Your Warfare thoughts

Re: Your Warfare thoughts

The game play is more free form and abstract. Warefare is definately more chaotic and breaks the ONS lather, rinse, repeat game play.

The game right now definately feels a lot more balanced than traditional ONS as well.

not only does the orb add a whole new layer of awesome to ons, but also turns nodes into hectic deathwatch arenas

I'm not a big fan of warfare but hey it may grow on me

Anyone know how to use the Necris Scavenger with any degree of success? This is the one vehicle I haven't quite figured out yet. Seems difficult to turn, and the little "nano" probe thing that floats around it doesn't seem to do much on the few times I've been able to deploy it properly.

Bowling for frags!

LOL, seems quite useless to me except perhaps as a reasonably quick but not so agile transport.

First time I went bowling with it, I think I rolled over about 10 folks around the core before getting killed.....fun but really don't know how effective it would except at a spawn point.

The few times I've used it, I quickly discovered that Flak rips it apart pretty good. I've had a lot more "success" in discovering that than in how the things actually work.

I couldn't figure out the scavenger either in a couple hours of play earlier today. In the spider mode (as opposed to the rolling mode) what exactly is the primary fire doing? It doesn't seem to hurt anything, but the reticle changes sometimes as though it has "locked on" to something.

[Devilguns]

If you train the laser onto a target the little energy ball that follows around you will (eventually) attack the target you have it pointed at. It attacks way too slow but from what I have seen it looks like instant death. Either that or I was attacking people who already were low in health. The jump on that is very high, I got some pancakes with it.

(according to the UT3 Strategy Guide)

Scavenger: 200 health
Primary Fire: lock on any target (node, vehicle, infantry) w/ orbiting Nanoblack drone (30 dmg/0.2 ROF). Once locked the drone will constantly damage the target as long as you maintain the lock.

Secondary Fire: Retracts legs into rolling (ball) mode. Tap the primary fire to extend tentacles while rolling. If moving fast enough ball mode can cause up to 190 dmg down to a min of 50 dmg (no dmg if it's not moving fast enough). Triggering the ball gives a 2 sec. speed boost w/ recharge time of 2 sec. If done in the air while moving quickly it gains more forward speed.

Special:
Can "cling" to surfaces while holding jump while near them.
Can heal Nodes (doesn't say how or could be a mis-print).

BTW anyone try putting the Nightshade's EMP, Energy Shield or Spider Mines on vehicles? Except for the Slow Volume the guide states you can do this but I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.

[Kronos[X]]

The Scavenger is a very interesting vehicle. To heal nodes just use the primary lock on mode and the drone will fly and heal the node, and from a pretty good distance I might add. Not as fast as link, but you have unlimited ammo. Haven't been able to get it to cling to surfaces yet. Holding jump isn't working, but I did manage somehow to rocket it over the AVRiL tower in Avalanche, now that's some major distance. Speaking of Avalanche has anyone else use the demo charge to cause an avalanche that destroys the primary node if the enemy has it or anything else that is in its path.

Played last night myself...
I am indeed cannon fodder

No VOIP, no squads, just a lot of random 1v1's and general
frag fest. Not normally what I like to play really.
Yes, there is an objective, but it isn't coordinated, just everyone
heads that way.

It IS an adrenaline boost, but I don't last long enough to enjoy playing
on it yet. You will see me at the bottom of the scores.

I suppose I was this bad when I started 2142, just don't remember it
being that way ALL the time.

You Ex ONS and UT's have a tremendous edge. Want an easy kill, just
look for D&G...

I might come to love it, just not yet.

[Grisu]

Loved the squad play as well.
Everything in ut3 seems so unorganized to me.
