I think it serves as a somewhat interesting retrospective on where Retribution draws a lot of it's ideas and concepts from. Is it just me or does this game look better than retribution?

You can get the same rewards from different Mission Rewards right? Rewards list for like the 30 gold tokens one is the same as the die 10 times one?

Yeah, the mission pack is basically a chance pack, I think. Also I found a new toy. I had no idea the BFSMG was so great. I didn't know the recoil only kicked in after the burst.

There are totally worse ways to spend half an hour. The new GitS re-release is extra pretty, and I have re-watched it just after playing this game. I'm surprised there isn't a Knight Sabers clan of hardsuit pilots.

Yeah, I mean at least they are addressing the issue. If this were, like, EA, we'd be lucky to get some corpspeak bullshit about "we are realigning our strategic player inclusion methodology to better provide new contentification through our monetization policy to you, the gamer, who craves the excitement that only EA games delivers!"

At first I was puzzled at being unable to rent receivers at all, but then I remembered that even on my no-perm US alt I never rented any receivers for the last few weeks, because I'd just get them from the mission chance packs. So I think this may work better than expected. Also I'm genuinely surprised that they're making all guns GP-permable. I'd say I'll miss the "P2W!!!11!!" pub tears if I thoughts facts would stop them  Lima posted:It seems like the final change made all the twitter heroes and youtube darlings quit.

I don't know if there's a difference between the 32-bit and the 64-bit options of DxDiag but it gave me the option to run both so I did. 32-bit DxOrthog 64-bit DxOrthog One thing you'll note: I'm a GIANT STUPID IDIOT and I told you the wrong card.

On the other hand, what this means in practice is that completely new players will have *two* guns to play with--the basic AR, and whatever the free gun is this week. Hopefully Zombie/PWE develops an extremely simple "CUSTOMIZE LIKE THIS" video that new players will be required to watch, so that they understand what they're supposed to do.

I think I like the BFSMG precisely because I can put a max damage muzzle, extended mags, and a sight on it and be done with customizing. Saves GP on buying parts. It currently does 47 damage a round which is nice. I don't have the barrels to drop it down to 45 damage for increased stats at the moment, and I could slap the Daylight tag on it instead of the Astro Icon Tag which increases the damage by one somehow, but that would only get me 0.01 degrees improvement on the spread while moving so that's probably not worth it. Edit: VVV Oh. I'm wearing the Hunter for the increased HRV. That would get me to 210 hp. Worth it, then? Artificer fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Apr 20, 2013 |

If you don't need any other tag on your gun, use a health tag. Among the available tag bonuses, the couple of HP are the most likely to be relevant.

I am in love with the burst-fire rifle and spent all of my newbie scrub money on this frame first off. My current setup is basically minimize aim spread without messing up my damage too much. I rarely aim down the sights unless I'm not getting shot at and I use it in close to medium range combat just blasting away at people's faces while juking like crazy. If I don't one-burst face murder people, I usually finish them off with the second and then finish off their team mate, and then kill their other team mate. I love it. Extended magazine is great. Any suggestions as far as using this? Am I doing it wrong? I generally have at least 2:1 kdr and top the charts a lot.

I am a smear on the name of GOON.  Edit: I unlocked HRV Blackout today. Will go for HE grenades next. Can't use all the stuff at the same time though. I don't have the higher end armor anyways and so I'll be sticking to my 210 hp Hunter helmet/standard/standard/+hp tag for my build.

Here's my first weapon screenshot! This is not a gun. This is the box a gun came in. Does pretty well for short-range maps, though. (Normally I run it with a Magnum magazine, but I had the explosive and I was feeling bored.)

My GP strategy when I was levelling up my EU character: Prioritise acquiring universally useful items over specialised ones, combine multiple level-up Trial Packs to get the most value out of their contents, carefully estimate the time required to perm a new item and plan accordingly how best to rent it in the meanwhile. My GP strategy when levelling up my US character: gently caress IT THE NEXT GRENDEL PACK IS THE WINNER I CAN FEEL IT

People absolutely cannot stand being killed by the AK. There's such stigma, even though it's worse than the AR.

Hey, can someone explain siege mode to me? I'm pretty sure the immediate game ending notice of, "YOU LOST SCRUB" is bugged in one way or another. On defense a team mate and I had the tank perma-blown-up and then we lost that round apparently? Still rocking the gently caress out of my 58 damage burst rifle with pinpoint hip-fire accuracy assuming you slow down your juking for half a second or crouch. Nothing better than snap shotting all three rounds into someone's face as you come around a corner.
