My favorite is watching your guys using the 4 shot Jackhammer exploit :rofl:
Nice video though! Its great to see PS getting such exposure

[Firefly]

Yeah I noticed the camera-guy had a nice little surge icon there, along with the Jackhammer. But on the flipside, I saw one TR guy with an MCG rushing around in a crowd of at least four NC, and it took them quite a few shots to kill him. The Reaver pilot who bailed, who I presume was the camera guy, had to be wearing Agile (since rexo don't fit).

Well, to each his own. Congratulations, it's nice to see good publicity for Planetside, even if it was NC. Great work, and maybe some of the other outfits out there can take a page from your book and learn some things. Hopefully some of them will be TR/Emerald. :D

[EVILPIG]

Quad shot is not an exploit. SOE's "fix" will not effect the quad shot--it will just make the already horrendous reload afterwards even worse.

As for the Agile, you can't pilot in Rexo--if you could, I'd be using it.

[Firefly]

Yeah the whole point about the agile...

Surge/Agile/Jackhammer.

[Queensidecastle]

Quad shot is an exploit on the bug where the Jack doesnt have to properly reload, thereby gaining access to what otherwise would not be useable in that form. Choosing to use bugs for an advantage = exploit

[Veteran]

Quad shot isn't an exploit eh? I sense a bit of shame at the fact that someone's kills have been gained through exploitation. Hardcore != exploiter.

It's a triple-barelled shotgun. Where's the fourth bullet come from? A magic bullet perhaps?

Some people just don't get it.

[Queensidecastle]

I know that when I am using my Jackhammer, if I want to, I can quadshot untill my clip is spent. This is contrary to the design and is a documented bug. As I understand it each tripple shot is supposed to require a reload and you dont get to wait till your clip is spent to take care of it if you want to tripple-shot again

[Madcow]

Manitou said leave it alone. Good thing he's not a dev.

[Ghryphen]

I would have like to seen HT interviewed ('lies' would like to have seen a VS outfit interviewed ;)), they have a 10th of the members and are about the only NC that I know the names of the members and avoid them when I see them in-game.

I'd like to see them interview an outfit from each empire. So far the only outfits I have seen interviewed are massive NC outfits. Funny how some of the smaller outfits on Emerald can do what larger outfits can't, or simply lack the organization to. I know outfits who have double-digit numbers and they're climbing the outfit-points ladder or are already in the top twenty (I say top twenty because it was "top ten" before the server merger).

But lest I take away from the recognition, again I say congratulations.

[EVILPIG]

I had never fired a Quad-shot till it became a forum hot topic recently (like a month ago).

You guys seem to have a misconception about how it's supposed to work. If fixed properly, you won't have to reload the clip after a triple. The clip and the barrels are to different things. The way a "quad" should should work, is there should either be the same delay from a normal shot to the triple as there is between two normal shots (reload the one barrel first) or switching fire modes after a normal shot would immediately expell the two remaining barrels (as one is already empty). Either way, I see far too much b1tching about the JH as it is. The MCG is the best HA in the game.

[Veteran]

Why does NC get an alt-fire that increases ROF? It's a clear violation of the (rather stupid) empire flavor.

TR gets ROF bonus. Not NC.

Why is this such a tough call for the devs?

[ObnoxiousFrog]

CDL man, its all about the CDL.

[Madcow]

I always enjoy the number of NC who claim the MCG is the best HA in the game. Humor is good for the soul.

[Onizuka-GTO]

hehe the fact that for the MCG to be anywhere effective, you have to get close and personal, and what do you know? So does the Jackhammer, just one tri-shotgun shot and 40+ MCG rounds later, and your good as dead. :rolleyes:

[EVILPIG]

WOW--this turned into yet another JH whine thread--I should of stuck to the Playskool forums.

If you think the MCG is only effective up close, you don't know how to use it. I keep my locker stocked up with them. My average kills per life are much better with an MCG.

[infinite loop]

Congrats 666th, this is awesome. Any publicity for the game, especially stuff that shows how much fun it can be, is what we need to get more people playing.

To you bitches that like to call people exploiters who use the quad-shot: Shut the fuck up already, seriously. It was not a documented bug until a week or two ago. Before that, there was never a mention from the devs that there was anything wrong with the JH secondary fire. To say people who have gotten kills with it are exploiters is ignorant and blatantly stupid. Just shut up.

[Veteran]

EVILPIG,

For as long as you've crouched in front of spawn tubes with a Jackhammer, you should probably not speak with such arrogance.

[SpunkJackel]

loop, you should chill out a bit. Although you do have a valid point.


And I thought this was a thread about the Gamespot thing, not a place to complain about a make believe shotgun. Everyday this place looks more like the OF.

[EVILPIG]

For as long as you've crouched in front of spawn tubes with a Jackhammer, you should probably not speak with such arrogance.

Yet another noob who knows not the value of "suppression". I suppose you think I should just let you gear up, march upstairs and kill our hacker. :rolleyes:


For those who have replied about the actual topic--thank you. Was a good opportunity to present Planetside in a positive. You certainly don't get that on the official forums, and apparently not here anymore.

[Veteran]

Heh, show the n00bs that exploits make or break PlanetSide.

Nice.

[infinite loop]

Heh, show the n00bs that exploits make or break PlanetSide.

Nice.

Why can't you quit being an ass and recognize something like this as being a huge positive for the game? Sheesh...

