This will always be the case, if they made it so Medics had the weakest guns then it would upset the competitive side of gaming, and that is the last thing anyone wants to do =) =)

Play Titan maps moving Titan helps.

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

yup, nothing has changed, people complaining that is. :p

i do understand most of your complaints, but not #2. it's not like lambert was an awesome gun and they nerfed it, so why are you complaining it's nerfed? it was never supposed to be a great gun, just for recon who are going to fight up close, kinda like SMGs and engineers.

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

I remember it actually having some damage capability though. Now if you go one on one with anyone using another gun you will lose purely coz they do more damage, and thats even with basic guns! With Recon you either got camping boring easy sniper play or a useless gun! :P Give me back my unlocks! :P

Repairing Titan Guns only works if people are actually killing them, if no one is bothering to take them out, theres nothing to repair! And also how boring a game do you want, just standing there repairing guns? :P

Upset the competitive side of gaming? Roughly translated, annoy the noobs, better the game, upset the noobs! :P

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

Point by point...

(1) Actually the support kit is the best for point harvesting. I don't use it all that often because of the gun thing that you rightly point out, but as for points, just run around holding a supply hub and watch them climb!

(2) The Lambert is accurate with a high rate of fire. Just don't attempt to get range kills with it.

(3) True, except on titans when the enemy keep hammering the lower guns.

(4) Sadly that one is simply correct.

(5) Well, some server admin are happy to let their own servers become a joke by allowing players who do little besides bunnyhop with RDX for the whole round. I was at a friend's house a few weeks ago, and he joined the Timeless Camp Gib server to see their own admin doing the RDX bunny thing (probably all macroed up to the nines).
:shakehead:

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

Thats exactly it! My experience was a Timeless Titan Suez Canal server and the admin themselves were doing it and not giving a dam. They even kicked some guy for pointing it out to other people. It's like been prosecuted for being kind!

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

Uhm... rdx bunny hopping has never been against the EA RoE, and as such is a perfectly acceptable mode of play, no matter how much you, I, or any other player may lament it. So it's neither here nor there that their admin do it and/or encourage it.

If anything, I would comment that their servers have seen it falling into decline compared to a year or so ago, when the tops of the titans would literally become a minefield. Don't like the style of play, find a different server, it's that simple ^^ - and there are PLENTY of FF-off servers that kick/ban for RDX hopping, so it's not like you're short on choice.

Also, on the medic note, sure it's the most efficient class for killing in the game, but somehow a large portion of the players haven't cottoned onto that and I generally see servers with no more than 50% medics on. Only 10% of whom know what a defib is. Add onto that the fact that you still need some SKILL to get kills with medic, and it's less of a problem since plenty still can't hit a barn door with a banjo. And the lambert? Sod that, pick up a sniper rifle and go no-scope!

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

i found something that hasnt changed either, not dieing russians-.-, played vs plant.es, all my bullets flew through them, full clip in someone, switch to herzog, unload it in them, and they had about 50 hp left. how are you supposed to win vs them in a clanmatch(esl summer 3c3 cup). nothing to say we lost without a single kill because we couldnt kill them. time enough to run for cover.

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

1] Assault medic kit CAN be very powerful in the right hands. But in the hands of those that SPAM the Voss 40 clip, then it's a waste. But I do agree PK rocket/Herzog are very useful weapons. [Please don't go into PK VS Herzog arguments]

2]Lambert is a bait gun; place two APM around you, fire 2 shots to get their attention and watch their feet get blown off. Recon doesn't need a very powerful weapon, RDX is sufficient enough to carry out the task. In real warfare, Special forces do not carry MACHINE GUNS! They carry carbines and sub-machine guns for utility! Lambert offers that. But I still suck as Recon.

3] Moving titan server on a 48/48 scale. Fix titan guns, then fix the APCs and Tanks.

4] Too True...Harder to spot too.

5] Depends on server and the clan that owns them. For example, [RAGE]® set FF at 50% so people can't bunny hop without losing a limb themselves. Go on FF ON servers.

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

The smoke grenade is useful, I always use that to cover a flag or try and flee a vehicle.

Perfectly legal within the RoE; yes.

Perfectly acceptable; not on your nelly.

putting smoke grenades on top of something you want to cover is useless, it only attracts attention to you. people trow grenades (like they never spam them-.-) and you are still owned, whilst you could have at least neutralised the flag before most people noticed. place the grenades between you and your enemies and it gives you some cover, but you need to place it right else it is worthless.

**TrooperJac** · 08-02-2009, 02:20 PM

Re: Nothing's changed it seems!

Yep - smoke grenades are pretty much useless other than as a distraction. Enemies tend to look at the smoke so if you throw one away from your position it can draw people to it. The radar grenade can be useful for hiding in the smoke whilst being aware of incoming threats.

Something like flash bangs would be cool but you'd have to have some kind of warning for your team, so they could avoid looking at the flash. Although I suppose EMP grenades do the same job.

Then play on a server that bans RDX hopping, not whine about it here.
