View Full Version : Well I broke... I purchased PS...

Yeah... i can't believe it either. After all the PS bashing i've done and now im on Emerald kicking ass.
It's not really my fault. I mean, how could I pass up the $9.99 deal fileplanet had, where you get the game and a month of play?
That's right. There is no way.
So.... anyone on Emerald I can play with? Im totally newbar at the moment. This game is nothing like Tribes, UT, AA, or Halo. It's taking me a bit to work out the damage models.
I joined the TR, they seemed the most conservative.
As for equipment, im messing around with the thumper right now. I like it, but it's kinda easy to FF. Maybe i'll try the rocklet launcher but the reload is really slow.
Oh, and i hate the cycler. I can't kill shit with it. I crouch and burst fire with it for like 5 minutes and i can't kill shit. Then some jerk with a NC medium assault kills me from 50 meters in like 2 seconds.

Meh, it made a difference of over 100 ping.
35 ping compared to 160-200 is more than enough to make a difference.

well Ive been on NC Markov for over a year now, and I had any problems. just my 2 cents.
Im also on TR emerald, only like BR8, but I still play there fairly often.

You sir need to learn how to use it, the cycler is very effective, especialy closer up going full auto with the small COF bloom and right clip/refire rate, and use longer bursts to knock the guasses aim of, you hit him a couple of times and he has to stop firing to let his COF go back down. there is only one hitbox so aim for the body.
Or just go like th rest of TR with Personal shield and HA
Nad your right good ping maskes alot of difference. except in the midddle of the country i don't have much variation

Find an outfit, or else the game will start to suck. Make sure it's an established one (Organized, TS, website, blah blah blah).

Like the Black Widow Company, the Outfit of myself, Dharkbayne, Firefly, Sputty, etc...
I won't go into a whole recruiting spele, but we have everything that Dhark mentioned up there, and much more. Just ditch the Cycler; while the MCG may cost four more points, it has only a marginally shorter range and an amazing ROF. Laterz.

Tek, I thought the same as you for a while. I tried the 10 day thing...and....it was really fun. Got a few real life friends to play as well, HAD A BLAST. Sure there are some things wrong, but the game has improved so much from even the last time I played it. I don't need to play it for another 4 months, I subscribed for 1. But its fun as hell so far.

No offense, because I know you all are great guys, but I personally find bigger Outfits to be much more fun. When you have a good number of people, you can have divisions/task forces/brigades (whatever you want to call them), as well as a very solid chain of command and general ranking system. For those of us who are more militaristic, larger Outfits are generally much better.

CDL isnt big. Tightly knit. I consider that small. I consider tiny like 3 people ^_^
CDL is small enough to keep me all warm and fuzzy inside. :love:

Ive always been attracted to small groups. Id rather be known as me, and have fun with *friends* then be ordered around by some mofo.

I was a Black Hawk for like 6 months, and in that time Ive seen it peak at 20 members online in prime hours, to 2 or 3 members online.

meh, i like BH well enough. I agree with the fact that more members would be nice, but 80% of the NC already belongs to 666th Devil Dawgs, and it's hard to find people who aren't more annoying than some of the members we already have. *cough*xnerd*cough* :love:

EDIT: No seriously... I've seen new players walk into towers wearing no outfit tag and come back out wearing the Devil Dogs tag... I was almsot one of them but I said no to the invite...

Not necessarily... if the larger outfit has really crappy leaders it will suck like hell... quite a few examples come to mind...

Hey, Tek, I saw you in-game today! You gonna' sign up?
Good Outfits.

NC - Sturmgrenadier...IF YOU HAVE $$$$$
VS - Xen of Onslaught/Sons of Vanu.
I used to be NC with my Immortalis Vita breathren, however, our numbers became far too small, and we mergered with SG. According to them, SG is really good.

It's cool to see all the PSU guys in game

I'm in Fallen Soldiers now, I just hung out for a couple hours tonight, but so far they seem top notch. It's an honor. Looks like alot of really good players.
Hey you Hayoo! :D

Cool. The only reason PS gets old is if you're not having fun playing with a few friends. Hell if it wasn't for CDL I wouldn't have played PS this long.

Fallen Soldiers is a great group of guys. I've been with them since it was formed back in July. Wow, End and I will have to think of something special for the anniversary.
I've been out of town the past few days, but I should be back Tuesday night. Hope to see you then, m8.

TeN00b is me, TheN00b :). The URL of the site is in my avatar, but just for easy reference, it's http://theblackwidowcompany.net . Go there, sign up on the Recruiting Forum, and you'll get an in-game invite, access to our Teamspeak server, and access to our member forums, but not our Task Force forums. Thanks!
