Kapow... Zones chain crashing

[madpup]

So today there was a pretty huge battle, I would guess about 50-60 people total. It was between a tower and a base that were very close to each other. At times you would fire a missle, hit the target, and it would blow up 5-10 seconds later!

Kinda scary, since 60 people was a lot, but not nearly as many as I thought was expected...

Here is a screenshot of the radar, there was no good place to take a screenshot that would give a good view of how many people were actually at the battle.

ahhhhhh.... many thanks

side note: havnt heard anything on what people think about he empire specific pistols, how's nc's?

[Squick]

I am NC, and my brother swears on that pistol... I am just not that great with it I guess... It is essentially a 6-shot small shotgun! At point blank range it will kill an infiltrator in one hit usually if all the pellets hit. Against other infantry it takes 3 shots.

The "AMP" pistol's cone of fire expands to about half your screen after only a couple of shots... So if you take a single shot at a time it is nice, but otherwise it is WAY too inaccurate to be usefull.

The Terran pistol is neat because it is fast, really fast... But I like to carry very little ammo, so the NC pistol is my favorite.

Many times I have followed an infiltrator into the command console room where he will stop totally against a wall. I can not see him!

So I will walk the walls until I hit an invisible road block (the infiltrator) and that means I am at point blank range... So I blast him with the shotgun pistol, it works great!

Do you know how the accuracy on the TR pistol is? Thanks for the info by the by

[Zhor_Prime]

TR pistol is my weap of choice when i sneak around cloaked. it has good range, not a bright tracer (IE vanu), a large clip of 20 shots, and refire rate is quick enough to use up close. cone of fire is decently tight unless you're running.

edit: reason why i said large clip of 20 is because the refire rate/damage per hit/clip size comes out pretty good when you're taking somone down vs. the NC scatterpistol where if you don't land really direct shots you might find yourself reloading mid firefight (which i did a bunch if the victim was quick to respond to being shot in the back)

I'll stick to a Gauss and AMP, I plan on being a simple soldier

[Squick]

There will never be an instance that you would want to use an AMP instead of a guass.

I am anti-vehicle, so I do not have room for a guass, so I use that shotgun pistol instead.

Use your pistols spots for something different, if you do not have medical/engineer/hacking then put grenades in those hands.
