They're about as strong as a warhawk, so 5 or so swarm or 2 homing would do it, seems fair imo. For some people, like me, its the only way to get ratbastard warhawks down.
i think its fair too
plus they are fairly easy to take out from ground
so all you need is teamwork

Should give you NAT 1. If you still get NAT 3, someone higher up in the connection (ISP, Network admin) has the ports blocked.

Gahh, same results even when I plugged it right to the fiber connection. :(
I hope Incognito can patch this problem or something, cause I don't think my ISP is willing to do something about it...

Yeah, but they aren't in there and you usually don't know they are manned until it is too late. They have an advantage.

I always thought turrets were weak, non moving targets are like gold. In a warhawk/nemesis, the radar is your best friend as you can see any turret. Also using the stealth power up, the yellow missiles and knowing not to fly casually in the centers of the maps are good to practice. Oh yeah, keep low and use pro flight controls.
 
One thing I've observed in CTF games: Why are people not attacking the invading vehicle immediately?

- You're destroying their escape-with-your-flag vehicle.
- You may kill the driver as well.

Unload your grenades, the map will spawn more and you'll keep your flag safe. Machine gun and pistol are last ditch efforts against a vehicle, use them grenades. Although I managed to take out a Warhawk with my machine gun while my team mates were drawing fire. :D

Also, it's funny how many ground troop teamkills, that aren't accidents (HAY GUY LET ME JUMPS IN FRONT OF UR JEEPS!), happen in this damn game.

I was waiting for invaders near our camp, when my own douchebag team mate ran up and grenaded the shit out of me. Guys. Guys. Get off your 13" Black & White television! Incognito couldn't have made the visual differences between Eucadian and Chernovian troops any more distinct. >:O

probably because most of the people had less than 6 days to play the game :).
Give it time, I am sure they will get better at team work, at least we will (GAFu baby!)

Yeah sorry I had to leave.

I must be retarded but I don't see the options to make a server ranked or kick players when I host. Also I seem to be missing the option for dedicated host.

Hey guys...

I NEED A PERSON TO TAKE OVER GAFw PLEASE!!!

Learning the game and playing at a competitive level is taking more time than I am willing to give and I feel GAF deserves a leader who is really "in" to the game...

I have tried and tried to enjoy the game but frustration and confusion are what I get, not enjoyment.

There are some really great players in here that would do so much better than me as Clan Leader.

Please don't be afraid to step up.

:D

Safe Bet

I REALLY don't get your complaining about your supposed lack of skills. You're always placing high in the rankings.

Have there been any server improvement (in terms of getting in a ranked game) in the last day or two? I haven't had the chance to play but I'm thinking of jumping in tonight after studies.

SCEE added few more servers, but the problem is that number of players went up by significant amount...

I can still relativly easily find an spot on SCEA servers though, especially dogfight...

Sony must've had low expectations if they only put up such few servers. Last time I checked the leader boards, there were 70K players

It's tough to find servers when a lot of them won't let you in because your rank is too high. :\

Guess I'll pass on playing tonight and probably for the next week in hopes this stuff will get sorted out.

Last time I tried playing like 2 days ago it probably took me 20 mins to get into a ranked game and those were all dogfight only. Trying to get into a non-dogfight game was impossible. Also got lag followed by server disconnect on the non-ranked servers I tried :\

i dont think any company ever put so much dedicated servers in console game... :D

Here is what the problem is - unlike with Q3A, you can not simply put it on your linux box and run it as server, which is what many ISP's did with PC shooters...

Still, today I saw 1380 servers up...
 
Yeah at first I was worried that my problems were all because of my weak connection atm, but it seems that is only half the problem... :lol

I couldn't finish a single game last night, server disconnects and network timeouts aplenty!

Just check the server names. Usually it'll be a good indication as to what type of game it is. Also, if you do join one, stay in there as when you're into the game, the experience (at least for me) has always been very good. Never been dropped, never had a freeze and lag is never any issue.

GAF_GMT(#2) ranked

What game type?

Avalon said:
I just saw the GT review. This will be my first PS3 game when I get my system next week. :D

Game is the only online game that's hooked me since UT2k4 a bunch of years ago. Awesome when you can actually get on a server and not get dropped!

Have a fun! Enjoy!
Bebpo said:

2 ZONES, 2 CTF and one Dogfight all-vs-all for relaxing purpose :D

Besides, I've noticed that when I play in SCE ranked servers my stats get updated. On the private ones, they dont (or it takes a shitload more time).

Hmm....

Do the maps adjust to the size of the players? Because CTF/Zones is fairly pointless with anything under 12 people.

If it's cool maybe you can throw some DM, TDM into that rotation as well :)

I can only set the map rotation once upon creating the server. I cannot modify the settings. I have to shut it down an create a new one.

I don't see a server by that name.

My filters are all set to all, and in alphabetical order I see Neobolt followed by NeoGoth.

How do you get the servers to be in alphabetical order?

When all servers load, press left on d-pad until you are under server name.

Press Square to sort

Also..


Press R1 to scroll down a room
Press R2 to scroll up a room
Press L1 to go to the top of the room
Press L2 to go to the bottom of the room
