I had fun crouching almost right next to the enemy sunderer permahidden and constantly spotting for spot exp.

And nobody bothered to look for the invisible chatty infiltrator?

Another ind was looking for me and even planted some darts but since i was not moving it did jack. Ge got bored after a while and went sniping while scores of NC redblueshirts were running at the base. I finally got to be useful and assasinated the engies repairing the sunderer that in effect ended the NC attack.

I have to admit, with the new hunter cloak TR actually has one of the best weapons to use it with. (which of course means it'll be nerfed to shit after all the whining from the blue and purple slags)

The Desperado (and Rebel, IMO) is a plenty potent weapon that I don't have an issue with the TR pistols.  I will admit that the VS gets the short end of the stick here.

I don't get it. Since when do MAXes use pistols?

Only pistol I use as VS is the Commissioner anyway. Everything else feels too weak pew pew for me, and while my twitch aiming needs lots of work I can generally take people down with it reliably in short to mid range. Default Beamer is horrendous.

Is there any word on when they're going to release the new sniper rifles? I'm really looking forward to an ammoless bolt action charge shot/semi auto hybrid with piercing.

I've gotten 1k certs, and now I'm not sure what to buy with them. (VS char)
Possibilities:
- X-bow
- Cerberus
- Underboss (already got Commisioner on TR char and don't like it a whole lot)
- AV MANA Turret
- Lancer
- wait for new sniper rifle

I'm tempted to wait, but I'm also tempted to grab the x-bow. Any suggestions on what not to buy? :P

Well as i see the thing.. 1k certs can be easily get in 5 days so no much grinding needed on that.
AV manaturret is nice against vehicles...but really it is up to your playstyle really :)

My problem is framerate, so it takes me about twice as long to get certs. :(
And I play primarily Infiltrator (~55%), Engie (~30%), and HA (~10%), so...

As an engie i like my AV turret because it helps a LOT against hacked base turrets and you can even quickly destroy terminals.
And of course you can use it against vehicles you'd be harmless otherwise.

AV turret definitely, it's a real game changer.

I agree with the AV Mana choice.

Crossbow: This is a weapon for shotgun users... and infiltrators don't get shotguns. Avoid, until you start playing LA.
Cerberus: No idea. I seem to be the only person who likes the Beamer.
Underboss: This is probably too similar to the Commissioner for you to like it.
Lancer: This would also work, but you don't play HA as much as you engineer, and HA already has AV choices.
New Sniper Rifle: The first pass of this on Test was pretty underwhelming, but you never know with SOE...

I really like the idea of a no-drop infinite-ammo you-only-gotta-lead sniper rifle, though...

I just checked it out on the test server again, it seems quite a bit better than what it was initially. If you snipe a lot, it might be an interesting choice, actually.
