^ Speaking of him; I spotted him and some other goons (Ziggy comes to mind) when I did a solo quick match the other day. My team was getting stomped for a good while, like right out the gates we were stuck on our base, I'm surprised we made that comeback. Also, Ziggy is probably the scariest veteran I've run into.

Lucinice posted:Doesn't he use sniper lines for some things? He did when i played him before the patch yesterday. Actually getting the actor is only one factor; I don't know what Uber's audio recording process is like, but if they need to rent a studio, it could be that they simply missed some lines first recording and didn't get studio time for it yet. It's also possible that they simply haven't had time for the guy to sit down with the audio director and read off some lines. Proper voiceovers are actually pretty time-consuming- you can't just sit a guy down with a mic, say "read this stuff," and be done in five minutes.

They have a TON of stuff that gets left on the cutting room floor. Right now Wascot is mostly using Bullseye responses along with a few Sniper lines. Speaking of Bullseye, I accidentally grappled him for the first time in Super MNC. He doesn't punish you anymore, but instead just gives your character a high-five.

He definitely high-fives Combat Girl(it's the high-five animation from the MNC loadscreens with Pit Girl I think), but knocks around some of the other Pros.

I hate trying to play quick play when the goons are asleep. Getting matched up with a team where the gunner drops within the first minute of the match and a veteran who does nothing but feed, it just really ruin the experience.

That's interesting, I've only grappled him accidentally as Vet trying to Freight Train somebody and he belly bumped me, did no damage.

Scariest thing in this game so far is when you're pushing a lane and all of a sudden you hear some weird devil-bird scream and you're violently yanked into a cluster of turrets and bots and they're all shooting at you -- theres a fat man also and he makes you smell the seat of a chair and if that wasnt bad enough he starts to jump on you.

The best thing as a Vet is Clawing someone from half a map away next to your Rockit turrets, hearing their Tarzan scream, then obliterating them. I always remember to taunt when this happens. "I like!" *clack*

Thrill Cosby posted:Agreed. I need to stop playing defenders and grind out some vet sessions so I can learn to aim the damned claw. I was hooked (HA!) after just a few rounds. There are a few places on each of the maps where you can almost always get a pull as soon as you see someone. Spunky is the dead center, usually someone will be dumb enough to stand right there and let me pull them either across the center or down to the annihilator. Loco Moco Ruins it depends on what side you're on but if you're heading towards your right side, someone will pop in between the wall and the cylindrical section for the jump pad, perfect for grabbing. For Bullet Gorge I usually head to the left bridge and shoot for the area near their turret/Bounce/Pushbot spawn (their leftside). I'm surprised I've learned even that much, but a lot of this stuff becomes predictable after a short while.

Sorry if this has been covered, but I'm confused. Is this an entirely new sequel to MNC, or a major update? Will it be on Steam and 360, or just on Steam - and if it is on 360, will it be free to play there too?

The current game mode (Only one available with more soon to come out) is a dota like. It's already on steam as invite only into closed beta. No clue on the 360 however. Features over MNC: -More pros -Fixing a lot of balance problems -One patch a week -Some other stuff, I don't know, I only played like 10 hours of MNC e: Guess it's not for the 360.

Besides the 360 having no way to do free-to-play games, Uber disliked the slow patching process on the 360.

Good, now all we need is some very...sensual lines between Megabeth and combat girl. Also: From this point on, I'm referring to Megabeth as rocket girl. Megabeth is a terrible name and is quite hard to remember mid fight.

Kreczor posted:Note: Apparently support is the class, defender is the pro, or some variation of that. Little inverted there, but hey, I say inverses are close! ...that's what I say... But, yeah, in my experience tons of people call that whole class "support" instead of referring to them as defenders. It makes sense and people are used to it from MNC. I know they're called defenders but I don't care and usually say support anyway, everyone knows what you mean if you say "a team needs to have at least one support in it". Sometimes you hear strikers being called "assaults", too. I imagine once we get 3-4 pros of each type that kind of stuff will start to changed; then again, 'support' is just quite a bit easier to say than 'defender' so who knows.

They probably should have given the old pros proper names. It's just a bit of weirdness since the original MNC didn't have categories or classes.

Dunno, some of the new classes still fit with the old naming scheme like Veteran and Gunslinger. Then we have Karl, Cheston, and Megabeth (and ohters). Probably half and half on the naming scheme.

Not something I considered but it sounds pretty sweet! I'm kinda hoping they miscode it so he talks over himself the entire game. If I didn't privately think Mickey's voice actor wasn't a random bum they picked off the streets, he would make a great starcraft caster.
