Interesting. Was an obvious choice before on what to use Lockdown with, now.. Not so much for me.

If they did they'd only have to remove it down the line. The NC would go apeshit.

Liking the notes! Ultra officially a setting, which I'll have to try because when I've done the roundabout way via notepad I've always screwed something up.

Can someone post the new ES MBT weapon models when they can? I'm stuck in work

Also: so long Indar V1.0

Its a shame those animators that had free time not so long ago couldn't have worked on the anchoring TR MAX.
That would have looked cool, no doubt they'll probably get around to it eventually.

Does anyone have a time it takes for a MAX to release from lock down?
Interested to know how long we have to....take them from behind

Well any smart squad that are using lockdown in a building will use walls or take two maxes back to back to create a 360° kill zone.

PS: Do not answer this question it's regarded as high treason to give out this info outside of the TR community

[Snydenthur]

No mention of fixing the lag.

I hope restarting servers does the trick.

Don't be so critical just yet... I'm guessing the "H" in the end of the name suggests that the Harasser versions of these are severely nerfed.

And lo' on the 8th day of the 2nd fortnight, in the month of Maia, there came upon the community a great firestorm.

Of such scale that ne'er before had such been seen. Tears flowed like Rivers, and here and there went the jotnar, into the squares to defile those places with their presence

This is pretty much how I am seeing today happen.

Would certainly be a reasonable expectation.

Aren't the ES anti-tank weapons theoretically balanced with the Halberd anyway? If the Harasser is ok to have the Halberd, I don't necessarily see any balance issue with it getting the ES equivalents.

this is quite possibly the best update so far! from the bug fixes to the lattice, to the changes in falilities and the spawn generator shields, and even the changes in the Crown points, this game is starting to regain my interest again (i lost interest today XD).

i bet this will bring some people back.

oh! and they changed some of the weapon prices? it better be for both certs and SC.... death to 1000c weapons!

You see nothing wrong with a vehicle that runs around at 90+ kph with the Vulcan on it? -_- What game do you play? :P

Well, during the Hrsr test many people pointed out how OP Vulcan and Saron on the Harasser were. This is one of the reasons the ES weapons didn't make it to the first implementation.

Aye, there was a good reason as to why they didn't include the Vulcan when the Harasser was released. I can only think that they have now more or less balanced it properly with this new variant.

I don't play TR, so I've never used the Vulcan, and as a VS I haven't really noticed being killed by it. So overall I have no real opinion on it. I know a lot of people here were outraged by it being mounted on the Harasser, but I've never really seen an explanation why.

I've not used the Halberd that much, but isn't it broadly similar to the Saron HRB (or at least the old version of it)? Slow-firing, hard-hitting anti-armour weapon with OHK vs infantry?

I guess what I want to know is why is it ok for the Harasser to get the Halberd but not the HRB or Saron? Does this mean the HRB and Saron are generally OP compared to the Halberd, or is there something specific that makes them balanced on a MBT but not on a Harasser?

Or is the Harasser having the Halberd already OP? From the number of people who use it, I suspect it probably is, in which case why aren't people complaining about that too?

[wasdie]

I don't get the changes to the Saron and the ML85. I really thought they were good, just needed minor tweaks.

oh, and also the new reloading fix! can't wait, now i will never have to wait until my HA pulls up his rocket launcher after he reloaded it, meaning that i can switch weapons without having to worry about having to reload when switching back during the animation in which he pulls up the launcher back onto his shoulder, this is such a fantastic change, THANK YOU
