I heard the TR and Vanu sniper rifles cant OSK with a headshot?
can anyone confirm that?

Their guns are semi-automatic. NC is the only one to start out with the Bolt-Action rifles, which are the only 1-hit headshot rifles in the game (Despite the misleading damage numbers on the Scout Rifles).

God damn, I had a (friendly) Sunderer ram my Vanguard off a cliff. Those things have some serious momentum once they get moving!

The Medic's also good for easy XP, if there aren't many damaged vehicles/generators/turrets/MAXes in the area. Find a dead guy, revive him for 75 EXP, then heal him to full health for another ~40. It's like getting a kill, except your target isn't hiding behind a rock 50 metres away. And shooting back.  ;)

Yeah, the Sunderer's momentum is amazing. Sure he can't kill any heavy vehicles (without serious patience) but I'll be damned if they're going to stop me from going where I want to go. It needs a horn though. BEEP BEEP!

The issue with being a medic is the fact that the person who died probably died fairly recently, and whatever killed him isn't probably going to just magically poof into thin air, and while you still have the medic gun out you can't exactly shoot back.

I was riding a flash on the ice map, and saw an enemy on another flash coming the other way.

somehow i took no damage when i rammed and killed him :p

also i love infiltrators so much. if you always headshot they have no clue where you are, so you can get very decent kill streaks with little to no effort if your positioning is good

FUCKING PLANES. AUGH. I seem to be cursed, because every time I spawn one, it either is knocked over by another plane, destroyed outright, of FALLS THROUGH THE GODDAMN MAP.

I've never managed that, though I've nudged a few lightnings to freedom with my Vanguard... Should start a towing buisness

I'm generally too careful a vehicle driver to get myself caught somewhere dangerous, unless I'm on a flash in which case I'll ride it off the edge of a cliff to get to the bottom faster.

Haha. I remember back in beta when they gave everyone a crazy amount of certs, I instantly bought every speed upgrade for the Flash in addition to the afterburner, and tried to do a dukes of Hazard off the side of the Crown. Landed safely infront of a very confused enemy Vanguard.

I don't see anything in the OP about clan name and don't know which of the 300 pages to look in.  Anybody want to tell me what the bay12 clan is named?  I just dl'd the game.

Welp. I suck. I was on Soltek and I finally got in a scythe. I spend the next couple of minutes flying about the NC warpgate, feeling stupid for not setting a waypoint. After taking some damage from a failed attempt to dogfight, I crash landed in a TR checkpoint. No one was there, so I spend the next ten minutes figuring out how to cap a point. I finally realise, oh, maybe the territory needs to be connected to mine. Que an NC light assault storming in a murdering me. Facepalm.

Well this game was pretty frustrating to try.  I got buried in a metric buttload of lag whenever there were enemies around.

Capturing goes a lot quicker the more territory you have connected. Capturing a point completely in enemy territory is difficult but entirely possible.

I don't think there is one currently.
