Am I the only one who thinks armor is stupid as hell? It is basically a cop out for people with less skill then all of us armorless infiltrators???




EDIT: Oh, yeah, and learn how to use the shift key, it makes the little letters at the begining of your sentences big!

OkIMHO cloaking is balanced, I toyed with a cloaker during beta and havnt really touched it since. All they get its a pistol slot and 4 inventory slots. That right there is a huge amount of balance to them. Also two words, NO ARMOR. A good cloaker is the penknife to your decimator, they arnt going to kill a lot of people, but they will make one guy very very dead.

Having said all this a little situational awareness will save you a lot of pain when it comes to cloakers. I usualy spray down CC rooms with a liberal spray of Lead. I keep my eyes peeled for that little red beam, and I usualy get darklight as my second implant. Ammo is cheap if you see a quickly moving blur light it up, better to beg forgiveness from one of your own cloakers then ask permision.

As to cloaking vehicles I have no real complaints other then when i roll over a wraith with a sunderer it should kill the occupant, just my two cents. I dont think they need to be adding any more cloaked vehicles though.

Wouldn't hurt if the Mosquito was cloaked.

Indeed, I would be fine with a bit less drastic armor as well.

Am I the only one who thinks rifles are stupid as hell? Don't you think they are basically just a cop out for people with less skill then us rifleless infiltrators?

Am I the only one who thinks inventory space is stupid as hell? Isn't it basically just a cop out for people with less skill then us infiltrators with tiny little inventorys?

To answer your question, yes, you just might be the only one who thinks that cloaking is stupid and just a cop out for people with no skill.

Sorry for going on and on, I have had a bad day in PS with n00bs. Time for me to go watch a movie and relax.

Gonna have to agree to disagree with you on this one. I dont want any cloaked vehicles to have guns, and I already have a hard enough time killing airpower. A gunless cloaked aircraft i whouldnt mind as much although it'd still be a pain because now cloakers can do their own paradrops, but that's just my complaint. At least when a cloaker bails out of a vehicle now over my tower i can see the plane fly over and blow up and think "Hmmm i wonder if someone bailed"

Hehehe, yeah. I got alot of grief points today. I kept getting run over by friendly vehichles while in my MAX. One person tried to run me over with a wraith. Hehehe, *Dual-Cycler rounds go off* *Wraith Explodes* *MilitantBob Does a tiny dance in his big suit*

I just hate it when they kill you for something they think you did wrong. I was locked down in the CC in front of the door. A guy inside wanted out (wich I didn't know because he was behind me) he didn't ask me to move, he just started to shoot me in the back, then he /tell me that it was my fault for being in the way, I turned around, locked down facing the interior of the CC and wasted him. I have never had as many GP ever as I have today, and it feels soooo good.

Being an effective cloaker takes finesse. you need to know whether or not it's worth the risk to try and knife someone in a group, or use your AMP and blast him. you dont know who has Darklight out of the group unles you see it activated, and by then you're probably screwed. Maxes are the bane of your existence, cause it takes a long time and lots of patience to knife one to death, and shooting just gives you away. so don't bash the stealthy ones, because our only defense is to remain invisible. no armor on the infiltration suit, hence 'suit' rather than 'armored exosuit'.
