Yeah, I am trying that. However, the guys I play with are from CA, and I am on the east coast. So they start playing an our or two before I hit the hay. too bad there is no clan support in this game
yeah, lots of idiots playing that game, or people going solo. I never hear microphones anymore 
I also love when you’re a high level soldier, and you try to get an ion turret built, and NOBODY will stand near your ammo beacon to help build it
lol…some dudes avoid ammo beacons like it’s a fuckin plague or something
i know its like "here lemme make you do more damage, and replenish grenades and ammo, oh and I get a giant gun which anybody can pick up
but yeah, charge in at that leader with your scout and try to melee him to death instead."
2x exp weekend went pretty well!
got scout, scientist & soldier all up to 25 in prime mode.
now just gotta finish up leader…which can really be done anytime, lol, and I’m done leveling 
also hit #3 in pc conquest. hopefully I can get up to #2 sometime this week.
lol im only top 2k for kills and conquest on 360 
and my sniper is level 20, and my scientist I got up to 15
leader is CHIMP easy to level up lol
yeah, leader is cake. why I did all the other shit first so I can just play braindead now
I’m gonna try to learn my friends leader build though. based around magma frag with no fusion cannon.
so disgusted playing against all these shitty fusioners that I’m gonna force myself to believe there’s a better way to play the class…even if there’s not 
but yeah one of my friends told me that during these 2xEXP weekends that if you DO NOT LOG OFF after the exp has been reverted, you’ll continue to get the 2x. I think we were playing til about 11:30 central last night and still getting it, but I forgot and logged out. still, something handy to remember for the future if you need more time to level shit.
Actually since the Frag got boosted, its actually quite usable (it sucked so bad before). I was fucking around with a frag build the other day. They’re great in Conquest when you can just throw a few on a site, walk away, then detonate when you hear “we are losing B” or whatever.
yeah, i was playing until later last night, after everybody hear was talking about it ending earlier. I love that trick 
crap i missed double xp weekend… =(
has anyone noticed how many shitty soldier players there are out there too?
as scout or sci I’d just tink them and they’d fucking start mashing the whirlwind button, even at huge distances
think too many of them use it as a “last resort” tactic, instead of just rushing in with a warcry and using it like the offensive beast it is. I swear I’d rush points, see two peeps on the lookout at a conquest point, drive in, whirlwind behind them, and they wouldn’t move for the entire whirlwind. do people just not expect it to be used offensively?
way I see it, you use right off the bat and just let it recharge. chances are someone will pop an intercooler and you’ll be all set to do it again. I dunno why I’ve seen so many shitty soldiers get hit 3 times then decide to last resort it in hopes of randomly killing you…you really don’t think I’m going to walk/drive backward and continue to shoot you while you ww me right before you die
I don’t even think ww is that great anymore, energon sling seems to destroy leaders/soldiers anyway so I might just opt out for that in the future. then random ww’s/warcrys just get stuffed lol.
The trick with WarCry is to transform out and activate it simultaneously. You don’t get the stupid “KAIOKEN ATTACK” effect, as the cool down for the transform is quicker than that and you don’t get the yell, so I can “sneak” up. I have seen more garbage soldiers as of late. WW doesn’t ever scare me really. I started using my Defense Option Leader (WarCry, Barrier, 5X Energon Pistol/ Fusion Cannon) as I got a couple headshots out of WW :lol:. Barrier has really come in handy for Conquest, and I like the play style change. Its kinda funny actually, throw up a barrier, a soldier would start shooting it, and try to rush in with WW. Proper spacing and a well timed shot does it all the time. A good soldier, is a force to be reckoned with.
My biggest issue in Conquest is the knowledge of routes in a few of the maps, especially in Streets. I don’t play that one often so I just go APE SHIT and blitz nodes. I sometimes wonder that the people I play against are either not that good, where can just come in and rape a 3 man squad. 2 die, and get an assist on the last one, as I announce my position and usually get some backup (albeit a little too late).
Anyone ever ram a Jet Midair, it’s hilarious.
I am pissed that I really didn’t take advantage of the Double XP weekend like i was supposed to. I now only have 32K left for my leader. This picturesums up my feelings on my weekend
Anybody falling off maps randomly lately? I started a match last night, and we all transformed and started to drive, then hit each other, glitched/fell off the map, and died.
This has happened to me many times, not only off the beginning spawn either. Pisses me off.
As for soldier, sometimes you have to WW just so you waste it if you know you will die otherwise (ie get caught with a scrawpmaker not already firing, etc). But yeah, lots of guys using it at horrible times. I also love the fucking jets that disguise, then oh so obviously “sneak” up on you.
and yes, I rammed a jet mid air on the stage with the bottomless pit everywhere. Came off a ramp, and caught him completely by accident. Made my day.
I must also say that as a scout, getting your hands on a frag launcher is AWESOME
I’ve noticed ALOT of shitty Soldiers lately…some I would snipe from afar and they go APE SHIT hitting that WW button…it’s hilarious. I only use WW when there’s a clusterfuck of people trying to get a node…RAPING SEASON!
i maintain yet again, without warcry, soldiers are weaksauce
just started playing this again on PC after being away for about a month. HOLY FUCK did the number of players drop. What the hell…
Thankfully I havent seen any hacks/exploits yet, but the steam forums make it sound like everyone is doing it. My main class (soldier) is rusty as fuck. Either everybody got better or I got hella worse lol. I’m using energon sling alot more now due to everyone and their mom running warcry. It’s great against other soldiers as well who just wanna WW all day.
I’ve been debating droping WW from one of my slots cause I dont use it much anymore. Thoughts? It’s alway been a staple in my 3 different builds. I’d run either ammo beacon / e. sling / hover + WW. I may do beacon + sling.
I havent hit prime mode but I’ve lost motivation to grind up the other classes. I’m at 25 with soldier, 21 with leader, 15 with sci and 4 (lol) with scout. I hate playing scout with a passion lol. I really hope they get off their ass and bring the DLC to the PC version. How are the new maps for those of you on PS3/360?
i havent played the new maps yet, and i highly doubt many people actually own them yet (every time they come up in MP, they get veto’d)
And keep WW. Still a soldiers best chance at killing a scout if they manage to sneak in close enough to you.
Pretty much gonna play this as much as I can before Halo Reach comes out and kills the ‘scene’.
Which I normally wouldn’t care about, but somebody thought it was a good idea to not have splitscreen/system link multiplayer. And there goes any chance of the game surviving past the post hype population.
It is not coincidence that games with really strong communities have offline multiplayer functionality.
yeah no split screen on this game DID hurt, I will have to admit
and i dont think the scene will die when Reach comes out…there aint much of a scene as is lol
Yeah. Like 1,000 players altogether last time I logged. On one hand, all you need is so many players online for a few good games, on the other hand this will almost surely mean lack of DLC support. At least the strong reviews and sales will coax a sequel.
What’s up with gamers? AvP, Blur, Transformers… *Great *games with pathetic online population counts. It’s no wonder we only see sequels coming left and right.
