The problem with that in the current system is that all hit registry is client side. If it's not loaded into your computer, you can't hit it.

Seriously? Doesn't that open them up to hacking pretty badly?

Hence the amount of hacking going on. At least they're monitoring the game, but there's a limit of how much they can spot.

TR here.  I'd say infantry is fairly well balanced.  However MBTs aren't nearly as balanced.  Prowler is just so much weaker than the NC and VS equivalent.  We get a situtational at best ability (anchor mode) and a weaker gun.  The prowler does have one redeeming factor.  The HE and HEAT main guns absolutely murder infantry.  There is zero reason to roll with an anti-personnel secondary on a prowler.
Vanguard is only really good against opponents that are foolish enough to keep firing at the front armor. Also fairly situational, but effective vs newbs who haven't figured it out yet.
I've got to say though vanguard is really nice if you have a large amount of tanks and you put them in phalanx formation. Side by side showing only front armor to the enemy, add front armor upgrade for added beefiness.

Been playing a bunch the last few days, managed to get the 100 cert Vanu sniper rifle.
Now just waiting for the Crown to get attacked tonight so I can actually use it.

The crown isn't under attack already? Strange. Ours is the biggest constant battle of all continents. And TR hold it most of the time. Hell, one time it was completely encircled by both NC and VS, with 60% VS and 40% NC showing on the map, yet it was still TR private property. Until TR got its shit together and reconquered the nearby territory.

I haven't really noticed much but I know other people in my outfit have. Is this the only way they can manage such large player counts?

I wish my flying skills were as 1337 as this guys :C
Same. I always like to pilot but still haven't got around to it much in PS2.

As someone who wants to become a 1337 Pilot, I will probably never fly again.

I responded similarly when I took out an attacking Reaver with a Liberator's 150.

This is delightful. I had a similar reaction myself recently on a super luck 'nade throw. Props to him for keeping his hand on the mouse, though, I just sat back and laughed for a while.

Every server on low but one, and I don't have a character on it. :( I suppose it keeps the queues away, at least.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.
