why I said that.
>With that said, most enemies are engaged in the effective range of it, so it works out.

>>145722546
Probably, but most of the accessories are functionally identical, so after you unlock the first like, 5, there's no reason to unlock any more.

>>145722512
I was literally right next to him when I shot him in the head, there is absolutely no way I missed.

>>145722760
Fucked up hit detection? I think the hit detection is much smaller and tighter than other shooters.

I enjoy it. I wish it used boosts like Tribes for its "f2p" gimmick instead of straight up buying shit but it's still pretty good.

The lag can be a game killer though.

I'd really like to get a group together to play this with or against. It seems like that would suit this game quite well.

I know that feel, bro, I do. You did miss, though. The burstfire rifle is fucked up like that.

I've died many times to that bullshit.

Does your gun have wide or low spread? Because with the burstfire rifle, the first bullet gets that accuracy only, the others are subject to increased spread because of the rapid fire.

Going in as a free player, what would you guys recommend as the first thing I go for to unlock? I hear incendiary ammo is OP

And that's my problem with BR, the grinding does nothing but grinds my nerves; owning something permanently really pushes you to spend actual money. That said, the 'on-lease' system allows you to experiment so it's not so bad.

Toxic ammo is even more OP.

I'm enjoying it, but two things piss me off to no end:

1. If you do well, you can get a mech. This snowballs into one team crushing the other once they draft a few on the field. And don't give me that weak point bullshit; they're still hard to kill and can nuke you in half a second.

2. You can't shoot when you're in HVT mode, which is retarded. There's also that half second delay when you switch it off before you can fire. Why would they ever design it that way?

It also bears mentioning that the cost to permanently unlock weapons is absurd. I've put in about 4 to 5 hours and have just enough GP to buy a scope or something. It would take damn near a month of consistent play to unlock even half of the items there. Fuckers.

>>145723413
>2. You can't shoot when you're in HVT mode, which is retarded. There's also that half second delay when you switch it off before you can fire. Why would they ever design it that way?

Uh, to stop it from being overpowered? Just maybe?

>>145723592
This. I don't mind the way they have it.

>>145723413
Unlocking a permanent weapon costs $5 at most.

On other games where you rent a weapon a permanent gun costs around $30-$60

When I go into my customization it tells me I own Hero Viper, there is no "Locked" on it or anything, but it won't let me equip it.
What the fuck?

>>145723413
Luckily most people don't know how to use the hardsuits properly. It's also really easy to kill the people inside with flamethrowers.

I have a pretty fast character, never have any problems with killing enemy mechs.

Also, protip. After you use the boost, press control to prevent being locked up. Stay in open areas and around your teammates. They'll help protect you against flamethrower fags, and you'll help protect them against everything else.

>>145723708
Try recovering password, dipshit.

>>145723413
1. Mechs are pussies if you catch them alone. Just get in their grill and fuck 'em in the ass.

2. It's for balance. The slight delay is intentional so you have to think strategically before you flip down that visor to update your situational awareness.

Bought some armor yesterday night. Go to play today. It all expired. I despise cash shop games like these.

>>145723907

I can agree you on that but that would depend on how they use the mech. I have players who use the mech and use effectively it to patrol a chokepoint. Now that is smart and I can't fault them for it. While the rest are just fumbling around in open spaces where there are plenty of flanks to rush in with a flamethrower.

>>145724284
Making a comparison between it and call of duty really isn't fair. There are actually a number of interesting mechanics in this game, interesting environments, nice gunplay, etc. The only problem is the shitty community, and in that way I guess it is very similar to call of duty. You can make up for that by making the 12 year olds ragequit.

It's the same shit, really, but precision x has a few more features and isn't as unwieldy to set up.

Also, this game really is not at all pay2win. I was dominating people on my first match, which I got 1st place in.

That's exactly what you'll get though.
People will just pay for either overpowered guns or overpowered ammo types that can only be bought at the cash shop.
And yes, the game is piss easy, mainly because the community is shit, but get 1 or 2 premiums on the same team and you will get fucked.

>>145725028
It takes like one and a half games to get enough to unlock something.

The permanent unlock rate is about the same as tribes.

i knew you motherfuckers were playing this

>greentextan outside our secret club. SHAZBOT

>>145725331
And the unlock rate is shit in Tribes too.
What's your point?s

>>145725009
>whoever shoot first wins
Not really. It's not like there's some ridiculous auto-aim or huge hitboxes. Different weapons are more suited to different situations, too, so getting shot at by some guy who has a sniper-rifle close ranger usually does not result in death. At least, not yours.

>>145725235
You know you actually unlock stuff as you level up, right? All of that stuff that pay2win fags get, you can get as well.

>>145725235
>That's exactly what you'll get though.

But it's not. Even the highest level and most expensive unlocks are in some ways worse then the shit you get given when you start.

>>145724681

I've got the same problem. I made my account, set everything up fine, and when i boot up the game and try to sign in, it tells me that my password is wrong. I use that password for a couple other things, so I know it's right.

And if I go to password recovery, I get told that my email isn't on their list. But if I go into making a new account, it tells me my current email is in use. Hopefully, they are just cranking it through the system, but it's been a couple hours already.

Maybe for a day, if not its going to take a whole day of playing to permanently buy anything.

>>145725235
I'm under the impression that all of the items are available to everyone except for premade weapons and heroes (Both of which are not overpowered at all). It's more of pay4convenience if anything; grinding is ridiculously tedious.

>>145725451
Not the different ammo types.
That's exclusive to the cash shop.
And while they can permanently buy premade guns, you have to either grind for days to make a permanent one, or rent a new one every day.

>>145725420
The point is that it's not as shit as tribes because if you really want something you can sacrifice a very small amount of your potential earning for that day to have it.

>>145725451

You unlock the ability to buy items with GP; not the items themselves.

I just hit level 6, so I can buy a bunch of stuff.. if I want to pay 3k+ GP for permanent versions.

You don't get those items for free.

Why are so many of those who play this game absolutely shit at it?
I've never played CoD or it's clones, yet I can consistently top the scoreboard.

>>145725560
I'll have to look into the cash shop more.

When I played, though, I had no problems winning against a whole team of cash shop fags. It felt good, man. It felt real good.

Why would I ever play this over Planetside 2?

It's not very fun playing against them, but I do get satisfaction when-ever they ragequit or start whining in the chat.

I also enjoy the fact I've only seen one hacker despite it being f2p, and it isn't really very pay2win. The starter shit is usable, and you get so much dosh per match.
