Has anyone else had problems with their automatic weapons not consistently firing? Holding down the mouse button on my LMG sometimes results in sporadic bursts rather than proper maintained fire.
I think there is a key that switches infantry weapons that support it from automatic to semi-automatic or manual.

To genoece:
Well, its a beta, and its noticeable. At times it can be buggy, unbalanced and unoptimized (THE LAAAG RAAAH) but despite all that, it's a really fun game. Especially if you can play it with a bunch of friendly people.

E: If you see an "Elizebeth" in the outfit, i invited her. Met her defending a base against some TR all by herself and helped her out. We kicked some vanu ass after our asses got kicked by some TR.

I'm using the base CARV, which has no burst setting. Even if it did, there's a difference between 'defined 3, 4, or 5 round burst' and 'random, uncontrollable bursts of fire followed by occasional complete inability to keep firing for up to several seconds'.

Doesn't really matter. I don't know if it's necessarily my computer or if it's theirs, or something in between, but I have such terrible connection to their server that I literally cannot play.

As for landing i realised that if you want a fast landing the best is to slow down while going downward. also looking at your minimap to see if there is *rocks* also help, also MAKE SURE you nose vector on your hud is on LEVEL (0) How many time did i see somebody trying to land with his nose either down or too high. That coupled with space on the last meter, also bailing at 1meter high isnt an issue MOST of the time, if you try to land on a slope i dont recommend, but on flat land/top its a good idea to let gravity do the last meter while you are not in.

Geneoce, it's got some issues, but honestly less than I expected from a game of this scope.  After all, you've got up to 2,000 players on each map, and it's a shooter with realistic physics and projectiles on maps that take up dozens of square kilometers.  I haven't had this much fun in a shooter since the original Planetside.  All in all, I consider it a worthy successor, and an amazing game in its own right. 

Will it be "finished" in time for release?  I hope so.  I've seen a lot of major bugs gets sorted out in the few days I've been playing, and updates and hotfixes are being released daily.  Also lots of feedback on the forums from the team, which is always a good thing.  It's very ambitious, especially with the free to play model.  I hope it does well.  There are also going to be some big changes to the meta-game before release, so we'll see how that pans out.  As it is right now, I'd pay money for it.  Actually have, bought Alpha Squad, lol.  It's definitely been worth the money.

realistic physics and projectiles
Then why do tank missiles have an actual explosion radius that can kill you TROUGH WALLS and rockets from HA's dont?


But for the rest, i love it too. The devs did a great job so far. Except for mayby optimization. But let's hope that will come :P

I bought the NC Heavy anti-air missile launcher (Hawk). The lock-on thing has ridiculously low range, but holy hell that thing is accurate. It's much more effective against enemy snipers and pockets of infantry than actual aircraft, but hey. So, amazing sniper rifle, lackluster missile launcher.

Getting on as Conall (NC, Thebe) now if anyone else is on. Did we ever get the outfit remade?

Lock-on? It has lock-on?

The purchase thing for Vanu says no lock-on.

I'm sure the Vanu version has other advantages like actually being able to damage anything, or something like that.

I am pretty sure the missile launchers have atleast a small blast effect. I think I've killed multiple enemies with the same shot a couple of times. But yeah it's kind of weak like that.
