Waterson's Redemption on Esamir is a grand infantry brawl. I've only had good fights like that in biolabs. The only thing that annoyed me was snipers. Snipers don't work so well in biolabs.

If you can 'solve the jump puzzle' and work your way on top of the 1st shelf of the tower above the SCU, you're in for some free kills while hiding behind that banner up top. I snuck up there a few times, the best was when we were attacking, and as always they were camping the teleport room. I just worked back to front, engies on turrets, medics sitting still, noone saw their friend die behind them. I think I got 40+ kills. It was like killing NPCs in a single player FPS.
I've probably only played sniper 0.0000005% of my total time. I normally run with a battle rifle(SOAS-20, don't laugh) if we need an infil. Maxxed out motion sensors are OP.

Buddy and I were talking about non-conventional tactics today. We kinda jokingly came up with the "jihad infiltrator". The other day, a squad member ran in front of me as I was tossing C4 into a doorway. I laughed as I noticed this C4 pack stuck to his back and he was running around with it. The lightbulb went off and we discussed, what is to stop a squad of people tossing a load of C4 packs onto an infiltrator, let him steath into an area of high threat / multiple targets and have someone remote detonate the martyr in glorious carnage?
Feasability? Or.. has this been figured out ages ago and I'm still just a noob?

Hah I wonder what happens if the stuck-to-player dies before the detonation. Would it fall to the ground?

I'm a below-average pilot, but love farming with my Banshee. Also the hate tells I get are hilarious. Though I suppose I've earned it *puts on his farmer's hat*

Do you use keyboard+mouse? I have a cheap joystick that I use when I try to fly. Its always neat to fly with joystick. I still suck though. I usually just farm with my mutilator max. Love busting in a room looking like the koolaid man (TR) and just mowing people down.
Looks like Valkyrie comes out tomorrow. 1 forward gun, 4 rumble seats, and they tweaked up survivability and speed. Should be loads of fun.

^ updates appear to be postponed with no ETA yet
It's on their forums in announcements and game update notes... for whatever reason I can't link directly to the post without getting a 403 page?? wut
And then on reddit dcarey posted
"Sorry guys - hit a last minute issue with water not rendering properly. We aren't going to be going out tomorrow morning. I'll have more updates tomorrow on the new timeline. Not ruling out a Friday morning update if we feel confident with things."

I was bored, and had 7k certs sitting around, so spent it all on this 'vehicle', knowing it's probably underpowered.
...Yeah that was an understatement. I swear this thing dies faster than ESFs, and is slower too. I farmed a few of these in my ESF with the INFANTRY farming weapon, and in one clip, killed all the people in the gunner seats, then downed it. Maybe they were worried about having another Harasser episode and released it woefully underpowered?
I do like that you can buy an ability for folks to spawn in it.
Yeah it dies really fast against pretty much any other aircraft. If your side is dominating the air though, it's a rather effective dropship. Saw some NC on emerald use it pretty effectively today to drop AV nests on top of mountains (At Crossroads), or to drop a load of heavies onto enemy vehicle groupings and just destroy everyone (On hossin).
Aside from that it was a valkyrie farmfest. I spent the day running around in a PPA harasser (monstrous hilarious fun solo or with a gunner), and you could taste the disappointment when a Valkyrie was decimated by a PPA. But also incredibly frightening when you have 3 valkyries chasing you with ~9 infantry ready to drop with rockets or missiles and the only thing saving you is a vehicle shield lol.
I can't see them leaving Valkyries like this, it has to be buffed somehow. A wraith cloak would be pretty neat.

It's got an identity crisis right now. If it's supposed to be this flimsy, they need boost the speed/maneuvering by at least 300%. If it's meant to be a drop ship then boost it's resistance by no less than 80%

I do find it funny that they *seem* to be trying to make lockons relevant again by making a vehicle which can get them closer to where air typically plays. Cause as it stands, if an airplane is low enough to be locked on, they either can tank it and not care (lib/gal), or there is plenty of shit to break the locks.
