1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

The other factions can hear you when you /yell.

[SeaBee]

Code: [Select]

/yell  is everyone in the region (including other factions)
/l     is local chat
/re    is region chat for your team only (not enough people use this)
/sq    is squad chat
/os    is outift chat (I think)
/t     is for sending tells
/r     is reply

[Darkening Kaos]

I think /re is bugged, unless they fixed it in the last patch.

[Jelle]

I've been playing this a bit, and I can't decide wich faction suits me best. Terrans aren't my cup of tea but I'm torn between either vanu or conglomerate.

I'm mostly into aerial combat, dogfights and stuff so I've been playing engineer a lot. Also long range combat and sabotage so I've played a fair bit of infiltrator.

So far I really like the punch the conglomerate guns pack but I detest the whole space cowboy theme, especially the bits of faction thematic musics.
I really like the vanu theme but I'm not sure I see the use of guns with no bullet drop. They don't seem to do much dmg long range wich is a problem for me.

Suggest me a course of action! Factions to specific weapon configurations, this noob needs some advice.

[sluissa]

also, I'm pretty sure that /sq initiates the squad commands (eg. invite) while /s is the actual squad chat

[Cthulhu]

I thought the NC style was cool, but the low accuracy made them unplayable for me.

I like TR guns better.

Sometimes, though, this game kind of feels like "Which team has the most people online?  Okay, it's your turn to win every fight"

[Silfurdreki]

I really like the visual style of the NC, but their music and (shallow) backstory are pretty meh. On the other hand, I like the backstory of the VS, but I don't care at all for their visual style. In the end I went with NC, backed a bit by the fact that they are the underdog in terms of numbers and. I usually prefer high-damage high-recoil guns as well, so that also helped.

And they seem to have all the good outfits.
I was playing TR, but then i changed my mind because i heard a nice NC guy talk about his outfit.
I just want some teamwork ;_;

[Thexor]

Tip: there's nothing special about the teamwork/players on each faction. All the factions are composed of stereotypical online gamers; the only difference between them is which of the multicoloured buttons they randomly selected when first joining the game. 


The only way to get good teamwork is to find an outfit. Most people don't care about working together; they just want something to shoot at. Find a large outfit (so there'll always be a few squads worth of people online) if you want people working together. And trust me, it's worth it; some of the squad-level tactics are amazing. You finally get a use for the Sunderer base-shield-penetration ability!

[miauw62]

Oh, i already found one. The guy said he'd invite me (after i switched and PM'd him.) but i think he forgot and eventually went offline. The faction's called The Ascended and from what i heard, they are pretty big.
(And the shield-penetration must be awesome if you got your sundie loaded up with MAXes and whatever sundie gun is most effective against vehicles.)

I am also in the Ascended. See you around!

Good to know we've got allies in the fight to liberate Mattherson.  As for the anti-shield, I always figured it was highly situational compared to the AMS.  The guns on the sunderbus are more about deterrence than combat and ability to park outside a base and let out an unending stream of units is invaluable.

[TheBronzePickle]

The guns are perfectly capable of combat if you're desperate. I've seen Sundies take out tanks.

Was that in Beta? Because with one DEFAULT sundie gun i took out half a tank's health. It was just me and the driver, btw.

[TheBronzePickle]

It was definitely in Beta, Sundies were ridiculous back then. I don't know if they've been nerfed at all, but I've seen them hold their own post-launch as well. A fully-crewed Sundie can take on an MBT.
