News: RPS interview with Higby - Page 9

TR can't one-shot anything.......You can however run up next to someone and hold down your mouse. Which anyone can do with any weapon.

Magrider is awesome, if you're an awesome gunner you can shoot down everything. With Prowler's we're all "someone pull Skyguard" with Magrider I was like "Reaver down."

I wish I could gun the magrider forever as TR, it's sick. But alas, we do not allow for use of alien tech. Loyalty til death, Legacy of Power,

I believe NapalmEnima is speaking of the MBTs one-shotting, not HA.

I also believe NapalmEnima is a terrible Magrider driver if he's declaring that Magriders can't one-shot infantry. Magriders easily one-shot infantry in large swathes without even clicking the mouse button.

Once upon a time, that was true. The dreaded Mag Mower was a good time for VS and a nightmare to everyone else.

These days, not so much. Collision damage just isn't what it used to be... this based on my experience with VS and NC within the last couple months.

NOTE: Being run over by any tank was fatal at the time, but only the mag-rider could strafe. OTOH, the other two tanks can stop on a dime. Mag riders tend to have issues at speed when come across a mine field.

I see your game Higby, taking a cue from the Mass Effect 1 overheat mechanics, because clearly air cooling is insufficient for such a weapon!

(I also wonder where they would keep all those raptors...)

You did not just go there...

That's the magmower, normal mag's haven't been able to mow a full health infantry for years. The only possible exception might be if you hit with your front right bumper and have them leave through the back left so they get hit twice. Change happened when they made vehicles slow down when they hit infantry.

Unless you hit a cloaker.

This is why the vanu developed color changing armor and use paintball guns
