Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

The hammerburst can headshot and instant kill at range.
To be honest, I'd be wary of upping the hammerburst power, now that I'm playing on high sensitivity I can down people in a incredibly quick span of time when I'm on the ball about it. The recoil is a lot easier to control this way. If anyone is silly enough to pick up a weapon when I have my hammerburst out you can be sure they'll be down before they can use it, unless of course they use the safe weapon pick up exploit.
Due to cover, health regen etc. the only way your going to kill someone at long range with a non one hit kill weapon is if they do something stupid. Though lately I've been having a lot of success slamming people in shotgun duels with my hammerburst. They are occupied with the shotgun duel and when they do hit the ground you have someone right on top of them to finish them off.
If you want to kill people at range with the hammerburst you have to play the angles. You have to get in a position to the side or behind the enemies cover. Usually you can unload and get them down before they even realize what is hitting them.
I did notice that headshots with the boltok, while not a 1 hit kill did significantly more damage. Maybe changing the hammerburst like that would be a good idea. Lancer users could charge in while the hammerburst users force the enemy to keep their heads down behind cover. Blindfire might actually be needed for a change.
My wit is sub-par, I couldn't start a good thread if I tried.

Hurm, I know I've gotten a hammerburst headshot kill online before. I was amazed because it was on execution and I just flat out killed the guy at range. Boltok headshots are great times.
Speaking of private games, I just did some chainsaw tests using a private game and a rubberband over the b button of the second player controller. From this I've concluded that the culprit for the chainsaws power online is simply lag, and nothing more. Two aimed shots from a hammerburst anywhere on the body makes the chainsaw stop revving. One shotgun round at even medium range does it. One round from the boltok, one burst from the gorgon, 3 aimed pistol rounds, etc etc all make the chainsaw stop revving.
Also a new thread would be grand.

We are actually starting at level 1 I think. Should be me, my friend and his brother. We plan on going 1-50 tonight.
Alternatively let's get an organized PA group going so we can consistently play with good people.
Is there a way to play a public wingman match with just people on your friends list? My friend and I need one more win in wingman to get the friggen achievement. We are on day 3 of trying.
Also, we need maybe 2-3 people (depending who of my friends joins) to beat from level 34 - end of horde. Not right now obviously, but sometime this week I guess.
Yes, please! I gave up on matchmaking a long time ago. About two hours after getting the game, in fact. I play system link with friends a bit, but something a bit more regular would be most welcome.
Incidentally, a fun alternative to horde is a 4v5 comp-stomp on meatflag. The AI's not too bad at it, since you don't get much of a chance to hunker down anywhere.
edit: Scratch that. We need one more.
EDIT: Guess not.

Today the newest patch was released, which also made my debut post into Beef Jack, where I'll be contributing news to (and hopefully work my way up when they start looking for reviewers).
I just gave the game a try right now, and how did it fare? No improvements to the Matchmaking whatsoever. Once I joined a game, right into Round 3 I ambush two enemies from behind. As soon as I chainsaw one guy, the host quits the whole match. Also, people still aren't talking and still quitting within the first round.
I wish I could get over my verbal disappointment about this game, but I can't. I wish I could sell it for full price so I could get Left 4 Dead on the 360 (in addition to the PC version).
I can't stand that people are still playing this. I wish there was a massive boycott from players so the fucks in charge would hurry up and fix this piece of shit. But they don't, so they won't.

What are the actual problems? I haven't gotten to the multiplayer yet, is there anything beyond douchey players?

It takes more than 5 minutes to connect to anyone 90% the time
super retarded glitches (spawning without weapons for one)
quitters
if the host quits the whole game ends (right?)
douches.
The multi is shit, which is a shame because I love what little I've played.
If Anyone ever feels like playing gamertag veeoneuhh
Am I just insanely lucky with the matchmaking? I usually get a game in under 30 seconds these days. Lag is rare, hosts dropping has happened to be like 3 times ever.
The TU hopefully fixed a lot of glitches but honestly glitchers tend not to be much harder to kill than anyone else unless they start using a really game breaking one like glitching out of the level.
With the title update I just expect to enjoy things even more.
