Few of my friends are waiting for this to hit on ps4 before jumping into it. (Excuse to get off the pc kinda thing). I'll probably try it then as well.
Should be out around Xmas and I'll be playing on both.

Yea if you guys want to have an Ops night on one of those servers I'd be down with that.
I want to try Operation LA Bomba and see how that works. You load up a galaxy and fly at max altitude, spawning and dropping Light Assaults on an armor zerg to C4 all their tanks.

That works really well with Heavy's and Dumbfire rockets also. If the first pass doesn't kill the target, everyone respawns in the gal to make a 2nd pass.

What is the consensus on implants so far? They seem tedious as fuck to me.

I ended up buying the Terminus VX-9, this gun insane.

The large energy cost makes them feel like way too tedious for me to bother with. Maybe the anti-radar one for infiltrator if I ever get it, but other than that...

Battle Hardened is very good, it stops screen shake a great deal.

Regen is getting nerfed (hotfixed) it was very OP.
ADV targetting is cool too but over all i think I like BH the most.

Terminus the OP VS new medic gun is already nerfed on test.

I'm very much a mid-long range player. I should like the infl-sniper game play. but holy hell I never have. It got better when they added straight pull bolt attachments, but fuck the entire hold breath, scope sway mechanic (honestly, if nv 1x, 6x, and 12x sway, all scopes should sway. Then I'd either get used to it, or the outcry would cause them to find different solutions to NV being the best scope in the game and no sway sniping being "too easy"). But entirely too many asshats pull sniper scopes when we're getting owned by libs, or the enemy is assaulting the points through methods that make snipers 80% useless.

That said. The SMG infl, with the sensor beacon, is so much fun, and really good exp too. Knowing where all moving enemies are AND knowing their facing? Godlike. Shame that most of the zerg infs, if they bother to sensor anything, they use that worthless dot.

I'm normally not a sniper guy, but some of the most fun I've had is sneaking on top of the Bio lab tower behind those colored banners. With engineers at their turrets, medics sitting still and HAs camping and not moving, it was like I was mowing down NPCs while playing CoD single player campaign with my silenced RAMS 50. Silencer hurts range damage a bit, but inside the bio lab you'll always One Hit Kill with a head shot.

And yes, you can climb the tower, or even the tree as any class. Look at it like a jump puzzle! Pounder Max in a tree is really fun, brings me back to my Under Barrel grenade launcher days. With grenades dropping down, it's not so obvious that someone is above you.

The sniping mechanic in this game feels very clunky to me. Ive never been a top sniper in any PvP FPS game, but I had managed to be decent. In BF4 I did ok and I really loved the SKS DMR with over 1200 kills with that DMR alone. But in this game it just feels clunky as hell. The only gun that I found that fit my sniping style is the NS DMR with a 3.4x or 4x for a more mid range type sniping role, but with that gun I often just damage the enemy so that others kill them or kill already damaged enemies. 4-5 shots to kill with a DMR thats rather slow firing with slow ass bullet veocity is pretty hard to do.

I think it all has to do with the velocity of the bullets in this game? Something just feels off. Maybe the feedback? i dont know, it just feels awfully clunky compared to the BF 3-4 where I came from and had the most experience in. I sometimes run with a ghost with a 4x and its the same thing, it just feels odd to me.

In other news im usually a HA type player, mixing in the max suit. But lately ive been fucking around with the LA and im really starting to enjoy the playstyle quite a bit. Its rather odd on how many people just dont look up. Last night for instance we were doing a late night alert on Esamir. So we storm a base, me being one of the first there, I get on top of a building and notice TR dudes setting up shop to farm some of our infantry while they come into the base. I took all 4-5 of them out from the roof of the building, then they rezzed up and I took them all out again, and no one bothered to fucking look up. Its really amazing how stupid some people are.

Oh, also on the implant thing, they really need to adjust the rate that the power draws or something. Because Im not even going to bother otherwise. The first night they went live I played around with them and they just draw the power way too fucking quick. I think I went through like 4500 power in less than 2 hours.

I should be able to dual wield Automatic shotguns so I can compete with the good players. /tears
Do what I do: play light assault or infil, use a suppressor, and shoot them in the back.

I recently started fucking around with LA, my favorite thing is watching someone who thinks they found a clever spot to hide a sunder and as they deploy I blow that shit up.

Been libbing on Connery with my old gunners from my NUC days. Totally destroying the server while having a blast. I recommend Connery to people if SoE won't merge Matherson and Waterson. I have two high BR characters per server and find these two servers don't offer the numbers Connery does. Plus the average skill level on Connery is much lower. Dalton for life.

Be VERY careful on what guns you buy, many of them are not worth it. This is coming from someone whom has bought almost every gun in the game and they are just collecting dust. I'd pick one or two for each class and stick with them.

Regime, please tell me you are fucking with me about the Terminus VX-9. I love it so much.
