Exactly, if you just stand on the ground level of a map with your big gun out, anyone who isn't stupid is going to rape you in da buttz. Wielding your cannon makes you weaker I believe, because I always two or three shot cannon-users when I get up close with my sword. If the map has them, get to some high ground. I remember one map where you could set yourself up on this wall inside a min-base thing. If you had a couple of people to defend you from the lower area of it you can wreck absolute havoc.
Course personally I'm a sword and shield man. Pfft, SMGs can't do shit when I rush at them with my shield raised.
Wait, so this is basically Gunz with giant robots? I'm on that like a fatty in a chinese buffet. I'll try to fit it in between playing Brawl. Here's to hoping my ancient graphics card can take it. :P
Tried this when it was in beta but quit when everyone, and you may think I am joking, but EVERYONE used SMG's because they were so retardedly overpowered. Is that still the case?
From what I've played, I'd say that a good 3/4ths of the playerbase use SMGs as their primary weapon.
I had fun with Exteel in the beta, but I really couldn't get into it for very long. The depth wasn't there, and most of the time I felt like there was no "team" other than sometimes spawning next to your teammates and ganging up on newbs that were lost in the map. However, dual wielding guns is always good times.
I use a SMG and Rifle combo for distance combat and a Spear with Shotgun for up close.
I don't do as much pure damage as a lot of the other builds I see but I can adapt to the situations better. Or maybe I'm just fooling myself, who knows.
If everyone joins the PA channel each time they log on, and adds everyone they see in there as friends, we should be able to get some good PA vs. Random Peep action going on. We need to hit up Ventrilo so we can just rape bitches.

Hows the shotgun? It was a papermache gun last I tried it.
I like how it autodeclines friend invites if you don't see them in time.
Sorry goomba, was reading my book and didnt see the request.

So yeah, this is fairly fun for being free.
My callsign is TheMarshall.
Right now I'm running with a sword/shotgun combo as primary and a rocket launcher as secondary. I like the rockets, but I'm unimpressed with the shotgun. It doesn't feel like it's doing as much damage as it should for the sacrficing of range. I might try an smg in it's place.
The shotgun is questionable. I have one that shoots fireballs and it seems to do okay damage, the accuracy is high.
I don't know, it is hard to tell what kind of damage I'm really doing. I'll have to do some Last Man to better gauge it. I do like having the range attack ability of it in my off hand while running around with the spear. It has earned me a few kills I otherwise may not have gotten, what with all of the boosting out of range of melee.
I've been using the sword/smg combo and it works better than dual swords, generally. Just fire up until you get into melee range and then start hacking at them, and if they decide to run you can still finish them off with your smg.

Yeah I tried the spear/rifle combo, but then I never have the shield when I need it. Shield is very usefull against cannoneers since the shot doesn't stun you if it hits the shield.
Oh? I thought SMGs were the fully automatics and hand guns were, uh, not.
The tutorial gave me two SMGs and two Pistols.

the "handguns" the tutorial gives you are SMGs. The other guns you get from the tutorial are rifles. The other pair of SMGs you'll have are the default starter guns.
They work very differently from SMGs though, the way they get used is kind of like Gun Kata. You can fire at one person with one gun and fire at another if you time it right. And you gotta admit the spinning of the pistol thing is a lot cooler than the SMGs.
But, I'm having fun when I do get to play! I wound up naming my robot the GOMONKEY because Carpainter wouldn't fit and I can't think of anything awesome.

They're classed as SMGs. They are burst fire weapons, seem to fire 3 shots per press. Does roughly the same amount of damage as the normal SMGs over time, but has better burst.
I am really digging Blade+Rectifier / Rocket Launcher
Plus, it seems everybody is using zippy little mechs with dual SMGs. When I get myself kitted out in all this Boomrocker gear, I'm going to look unstoppable

I can get on this time tomorrow to. We'll have to play more.
I can say fuck right?

The smg'ers are still way overpowered.
"Whats that mr.cannoner, standing still and trying to get two shots off to kill me? Cool, I'll just stand perfectly still and smg you to death!"
Positioning yourself is almost as important as actually firing the weapon.

Plus c'mon, giant robots with guns.

It is nice to see they improved some things though, the spear is actually usefull now, and they lowered the cost of repair packs alot.
Oh, so it is like Gunz, then.
Most of them seem to come acropper when rifles are involved. It's like they don't understand how they work...they probably don't.

Just find a place high enough where nobody will fuck with you for a while with a high damage cannon, and you'll be good to go.
