Had a grand time in the double xp this weekend. Last night one of us got this strange desynch problem, and after trying a bunch of stuff figured out it was Vanu specific! Even switching to another server Vanu was messed up.
So we jumped on some conglomerates for awhile. Immediately we all noticed how amazing the default gun is. We were all just mowing people down. Then about 30 minutes later it sort of went away. I wonder if they boost damage for low levels to try to help out newbs?
I still notice the strange phenomenon where when you first log in, people die when you shoot them. But if you switch from fighting terrans to smurfs, the smurfs are suddenly eating whole clips without dying. But it is not an everytime thing. Sometimes I'll have a great night where my guns aren't half full of blanks.
