The new change will be funny. It'll promote squad communication. It'll promote platoon communication. It'll promote faction-wide communication.

That communication will be "Quick! Zerg on me, now!"

The funny part will be walking away from the furball you created because you saw an opposing sundy or tank column whilst lone-wolf Sunday site-seeing on your way somewhere else. Or near a base. Who knows? Maybe you "thought" you saw the shimmer of one infiltrator cloak and decided that a 30 man heavy defense was required? Oh god this will be funny......

I think I've found my new two favourite vehicles.

It'll aid in quick rescues.  Now you just have to have one person in a Galaxy flying toward a cap about to flip, and everyone else can directly redeploy midair.

Made a new VS character on mattherson, been running around as a medic. I hot-dropped into a base under attack and killed 4 NC more or less by accident... one (engineer) of which was because I LANDED ON HIM. good times.

(The others.... 1 (heavy assault) I killed while firing wildly after being hit by a concussion grenade. Must have gotten a headshot. One was apparently so close to death that a single round in the foot as he went over a railing killed him (light assault). The last was an infiltrator who I ran over while leaving. I didn't even know he was there.)

Would love to get together with some of you gents.

Well, they wanted to bring gals back into the game, now they are. I wonder how many vids there'll be of C4 drops, pop bricks, empty mag, then re-deploy? And does C4 drop faster than you if you throw it downwards? LA's the new zephyr of choice?

All this and more if it makes it past the test server.

Do scythe run-downs work in mid-air? Could you just slowly accelerate from directly underneath towards the belly of a gal and lemming the deployees? It slices, it dices, it a goddamn scythe.

You mean something like this?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Although this was a last-ditch defense of Peris, emptied my magazines, C4'd a lightning, then continued with the beamer. Which is a really shitty gun, btw.

Hmmm, I have a personal challenge that I'm not allowed a new gun until I auraxiumed the previous one. I'll be stuck with the beamer for a long time.

Why does your game look like it was drawn in crayon?

Perversely, PS2 actually often runs better on high graphics settings than low ones (if your choke is your CPU, as it is for most people), because low settings shift a lot of the load from your GPU to CPU.

Oh. Well, even on integrated graphics i can comfortably run 25fps. I keep crashing though, so...

Argh I hate it when that happens. I lost a perfectly good max suit to a drop pod not so long ago. I like to think it was a br1 who made a stunning first time entrance at least.

You're probably in a different timezone, but I'm always up for some fun if happen to find yourself on Cobalt. Ingame name is Meliorist.
