    Your biggest video game dissapointment?

    Personally, I prefer vastly improved combat over companion armour aesthetics (although it'd be nice to have both, admittedly). As for classes, Dragon Age: Origins wasn't particularly great either, with the added inconvenience of rogues/warriors sucking absolute ass compared to mages. It would be...

    Your biggest video game dissapointment?

    Legions. In all seriousness: I disagree with Dragon Age 2 being disappointing, especially with respect to its predecessor. The combat was most certainly not dumbed down by improving input/reaction response time. That particular change was a boon to those of us who play without pausing (on...

    Tribes Ascend announced.

    He means "slow and floaty". Jests (?) aside, currently-available information is scant. The video seemed cut to hide movement mechanics and actual combat, so we can't ascertain anything. Conclusions beyond "I like the art style" are mere speculation. That goes double for pricing plans...

    Big Fat Weapon Update on Public Test

    The weapons are well-balanced and interesting. They're not 1-2 years well-balanced and interesting, but nevertheless, they're decent additions. A few quick points: 1) The plasma cannon is currently useless. I'd suggest removing or drastically reducing the overheat. And before you declare it...

    Colleges

    Very much what Lanthus said. If you're interested in a specific career, spend as much time researching industry requirements as you do colleges. Undergraduate degrees are a dime a dozen these days, so unless you're planning on taking engineering or nursing, you'll not be guaranteed a job upon...

    Ah, Ucan . . . caught between a rock and a hard place. Three guesses as to what the hard place is! If it's of any consolation, Dacil, Ucan was quite perturbed.

    Omniscient Gaming

    Condescending jerk-offs? Occasionally, but typically toward those who deserve it. Hater gamer/person? I suppose if you find yourself on the receiving end of our debates/playing, you might interpret us as such. Ignorant, though? That's rich, especially considering the source. Regardless, the...

    The Sniper Thread

    I can't imagine the skybolt's not being used “nearly as much”, especially with all the feedback that's been posted. As for the sniper loadouts, for most people a CG or Nade launcher won't be as effective. The ability to nade jump is definitely a boost, but most people are better with rockets...

    The Sniper Thread

    More than welcome. With respect to your second paragraph: No, you've misunderstood. I'm not permitted to act with impunity: I'm merely able to post contentiously/aggressively/plainly on these forums, for the provided reasons. And nowhere did I mention in-game behaviour, although mine is mostly...

    The Sniper Thread

    Couple quick confounds: 1) You can't attribute overpowered status to the Hornet because of its current popularity - not yet, anyway. Additions and changes prompt players to alter their playstyles (often temporarily) while they assess any rebalancing. People playing a lot of Gorge, for example...

    Need a new Headset.

    Goddamnit Ukkan. You did not just convince someone else to buy the corded version of the G930. Arma, cancel your order and buy this: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/internet-headsets-phones/devices/7248 It's wireless (lasts for a good 10 hours) and can become wired by...

    The Sniper Thread

    I'm a *dancing* paragon of respectful posting, you dumbass. That being said, "they" often attempt to moderate me - I am a proud member of the discouraged users list, after all - and are usually stayed by only a) my sway, b) Omni members and associates within the "hierarchy", c) Seymour trying to...

    An interesting assessment; and I suppose you'd be the expert.

    Elegiac and Skybolt Updates

    Just FYI: The poster's stating that the splash reduction was introduced to make the SB more like a railgun. He's not stating that they're making changes in anticipation of adding a railgun. What probably happened is that they tested a hitscan railgun and found that it raped slow, floaty...

    New hand grenades, the Skybolt and more

    I considered that point as I was writing my post, but eventually discarded it. The reason? As the hornet's retrieving the flag (or moving into shooting position), he/she isn't firing at other enemies. With any other class, that wouldn't matter, but with the sniper, it's significant. A base...

    New hand grenades, the Skybolt and more

    Actually, you did. At best, you can claim a lack of clarity on your part. Notice that you and Gheist were very specific re. the specialist weapons. You went so far as to reply “exactly” to Gheist's “or better, he sees the SB as a RLII replacement, and asks if something similar will happen in...

    New hand grenades, the Skybolt and more

    That's an interesting interpretation, but I'd say “no” because adding new weapons isn't contingent on removing existing ones. Also: So, “no” then. They were definitely arguing as per my interpretation. I agree that hornets could be very effective, but I disagree that they'd be as...

    New hand grenades, the Skybolt and more

    Gheist's response actually does answer Anak's (stupid) question, regardless of whether you two numpties realize it. Here's why (in easy-to-follow steps): One: The new sniper is a hybridization of the standard sniper and the specialist sniper – a “middle ground”, if you will. This middle ground...
