Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
This should basically be in the OP concerning new players and soldiers; Don't take concussive shot. Ever.

Successful Bronze extract = +1 N7 Rank
Successful Silver extract = +2 N7 Rank
Successful Gold extract = +4 N7 Rank
Successful Platinum extract +8 N7 Rank

For >Bronze, halve it for partial extractions.

That would make N7 ranks mean something, and actually motivate people to put in more than a token effort after Wave 10 payout.

At the same time, I'd also give each race/class combo an individual level, instead of spreading it out across the entire class.

ew no that would make me even more reluctant to promote than I am already

Oh, I meant that promotion would only affect that class/race combo and do nothing but reset that combo. I wouldn't up your N7 score or anything. Regardless, even your idea on it's own would make the leader boards actually mean something.

I am currently in a platinum game, wave 10, and we need to recover objects. But we can't do this, because the first object spawned in the middle of air, hovering half a meter above the ground and we can't pick it up.

:ughh:

I'm surprised to see people drawing parallels between the Typhoon nerfs and Piranha. The Typhoon was only really overpowered on just one class combo; the destroyer. It was a still a great assault rifle in other hands, but it didn't completely eclipse every other assault rifle.

The Piranha however, has nearly completely replaced not just every other shotgun, but also every other gun. In almost every game I play, I see nearly everyone use it. It's so drat good regardless of which class combo. And on classes like the soldier, it goes from great to ludicrous.

Or just halve the accuracy so that a smart choke is required to get to a non-choked accuracy value now. Still great for Destroyers and (unless they increase the weight) Furies, not so great for other people.

I think if they did that, the base accuracy of the gun would encompass your entire screen. :haw:

Half blast nova actually does make you literally invincible as long as you take care not to get staggered which is highly avoidable. If you're trying to get the most out of human vanguard then you absolutely should take it as it's quite game breaking, although obviously it also makes it quite a shallow class. It looks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MIzrBSCfF0, note the turret firing full blast and doing 0 damage, no other character has quite that level of invincibility obviously.

These days there are faster and more reliable ways to beat matches without too much effort, but this was a big deal in the demo...

Even the turret doesn't know anymore what the fucks going on.

Spamming the quick play button until I get into a game in progress is my way to level my low level chars (lvl +10). I most of the time even manage to top ranking anyway, so I feel no shame doing it.

After taking a break for a month or two, I started this game's mp up again. Why does this keep being so much fun? drat you game, I have work to! :arghfist:

Immediate changes I've noticed is that a lot of people have pretty pictures, I take it I get my own pretty picture by completing challenges? Also, where's the menu to set my pretty picture when I finally get one?

I haven't played in ages and just played Firebase Ghost again. Holy poo poo, they turned the most boring and dull map into the most beautiful thing I've seen in this game and many other games.

I just want to keep playing it and stare at the rain all day. :psyduck:

Half a year later and I still dislike the N7 Destroyer when compared to the bog standard human soldier. I just love adrenaline rush for a quick reload and shield regen along with extra flexibility over the extra shootstuff the Destroyer gets. Am I insane?

I'm quietly hoping that the Lancer Assault rifle is a good version of the M8 avenger. You know, like a Harrier with 60 rounds of ammo without an ammo upgrade. :shepface:
