Well...
The Helghast have a number of fleets - one was sent to Vekta and got crushed, two were on Home Defence and got crushed, but the best was out of system when the ISA Battlegroup arrived.
I'm not sure how they're going to resolve it - it's interesting.

too much clusterfuck when in small maps, S&D and when a spawn point is thrown near the opposition's camp, i really hate visari hammer where you can only get out of your camp from 2 very tight corridors. defeats the purpose of being strategic really, people just rush in drop a grenade then kill themselves in the process.

The return of Hakka perhaps? He seems the most viable for the UCA with Visari gone.
Would someone agree with me that a max player cap NEEDS to be set for some of the multiplayer maps? Let's say you wanna play the Academy, a max of 24 or something should be allowed on that map (not too familiar with the other small maps yet). Too many clusterfuck situations is making me a bit uninterested in the multiplayer, since ultimately I'm not having as much fun as when playing on the larger maps (that aren't as action-dense).

So when you unlock a combo badge for a specific class, you have immediate access to every other unlocked secondary ability?

They need to add something that shows ping/latency. I think that's huge. As it stands, whenever you join a server you're basically doing it blind, with no real idea of what your connection to it or other players is.

I finished the game in 7 hours flat on my first playthrough. I hope we get some DLC because I really love the single player.

Well, they probably have warm bodies back home - but their army was just reorganised to meet this challenge and roundly pwned. They probably just lost the top 30 to 40 percent of their forces.
Regarding the issue of fleets - believe that the Higs outnumber them. They've been rebuilding their military for YEARS, whilst the ISA have been winding down their fleet. Hell, the ISA had to borrow THIS fleet - and they just lost a chunk of it.

One thing I've yet to see in an FPS (though that may be because I've not played many), is the possibility to interrupt the reloading mechanism with weapons you insert one bullet at a time. Like the shotgun. It's just so incredibly annoying to have ammo run out, and then you'll have to sit through the whole damn animation where he inserts every single bullet into the gun. This is particularly annoying if you only need one more shot to kill the enemy and get to safety to reload completely. You'd think it'd be a good idea to just let the guy shoot as soon as there's a bullet in the shotgun. It'd also look pretty cool.

Since they're supposed the equivelant of militia, I don't think they have anyone left outside pockets of forces, hence the disparity of Sev.
I'm assuming it's up to the UCA/UCN to quell the rebellion

Engineers should have the close range Helghast weapon, or the Shotgun should be tweaked to have a greater damage decrease over range. The Shotgun is over powered when you combine it with holding the Iron Sights button to have it auto aim. They're suppose to be a support role, not a tank of destruction.

It's some lock-on thing when you're holding down the zoom function button (which is just a flashlight for the shotgun), but I personally find it works like ass. I use the default control scheme though so this function is bound to R3 and it's impossible to aim and hold it down at the same time for me (which is still necessary because it doesn't track that well).
I'm not sure why it's in the game, but it sucks right now because a lot of people are complaining about it whether you're using it or not. I wish they'd hurry up and patch it out already.
Wallach said:
It was probably a conscious design not to have that, to make it an important decision as far as when you choose to reload (or switch to a pistol, which is often faster).
I think the shotgun's slow reload is the one specific thing that keeps the weapon balanced, since it's devastating at close-range (and currently has an auto-aim trigger).

That is correct. It is easy to max out a medic, and easy to gain access to the Tactician, Scout, Sab and Assault secondary abilities. So I just tend to use the medic primary mixed with other secondary abilities in order to max those classes out (except for the Scout who works oh so well with their secondary . . .).
Also - I am all for capping the max on certain maps. Corinth, Tharsis and Blood are nigh unplayable with 32 players. 24 would probably work for most maps but Pyrrhus would be a bit barren.
I think it would be great to see a 32 player remake of Corinth, Tharsis and Blood, and a 16 player remake fo Pyrrhus as DLC. If and when I set up servers I will probably either set the player max at 24, or leave out certain maps depending on the selected player amount. Funny enough, I think Radec and Visari actually work with 32 players though it is tight.
And there are multiple ways out of the Visari bases - up the stairs which leads to two exits, or outside which leads to three exits.

Hey Iain,
Any chance you might freelance with GG for KZ3?
Even though I think it would have been nice to have some cutscenes round out the behind the scenes stuff more (between chapters), I loved the dialog. Some of the Higg lines were just awesome when in the heat of battle.
