The New Infiltrator Update!

HiroshiChugi · 2014-02-10, 04:58 PM

I'm just surprised nobody has made a thread on it yet.

Belhade · 2014-02-10, 06:21 PM

Guess it was a stealth patch. (ha ha)

Timealude · 2014-02-10, 07:46 PM

more like infiltrator nerf

almalino · 2014-02-11, 12:25 AM

What changed?

I think they're talking about https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...es-2-6.171852/

But I haven't been on the PTS for a couple weeks.

Except that you won't be able to shoot, as you are cloaked.

Except you'd still need to be a idiot to have a flashlight most of the time as it would need to be on non stop to be useful thus giving away your position and taking away the advantage of a laser sight or forward grip, maybe VS can survive without those but TR and NC NEED those attatchments for most of our guns to not have them shooting at the moon the second we try to shoot people in the foot.

The only use it will have is when a infiltrator is ghost capping a base, no longer will it be impossible to root them out

I was admiring these new changes on PTS, then I took a crossbow bolt in the knee. (NC sniper rifle with shotgun mode?)

ChipMHazard · 2014-02-11, 12:26 PM

They've removed, or are going to, the shotgun mode from the NC snipe.

HiroshiChugi · 2014-02-11, 12:39 PM

I know, it's sad... I still want my shotgun for Infi.

+1 for creativity,
-1 for a bad joke.

they need to buff the stalker cloak. currently (well, when i last tested it about 3 or so days ago on PTS) it drains way too quickly when moving, and hunter cloak even drains slower than it.

right now the stalker cloak is next to useless, as it is too damn slow to use it effectively, especially in a game like this when things happen fast and constantly.

they need to make it so that it drains slower (at the same speed as hunter cloak; apparently it did do that before they patched it to make it UP), maybe have it when you crouch and move you don't loose cloak, and maybe even standing still makes you invisible completely like in PS1.

because right now, the stalker cloak's advantages aren't balanced with having no primary weapon, especially if you have to move at a snail's pace, constantly stopping in order to actually use it effectively.

....unless they changed it already. will maybe check later.

I don't understand... I've read the SOE post and they mention a "known issue" where the primary weapon is locked out. Surely they will fix this issue before it goes live?

I suppose I should jump on the test server to try this stalker cloak out.

I doubt I will use it though as I mainly play Infiltrator to shoot peeps in the head from 200+ metres out. I'm assuming that the stalker cloak is for when you are inside a base and you're creeping around hacking terminals and using your SMG to shoot unsuspecting enemies in the back...

I like the sound of the x-bow... I'll more than likely totally fail with this weapon though because it takes more than one shot to kill someone and I'm useless at close quarters, even when I get the first shot in LOL.

I'm not sure about the new sniper rifles. What are their stats? Again, I should get onto the test server. There's a large download required though and my slow connection is taking ages to get it.
