    Cripes, how long of games were these?

    I'm usually happy with 5-10 kills, but mostly because I push for 10-15 minute wins.

    They're longer than you'd expect because the rest of your team is still a bunch of new players.

    Stupid endorsement question: How much negative magazine size penalties can you take before you actually lose a rocket as Megabeth?

    Been thinking about buying one of the bigger reload speed ones.

    you probably have to hit -12.5% to lose a rocket.
    HOWEVER, getting the endos to actually gain a rocket is the single best thing you can do for her dps.

    the only pro that needs to bother with reload speed is the gunner

    That's definitely going to take a while to get all the slots unlocked for, seeing as I just hit level 20.

    you can actually do it at lvl 24 with 3rd rank endos, it just costs 6k instead of 2.5

    I recommend getting some low-level reload speed endos to offset the penalty

    also: ultra and bacon fire rate endos get you the same boost to clip size as regular and extra clip size endos respectively

    it hurts your accuracy but that doesn't matter as much when you can rapidly spam rockets forever

    Is it just me, or is Support a bit on the weak side nowadays? Feels like everything he does, CG does better. Especially since she doesn't have to worry about the roof blocking her beam cannon.

    Oh god no, Support is so much better in like so many ways.

    CG is a good noob class, but support haves so much more utility.

    Laser is better than air strike on spunky/bg, and as good on the other 2.
    Kitties are more useful than the firebase period.
    The nailgun is infinitely more useful than the shotgun.

    That said, the heal/hurt gun is beastly. (I'd be ok with them nerfing it if they actually made the shottie at all useful) AND overclock is a lot better than fortify.

    At the end of the day, I'd say an excellent Support does more for their team than an excellent CG in a premade team, BUT at low-to-average levels of play they're pretty on par with each other.

    If I'm carrying a team of bads, I'd much rather be doing it as a CG. I can't even say how many games I've lost as support because I can push to their rock-its, but can't get them down by myself. Then we lose on the counter push after the defending team gets a free level or two off my teammates running in blindly. (here's one from last night) If I'm playing CG in that same situation, I can typically get the turret and moneyball down and that's enough momentum to secure the win.

    Dude support turret just owns whatever area it's in. That couple with the hurt gun should be considered cruel and unusual torture.

    Spamming airstrike > laser every once and awhile.

    Denying annihilator control on loco moco > kitty nest

  • Options
    SaraLunaSaraLuna Registered User regular
    Support's firebase can be taken out in seconds by almost any pro and only kills people dumb enough to walk into it.

    Properly placed kitties distract opposing players for longer and have way more utility even if they're not strictly 'deadlier'

    And yes, I almost always take support on loco b/c air striking the anni is stupid good there. (Though like I said, I'm beginning to suspect it's costing me more games than it's winning)

  • Options

    Support is amazing on Loco Moco due to annihilator control. CG is pretty good on any map though due to the way her skills go, and her weapons (excepting the snare on the heal/hurt) seem overall better than Supports.

    I thought Support's airstrike now dealt some damage even if the target was under cover? I could be wrong.

    But yes, I prefer CG over Support. By quite a margin.

    Free Pro Rotation: Assassin, Gunner, Karl, Leo, Support, Veteran

    I hear Rule Changes: 7 is on the Foxy Boxing Network.

    It's time for Turbocross! Our first new game mode has arrived for all you who want to try much faster, less strategic gameplay. The Rules Have Changed! Turbocross features rebuildable turrets, faster movement, higher lethality, and no passive power improvement with level. The objective remains the same as Super Crossfire; push bots, destroy the Moneyball!

    We're also introducing more fan inspired content! Mustaches are now available as flair. There is a new slot of flair that goes on Pro's heads so you can mix and match your staches with your chest flair. We'd love to see pictures of your Pro creations!

    As always, feel free to leave us feedback at http://www.uberent.com/forums! If you have issues please email support@uberent.com.

    The current version is: 36647. If you don't have this version, please restart your game.

    if anything, they should just lump both play system on the same queue.

    Okay, finally goten a whole round of Turbocross in.

    I have to admit, it's a lot of fun.

    There needs a lot of balancing to be done. For example, Gunslinger is the 'Fuck you, that's why' class in this mode.
    The turrets needs some work too.

    But overall, it was a fun mode.

    Did the art revisions to Gun Mountain add in the bot paths yet?

    Not that they're very complex, but it always felt weird that they were missing.

    Well, I played my first game of Turbocross. Can't say I really enjoyed it. Is this really what MNC was like? Theres really no point to bot waves (since most games end during "overtime"), snipers and gunner are ridiculously powerful, and theres no real feeling of progression in matches. Its just a big killfest in the middle of the map until overtime. Uber's game design has improved so much in the past six months, its such a shame to see them release a mode like this. At least it will shut up all the people complaining that the lethality is too low.

    I don't know. I can see some great things happening with turbocross. For 1, a single player can carry better. So being stuck in a team of retards isn't so much as a automatic loss.

    The only major issues is the balancing.

    IGN reviewed SMNC. Its a pretty piss-poor article imo.

    I wish SMNC would get more coverage than it has. It is by far my favorite game of this year so far, but most people I know have never heard of it.
