I stopped using Scientist for the same reason. You pretty much HAVE to either kill a wounded enemy, or hope that a shotgun + melee will finish off your foe, or else you’re DOOMED. I hate that its hard to pick this class if you want to win, as there are likely 2 other dudes on your team who will pick the jet regardless of how sucky they are with it.
As for the leader, best class in the game. It’s shitty that you usually get like 2 leaders on a team, and one doesn’t know how to use it properly. While I can understand that the leader is probably one of the only classes that can truly handle shit on his own (the spy comes close, but once in combat is doomed to eat pain), that doesn’t mean you pick leader then NEVER BUFF ANYBODY. I have honestly never seen a leader buff another teammate, just run around buff themselves then rush into battle. Me, I am running around trying to find people to buff all the time.
Yet again, this class is a BEAST if you have a leader follow you around (try taking on a leader and a soldier, both buffed, at once), but I sadly never get helped at all with this class. Throw down an ammo beacon, and watch my teammates have a firefight 10 feet away from it, avoiding the buffs. Leader walks right by me, doesn’t buff me, then buffs HIMSELF, then charges into his death.
Anywho, if anybody is up for some matches, I am hopping on now…add me or msg me
I catch your drift SoVi3t, most of the time I got randoms running around with absoluty no teamplay to be found.
You rarely get teamed up with decent teamplayers… One time when I was a scientist I had a group who actually stuck together.
So I just hanged back and played medic (which thankfully also pays of in XP), as we steamrolled the other team.
(The “BubbleBoy” in gamehealing achievement with healing grenades for xp still crackes me up :lol: )
no, I enjoy Escalation, but everything costs too much. I end up spending all my money on overshields, and ammo, and am stuck with the starting gun and the shotgun all game
playing with this uber transformers nerd kid now. Pretty good player, but he will NOT shut up about random transformers shit…it’s like I’m playing with the wiki transformers entry
I knew that the preorder exclusive characters would be made available as DLC at some point. I just knew it.
But still…No Wheeljack? Seriously? Are they saving him for WFC2 or something?
Not necessarily.
ending
Spoiler
Note that Optimus didn’t say they were getting on the Ark immediately. I thought that the ending left enough space so that they could do WFC2 and pick up where the last game left off, and cover some random things before they finally do get on the Ark.
While a change of scenery from Cybertron would be nice, I don’t know if I want to see the next game be on Earth. I’m having a hard time imagining the maps, plus not to mention the problem of their Earth vehicle forms - I don’t think VW will approve of Activision putting guns on a Bug. And F-15 Eagles don’t really have “hover” modes.
hell no, bring it to earth, but gimme real world locations, sorta like the Godzilla games, but with more detail. Lemme fuck up Time Square, the Great Wall, and a bunch of other crazy locations. Multiple levels of metal = boring.
As a scientist player who get at least 3rd most kills almost every match I disagree completely because while you can’t tank n spank the way you do with soldier or leader you can still play aggressively. The most important thing to remember is to place your sentry in a high traffic choke point so it’s always hitting someone but also in front of a wall or an object where it has some protection from the back and make sure to place it at the top of your double jump so it’s harder for others to hit and so it doesn’t die from whirlwind. Never wander too far from sentry unless it’s to lure players into it and don’t forget to use a healing grenade on your sentry and yourself when 2 or more people are shooting at you as long as you keep double jump strafing your invincible as long as it lasts so take advantage of it. Another thing integral to winning with scientist is never overstaying your welcome, when you run low on health jet the hell out of there to the nearest health/overshield unless of course you see people shooting each other then obviously you want to take advantage of that. Having energon storm perk makes shockwave powerful enough to kill almost every time after you hit someone with shotty twice and it’s great to keep whirlwind at bay while sentry takes care of the person. Finally don’t forget that when you die so does tour sentry so a lot of the time I like to strafe around and make my target chase me while sentry takes care of him because most of the time the opponent will be dumb enough to go after you instead of the sentry.
BTW don’t be a “team player” if you don’t want to be as long as you have a positive k/d ratio that’s all that’s requires from you, I don’t know about the rest of you but in TDM I think my teammates are happier for me to go 15-5 instead of 10-10 and use repair ray on them occasionally.
A question for other scientists do you use shockwave or drain? Any ability that deals direct damage is always welcome but with the drain enhancing perk is drain better considering scientist needs all the health he can get?
It’s more like 100 or so usually. Not only is DM more fun to me and more of a challenge but I noticed the level of competition is significantly higher.
forget coming to earth, they should set the sequel during/after the 1986 movie when they started having adventures all over the galaxy. You know when they had the awesome ‘Bots’ intro
also, game needed more shitty robots like blurr, perceptor, those three dudes that turned into a camera. Also, where are the triple-changers? I was at least expecting astrotrain to make an appearance. No Quintessons aswell? They’re an important part of transformers aren’t they?
Game is awesome. 10 levels isnt much but they each take a while to beat so that’s alright. Havent tried multiplayer yet but you all seem to love it so i’ll give it a shot one of these days
multiplayer needs like 2 more classes. One jet, and one crazy pure ground vehicle. I am kinda disappointed that for ground vehicles, none are really worth STAYING a vehicle rather than a robot.
Next one should be on earth. You can ‘dumb down’ the vehicles (they won’t be alien technology, just simple trucks/choppers/jets/cars. Earth allows for tons of crazy ideas, like battles in WATER, or in a destroyable forest, or shit you dont get on a planet made of metal. Cybertron is cool, but like I said earlier, 15 cyber levels that look pretty much identical (metal walls, plasma barriers, blinky lights), gets boring after a bit. Gimme some REAL variety.
Lemme fight on the beach, or in a major city, or farmland, or a forest, or under water ffs. Lemme try crazy shit that Cybertron just can’t give me.
PS-i never realized you pretty much get the heavy metal achievement for taking down that HUGE ass bot!!!
again, you’re gonna want to play around with leader. warcry’d leader missles (in vehicle mode) are extremely strong. not to mention a warcry’d leader ram + roll out ability, which does around 4.5 damage.
a warcry’d missile shot followed by vehicle ram will take down everything in this game, unless they got an overshiled or are warcry’d themselves. leader vehicle mode is definitely the strongest in the game.
meh. most of those require you to either have assistance, or hope for a lot of shit to add up for you.
And most of the time with the leader I just Ram, transform, and hit em with a fusion shot to kill em easily. But ram is a hard ability to land properly. And after the ram, you don’t STAY in truck form. You either transform or gtfo
is the XP weekend over now? I haven’t went online to check yet lol. I did manage to take my leader from level 7 to 19 over the weekend though, as well as get the rest of my classes to around levels 7-10
