I finally understand infiltrators!

[Sleepwalker]

i've used agile for quite a while, and i never thought i'd EVER want to play as an infiltrator. but yesterday, i put on the shifting suit, and vanished into the shadows.

GOD, it's fun.

i'm not a ghost hacker on a mine-layer, but the medical applicator has never been more useful. from hiding in the shadows and bringing me back up to 100% to reviving my teammates IN FULL VIEW of an enemy, i will now and forever be a ghost medic.

plus, the *tink*, *tink*, *tink*, "aaaaugh!" of a knife kill is SOOO satisfying.

the only thing i miss is being able to take out MAXes and vehicles. which is why at BR9 i'm gonna buy AV as an alt. favorite.

okay, just had to say that.
also, stop complaining about darklight, you infils. it's not that hard to get around.

hmm, excellent point. I'd been background considering a medic type character now that they're getting some loving and I'd never seen the point of running out to someone, freshly killed by the enemy, and attempting to rez them. it always seemed to be a quick ticket to the respawn tube.

that ghost medic thing though....excellent idea.

edit: just keep that ass thing on your side of the room, ok?

[Sleepwalker]

also: which one works, infils?
AMP, or empire pistol?
i've been using repeater for the long-range capabilities so far.

First: INfil don't complain about DL that muhc, only n00b infils who run all over the place.

Second: I was a ghost medic FOREVER, and have mentioned it multiple times. He came up with the good idea? Idon't even think i did...

Last: AMP is better for all around, but for other infils to agile empire seems to be better. I'd stick with the AMP if i were you though, we're alread yrestricted on what we can kill as it is.

[SumYungGui]

depends, if you're playing TR (as you appear to be) or NC you can choose between an AMP or your empire pistol. they all perform nicely just in different niches.

if you're VS fuggin forget it and go with an AMP or stockpiles gobs of the other guy's pistols. the beamer is the running gag of planetside for a very good reason.

[Sleepwalker]

of course i'm TR, silly. i'm well aware with the quality of the flashlight.

[ZionsFire]

get combat engineering they can down MAXS via boomers

[Duffman]

NC = use shotgun pistol

TR = i personally perfer the AMP

VS = AMP

[BUGGER]

vs just dont use anythin but the AMP, i mean even ur knif sucks.

[Incompetent]

I always thought infils were little packets of +10 grief that don't seem to understand the combination of two concepts, they have no IFFs at range, and "when in doubt, empty your clip"

[TheRegurgitator]

yeah ur completely exposed

[nonentity]

Two words if you like knifing; melee booster

Sneak up on someone (from behind is safer) and turn melee booster on, once you've got right behind them, flick the knife to secondary fire, two quick stabs, and back to primary.

Reduces noise to a minumum and even an reinforced is down in two

And the VS knife is exactly the same stats as all the others, it's just the aesthetics that differ, but yeah, the beamer sucks, I have about 32 repeaters in my locker (I prefer the TR pistol to the NC because it's more versatile).

[1024]

The VS knife is way better than the others. I so wish i could loot them off corpses.

[Vowels]

For cloaker's weapon of choice, I've always preferred the TR repeater, for range and accuracy. I can see the points on the AMP and the shotpistol and the knife, but if I don't have to be right on top of them to kill them, I prefer it, thus the repeater. Now if only I could get a Predator-style shoulder-mounted blaster...

[aiwest420]

Repeater > amp. by far.

amp is only good at 0-10 meters, while the repeater can own at ranges up to 30m.

my VS alt on werner has half a locker of repeaters


one more thing....if you wont be attacking people much, just use the knife with melee booster implant, so you can carry more ACE's/med appl/bank,etc.