[Incompetent]

Yet another noob who knows not the value of "suppression". I suppose you think I should just let you gear up, march upstairs and kill our hacker. Heres another idea, blow up the tube.

[Mudflap]

I'm just hoping that the 666th is happy enough with this publicity to stop recruit-spamming the sanctuary.

[EVILPIG]

Heres another idea, blow up the tube.

Blowing the tubes is all fine and dandy when you have enough personel to blow the tubes and cover them as well. Any single soldier attempting to do this will likely get shot trying. Even with that single Deci squeezed into your Agile, you don't have enough to blow the tubes yourself, so supressing them is the best option.

For a base hack, we blow the tubes. For towers, due to the short hack time, it is better to cover the tubes so that you do not have to fix them after.

[Vis Armata]

I have no comment on the weapons or tactics bit of this thread.

However, I too am glad to see that a major website is taking an interest in the PS community. Exposure like that is undoubtedly good for the game.

[Firefly]

Hey Vis- when is SturmGrenadier get back to BWC about that outfit versus outfit challenge? I was hoping we'd have gotten it hammered out by Thanksgiving... :D

Talk to Vyrus. That's about all I can say.

[Firefly]

I and my outfit commander had been in contact with Intruder1 and I think Grim also occasionally talked to Yomm. Are these guys still active?

[Vis Armata]

Yomm just stepped down after 6 months of service; Vyrus, the former XO, is now the Portal Commander. Intruder had some RL issues, and so he stepped down as well. We are appointing a new PR guy within a few days, though, so watch for that.

The best thing right now would to PM either Vyrus or Rhino (the new Portal XO) on our forums. I'm sure we're up to it, it's just been timing (as you can see). We had a tank match with Golden Triad which was fun (turned into a draw, if I recall). So give it another shot.

[Firefly]

aight tanx yo

[Vis Armata]

Of course.

Now, back to topic. :D

[kidriot]

I would have like to seen HT interviewed ('lies' would like to have seen a VS outfit interviewed ), they have a 10th of the members and are about the only NC that I know the names of the members and avoid them when I see them in-game.

I think I�m the only Ht member who reads these forums so I�ll respond for the outfit.

I agree if the Ht interview were to be a part of a short series on Planetside. Honestly, my first choice for an outfit interview on a major website would have to be Devil Dogs for their sheer size. EvilPig has been around since open beta and to keep an outfit that large and that organized is impressive. EvilPig and Neurocyde made this game look good. Devil Dogs help Planetside population by accepting anybody and training them. They make the game fun. Planetside needs more people and hopefully this video attracted some.

Now, if the website article was titled, �Planetside: Best of the best?� that�s a different story :cool:

[Madcow]

HT gets extra props just because a VS outfit was formed specifically to make fun of their name (Hostile Makeover). You gotta get a lot of hate before somebody takes the time to do that.

They and the 666th are truly the only NC outfits where I can recognize multiple members though, and I don't have an NC character on Markov. The VS/TR outfits I recognize are from seeing outfit names multiple times just by playing those characters. Any NC that I really recognize the names would have to make an impression from the kill spam only, and I do recognize EvilPig and a few of his as well as a few HT guys.

KidRiot I only know from reputation and posting here, I didn't play Markov really before the merger. Wish you were playing just to see how true the stories are. I like that HT has a 'cryogenics' ranking for yourself and a few other members tho.

[Biohazzard56]

I'm just hoping that the 666th is happy enough with this publicity to stop recruit-spamming the sanctuary.

Enough h8 - someone should convert this vid because I dont want to signup for GS

[Seer]

I'd just like to say to the JH whiners in this thread: you're beginning to sound pathological.

Other assorted haters: Just...shut up.

Evilpig and 666: Nice video, I'd give my right arm to appear on Gamespotting.

[Kyonye]

nor do i, and i like downloading Pside videos, they are fun. so please someone convert it :)

[321]

When I click on gamespot it is some body bash thing and your site doesn't work.

Edit: Nevermind.

EDIT (didn't want to double post):
Very impressive especially the part with the huge force. And that you guys have 3 comps where you play PS on the weekends and I only have 2 :(.

[noxious]

Great video thank you for the link.

As for the jackhammer whines. Just drop it and get some skill. I agree it's probably better than my lasher but I don't complain about it because the difference is marginal. If you practice, you can win. I normally try to be a little less crass but I get sick of the balance complaining. It's a game shut up and play it.

[Acaila]

I love how a good, positive thread like this can turn into a whine. This didn't even happen on the OF, for shame. The Gamespot coverage is good news for everyone who plays PS, it is further proof that all the PS doom sayers really are just dragging themselves off of street corners to take a break from screeching about the apocalypse, to screech about how PS is dying.

I thought the movie was good and well presented, kudos.

[SWARM]

{Edited by SWARM: Lost it a little with the anti DD Flames....sorry. Removed. lol}

I've told you several times EP and I'll say it again. You guys worked hard for what you got and you are deserving of everything you got. Good job guys. Keep it up.

[Biohazzard56]

Which proves which we all know

GAMESPOT SUCKS ASS

It's on the 666th website, and I think it's now elsewhere too (no accounts needed)

Hey Vis- when is SturmGrenadier get back to BWC about that outfit versus outfit challenge? I was hoping we'd have gotten it hammered out by Thanksgiving... :D

I'd love to get this hammered out. I know it's been a while, but we've had a change of command. Anyone from BWC still interested?
