I'm on Matherson NC fighting for freedom with Higby's Heroes.  I'd advise getting in a group with voicechat and not caring about unlocks.  Fighter rocket pods and the AT liberator gun are the only currently imbalanced ones (and are only imbalanced in that the default equips are underpowered).

If you treat it as a game about leveling up and getting loot like WoW you'll be bored out of your mind.  If you treat it as a game about fighting an internet war against aliens and space Nazis and killing internet mans with your internet bros you'll have a good time.  In the end, there's nothing more OP than numbers and coordination.

\/\/\/ Yeah it's open to all players, but they haven't posted the PS2 forum thread and the OP is behind the paywall right now.  Get yourself in mumble (with your character name) at
psgoons1.murmur.nfoservers.com
 6910
You'll find a channel for waiting for outfit invites.  The only rules are no whining and that newbies shouldn't give orders.  PS2 accepts alt + tabbing so you can use that to manage mumble.

The thread title should really be changed, now that the game's been out for several days.

I'm getting on in a few minutes. See if my computer can handle it yet.

Bizzlord is nowhere to be seen, sadly.

E: And i'll try to join Higby's Heroes. I'm craving for some organized assault now. I've mainly been running around armor columns reviving people.

E2: Do you need a Something Awful account for Highby's Heroes?

They changed the config files around so that AA is enforced (for now). Until I can remove AA, I'm not going to play an FPS with 15fps :( Sorry guys. If you set up an EU outfit I'll be glad to join eventually, when I can run this.

Yeah but the instant they allow it people will figure out how to make 'transparent' skins and be invisible.

Okay turns out I can't play it. It runs, but my framerate is nearly non-existent in any sort of combat zone. So fuck. I belive it is Anti-Aliasing

Ikanam Bio Lab... By the gods, it's painful to capture.

VS, TR, and the NC deadlocked for I don't know how long. Teleport rooms were horrendous deathtrap bottlenecks, with defenders whore-camping every exit. Bottom level were swarming with tanks being churned out on a neverending assembly line. The skies were filled with fighters, liberators and galaxies, all eager to swoop down and murder you and the only practical way inside left was by the aircraft platforms. Those too were on the verge of becoming bottleneck deathtraps but luckily they were not as cramped. Soon the NC starting loosing territory because all attention and manpower was funneled into the deathmachine Bio Lab, culminating in fewer available resources for the NC. Their defenses broke, generators were blown to hell and back and finally the NC surrendered the Bio lab to the VS.

And that was when the TR decided to kick down the door and move in.

They too had noticed the VS's victory hinged upon resource control, so they had been sneakingly stealing a few territories from the VS. And so, the chaos ensued, deaths were ground to a pulp and defecated upon and the raging inferno still burns.

Didn't help that the VS were underpopulated at 28% on that continent. (Which seems to be a common theme every time I log in...  :-\)

I got to play properly for the first time. I like this game. Huge battles are very fun.

How does one get grenades? Do certain classes spawn with them? I thought I had them as a Heavy, but then I didn't.

When you go to customize your loadout you can buy grenades with infantry resource points.  The pool is shared between all classes.
