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!

My trap boxes haven't been super effective, but mostly because of how many big motherfuckers are running around. Unfortunately I haven't managed a multikill with that though.
{Twitter, Everybody's doing it. }{My Rambling Blog}
but only 1 multikill with 3 ranks to do
and 8 post mortem kills, but with more people im dying more so that should go up, and im plagued by speedys and nimbles on 25th floor
new patch now prevents me from getting past the opening cinematic although it should be running perfectly because of how fucking long it took.
goodbye, GCI.
it sounds like the patch failed to apply properly, i had the same issue until i did a manual install of the patch.. my bros patch failed as well, instead of fucking with it i just copied the patch files onto a usb and did that way...
edit: it is a shame because the patch is pretty fantastic, i got 4-5 games in this morning, deathmatches are only taking 4 or 5 mins to run
That's awesome

So far, digging the changes, like the new level and I'm still really digging the game.
if I buy this on Origin, is it going to be ridiculously difficult to play with friends who bought this on steam?
the matchmaking is done via GFWL so people who get through steam or origin will be inconvenienced equally.
this replaces my 22-1 run as the closest i will get (the other run had a 14 kill streak before interupted)
no it doesnt carry over between matches (well i guess it did say i was 1/20 when i checked afterwards but still, thats a really low score for an 18 kill round with no multikills
Still fun on PC, and shockingly a growing populace of new players (several matches the last few days with sub 20s) im lvl 154 and my bro is 189, but really lvl after 30 doesnt matter too much as you can get one full loadout of your choosing, the defaults work will enough as well (1 for each body type, if you like fps/batman/fun and have 15$ or 7.50 when its on sale you should play

This includes all DLC.
EDIT: Having fun with it. Level 8 after about 45 minutes of play. Went for a the lightest body type with a shotgun and roller skates. Got the boomerang, but that was a poor choice for a fast character. Holding at a 1.3 or so K:D ratio, so it's working out for me. Even won a deathmatch when it was like 3 to 6.
nemisis ~ kill someone 5x without them killing you in a match
you cant unlock everyone thing by lvl 100 (but most everything) however at lvl 101 everything locks back up and you proceed to unlock everything again, you DO lose any unspent coins, you dont lose any bought costume peices (however the multiple loadouts for bodytypes will disappear and you have to reunlock them)
you are redonkulously better than i was starting the game, and i hope to kill you at some point (with rockets most likely)
penetrator ammo bypasses the hubcap damage reducer, but not the kinda bulletproof perk (people tend to use those together, so thats why they had the blue numbers) in addition penetrator ammo does half damage to people blocking using the falcon blade (which normally blocks like 80%, or some very high number) it can go through thin walls as well and deal 50% damage, it has no negative impact on your weapon
wallflower means you wont show up on the minimap as a red dot, even areas with motion sensors, and cannot be tagged with motion sensor goggles.
i dont like how some of the perk/fun fact descriptions are vague (or the details of how to complete some of the feats).
there is also an april fools community challenge up, but the descriptions are all in finnish? or some other language i dont understand
pretty fun so far
what should I prioritize as far as my custom options?
The speed of the smaller bodies won't save you when a couple bullets can end you. You can make it work, but it's disgusting at how many advantages the bigger bodies have over the smaller ones.
Mods and gadget/support items unlock pretty frequently. Weapons less so, and body types are far and few between. Play with the premades before picking a body type.
Popular builds seem to be small bodies with shotguns on skates and big bruisers with rocket launchers and the glider.
body types affect play style, the most OP (if you want to call that) are probably a burly a with a jackhammer/glider or a nimble with smg + falcon blade and air shoes.
each body type has its pluses and minuses and there are counter support items for gadgets.
id recommend trying each of the default body types for a game to see how they play. they have a default loadout for each body, get a few games with each and then see which playstyle body type suits you best and start your custom loadouts from there. Otherwise you could buy a bunch of items with unlocks that dont suit your playstyle and you will have to wait longer to get the ones you want.
if a particular body weapon type is giving you particular trouble, just play that body/weapon and see how everyone else counters it on you, it is much easier and more informative than asking on their official forums
HEAD SHOT TATER TOT!
BRAIN CONFETTI!
Or he can just knife you, since that's a one-shot.
edit: ive seen them empty an entire clip of a jackhammer/shredder and only hit me with 1 bullet
edit 2: for the card and paintjob event going on
my only complaints are
1) no one ever seems to be playing anything other than deathmatch and
2) that whole thing with the randomly selected host kicking everyone out when they drop mid-game
Damn you GFWL. Otherwise the game is fantastic, seriously other than Tribes Ascend none of the other FPSs I've played could hold my attention just as well. Rollerbladin' around, freezin' dudes, and occasionally firing a salvo of rockets into their face.
Oooh, might try that, too. Surely my efforts in toto will suffice to leave my crosshairs moist and crispy like a roast duck.
