I was. I also said however that I would actually have to play it before I made my final decision

I was actually plesantly surprised how little lag I was getting in the larger fights I found myself in. It was still there to be sure, but nothing compared to last week, the week before etc.

Man this is really starting to take shape. Now if I can just get to BR6 and get that anti-stealth implant going, I'll be ready for my new career in anti-stealth defense specialist

I am really loving the matrix system so far. The definitive fronts it creates and the size of the battles are absolutely awesome. Last night TR vs VS on Ishundar and TR vs NC on oshur were some great fights. I need to start paying attention to the NTU levels more though.. nothing like defending a base for an hour and realizing your NTU level is at 10% and then sending an ant out after it's already too late :O

I have to give it

of

! It is really fun now, and the battles are intense. Not to mention I actually saw tanks in action. It was great!

I was always for the lattice system, but I think they need to make the maps awhole bigger.

Honestly, the thinking man's strategy went out the window. It's now a mad dash to get a hack in and spawn the biggest assualt group fast.

Really. I seen people try to get some plans going, but as soon as they hit the ground running, it's kill or be killed. Push as far as you can, and respawn if you die.

I've played everynight (provided the servers are up), and the true winners of the largest battles were the ones with the largest force, period.

It wasn't won by the smartest or sneakiest. It was who could muscle their way to the cc, and then post a huge guard.

I've seen basses surounded by 4 ams'. They won, don't need ntu's there. 3 more ams were waiting incase one went down.

D'oh, I gave away our winning strategy.

There you have it. That's the strategy. Large forces of AMS'

I liked the game without the lattice, and I like it with the lattice. My concerns that it would be too restrictive and would eliminate the smaller battles (that I enjoy every bit as much as the zergfests) were unfounded. You can still find the backwater, but it takes a lot more looking.

lessershade, i was on oshur last nigth for some of those battles... good lord!!! it was also nice to see TR finally start deploying its vehicles.

As for ant runs, we tried several times and got caught with our pants down tryin' to get back.

man an ANT explodes when its charged.

Last night on Oshur (Emerald, not sure what new name is) my squad was pretty much the only TR there for hours. We ended up taking Mithra, posting a few guards then hacking Jamshid. For hours upon hours it was a constant back and forth battle between us and the NC, who usually had most of the continent.

It was until i could finally cert an AMS did we see other organized squads of TR appearing. By then we were, yet again .. attacking Mithra.

I've always been for the matrix system, too bad i'm not in beta. How's the balancing between weapons now? We were hearing a lot of complaints on how the chaingun was over powered and how the gauss was underpowered, how are the weapons now?
