Hello!

Are gorgons good on NC or do I stick with the shotguns?

>>155022740
The better question is: do you have a choice?

>>155022895
I'm looking to buy max stuff, don't have many certs, but I do want something to work towards. Still need ravens, so I'll probably get them first.

>>155023164
don't buy gorgons, they are meh against everything

>>155023605
Thanks. What are the best shotties for the MAX? Right now I'm functioning on just the default shotgun and the cheapest one for the other arm, forgot what it was.

>>155023164
Honestly if you need something to kill things outside shotgun range just get falcons.

>tfw flak armor is the best MAX option but you need NAR because nobody on NC plays engineer and those who do are too stupid to click on me with repair gun

>>155026496
>nobody on NC plays engineer

The hell server are you on? I see nothign but engineers, ever. No maxes, no heavies, no medics, just engineers. And I play engineer too.

and none of them have maxed ammo pack

>>155026847
Engineer is THE class if you want challenging gameplay in PS2. We talk big, walk big, and carry a huge bag of tricks. Some people can't handle the low health. That's cool. Some people need that kind of "great job everyone, you tried your best so your all winners" kind of gameplay. You're not going to find that on Engineer. This is the adult class. No trophies for second place here. I've played on all the PS2 classes. There are some very good players on the others. But nothing like what we have here. I see players on the other classes who do things that simply would not be possible on Engineer, because if they tried that here they would be destroyed again and again. Engineer players are simply top notch. Whether VS, TR or NC, no other class has the same level of talent. Go ahead, flame me. But if you ever want to improve your score, come play on Engineer for a while, then go back to your old class. Going and playing on Heavy AssSalt or Memefiltrator for me is like playing against bots. Engineer = Hard Mode All the rest = New to FPS games? Play here to begin your adventure.

>>155023876
Well for "WITNESS ME" suicide rushes Hacksaws. If you want to 1v1 other MAX'es Grinders (only Grinders with extended magazines can 1v1 a kinetic 5 MAX).
If you can aim and control your COF Mattocks+slugs. They are great against infantry but you will die to other MAXes.

All the shotguns require extended magazines to be usable

Of course there's going to be exceptions, I was exaggerating. I'm just saying that the common engineer never repairs stuff that isn't their own.

Is it possible to be a MAX main?

>>155030549
yes

>>155030642
Interesting. How many kills do you need to usually get to maintain the 450 nanite cost?

>>155030727
nanites are completely independent from kills or xp or anything else
you get 50 per minute
+25 with a membership
+25 with a resource boost
+0-20 based on territory

>>155030727
You just have to live for 9 minutes each time.

Which for a max main shouldn't be that hard.

Tbh, that's the most low-tech of hacks and not even a real hack for what is worth, just an exploitation of Daybreak's shitty netcode.

>>155057704
Infantry wise it's all the same, but NC lacks a lot in vehicles and secondaries.

TR/VS is also easier cause lots of their stuff relies on splash damage. Splash damage doesn't require you to aim, and it's not affected by lag.

>>155057709

That's too bad. Nothing destroys vehicleblobs harder, and that's with just one valk and maybe 6 guys.

>>155057929
Yeah, I actually got pistol kills and was confused because I'm so used to the shitty NC secondaries. Also, the VS MAX is fucking broken.

>>155058090
by secondaries i mean vehicle secondary weapons not sidearms. NC sidearms are great, probably the best.
NC empire specific stuff is what sucks the most in comparison to TR/VS ones (Phoenix, Aegis, Mjolnir, Enforcer, Vanguard and Reaver being a flying bricks etc)

>>155058486
Ah. I always thought NC pistols kinda sucked but the only one I ever really used was the standard mag-shot, I hear the rebel is good but it seems so inferior to the underboss, and considering that I sometimes run shotguns, the emissary might be my best bet anyway.

>>155058731

They're actually REALLY good aside from the fagscatter, but the NC sidearms are just that much better.

>>155059592
I'm just a shitter then, cause I can't kill shit with the mag shot.

>>155059592

>NC

Meant to say NS. The NS sidearms are better.

>>155059671

200 damage is huge even for primary weapons, and the mag-shot has 15 rounds and is really easy to aim. I don't know what to tell you, man. Are you aiming at their feet or something?

usually just spam click and hip fire like a pleb, maybe the vs pistol is better for that. I can kill with the magshot, the vs pistol just seemed busted to me cause I killed three people in a row with it.

>>155060120
have you tried getting the Desperado? It's a great "panic" sidearm.

>>155060964

I think his problem is that he just can't aim. Maybe he panics at close range or something, but it sounds like he's getting better results out of higher fire rate/mag size, which leads me to think most of his pistol battles are just pray'n'spray.

