I think patch notes said they disabled flash and concussion grenades in VR...
but yeah, thanks for the tip. The more people break it, the faster it will get fixed. :P

The harassers can be really nasty. Had fun as the gunner tonight outmanoeuvring armour and using the bulldog to take them down.

@#$%^ TR Lib who singlehandedly killed me like 6 times before I got him. Even when I forced him got out he shotgunned me in one or two shots.

Satisfaction, seeing that lib burn.

I just don't get it...
I am an infiltrator, being all sneaky, don't cloak or decloak stupidly or move around in the open. YET EVERY TIME I AM SEEN...
I ask how, they say they set their graphics to low, makes it easier to see Infiltrators...
I do the same. Can't see any difference at all and still I can't pick out every infiltrator that I come near all the time...

I am even getting spotted when I crouch and stay cloaked...

I don't know what setting it is, but I can usually see infils.  I think they fixed it a bit though because it's harder than it was.

Play cloaky-bastard SMG-in-the-back infil while it's night time- that makes you much harder to see.

The Vanu and the NC regularly work together on Waterson.  I could count maybe 2-3 platoons worth of enemies along the NC/Vanu lines with the rest of their forces working to push us back.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

Because it doesn't make you invisible, just "shadowy". Now you really need to watch the background against which you're seen, still use cover, etc.

This vid shows it well. The cloak is a tool helping you stay hidden, but won't do the job for you.

Keep in mind that cloaking and decloaking also make a sound. Alert enemies will notice the sound even if you're being perfectly stealthy otherwise.

I think it's the other way around. Graphics on High help spot moving infiltrators. There are still quite a few people who have a good eye for such things (I almost fit in this group, but not quite).
When I infiltrate, I try to move as if I don't even have a cloak (unless there's no other way to get to the destination), that almost always works... until I hit a stray claymore. -.-

I don't know what setting it is, but I can usually see infils.  I think they fixed it a bit though because it's harder than it was.

So much this.


Oh, and they fixed the VR-grenade-unlock bug.

He said he doesn't cloak or decloak stupidly, I think he meant in terms of the sound as well.

Mining the exit point of an occupied turret and then hacking a chump right into the mine never gets old. Ever.

Hell, once doing that I had dropped onto an enemy tower, did that to an AA turret, hopped in, started shooting at scythes, and did some considerable damage- including against some burster MAXes standing on the pads- before someone finally wised up and started shooting up the turret.

Had an awesome time playing with the 252nd a few days back. Won an alert with gal drops first on indar, then had a harasser deathrace, probably 60-70 harassers all with one or two passengers, seeing who could get the furthest along the preset course. Sadly like 90% of the people didnt follow the track, but i did get a free prowler kill. Then the platoon moved to another continent, where the NC had only 3 or 4 territories. We capped the whole thing (several platoons together) in a shockingly quick time. and I had one of my free boosts active, so I gained like 130 certs in under 2 hours.

Not only does it make a sound, the sound is faction-specific, so you can hear what faction the guy that just uncloaked behind you is.
