We don’t acknowledge his presence on SRK anymore, also, that song remix was pimptacular.

@ Ben: Yeah I couldn’t find it. Going to legit bust a gut is they charge for it next week.

Progress so far: More single player Achievements, got all the Escalation related ones as well. MP wise my Infiltrator is now 19 and one of my favorite classes due to EMP “DUNK!” grenade. destroyer still around 16, Titan to 12, and Scientist to 17.

Lots of gripes: SOOOOOOO many fucking bugs it boggles my damn mind on what they were actually doing all this time. How do you strip the fucking MP to bare bones and have it play worse than the previous game? I fell through a floor and got instant killed, ran into an enemy and launched 200 feet into the air and fell into a wall on top of four spawning enemies. The background and foreground clip like crazy, and so on.

Why does the match making automatically pick the worst person to host? Times when we have a green or yellow host? Pretty damn good for the most part. But about 8 games out of 10 it’s a red and it’s god awful. The system doesn’t even try to locate a better one if it’s bad, and it gets BAD, only if they decide to quit out.

What’s with random weapon damage? I know I’m not the only one as Sonichuman, his friend and two of my friends grouped up and we were all separately complaining about shit I did a few days ago. One instant my Path Finder or Scatter Blaster can kill an enemy in a clip or less as it should, no problem. Same situation, same enemy and I’ll empty both my clips and melee twice yet they still live and I die in a few round. This is consistent for ALL classes we’ve played. I can’t tell if it’s cheating, a glitch, or what.

Hit detection, this game doesn’t have any. Listening to people in in-game chat or friends in party they come to the same conclusion I do; You can’t fucking tell if you are getting hit until it’s to late! Seriously the only time I notice I am taking damage unless it’s something obvious like whirlwind Titan I don’t know until my Shield is in the red, by that time it’s fucking to late anyways.

I can’t tell you how many times I am dueling a Titan with the Healing Shotgun, and I think “Oh they are fizzling out before they hit me, should be easy” Only for some invisible projectile shelling me and not any kind of detection whatsoever and then I vaporize into blue crosses.

Button presses: Only a few people have complained about this other than me, I want to know from you guys if you have difficulty switching weapons or shooting sides? I have to press the button 3-5 times to get it to switch, and ALWAYS in a heated engagement. Though a fair few times it happens when no one is even near me. I don’t even remember the last time I played a game with such unresponsive buttons, this is the #1 DO NOT do thing in a game, much less one focused around MP.

Just a metric fuck ton of rookie mistake they should not be making, but I guess all that time not fixing up the MP must have been for the day one DLC, since we ALL love that. I can still bitch even though I bought it, so blah. Also the colors missing is really odd.

382

Agreed with this. Go for the assist whenever you can but don’t go gung ho. When playing a Scientist you should be thinking ‘What would Starscream do?’ Things get too hairy? GTFO. Play that class like a little bitch and you’ll do fine.

383

I have issues with unresponsive buttons every so often but I’ve only had to hit the button twice and it has only happened when i needed to switch guns or switch hands. For the most part I’ve blamed myself because I thought I was hitting it too fast or something…like when I’m in the middle of transforming or doing too many things at once.

The wall detection for this game and overall latency needs to be smoothed out. I already told AYO about the time we were in Escalation and had to leave a friend to die because he got stuck in a wall. While it was god damn hilarious at the time it’s sore spot.

Also fuck that EMP ‘Dunk’ shit lol. ‘WHO THE FUCK THREW SPRITE IN MY TRANSFORMERS FACE!?’

384

I am so salty about getting a negative K/D in a game where I got 10 assists. Motherfucker I BLEW that guy’s shield off and shredded his health, and then some prick with a Pathblaster fires ONE bullet and gets ALL the credit for the kill? GTFO. I also love not even getting assists after spending a full minute in a firefight with someone, shit is bonkers.

HELLA problems with the buttons. Not just the weapons either, my Titan shield not coming out has cost me like 5 lives thus far.