If that is the case, desperado would just fuck him over even harder. It's got the fire rate, but even less damage and mag size than the mag-shot.

This isn't a problem that can really be solved by just dropping certs/goybucks on a new gun, I think he just needs to work on his aim and staying calm in a fight.

>>155057929
bullshit it is. my ivi kdr on my vs alt is quadruple what it is on my nc.

I do. Commissioner is literally just the mag scatter with slugs, ext mags, and higher damage. It's a direct upgrade in every single way.

iirc, mag scatter was okay for like, a week, when you could OHK with a headshot, if you had the gun inside of their fucking nostril. It's so fucking pointless and bad, now, that I wonder why it's even in the game.

I don't panic in pistol fights, I'm just retarded and spray because its a bad habit that I'll never drop.

>>155065562

Just try aiming, my dude. When you go into fights try to specifically aim for the head. It's going to feel weird for a little bit, but before long you'll start doing it automatically.

You don't necessarily even need to use the sights on pistols, because the hipfire is already ridiculously accurate, just make sure the crosshairs are near their face, rather than their crotch

>>155065846
I tend to aim for the nips. Just bad MW2 USP habits famerino.

>>155066020

I blame the proliferation of "drop shotting" faggots for that particular habit.

Still, I managed to break it, you should be able to do so as well. Have faith

>>155066226
I'll try. Honestly if I can do that and find a way to not get instantly killed by VS smg Infils and find a shotty that can kill VS before their laserguns gooch me I'll be set. Apart from finding an AV option that ain't shit.

>>155097872

>>155097887

Dual Falcons for fucking up players and vehicles. Air will shit on you, but they do that no matter what you do.

>>155098026
Vanu is with you. Stop complaining.

>>155036586
>ESF air superiority only
What if:
1. you only get to fit one weapon on an ESF, either nosecannon or rockets/missiles
2. weapons are strongly biased to either:
- AT (things like pods dealing half damage to infantry)
- AI (most noseguns, can't even deal damage to vehicles or only barely hurt them)
- AA (self explanatory)
- and some universal ones about the power level of basilisk.

This changes two things without fundamentally undermining ESF role:
1. infantry that can survive a mag of an ESF now have a window of opportunity before reload hits
2. ESFs have to specialize and fit for the role. Going AI? Skyguards will wreck you. Going AT? Watch out for lock-ons.
Oh and aerial support role still viable and AA becomes ESFs strongest point

In organized groups you could still pull off whatever you're doing right now, because nothing is taken away from ESF total versatility.
The only thing affected is just how much of that versatility there's packed on a single craft.

>tl;dr: what if ESF are changed so there's emergent counters to them

I can guess well enough to nail people with a q-spot through walls a good 70% of the time

When will gandalf bigsby give more loading screens?

>>155100608
When you code it.

>>155099542
I would like to see this, with weapons balanced as such:

>AT
Rocket pods (close range)
Default nosegun (long range)

>AI
Hornets

>AA
Coyotes (vs large air, long range)
Tomcats (vs ESF, long range)
ES nosegun (vs large air, close range)
Rotary (vs ESF, close range)

>General purpose
Large-mag nosegun

The ES noseguns would no longer have explosive radius and simply instead deal massive damage to large aircraft. The cones of fire between the airhammer and banshee would be equalized, and this would in turn be balanced along with the PPA which would be given a damage falloff distance. That way the ESF has to get into the danger zone of the large aircraft to really capitalize on the massive damage output it would have.

The reason i switched the coyotes and tomcats around is because in my mind, it makes more sense for the ""dumb fire"" weapon to be useful against big slow targets, and the lock-on weapon to be useful against small agile targets. It's really counterintuitive that it's the other way around right now.

never had the money to spare until now for PC gaming and wanna try out some of the things i missed, is it recommended starting PS2 as a total noob with no skills, no map knowledge and no gear now or would it be to steep a learning curve with everyone being all "muh sekrit klub go away"

>>155103112
the game itself hasn't really changed since alpha. it's still the same grandiose battlefield-but-bigger game and i can't help but recommend it to people just because of how big and seamless it is. people's attitudes are like you described but it doesn't really detract from the game experience. just make sure to do two things when you start:

1. Pick the faction you like the most and stick to it. Ignore the shitposters.
2. Do not play on the Miller server. It's infested with russian hackers/lagswitchers.

being a new player isn't really that big of a minus, there are a fuckton of unlocks so it will definitely feel daunting, but i recommend unlocking a couple key things, not necessarily in this order.

