Tried Bender Twin beams and no longer charges but continouosly fires single shots. Its been lamed down considerably.
In DM Stinger and Rox rule, especially the Stinger. Look for most players to come at you with this one big time.
Goliath is about the same but has significantly increased maximum elevation of the barrel. On the current map, Eagle Eyes are really not very challenging even for a tank hater like me. I had to try it and went Unstoppable in one before I knew it. Perch it on the SPMA side and let her rip.
Shock used to be the weapon of choice now I hardly see anybody use it on VCTF. DM is a frag frest with secondary and if you can position yourself near the Shock spawn its a turkey shoot. Shock was the weapon of choice against Raptors and Mantas as well but not so much anymore.
I like the Sniper a lot more than I thought although the lag is very noticable with it; same for Shock.
The Avril seems a bit of a joke at the moment. Requires absolutely no skill at all, instant lock.
Flak works about the same although it has an increased time delay to first shot. Got caught a few times that way, shooting blanks. LOL.
I tested Link and it does not appear to have a maximum range anymore from what I can tell. Good against vehicles.
Manta is significantly improved which is bad since it was already overpowered in UT2k4. Its a monster now!
Raptor is about the same I find. Perhaps a bit more manueverable but its hard to tell on this one map. More splash damage with the primary and since secondary no longer locks on parked vehicles, it makes it quite effective against foots and tanks.
Hoverboard is interesting. Had great fun today with Goat driving the Manta and me hitching a ride. Got a few flags that way.
Storm, I would suggest playing some VCTF first as that is closer to what you are currently used to. DM servers are great fun but the current map selection is not optimum for the player counts on them.