385

LOL, I did this actually in Chapter 11 with the searcher-bot. It found me and I tried to “fight” it. I remembered who the hell I was, transformed and got vertical. My bro thought that was hilarious. I was like hey, “What Would Starscream Do?”

It’s satisfying when you can transform and GTFO of dodge. That’s something no shooter can touch. You come equipped with an escape option, standard

386

I might be picking this game up today.

Is there anything in the full game’s multiplayer that wasn’t shown in the demo(not including the stuff that was demo locked, because we all know about it)?

Also post your created characters, show off some of that creativity and class set-ups.

Reviews, reviews, tell me the pros and cons(multiplayer wise).

Is it me or does jumping into transformations make them 10x cooler, or even doing a spinning jump out of vehicle form when you enter a firefight.

387

Often times as a Destroyer if I’m already rounding a corner and I’m just starting to take damage, I’ll jump do a 360 transform and put up the barrier right at the door with missles pointed right in it’s direction to try and defend myself.

388

Pros:

+Heavily promotes teamwork and unity (Till All Are One)
+Rewarding and fun levelling system
+Customization of your bots
+Tricking out weapons to suit your specific playstyle
+Great maps that allow strategic thinking
+(mostly) Amazing balance between classes
+Giant Robots

Cons:

-Occasional weird hit detection (possibly due to lag)
+Come in Decepti, Insecto, and Mini varieties

389

DAUNK! Is a pro as well. I wouldn’t complain or even take the time to write out stuff if I didn’t enjoy the game, when we grouped up last night it was a blast and the teamwork made everything a lot easier.

390

Like I said before, post them bots and class set-ups!

391

I would but High Moon Studios took away my Destroyer’s color scheme :sad:

392

Scouts feel underpowered as usual. Subsonic repeater sucks; been emptying half a clip into people and they’re still not dying.

393

Actually they start off sorta of weak but around level 16 they get cool shit, My Scout class so far has gathered me the highest kills and points and I’m really enjoying it. Rocking the Path Blaster with the less recoil per, Scatter Blaster with RoF perk, and EMP with the speed up on successful hit.

I still chalk most stuff up to sporadic weapon damage or lag in-game, an issue that effects most classes. Most of what I take is just to counter-act problems with the system. How sad right.

394

It’s probably just lag, definitely. Half the time the player listing shows blacked out connections and doesn’t update ping.

395

A zillion people on GameFAQs screamed for nerfs and thanks to HMS’s Feedback thing, they got their way. This is what worries me about the game- instead of learning to adapt, people will scream “NERF” and HMS will listen and actually ACT on it.

The class WAS overpowered dude. A Scout had absolutely no weaknesses and over-buffed weaponry to boot. Two shotgun shells, dead. One or two Sniper shots from a recoil-less rifle, dead. Path Blaster that was unerringly accurate and took you down in three hits, again dead.

On top of this the class was tiny, tinier as a car, and didn’t have the least amount of health in the game. Stealth at the time was on a 1x timer and I could literally zip across one end of the map to the other as an invisible non-targetable car. On top of that, the meter cooled down quicker than the Scientist’s heal. I think the Shotgun got hit to hard but as is the Infiltrator made off pretty damn well over all, compare this to LoL or any MOBA nerfs and the class is lucky.

People were justified in his nerf, and the class is still probably the strongest in the game. I wish we all knew how fucking bad the netcode would be so we could have complained then.

398

I still think the Titan has too much stuff :bluu:

399

The only problem I have with the Titan currently is the Shotgun they possess, or rather the extended range perk. That gives it silly range and damage while simultaneously healing it’s owner.

Otherwise most of my Titan deaths come from getting caught off guard or a bad dash press, I haven’t met a good enough Titan to warrant me getting mad. Most of my deaths were my fault.

400

Agreed. I usually die from going in head on hoping they have been weakened from the firefight I just ran up on. Mobility is on your side when going against this class.
