Lattice system is good. Just tweak it more so some tactics could be played there and not all zerging around.
Allso it is shame there aint any hackable doors like in Ps1

[Toaster]

There's a real lack of hackables in the game, what with their systematic removal of non-spawn room terminals.  Towers are about the only place they remain.

[Zona]

Also, wheee Amerish lattice! Hopefully people will play on it for more than a week.

I thought people played on amerish only because it was the last place without a lattice.
Now with lattice in place the place is going to be deserted along with esamir for the greater glory of Indarside!

I avoid the place like a plague because it lacks a lattice. If I'm not leading an outfit squad I even skip the seeing green alerts.

Okay, after splashing 400 certs to get 2 sticks C4 for my engie, I can safely say they are hilarious. Oh, the fun you can have...
Suicide bombed sundies? Check.
Applied to underside of contest capture points? BWAHAHAHAHA check.
Thrown out of spawn room waiting for the max spawn camping us to come pass with my finger or the trigger? Boom, check.
Blown up ususpecting Max jumped ambushing us? Check.
Still on my list, Flash C4 delivery (probably with a test subject driving) and sticking C4 to a vehicle and waiting until they drive off before pulling the trigger.
Right, advice needed. You guys are always great for that.
Are shotguns worth it (I'd get the auto but effort, so extended capacity it is)?
Is the heavy w/ Extended shotgun and heal kits viable?
Are there any good AA engi options or do I have to change class for it?
For my merc, laser sights or forward grip? Flash hider, suppressor or none? Thanks for all the feedback. No need to trouble yourselves with long anwsers if you don't want to, I'm sure repeating things over and over to me must be tedious.

Finally, I'd love to fight with you guys some time. You seem to be mostly Mattherson NC. We could organise some fun things...
Example: In VR a few days ago my friend and I spent half an hour trotting around with a galaxy and lightning, trying to find, align and drive up a suitable overhang. My friend got stuck and useless, and a random vanguard apparently caught on, followed by it plowing up the overhang and throwing itself onto my galaxy. With a better pilot it could have been flown (I scraped the wing tip and the whole thing went sideways) and we could have airdropped tanks. Aka, I need to make a video about that. Also, you can cert the flash to have no cool down, so if people were willing 3 could provide 2 whole squads with battleflashes. That would be very cool.

Shotguns are worth it when in closequarters.

Its why NC MAXes are so much fun, and so raged at.

Excellent, Shotgun based loadout it is. I'll go stomp me some towers tomorrow.

[beorn080]

I prefer the battle rifle. Turns heavy's and engi's into snipers with a LOT more versatility. My next purchase was a selective fire carbine that can mount a smoke grenade launcher. Versatility rocks.

They're cheesy. So yes.

Is the heavy w/ Extended shotgun and heal kits viable?

Heavy anything with heal kits is viable. Get the Jackhammer for extra NC cheesiness.

Are there any good AA engi options or do I have to change class for it?

Change class.

For my merc, laser sights or forward grip? Flash hider, suppressor or none?

Laser sight. Suppressor only if you want to be sneaky. Otherwise nothing on the barrel.

[Toaster]

Jim is correct on all above counts, especially the Jackhammer note.  It's pricey, but effective.


For baby's first shotgun, though, you can't go wrong with the Sweeper (extended mag).  Not only is it a steal at 250 certs for a weapon four classes can use, but it's one of the more generally effective shotguns.  The auto-shotties are horribly inaccurate outside of butt-slapping distance.

LA in a tower loves shotguns, since LA is a master of positioning.  Hop up a level and land behind someone, make them dead.  I wouldn't prefer a shotgun on the heavy, but there's no reason you can't use it.

[Metalax]

Are there any good AA engi options or do I have to change class for it?

The new crossbow when equipped with explosive bolts is surprisingly effective against esf's when they are hovering/moving in a straight, predictable line to lolpod spawns/chokepoints. You probably won't score many kills but the vast majority of pilots will breakoff and flee if you can score a hit or two.

[Toaster]

Or hop in a Skyguard.


Or AP Vanguard if you trust your aim.

The Engi battle rifle can also ding ESF's and Liberators. Not galaxies, sadly, but when you ding an ESF they tend to flip and flee, even if the damage doesn't do much.

AP Vannie is almost like an OP Vannie
I'm glad I'm smart enough to not get hit with daltons or tank shells, but it sure is fun sniping unsuspecing mossies.

[zombat]

Remind me again why landing both shots of an AP prowler doesn't kill an esf?

[DJ]

Because you hate freedom
