Well now that I've been in beta a few days playing very nonstop.. I must say, this game really does rule! Tonight I had the fun of a tower standoff, and as many before me have said, this is one of the most enjoyable things about PlanetSide. I spent most of the time running up and down sniping whomever I could (and I did quite well I am glad

) and stepping outside and mowing through the masses. My current favorite config is Reinforced with a bolt driver and a gauss. I've been stocking Cyclers as they're pretty nice too.. The gauss is still my fave though.

Anyway!! on to the Shots. Hopefully, I'll take some more cool ones and keep updating this thread, but for now I'll start with a couple that I'm really proud of. After the heat of the tower standoff let down a bit, I charged out (Surge implant is awesome) to the beach to try to get behind our attackers. I was very successful hehe.

Excuse me Sir, you have something on your shirt...

Ahh, much better!

How much does surge increase running speed? 2x, 3x, 4x, mach1?

BladeRunner · 2003-04-13, 01:54 AM

Hmm I don't know the exact multiplier, and I believe it's different for each armor type. The stamina it drains is also different per armor.

In case you didn't already know, the fastest way to run is with no weapon out. Well with the Reinforced armor, running with no weapon out is bearable but still slow. With Surge, which doesn't drain too quickly by the way, the speed is quite nice. Especially inside..

In agile armor with no weapon out, the speed is very high, and stamina use is even lower.

Sometime I'll do a quick count to see if it's evident what the multiplier is for you.

Ginzue · 2003-04-13, 01:03 PM

Hey, hes in a NC team, there proud if they can say words other than 'boom' 'gun' and 'run'.

Civilian · 2003-04-13, 01:31 PM

Wow, very nice job.

How many "stabs" did it take to kill him?

Terik · 2003-04-13, 02:32 PM

What the? Who the hell fires his weapon in an open field? Its n00bs like ol Cuch there that makes the TR look bad.

BladeRunner · 2003-04-13, 04:35 PM

I had the knife is 2ndary mode.. and it took either 3 or four. I hit him twice before he was able to turn around. You can see he hit me a bit before biting the dust.

Oh, and by the way that wasn't an "open field" it was actually a nice forest-type area pretty far from that tower. He thought he was safely distant.. he was wrong.

More coming soon!

Ahh finally, some more awesome shots.

Well I recently tweaked my config to try Gauss + Thumper on RF, because I was sick of being so futile against MAXs and larger groups.

At first, I wasn't so sure, because the Thumper's projectiles are hard to follow, but after tonight I realized why I will definitely cert in Special Assault. Base defense/assault. We had just captured this base and the Vanu were literally flowing in this one hallway. I turned the corner and originally just saw two running in. I thought, no problem right? So I'm ducking in, launching pinecones at them, and stepping back behind the turn in the hallway. I dispense with those two, and start running down the hall only to see two or three more running in. Truth be told I think I killed at least 8 VS troops in total just from using the thumper effectively and having enough health kits

Here's an action-shot during the fight. Remember just me vs. the flow of the vanu

The rest are all shots from one of the popular tower battles. Hope you enjoy them, I tried to capture the action perfectly

Tower 1
Tower 2
Tower 3
Tower 4
Tower 5
Tower 6
Tower 7

More to come!

Nice asult

.......even tho you are NC and you were blowin up TR....

Vash · 2003-04-17, 03:42 AM

Cool shots Blade

I noticed you weilding the thumper...
I havent used it in combat, and I've only been on the receiving end of it a few times. But just the few times I've encountered it, it seems like it's a really good weapon in the right hands.

So what do you think of it?

BigTony · 2003-04-17, 04:38 AM

O man that looks so sweet, I had a fight today too, we were on Solsar, on an assualt on the technology plant, one of the 3 last facilities owned by TR. We got throught the main gates and swarmed at the main door. I walked up, hacked it open, Then BAM the doors opend and all hell broke loose, yea it was great. i sprinted in cornering the puny little TR with a surpressor, i dont know why but im really good with that gun, its weird. then we pushed our way upstairs, opened the door to the CC and we stuck it out, it was sweet.

Then we were under attack on the west side of the base, i ran over there to give some support, we took down a max with our nades when suddenly i see a flash of red. I instantly turn on my Darklight and appearing are 2 TRs with knives on the walls just crouching. I rail one to the wall, the other pulls out his pistol but i make a few holes in him and snatch his pistol. if u ever get a chance, its a pretty cool weapon. Weeee ill be takin Screenshots tomorrow too hehe
