The laser doesn't appear to be visible on anything other than the pistol to me.

[Siquo]

Ah... ok. That makes it more interesting.

There's an odd glitch with the laser dot at the moment. It actually shows up as a faint black line if you notice in the character screen. I was having the same problem with my reflex sight as well untill last patch.

I wish the weapon testing would start already.
Except for performance optimization(which is in dire need for a lot of people) the game seems quite stable.

[Rez]

The reason, especially in a game like PS2, is that reflections and whatnot take processing power and memory and lots of it.  As do dynamic shadows.  I'm quite impressed with how well dynamic shadows (they're all dynamic as far as I can tell) look in game.

[palsch]

Also I doubt the suppressor has any disadvantages. After all, it locks out the option to use the red dot and foregrip, both of which have no apparent disadvantages on their own.

No, it doesn't. I mentioned this in my last post, but you can have both the suppressor and a rail attachment equipped in the same selection slot. I run around with a suppressor, laser dot and 4x laser sight on my SAW.

And regarding optimization, I lost a lot of performance in the latest patch. I'm hoping it was just temporary.

So, I pretty much just found out about this game. I am blown away with how darn cool it looks. It sound like a wet dream of mine really.

They need to send out more beta keys.

BWahahahahaaa Oh I so know what he feels. I'm done playing for tonight. Too many opponents who know what they're doing. I need to get this mike working.

I think I've decided I"m okay as long as I"m not actually fighting in a base and there are less than 40 people around... if it meets either of those requirements, then my FPS drops too low for me to be effective in a fight. (I can still usually drive a galaxy though.) Inside a base my FPS drops like a rock... playing as a HA, I had maybe 10 frames from seeing a LA right in front of me, to having him jetting over my head and shooting me in the back. I tried, but it wasn't enough to aim properly and I died. I've never been great at FPSes, but I just can't compete at all in these conditions.

Open terrain, with only a dozen or so people around, I'm great... but combat rarely takes place there unless it's A2A or A2G. Still, fighting across a valley near the North/south dividing line between two smaller outposts has been one of the more fun battles I"ve been in. It was night time, I had a IRNV scope on my carbine, found some rocks to hide behind and flipped to single shot and just took shots at targets that were too stupid to take cover. The TR carbine is surprisingly accurate on single shot mode. It's no sniper rifle, but can still do a decent job.

Have you tried playing the TR infil?

Oh I know what you mean! It's Seabed Listening Post and West Highlands Checkpoint, innit? I love that place. Especially because the NC like to put a whole bunch of snipers and engie turrets up on the ridge on their side of the valley. So I just jet up there, make my way along the ridge, and murder them to death one by one. The rest of the TR like to hide in the rocks around Checkpoint, so the idea of a lone LA doing that is so inconceivable to the NC that I can usually take out five or more before they realize what's going on.

I have, and I actually had some success sneaking around inside a base and taking out generators. Wasn't able to do much against people though. I'm apparently a terrible sniper. I probably should give it a try more often because I can usually at least survive as an Inf, even if I can't actually do much damage. (Last time, I emptied most of my rifle ammo shooting at people spawning on a galaxy... no direct kills, but a couple of assists. Once I was down to five shots, I snuck inside, took out a generator by emptying my entire pistol plus one rifle round into it. After that, I hid near the generator, waited till an engineer came up to repair the gen, tried to throw a grenade at him, missed, and ended up getting filled full of bullets for it.

The inf really does need C4 though... there were so many situations I could have used it to effect during that run.

I know West Highlands is one of them... I can't remember if Seabed is the other, but I know it's in that general area. Yeah, TR does like to camp a bit and NC was a bit more proactive about flanking us, and of course the Reavers just loved strafing us with rockets. I believe it ended badly for us, but still was fun.

That canyon base demands high causalities to take. Snipers paradise and all the tanks gets funneled into a small area easily bombed.
Anyone unlocked the skyguard or the prowler AA(walker?) and care to share their thoughts? Currently considering which one to get.
I'm ivefan on EU1 playing TR.

[Rez]

If you're talking about the canyon leading down from the Biolab toward the Quartz what have you, it's an incredible place to fight as TR.  Only place we can entice the NC on USE1 to engage us with substantial ground forces.

I'm pretty sure the walker is a commanders turret, ie replaces 20mm gun.  and you really wouldn't want to replace your main gun in that fight, since constant shelling using the prowler deploy mode works wonders.  It generally seems that the skyguard is the goto solution, with the double burster max being an equal only in numbers.  Sometime reavers will  stop having unlimited afterburner and more armor than anyone else. Sometime...

Another weapon I've recently discovered is the SKEP launcher.  Basically just the standard HA rocket launcher, but with a lock-on mode, which basically means that the HA is actually useful.

Did they widen the spread on the CARV?
