I wish they could have just used The War Within. I mean, that’s pretty much the basis of a good bit of the models, especially Optimus Prime
War Within was fucking epic. Damn shame Dreamwave went under, I loved their TF reboot. IDW’s cool but…
Anybody ever see the original Gamespot trailer for this game?

I lol’d so much when The Touch came on!!
And from what my hardcore TF friend said, originally Orion Pax was in awe of Megatron and other flight capable transformers. Megatron came to Orion to ask if he could use a storage warehouse. Orion said yes, then Megatron used it to steal Energon and also scrapped Orion, some chick bot, and Orion’s friend (who he said likely became Ironhide). They were then taken to Alpha who made them into new things he had created (autobots).
Also thought I should mention I also wish that they had a ten killstreak (highest I got was like 15 or some shit)…As it stands now, I just do the CoD trick, where I get a 7 kill streak, then hold it until I die (then use it and regain a killstreak)
I have to also admit I am saddened that they haven’t released any FREE content for this game.
Why? Things just aren’t free. And what we really wanna do is support these people. *We *can’t up and make a Transformers game of this caliber.
so they couldn’t give us ONE map (even if its escalaition), or some skins?
Look at other games that have had NO problem doing it. SF adds champ mode and other modes. Halo 3 had no problem, rewarding the people who bought the game with free maps. Red Dead Redemption gave us a taste with the CoOp pack.
I’m not saying make EVERYTHING free, but rewarding the people who bought the game with something small (but nice) doesn’t sound like it would break the developers
Finally got around to playing MP the other night. I’m terrible at this part of the game.
you just gotta learn the levels, and how to actually play the various classes
also keep in mind you’re playing classes that have their abilities unlocked, which is obviously an advantage for them
There’s a lot of factors you’re not considering, like whether or not the content was developed within the initial budget or not. And I don’t think Halo 3 gave away free content. Only Heroic ended up free, and all the maps ended up on ODST disc 2 - still paid.
Resources must be paid for if the content was made after the fact.
A lot of the free content is to dissuade piracy.
and Cold Storage, a gift to the fans
just sayin’…
Fuck the nerfed scrapmaker. Shit is totally worthless now. The spread is so fucking ridiculous that your target needs to be like 5 feet in front of you for any semblance of accuracy. The only way to make it usable is to make to the “sharpshooter” upgrade.
I’m now experimenting on other primary weapons. So far I’m liking the EMP shotgun with “heavy weapons” upgrade. It does huuuuugggeeee damage, and the 3-kill streak power lets you shoot it infinitely for a limited time. You fuck up so much shit–it’s awesome. You guys need to try it if you havent already.
yeah, I stopped using scrapmaker after they nerfed the SHIT out of it. It loses to EVERYTHING, even if you have fucking ammo beacon and warcry
i go with shotgun and neutron rifle to deal with jets
Aren’t you PC?
We haven’t got any patches yet…those are only console applicable atm.
PC is slated to get the patches/dlc sometime in the near future…unless you’re referring to console version.
Hmmm are you sure? I know PC didn’t get the recent DLC (characters and maps), but I thought it did get the patch changes which SoVi3t posted a few pages back. I remember my game updating via Steam not too long ago. As mentioned, I didn’t play the game at all during last month so I could be mistaken–but I definitely feel like the soldier’s scrapmaker has been changed since I last played. I’ll have to check on the other stuff in those notes to be sure im not imagining things lol.
EDIT:
I justed tested another one of the patch notes to be sure on the PC:
[Quote]
Scientist class:
Shockwave cooldown increased from 60 to 75 seconds
[/Quote]
Shockwave fully recharged at 75 seconds exactly, so we did get this update on the PC.
dunno how you got 75…
I just ran a private match to test, I shocked at 14:50 on the clock, and I had it back at 13:55, which is actually a difference of 55 seconds.
add to that tank glitch is still in, which was patched in 1st console update. I can also vouch for this as of today.
firmly believe we’re still 2 updates behind console. add to the fact that they don’t even know how to update wfc for pc, steam is just a retailer. they haven’t said by what means they are going to patch or dlc yet.
haha dude I just tested it again and I got a 75second recharge again. I hit it at 14:50 and it recharged at 13:35. What the hell lol.
You didnt happen to be running the recharge upgrade in your last slot?
I’m still believe opposite though–alot of stuff mentioned in the notes feels different to me this time around–the scout’s guns in vehicle mode seem more powerful; the scrapmaker stuff; leader’s nade launcher being buffed, etc.
I’m gonna test the scouts decoy trap recharge in a bit and see what’s up. That was changed from 60sec to 45sec.
EDIT:
Checked already–I got 45sec recharge for it, which is the patch value.
deep sigh Anyone with a ps3 want to add me? I’m trying to get to wave 15 of escalation decepticons preferably and I’m getting stuck with idiots. People with high points don’t want to chip in to open doors so I have to use ALL of my points to open the good areas. The people I played with tonight kept going off by themselves in rooms that weren’t safe in the decepticon map. I’m opening doors and kicking ass and getting some damned good weapons by myself and then they come running in to get good weapons. But behold! they run back to the open areas!
People are so stupid in this mode. If they run off and do their own thing, I don’t bother reviving them unless they are next to me. It teaches them to stay in a group. I had the one room open with the scrap maker and thermo mines. If my teammates stayed in the room with me they would of lived. But one idiot runs back and then the rest run after while I stay in the room myself since it’s safer there. So my Soundwave is kicking ass with sentry and barrier with the scrapmaker and thermo mines. And the photon burst rifle as my second weapon. When we were in wave 9 they all died side by side away from me. I let them die because I knew it was over for me anyway since I had every autobot and their mother after me.
I see the score and it showed how much they sucked. I had about 105 kills while the others had no higher than 47. So if anyone is good in escalation with a ps3 and want to help a brother out please send a friend request to Lord_Infamous. I call dibs on Soundwave though because he’s always been my favorite transformer.
Oh and scientist are too beast in this game. It’s the only class I use and get crazy kills with them.
i have never seen anybody get far in the Decepticon escalation. Only the Autobot one is ‘easy’ to get past level 15
Yeah, there’s a chance I could have had rapid recharge on, I didn’t actually check for it, but I don’t have it on 2/3 of my sci builds. I’ll try out a few other things tonight too, but I still have no idea how their patching this atm, since in the last podcast interview (last week) high moon had absolutely no idea as to how they were going to patch the pc ver.
The ending of the ‘Autobot seekers’ campaign is probably the most epic thing I played in months.
