I'm looking for a blue hardsuit camo. I have a spare tactical SMG and a burstfire SMG.

I really love siege but man does it need more than 1 map.

On defense a team mate and I had the tank perma-blown-up and then we lost that round apparently? This is just a total shot in the dark from a SCRUB but maybe their tank got farther than your tank?

It seems to work similar to TF2's payload stopwatch format. I try to avoid Seige though since it's kinda weird in general with how it plays. I like my TDM.

The only fun part of siege is opening the gates since you're hectically trying to finish hacking while chaos is all around you.

If neither team gets the tank to the finish line (or if both teams do) the team with the highest total score wins. Since every gate gives, IIRC, +500 points to each player in the attacking team, this usually means the team who passed the most gates wins, as one would expect. However, if a team gets beaten on gates they might still grab a win by gaining a huge score advantage through kills etc. This is pretty rare though because if your average player is ~5 kills ahead of the average opponent, you're almost certainly doing better with the tank as well. IMO, TF2's system where you just have to beat the previous team's distance (i.e. get 1 gate farther) would probably be better. The current system just means that a stomp match gets dragged on unnecessarily.

It got a lot of advertising when they launched the two big content updates, it was front page on steam for like a month both times. They could do real advertising though, the ps4 version should help a bunch too.

I never saw those. One thing I'd really like to see is a cleaning up of the interface. It looks cool but it isn't intuitive to use at all and I know it certainly put me off when I first started playing.

There I am, with my stupid helmet I got from a chance pack, and the yellow gun camo that I bought for no apparent reason *sigh* I think all members of GOON should be required to buy Orange Tiger camo, though. That could be, like, our thing.

Not to bitch too much but anyone else have more ideas about my bizarre performance? I was playing today with ONLY shadows/lights on and med textures and it was still doing horrible hitching. Turning them off MOSTLY fixed it but it still poo poo the bed every so often, despite running 40+ constantly.

XCOM runs decently (granted it's not a shooter), Dishonored, Arkham City, Painkiller HD, RO2, all run pretty well (40+) with most of the bells and whistles turned on. NONE of them do the same weird stuttering thing either, if they gently caress up it's just low framerates.

Mine runs like rear end too, unless I have it on medium everything in DX9 mode. I can sorta do textures on high, but that makes larger maps still terrible. Zombie really hosed up optimization or something, because no other UE3 game runs this badly except maybe Alpha Protocol.

Do you use MSI afterburner or any other decent GPU management app? Most log your GPU usage, see if you have any massive drops. Could be your GPU downthrottling.

I started having that problem for a while, until I realized that I moved my laptop onto something that didn't disperse the heat coming from the video card very well, effectively overheating it. That might be something worth looking into. e: removed criticism of Zombie programming because it detracted from the point I was making.

That might be something worth looking into. I have DX11 turned off. I have EVERYTHING off, except textures to medium. It STILL stutters a small amount, especially on larger maps (containment) or one quick motion on those larger maps (swinging around a corner and full-auto'ing some dude).

I like using the premades to try out some of the fancier receivers that I haven't unlocked or don't want to spend zen on. I always liked the LMG-R because it felt like a HAR with more recoil and a bigger mag. Maddot_66 posted:I got a perm AK out of one yesterday. Its so dumb that it auto activates, but I guess they don't want the market flooded with perm guns. It should at least take perm stuff you have off the loot table or something.

Yeah, I haven't updated in a few months. I doubt it will do anything but there's a slim chance it actually might. nVidia drivers have routinely been loving WEIRD for me in the past. My very first mission chance gave me a perm premade smg and I'm enjoying the gently caress out of it on tighter maps. All others have hosed me.

It seems no matter how much GP I earn I always find crap to waste it on. I’m currently trying to perm the two new barrels, save up for the M4X when the receiver is GP permable, and I want to burn it on chance packs to get more pilot camo.
