Any PS3 Gaffers able to buy parts now? I can't to buy anything other than the ones I unlocked through the pre order DLCs.

Can't you just hold Y+trigger to swap between arm and bay weapons?

The pre-order DLCs unlock most of the starter shop. Kinda ridiculous.
And you can switch them. Triangle + weapon fire (R1/2, L2). Some weapons can't be stowed, if that is the case you can't switch, but those weapons are usually low ammo weapons.
Im using a rifle and Battle Rifle for my main guns, two heat howitzers for my 2 back ups and a heat rocket for my sub.
Using medium legs too.
Basically you and a group of up to 20 people make a squad and you do missions until you earn enough team points to do a conquest mission and take over territory. Each invasion (conquest or not) mission you do is in someone other teams base so if they customize their territory it will be different each time you go in and you want to set yours up to make sure the other team can not win. Its basically a huge territory war, though there is your standard versus if you want that too.
ok, I'm using pretty much the same except for the heat howitzers
I'm using a medium mech with 2 rifles, and 2 battle rifles on the bay.
Online is just fine and the versus is 4v4 (5v5 really but two people need to be commanders)
Any reason why Squads are limited to 20 if the battles are 4v4(5v5 as you say)?
Also do the territories vary widely?
Dont know why its limited to 20, ChromeHounds did the same thing.
There is a decent selection of maps nothing to rave about but its not a bad selection and due to the environments changing all the time the maps never really play the same way twice.
Yeah we still have room
How many spots? Myself and a friend are looking for some people to play with.
We have like 10 more spots.
I'm currently messing with long range ACS and sniper cannons. Thinking I'll be ranged until I get a hang of mid to close range fighting.
Maybe with like 5 left we can set it to screening or password. I still think you should be leader btw

That works for me lol
Most often the Quality Score (Percentage) aligns with the Value Score we give it. However, sometimes a game can be worth more even if the quality isn't 100%.
I haven't played an Armored Core since PS1 days. So I'm a bit weary of buying this one since I heard the last two weren't super incredible from a few friends, even though they invested lots of time into them.
What's a good resource to look at for some video impressions, previews, and maybe a review or two of the game to see if it's worth taking the plunge?

I guess close range would be sub machine guns and shotguns (regardless of TE,CE, or KE type)?

Just got it.
Just got it.
Weapon type wise yea (I'm guessing as I'm still figuring out stuff), but close range also impacts the lock on choice and AP/mobility sacrifices.
Almost have enough points for another conquest mission, get on people!
bah the earliest I can get on is 6pm PST.
i think so

Already call it wraps tonight. I hate that Ive only had time for basically the tutorial and joining Ravens_GAF, but Ill be available all weekend (Saturday-Tuesday!). Look forward to learning the game and getting some games in with everyone although Im sure Ill be a crutch to the team for awhile! lol
I've got a couple hours in now and the learning curve is about what I expected, but I'm enjoying myself just getting used to everything. I've rebuilt my AC 3 times already, and I think I finally have it how I want it (for now anyway). My weapon setup is:
Left hand: Pulse machine gun
Right hand: Battle rifle
Shoulders: Missiles
Right shoulder: Gattling gun
Left shoulder: Beam sword
When I'm around large groups of enemies the gattling gun just tears them up.
As far as controls andw the like, I'm still really clunky with my movement. It's going to take me a while to get used to how these AC's move.
Graphics and the like are OK. Nothing to write home about, but they do the job. The FPS is fine, and I haven't noticed anything distracting yet which is a good sign.
The only issues I really have with the game so far is that you spend so much time loading all the time. Go to a screen and load. Go to the next screen and load. Once you get in the game, you're good, but navigating the menus is a bit of a pain.
Also, the online is a bit wonky right now. Some random disconnections from their servers, and the like. Hopefully they get that taken care of soon.

What is the difference between "Add on", "repaired" and "junk" items? I'm assuming Junk is the starter gear, "Add on" is from DLC?
Yes lol.
Yes, and Yes. "Repaired"s are weapons you get in story missions by being in scanning mode and found AC scraps.
After I get back I need to go ahead and get my stuff set up so I can join.

That round was fucking intense. Our commander sucked and was weird though lol
yeah, one of there guys was running with either that charge laser rifle or plasma, and it really fucks your shit up if you get hit.
Yeah most people dont have TE damage resistance.
Also it takes so damn long for a defense mission to start
Yeah. Managed to sneak behind three of them and took one out with dual-shotguns lol.
Where did you pick up the commander? He seems pretty weird.
