The team deathmatch districts are freakin awesome. Exactly what I wanted.

Log on, , log off.

I am already having trouble remembering the huge amount of fun I had playing there yesterday. Several hours of total poo poo now. Nothing but idiot team mates and a couple of really annoying hackers on the other team. That and the spawns are hosed up and keep dumping the entire team in the furthest corner of the map, which can easily be camped by snipers.

I think all the new players who found the game through steam are rolling crims, which is what I play on. I should dust off my enforcer.

Meis, I think you're correct. I don't think I lost a single mission on fight club and my longest streak I saw before server switches was 14 wins in a row. Sucks for newbs/vet crims. Funny as hell for enforcers.

So I never played this when it was originally released. Got it just now and been playing it for like 3 hours. loving love it. Running around in my underwear since I can't be bothered figuring out how to put on new clothes.

I'm Broski on the Patriot server. And I'm terrible at this game.

How do you change clothes? The game doesn't adequately explain how to do that and I have to log in to view the knowledge base, except I can't do that because the log in button is disabled.

To make/change outfits go to social district and use a purple wardrobe kiosk.

To change outfits in Waterfront/Financial go to an ammo vending machine and press I.

Steam login appears to be working now. Just did it with my account.


Haven't encountered anything that would be the definition of a memory leak but I'm 64-bit so it's never been an issue for me. Cheaters are still an issue but they have gotten way better about it, there's still an odd few who are bad at toggling and will try to shoot you through a wall before they turn the corner. Developers and in-game moderators seem to be a lot more active now and are actively handling cheaters.

Give it a try and join the clan!

Will do. Thanks for the heads up, probably was just my rig that was causing the memory leaks I suppose.

No, the NTEC is no longer a railgun. Base model weapons now stand a chance against modified weapons but the modifications still provide an upside. Nothing dumb or silly like Savage 3 though.

If you're just starting out I suggest using the OCA. Get in close to someone and put your cursor over their body. Extremely easy to do and very effective.

I'm not doing to bad with the starting rifle just played a couple co-op missions in financial I think and we won. No one else was using voice but they def heard me when I was saying stuff. I am an enforcer on Joker if anyone else want's to do epic poo poo.

I need to spend some time ironing out a good control scheme, but otherwise I'm really happy with this game! The customisation is every bit as good as I'd hoped, and I haven't really played anything quite like this, it's sort of like spontaneous games of tag or something.

It may be only people who created accounts after the game went F2P, i.e. a gamersfirst account. I fired it up, it patched, and it then integrated the game with steam.

e: It might just be me but there's something wrong with the Star 556. It's actually killing motherfuckers left and right. Oh, and how do I do things like increase my rank as Cop? I'm rank 41 something and I don't know what the gently caress it is, but it ain't Cop.

If you will not serve in combat, you will serve on the firing line!

Slightly annoying that I can't seem to link my gamerfirst account with my steam account as I switched over to using the client via steam instead and now it wants to try to log in via my steam account and failing every time I boot up the game.
Checking the forums it's supposed to work somehow but I can't seem to find an explanation on how to link them.

Edit: Oh nvm, now it worked for some reason. But now the steam overlay is bugging out.

Are you trying to log in to the game directly with your old account? Because that doesn't work.

If you go to my link it'll ask you to log in with your GamersFirst account, then you'll have to type in your old account info. After that you'll get the option to recover/migrate your old characters.

The Star does well depending on the operator so consider yourself an OK one.

For cop role, it increases with arrests for those who don't know.
To arrest you have to stun a crim and go up to them, click 'use' and then you cuff them. To stun you must use LTL (Less Than Lethal) weaps. They're listed under "crowd control" in the weapons menu. There's a few secondary LTL guns, too. I think after cop 4 you get stun grenades which are amazing.

It's a tremendous way to get rage quits, tears, and hackusations from your opposition. Here's a friends video:
