turbocross sounds a lot like the original MNC in a lot of ways, will have to try it before I can say more.
Nice update.

Hm, it'll be interesting to see how the new (old) turrets work in this game. It seems like it'll be harder to justify a long shot or shave ice since they'll be right in the bot lane. I loved using long shots in the original, but it was hard to keep them alive even if they were way in the back.
Really sneaky of them to play off the upgradeable turret bug last week. I certainly didn't see this coming, but in retrospect it's pretty funny.

Not sure if old. They posted a trailer for the new mode.

A 1.7GB map? you are an idiot then. The entire game is 2GB.....

I tried the new game mode tonight... my thoughts? Well, it's pretty fun for the most part. Some classes are supremely overpowered in the new mode. Gunner can now empty his skills(the stomp and missile) and destroy you in the blink of an eye. Tank is also quite powerful. It just needs a lot more balance but I could see myself playing it a lot more than Super Crossfire for awhile. I love the turret buying and upgrading part of it. Just something about those longshot turrets are really cool. I also like the idea of the quickly regenerating HP, though it kind of destroys the need to have a healer/support class and Regenitol vending machines.

About how long will it take to get to agent level 20? I got up to level 5 today in a couple of hours and yeah just want the other TF2 hat at this point.
update: got it, took me about 8.5 hours not counting some time I spent in training.

I asked them today and they said they are working on a patch system that is independent of Steam. Apparently a problem with the way Steam handles patching for UE3.
Thanks for coming to tell us... I'm gonna go play now.

Could it be that more and more people are using hacks?
I played 4 Games today and in 3 of them there was at least someone who somehow regained health, as soon as it depleted a bit. I shot at some guy, he lost like 1/4, but even though no healer was there, he regained it instantly.
Is there even such a hack or am I being paranoid?

It could be you're playing the new mode? In the new mode once you step away from battle you regain health really fast.
I love the new game mode. You feel so god-like playing as a commando(I am Stonebloom). Game was 5v4(us with 4) for the most part and we still crushed them.
Oh, commandos are even stronger in this one? I will never touch it
It's not just commandos though... Everything is so strong. Especially the big guys like Tank and Gunner. The thing is you don't even need healers in this mode so your team can go full-blown offense.

NeoGAF: my new HOME
Sounds kinda awful but awesome at the same time...
Yeah I played a few rounds of turboscross now. Commandos aren't really a problem since they die pretty fast if they make mistakes. It's fast and frantic, but I feel like the turrets have little to no impact as they go down pretty fast. Maybe it's their placement or the maps are not really suited for it, but in classic MNC turret building was much more meaningful imho.

lol, wat
I love Turbocross
I love Turbocross
Buy longshot turrets for the furthest ones out that are hidden from outside the base. I swear, 30-40% of my kills now are from buying the longshot turrets and getting them upgraded. They shell half the map and are super powerful!
Rock-it turrets are also pretty powerful in key positions(maybe furthest ones out that the enemies can see from outside the base).
The only turrets I see no need for are the ice ones.
Edit: YES! Just got Karl Chickey Head as a drop!

So they implemented a mode that's more similar to Original MNC? Might be more interesting for me now, would like drop-in-drop-out MP for it, though.
Kind of pointless since matches in the new game mode can be 3-4 minutes long at their shortest.

The big flaws with turbocross trying to be classic MNC is that the maps are in no way designed for such a thing, there is lack of turret nubs and all of them are in poor locations, for the cost of most of them you might as well just build a level 1 rockit just to stop jackbots so you can shoot them since they have HUGE hp pools in turbocross.
Damage is something like double base damage, problem here is that all classes are balanced for regular damage so gunners become the go-to class, tank becomes a nuke class, sniper can deal damage but sucks in this mode, automatic weapon classes destroy such as assault.
It's there purely to pull in the players who prefer solid pvp instead of bot pushing and the balance is only half way there because of how they have to also keep an eye on super crossfire.

Not a big fan of turbocross. I much the other mode. It feels more like a moba that I can play with my controller.
I disagree with a lot you said there. Longshot turrets are cheap and incredibly useful. Commandos are super-powered monsters in this mode if you can play them right. Sniper is also pretty good in this mode. I recently lead a team to victory as Sniper in Turbocross.

Just started playing SMNC just need to earn enough coins to buy other characters.
I gave the new mode, Turbocross, a whirl last night and hated it. Partly due to the 300 ping (playing on US East server), partly because that bullet gorge map fucking sucks, and mostly because I just felt that it was missing a whole lot. Not enough bots, turrets seemed ineffectual and underutilized and I'm not convinced there is much balance of all the characters.
So I went back to normal mode and enjoyed it a lot more.
I wish MNC wasn't a ghost town
Fixed. So cool to glide around as Leo like fucking Batman.
So Awpteamoose (Alpha Tester and longtime MNC player) has posted a Community Feedback survey for fun each week and I figured GAF would want to throw their 2 cents in about the game. Please only take it once and I'll link the results here.

More like streamrolled by tank.
Note the 10 Assists on Support. Most likely had a Pocket. Teamwork is OP.
It's pretty drastic, but it's not really a reach to say that Assault was absolutely broken with how much he could fly. It's like the guy was absolutely impossible to grapple if he is actively fighting you.

Played 2 games this morning and already annoyed with 2 really stacked teams, it's like matchmaking thinks I can carry 3 or 4 beginners while they go on a 20 death streak. I sometimes feel that they should have looked into the main super crossfire mode more then adding in turbo.
It sounds worse then it is, you can still fly around and shoot just not for 15 seconds like before at level 4 fly, in a way it also makes you use grenade launcher shots while flying instead since you do more damage for the penalty given.
I could see them changing the AR to -0.75.

Fly is an incredibly powerful skill both in terms of mobility and defence. The fact that they're toning down the offensive capabilities of it only seems fair.
