Destroyers don’t need any other weapons; its the AoE class. Its all about anticipating ppl’s movements. The ammo does need to be upped tho and so does the damage on the Riot Cannon. Both the Scatter Blaster and Path Blaster do more damage; what kind of shit shit is that??
If you use him right tho (just like any other class) you can wreck shop. Me and another guy were both Destroyers in TDM; we accounted for 30 of our teams 40 points. He was 17-2 and I was 13-0.
I hope they fix the splash on the riot cannon cannon, whose idea was it to make a characters primary weapon a four rocket clip rocket launcher with shit splash damage and a sort of long reload?
Who the fuck approved that? Who thought that was a good idea? It already takes 3-5 shots to kill, but no they said “lets make it slow and easy to dodge, and have only 4 rockets per clip so anyone who isn’t blind or turned around will be able to easily kill the shooter”.
If it wasn’t for the Destroyer’s amazing vehicle mode cannon and his thermo rockets he would be unusable.
The class works but that gun is shit, anticipation or not you cant deny that it’s the worst primary in the demo.
Because you’re expected to hit with it. The damage overall should be buffed actually; the Scatter Blaster and Path Blaster do more damage.
The use of splash damage is for clean up. You got the guy on the ropes and he tries the take cover and you hit the ground right as he gets behind it for the kill
If you’re close-quarters with someone you should be getting damn near direct hits every time anyway.
The thingie at the top of the screen says that the level cap is going to be raised on the 10th and that’s cool as hell. New unlocks will be available too!
You’re expected to hit with every weapon, but hitting with a slow projectile is pretty hard unless you’re close or the person you’re shooting at doesn’t know how to move in more than one direction.
and yes, the splash is for clean-up thats why I want it, as of now to get any splash you have to aim almost directly at them for it to even get a hit marker on them because its so shitty.
it wouldn’t be nearly as bad if they didn’t make it 3-5 hits to kill with a 4 rocket clip. Rocket launchers are supposed to do damage, 2 direct hits should be enough to kill anyone except a titan.
I hop in they decide to give him the scout’s pistol as a weapon so I won’t have to use that shitty canon because its apparently the fastest weapon he has.
That’s what’s keeping me from using the leader/destroyer, the 4 round mag. Try taking out a sci with it with him jumping around like he’s Mysterio back in the 90’s.
It’s weak against the Titan because that class has so much health you’ll have to reload at least once just to kill one and the reloading takes a while.
It’s weak against the Infiltraitor because they move around so much, are way faster, and the cannon sucks dick from far away meaning you have to get in at least medium range to get any hits, maybe. And that mean they get to rock your shit with that insane shotgun, you’ll lose every time unless they don’t know how to aim or walk through your shield.
Its weak against the Scientist because the zip around so much and it’s impossible to hit them while they’re hovering/flying. They can beat you just by moving around a lot while shooting you with their assault rifles.
It’s weak against other Destroyers if they are using the thermo rocket or the vehicle cannon because their shields stop you rockets and force you to put up your shield just so you don’t get immediately destroyed.
I totally forgot that Conquest is how I hit Prime Mode so fast in WFC. There is a lot of info about the game, not so much for the mechanic changes. Something that I miss in FOC is the barrel roll for the Scientist. I guess that was a concession made to accomodate swoop LOL.
I just really miss the different vehicles weapon options, vehicles abilities, and killstreaks granting stuff. I mean why tell me I have a killstreak at 3/5/7/etc. if I don’t get anything out of it? Seems weird.
Sonic told me there was rumblings regarding a Dinosaur class for MP as DLC which would be pretty cool at least, I wonder if I will get full dino customization parts in the main title regardless. Only saw heads for them and the insecticons.
There is apparently. I doubt we will get that much customization outside of colors. Remember, appendages are used differently in transformation than they do with vehicle based forms. While customization is cool, I was really hoping for all of the colors under the spectrum being available for both factions. A minor gripe, but using Halo Reach as your point of comparison is a little far fetched.
Yeah, I don’t see why any would cheat but we’ve run across a few. I emptied enough ammo to fell two Titans into an Infiltrator and got killed for the trouble, he couldn’t even hit me until I just ran out of ammo and attempted to leave. His score was like 34/2? Lol, shit was hilarious when he was winning 1v3’s.
I do enjoy the customization as is and how it effects your vehicle form as well, colors not so much. I wish I could pick my own colors and contrast for them aside from just a giant page of predetermined patterns and a simple slider bar.
Anyways paid half off today, want that G1 Optimus skin.
Yeah, infiltrator are some nasty little buggers. Like you said, there are times when you load shells into your opponent and they just laugh at you.
I agree about the customization. I sometimes just log into my PS3 just to dream up combinations. I did kinda wish that you could use any head, arm, and shoulder (legs would be tricky in some cases) with a primary and secondary color of your choosing. My thought was to create a Star Convoy and a Black Convoy
Yeah that would be pretty killer, maybe they will fix it upon full release but I doubt it, might get to confusing with the different sides. Hell I got confused on A flag when a pink and purple Optimus was shooting at me lol, I didn’t see his name bar saying he was on the other team and just assumed based on chasis design. Derp moment for sure.
At least that disguise ability for scientists is gone. I remember seeing a Yellow and Red Shockwave in a map (WFC) just chilling. My brain went “One of these things is not like the other”. Chaos then ensued :lol:. I did just send FeedBack@transformersgame.com a message about the colors thing. You never know, it may happen.
I always played a Scientist with that, Sniper Rifle, and Shotgun. Disguise myself and transformer slide onto a flag for pointblank Shotty and kill them in one hit. Take the flag then sit up high sniping before repeating. That or take turret for trolling.