1. Maxed heal tool & repair tool
2. AV Mana turret for engineer (basically deployable TOW missiles)
3. Medkits
4. C4 for light assault
5. Tank mines for engineer

these will generally help even out the playfield, especially when dealing with tank zergs. I can also recommend getting your empires AA lockon launcher for heavy, since just locking on to an enemy fighter is often enough for them to buzz off.

also aim better

There are no stupidly OP weapons on infantry with an exception of CQC bolt shitting rifles. Some mechanics are OP like 0.75 ADS movement speed weapons used by subhumans with 20% packet loss and 300 ms latency.

Briggs is objectively the most skilled server.

Quake, CS, LoL and SC2...the toughest and most demanding competitive games on the planet all have one thing in common: Low player counts.

It's this low player count that breeds a special kind of super soldier. No one can afford to be bad when the biggest fights are 4 platoons size.

Cheesy crutches like UBGL, HE lightning and Fury are made useless by small battles favouring exquisite aim with weapons of the highest skill ceiling rather than weapons designed for gibbing large clusters of new players.

Our lack of flak and lock on nests allows our vehicles to excel to their full potential. Our airspace is filled with top tier pilots circling and hovering gracefully around each other with no unfair interruption.

Our tankers can polish their aim to be world best without worrying about finding a rock for cover. Our harasser crews are dedicated AV destroyers of the highest calibre as any AI harasser would be instantly singled out and destroyed by our alert and skillful infantry.

On Briggs, every infantryman is a tactical genius capable of directing multiple squads to victory. Flanks, pushes, counter pushes, tactical redeploys. All of this might sound daunting to a typical Mattherson player but on Briggs this is our bread and butter.

People are building their own minecraft bases at the shittiest choke points in order to completely disable enemy vehicle reinforcements.

Depending on which coast you play on, you're going to be dying constantly to russian hackers or chinese hackers. There's some hot new exploit going around that allows you to literally edit hitboxes client-side, and it's undetectable. It's not uncommon to die instantly to some BR5 HA from 100m because your head hitbox is the size of a sunderer.

That's about it.

That's not true, there's a very distinct difference between the best performing and worst performing firearms.

For example the difference between the best and worst shotguns is 27%, the worst and best LMG is 35%, 26% between worst and best pistol, 18% for SMG's, etc.

What there is not a large difference between are the top few guns in each category, and in some categories - like pistols - it's well balanced enough that the choice between top-end pistols is a matter of taste/preference rather than efficacy.

Top 3 in each category for each faction, VS, NC, TR:
Shotguns: Pandora, Piston, Nighthawk
LMG: Betelgeuse, Godsaw, Butcher
AR: Terminus, Gauss Rifle Burst, T1B Cycler
Pistol: Cerberus, Desperado, Amp
SMG: Eridani, Armistice, Cyclone

There are in some cases 1-2 'sidegrade' options to the above, but you won't be going wrong using the above weapons.

>>155154980
NC shitter here, created a TR alt to find my brother and rek him without knowing it was me, and the CARV is pretty easy. The Orion is easy to use too. The only starter LMG that's difficult to use is the Gauss SAW, and that's only if you aren't smart enough to burst fire.

Still,

>bitching about NC weapons being op

You're TR, go back to whining on reddit, I'm sure werl will give you another buff. Besides, the shotguns don't kill nearly as fast as most VS weapons do close quarters. (Seriously, I love catching a VS unaware with my mauler only for him to turn around and melt me before I can fire all three shots needed to kill him at more than dicksucking distance)

I do it as an NC scatmax. Be aware of your surroundings AT ALL TIMES. Don't let a fairy instagib you. Be cautious around roofs and crowded areas, and don't get greedy. I have gotten tons of certs farming on biolab flight platforms, but you can't really rely on that.

As for certing, I'll be honest, I don't have much unlocked. I have a grinder I use with the default shotgun because it was cheaper. I also use the charge ability, EOD HUD, and NAR (flak is better, but you can't rely on emerald NC engineers).

you shouldn't be taking advice from me because of how shitty my stuff is certed and how new I am, but just remember to not play like an idiot just because you have a big robot suit

Sure, if you know about nine other people also with dual burster maxes.

You on your own? You're nothing to them even if all your shots land.

>>155172931
I love bursters. They aren't nearly as good for killing as the other stuff, but it feels good to make the toilet scum that is AI ESFs squirm.

Right now I'm working on getting a second falcon just for fun, though you can't destroy crowds of people like you can with shotguns. Great against vehicles though.

As for grinders, I'll get a second one with extended mags eventually, since it's the best for killing infantry, like you said. With extended mags, you can kill enemy maxes without having to reload.

>>155173357
You can't do shit against the smart ESFs, though the ones farming infantry are usually dumber than dumb. Sometimes they just crash on their own after shooting them some.

