A smart sniper would shoot the medic first. But yeah, such a group can't be deterred, except by another similarly organised (in term of level of coordination) group. Say, four or so snipers, medic(s), engi. Lone snipers doesn't stand a chance, and judging by the general mentality of PS2 players, nobody gonna bother organize to take you down. Too much risk, too much effort, too little reward.

Last night when we tried this, we just had one burster and we got lolpodded a lot.  Thankfully, those can be taken out with a Phoenix round that they don't bother to dodge.

Just wondering, anyone here from the US willing to buy a Walmart Stationcash card (one with 500 bonus SC on a $15 card) and get paid back over paypal? I was hoping to pay in some SC over the 2x weekend, but grabbing 4k for $15 instead of £15 is a really tempting deal. There are people offering to sell them over Reddit, but I thought I'd ask here first.

I checked three Wal-Marts near me for one and couldn't find it.  I'm getting that Gamestop card with the NS-11A on it tomorrow, though.


Speaking of the NS-11A, has anyone tried the NS-11C?

God damn scatmaxes. Note to self: never attempt a biolab capture when the entire NC pop is there.

I think he was infantry. "scatmaxes" must refer to "scatter maxes", from the ulra-short range NC max weapon.

Counter-trick to Scythe rams:  Get your engy buddy to leave a turret right next to you.  It's as good as a concrete wall if the Scythe hits it.



Also, I hear GU06 has a shotgun revamp in the cards, including NC MAXes.

    Phoenix rocket effects will show at a longer range.
    Phoenix damage has been adjusted in the following way:
        Increased damage against all vehicles.
        Reduced damage against infantry.
    The Lancer has been adjusted in the following way:
        A bug preventing projectiles at charge levels 1 and 2 to not last as long as intended has been resolved.
        The cone of fire from scoped shots has been removed.


More Phoenix adjustments.  How many hits on MBTs/Sundies now?  Infantry?

Oh they're nerfing the NC MAXes already?

Damn, I've been one of the vocal minority saying just give TR/VS a MAX shotgun arm.

Although I believe level design to be the real player making shotguns a headache for everyone.

I was considering grabbing some Hacksaws this weekend, but I think I'll hold off.



Instead I'll just continue to Phoenix everything in sight and have a blast.  My only regret is no hate tells from VS/TR.  Sadface.



Also, saw a certfarm tip for the VS out there- Hit every vehicle you see with a one-charge Lancer shot to rake in assists left and right, since it's worth as much as a kill now.

well, in the crown there is a way to glitch into one of the walls, the barrels by control point B, if you run into them in the correct way you can get into that wall.  Saw a TR do it, and figured out how to after.

I saw a TR MAX run through a wall a couple nights ago.  It was in a tech plant (forget which one) and they ran out the vehicle bay wall to the outside.

No worries, scatmaxes are the easiest thing in the world to remember: When NC lose ground they pull scatmaxes and shit all over everything.  :P
