lol Love it! haha
Why do you forsake me Walmart Canada!?! those bonus added Station Cash Cards looked so tasty
It's not just Canada. It's Walmart in general because the place is so damn inconsistent on when and where they put things out on the shelves, especially for a PC game that none of the workers have even heard of. All they even do is point you in the direction of the PC stuff if you ask if they could see if they have any.
Holiday season is the worst at these stores too. So damn annoying.
To those of you have tried both the Cycler TRV and the TAR, which did you like more? I think the TAR is great for all ranges really.
Edit: By the way, this game is the best use of my SSD yet. Holy shit does it make a difference in a game like this.
Thanks. I almost entered it just now without thinking :lol
Yep, first game I've played in which a SSD really makes a large difference.
I almost left a note reminding you to wait until Friday. lol

Been playing Vanu for a bit, tired of unorganized zergs. SOE is advertising the Youtuber battle, and I was thinking about going on that server. Does anyone know which one it is?

So, first time I've seen this. Is this highly prevalent on most servers? I'm 32 now and just never encountered it before.
What are you talkin bout >_<?
Cant tanks just go up the stairs?
Someone want to buy me some walmart cards >.>? Im in Australiaaaaaaa! Paypal you back!
You know the outer walls on the amp stations? The walls inbetween the defense towers (with the AA and Turret cannons). I've seen tanks on that wall, protected by the overhanging portions of the walkway. I have no idea how he got up there. It was when we were attacking the amp station, and it was one of our (Attacking) tanks.

There are multiple console things that I assume were put up there not only as cover but to prevent tanks from just camping out on capture points. They don't seem to matter.

IIRC, dying when you turn the hud off with a bind, it will glitch and you need to restart. Dying with the "No Hud" option in the settings menue, there is no glitch...
Looks like two different commands.
When you die, just remember to toggle back on before it's too late.

Edit: I though for some reason that it was Thursday going into Friday when I posted this and was wondering when 3X started. It was Wednesday when I said this. Dunce cap for me.

Ha I tried that already. Reinstalled drivers, planetside, tried windowed mode. The only thing I hadn't tried yet was starting the launcher with admin privileges and this appears to be working. So simple.

Yea it was confirmed a few days back on the forums by the moderators
god dammit SOE.
well here's hoping for the final day to be 'half off everything'. I'm expecting 4 days of hats again though.
Mattherson is quite competitive, I'd say. Connery, from my experience, has always been a bit of a smoother ride for me, but you can't beat the coordination from Mat.
Go TR on Connery. You know you want to.

it was actually only 15% off and today its 15% off vehicle weapons. Tomorrow will probably 15% of infantry gear and then 15% off vehicle gear

Come to Mattherson if you want the best VS
Wish they'd done the infantry & vehicle weapons starting tomorrow.

You're not setting the bar very high.
Yeah, that's when I'd have SC's. But they probably designed the schedule this way for a reason.

I've dabbled in this game a bit the past week and I gotta admit I do not get it. Hopefully someone here can help me.
My K/D is something like 4 versus 30. It's probably worse. Either an area is empty, or my team is getting slaughtered. I found an empty area to practice my car skills but oh there were some flying planes of death that killed me in 5 seconds.
My gun acts like it shoots pleasant bursts of air at the enemy while they have a super accurate gun of death - I die within .5 seconds of seeing an enemy while I can't take him down.
I get TK'd constantly.
I try to stick with my team and go to where the action is. I'm an old fart who has been playing FPS games online since Duke 3D on Kali. What am I missing here?

You're not playing with a group. Organized play with people communicating with eachother is essential. Set up with a squad from GAF or an outfit elsewhere.
Thanks for all the advice. Sorry for the dumb questions....
I'll look into those upgrades for the LMG. The foregrip reduces recoil/muzzle-climb, I assume? I'm surprised scopes work with all the muzzle flash, but if they do, that sounds like a winner, too.
Again, thanks for all the info.
Yeah, that's the default. I immediately changed it when I couldn't figure out how to jump. Oh, well. I'll change it back.
I suppose I'm mostly Engineer, since that seemed to make sense when piloting. If I decide to try to mix it up more directly, say because my base is being overrun, I tend to go Light Assault. I think I have the best luck with that gun, I might win 25% of my fights, but I think that's the one that obscures the entire target picture with muzzle flash. I have to stop firing to check if the other guy is still in front of me. After I get tired of constantly dying, and if I cant spawn a vehicle, I'll play as an Infiltrator. I live longer that way, mostly because I'm skulking around in the hills.

I like how you say, "The Crown, (of course)". I have no frigging idea where or what the Crown is. : ) I'll poke around on the map. Are we talking about a particular continent here, or are all of those places common to all "maps"?
Again, thanks for all the info.
Hilarious. I can certainly relate. : )
I figure we must have some sort of driver issue that causes enemies to be transparent to our bullets. ; )
I'd be happy to try teaming up with you, but I'm sure I'd actually drag your K/D down even further. I think mine has now been rounded down to zero, so you can't hurt my stats!
Any interest in vehicles? I'm thinking about sinking some of my triple-Walmart-bucks into some sweet, sweet, vehicle upgrades. I could use a gunner, however. Or I could gun. I don't care. We'll be dying in a fiery conflagration, either way!