>>155173357
I was fucking around with just one burster one day, on the top of a tower or something, just pelting aircraft with it. I never killed anything, but I got some decent certs off it.

Guass saw requires a lot more finesse than just "burst fire"

You need to burst fire, stop moving while you burst fire, only burst fire 3-5 rounds, turn your shield on when you stop to burst fire - every time or a sniper will kill you, pull down to account for the recoil, and aim at the head to actually push the DPS above what the orion / carv will do at the same range aimed at the body.

The ideal way to use the gauss saw is in fire support positions, you don't want to try and compete in 1vs1's with it, so move as a second-line soldier following someone else. He takes the initial hits for you and you cover him with the accurate mid-range gauss.

The Gauss Saw is very good in the hands of skilled players, and it's absolute ass in the hands of everyone else. So if you're new, get away from it ASAP. If you've been playing for awhile it's the absolute best weapon in the game for cutting your teeth and practicing.

>bullets 4, 6, 8 and 9 land point-blank in the middle of your face, killing you
>no body shots registered at all
>bullets 10-13 all land post-mortem, clearly striking the floor next to your falling body

Playing while giving zero fucks is the only way to play.

Hugging a tree with a betelgeuse while camping a sunderer that spawns br20s is only for scrawny nu males trying to overcompensate for their micro penis.

>Game isn't fun anymore when apparently you can edit files and exploit larger hitboxes.

Thank god the devs focus on important things like buffing the TRAP!

I'm gonna be completely honest.

When I stop caring entirely about my performance, that's always when I have the most fun. I stop pidgeonholing myself into the handful of loadouts and play styles that are easiest to consistently dominate with, and I stop stressing about staying alive and doing everything perfectly.

When this happens, I find myself doing stupid gimmicks that keep a smile plastered onto my face, rather than a stern frown and furrowed brow of concentration.

My shoulders feel lighter, the tension in my body fades away, and I experience no anger when the usual bullshit things happen, because I'm not involved anymore.

I'm just there. Doing whatever. Not caring about K/D.

Too bad that doesn't reward good certs, or this would be the perfect way to play.

Welcome to Planetside 1.
Want to hurrdurr around a continents backside with an ANT, a playlist as long as your arm and burning desire to top-up every last base.
Want to go squad spelunking in a cavern to dredge up that all important module.
Boomer stacking on the off chance you get that perfect flip on a sunderers worth of guys. Roll up an AMS and sniper camp a nowhere hill just so it's yours. Medium assualt fight your way across a road just to get to the other side.

The list of nonsensical things you could do was endless, something different all the time. I really hate devs that don't realise what a gem they have on their hands.

Betties are still fucking broken, people are still just walking, WALKING, over them and taking no damage when they detonate.

It's not a lag issue, I swap to TR or VS and the claymores and proxies are functioning as usual, proxie with it's slight delay while it animates, claymores with their zero delay.

Swap back to NC and betties are going off at the right time, a short delay same as proxies, but they're dealing zero or extremely low damage, even if the target doesn't move away from them.

How the fuck have they managed to do this?

When was the last time YOU died to a betty?

>>155212146
At least Claymores are balanced ;)

>>155204216
>Spotted the micro dick.

>>155212410
Balanced by their obvious "here I am" laserbeams that don't actually appear in-game, amirite?

I never got to play planetside 1.

Guess I missed out. It was an era, and I unfortunately had other concerns for the whole time, to say nothing of PS1 at the height of its glory.

PS2 is actually quite a lot of what I wanted it to be going in, but there's some weird sense of the best of it being hidden behind some kind of bizarre pervasive player attitude that just kind of muddies the whole experience.

Like it COULD be as good as we all want it to be, but the times have changed too much and the people left around are just not the right kind of people.

Does that make any sense?

Anyway, I still love just fucking around with a friend or two and doing sick vehicle stunts in the middle of a huge firefight, or running around as infiltrators/LA's and messing with people, or just crushing tanks from above with galaxies or some shit.

That seems to be the best type of low stress high entertainment fuckery you can squeeze out of PS2 these days.

i've been playing this way since beta

4 years like this. never once have i cared about my k/d ratio, i just do the things that come to me. i'm battle rank 58 and have a 1.0 k/d ratio, 0.5 ivi k/d. i give literally zero fucks, and planetside is all the better in my mind for it.

being NC and taking part in the burger mentality probably helps lighten my mind from the MLG matters

>>155212410
I can't count the number of times I ran right past a claymore and nothing happened. They are the most broken mine in the game and if I weren't playing NC I'd argue they need a buff.

>>155214026
You realise claymores only work in one direction, right?

>>155214026
>I weren't playing NC I'd argue they need a buff.
of course you would
any shiTR would
