HAY U GUISE!  So I recently upgraded my graphics card, and I can run this game!  I also totally suck at this game.  Like literally 20 deaths to 1 kill, if that.  So I've relegated myself to vehicles and engineer, with MAX being count as a vehicle, because, let's be honest.

Pathetic certs, just getting the hang of flying, but willing to take up the 'poor' jobs of Galaxy pilot or especially Sunderer commander to help do base rushes or firing sweeps.

Anything going on?

My advice? Keep trying. Giving up on infantry is probably the worst mistake you could take. HA is really fun to play.

Also: What faction and what server?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I find LA funner, like being able to fly around and get to places that others don't think of looking. 
HA has rockets, which can be fun, specally if you get a headshot with it.

I think my K/D ratio is around 0.1 or so,  sometimes I get a good streak of kills while other times I just fail over and over.

I mostly run an Engineer build on my main character, not for any particular reason, just I've already dumped so many certs into him, I might as well keep going. Because of that Ive also put some certs into my Prowler, got the side armour, Speed boost, deploy, and the NVG scope for it.

I'm pretty terrible at FPS though.  I was decent at Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, but then I like, stopped.  Just, stopped being any good.  Even then, I was mostly sniper... or using light machineguns as sniper (FMJ + ACOG sight = 100 clip sniper rifle).  Plus while I did upgrade graphics, I didn't upgrade -that- much, and still get drag on interiors or highly populated areas, so many times when an enemy rounds a corner I stutter frames and can't aim for shit.

I'm really much more suited to vehicle play, and judging by many engagements there's a lot of use for vehicles.  There's always at least one Sunderer in any given warzone, and lines of tanks are always devestating, not to mention that a Sunderer with shield-pass sounds like it's ridiculously useful.  And then, any given aircraft with explosive weapons will rip through infantry...

NC faction, forget what server, but so noob it hardly matters.  Can make a new one no sweat.  Just like NC a lot for their build types...

Go on Mattherson if you have a decent connection. That's where most B12 NCers are. A sundie with shield-pass sounds usefull, but is basically useless without a squad, because you can't slap AMS on it. Another tip: try to get in a decent squad. If you're playing NC on Mattherson, mainly on Indar, look out for -MU- squads, I had some good experiences with these.

Boo NC! My guys are a TR on Matherson, and a VS on Miller, with the TR being my main. I'd say if your ping to europe is decent to go with Miller, the fights there are alot more intense, as Miller seems to have much higher pops than any of the US servers as of recently. To put it in perspective, Ive actually had to wait on line to get into Indar on Miller.

I just really can't enjoy TR. Haven't tried vanu, but I like NC best.

I enjoyed NC, but I like the Scythe far better than the Reaver. That was actually a good part of the reason why my VS secondary became my main.

Girlinhat, join VS Mattherson, we're easymode and can auto-headshot anyone at 500 meters with our aimbotted hitscan weapons, and if that doesn't work you can win with 1:20 odds in the massively OP Magrider, which is capable of self-sustained flight as well as climbing the stairway to heaven.  :P


I might start playing my Mattherson NC a bit if we've regularly got a squad together, because the one thing I dislike is having to go with zergs for large-scale action.

Well I've only got one character, and I think as soon as I hopped on there was only one US East server, so it's probably that one.  I can delete/make new to accommodate new servers.  I'll try Miller, I s'pose.

I hate Magriders...  Those things just annoy me.  Tanks.  That strafe.  Apparently it's a running NC joke - "VS Battle tactics: Magrider gets destroyed -> log out."  Although apparently VS has some sort of anti-armor rifle or something.  At least I think it is.  When I'm tanking around the Crown, it's always VS on the other side of the bridge, and I get a solid WHAM to the hull and take damage.  There's no tracer lines or anything, so I have no idea what's going on, but apparently they've got like 50 cal pounding rifles or something...

Also yeah, zerg rushes rarely work for anything.  Would love to get in some organized play!

Apparently I'm downloading a "small patch" at 5GB.  So I'll be on... eventually?
