Yeah, the World of Tanks guys are seriously awesome. I was on their forums for a bit giving the feed back and everytime people started the "nerf this/nerf that" complaints the devs straight up told them "Well.. Maybe you just need to get better at the game. We actively look into fixing bugs and glitches our game has but if you are having problems due to things being "over powered" you're just not as good as other players. Please play something else."

Yea thats pretty damn cool.I was impressed by DICE saying something similar towards BF4. I cant remember what weapon it was specifically but people were whining for a nerf and DICE said something along the lines of, 'nope, thats how the weapon was designed, we think it works perfectly, we aren't altering it'. And DICE has been one of the worst about listening to knee jerk nerf whiners. I mean they nerfed the mortars in BF3 to the point of complete uselessness.

As a HUGE Halo fan I'm utterly disappointed with how 343 listens to the cry baby fanbase. They would nerf things that didn't need nerfing (Tanks for example should be able to last an ENTIRE match if you have a good driver/gunner combo) but noooope.. when 343 started getting complaints that people were "too good" at tanking (seriously, on the halo forums a thread was titled Tanking and filled with people complaining about skilled driver/gunners) 343 nerfed it to where you could take out a Scorpion Tank with two grenades.

Two. Grenades.

Meanwhile they would amp the CRAP out of guns like the BR to where you could just shoot willy nilly and kill a guy in a shot or two.

I was always the sneaky guy in Halo that came up on you with a shotgun and then BLAME.. You're gone.. but then they nerfed the shotgun too.

I'm looking forward to Halo 5.. I'll always have a place on my game shelf for Halo.. but part of me knows I'm just gonna hate the MP 6 months in. Same with Halo 2 HD edition (lets face it.. It's coming) fans of that series utterly ruined a MP I enjoyed since I was playing Halo: CE lan parties when I was 15.

Ah well, at least there's always Destiny.

Yep, people don't like being killed in games. They want to rack up the kills and take very little damage in the process. As soon as they get killed, whatever it is that killed them is OP. Im just waiting for some players to start b****ing that their Stryder is too weak to take on an Ogre and or that the Atlas cant catch a running Stryder etc. I know its coming, if it hasn't started already.

If you're smart and chose the right parts. Niether system comes close to a $500 pc

Agreed, I've not bought either yet & I won't until they significantly drop in price. I think for the money both Sony & Microsoft are charging there should really be an amazing leap forward from the previous versions.. and I personally don't think there is. Not to mention there's no games out for either that aren't available on PC.

Huh? Not many maybe but the PS4 & X1 exclusive games are of course exclusive to those systems.

Been playing nearly all day, so far my highest score on Attrition is 116.

The Smart Pistol is ridiculous, it's like the heartbeat sensor of MW2/MW3 or the Target Finder of Black Ops 2 or the EOD Bot/MAV of BF3/BF4.. it's literally the only weapon so far that is vastly pissing me off. Shotguns as well however I can accept them more as they are only effective in relative close quarters.

Another thing that's disappointed me is the lack of weapons, equipment, "perks" etc. 2 or 3 perks & maybe 2 of each type of weapon ie 2 AR's, 2 SMG's, 2 snipers etc. I'd have liked to have seen a lot more.

However that being said, I have no clue why but it is holding my attention despite Attrition essentially being TDM.. a gamemode I usually find boring in every other shooter I play. Every map is hectic & fast gameplay which suits me down to the ground because on PC I've always been a very fast player in terms of shooters.

I meant none that are out for the PS4 or XB1 that I'm interested in. All the ones that I'm interested in are out on PC.

I don't find that weapon a bother at all. I rarely get killed by someone using that weapon. It takes too long to lock on to a pilot and im generally aware of my surroundings. If someone is coming at me from the front with a smart pistol, they don't have time to let the shots sync before iv already emptied half a clip into em. When im killed by the Smart Pistol, its from the back.

 

[Benstamania]

Oh I HATE the smart pistol. I totally forgot about that piece of crap gun. Every time I go down it's by the smart pistol.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna play the game but I don't feel like trying. At all. So I'm gonna use this cheap gun."

Argh.

It's not that it kills me a lot, it's that I think the idea behind the weapon is idiotic.

The locks are pretty quick, each orange is a hit so basically of you get 2 of those all you've to do is line the crosshair dot up & hit 1 shot.

If ever there was a weapon that is literally skill-less in a game, the Smart Pistol would definitely be it.

I'm a big 343 fan and I completely agree. They need to stick to their guns pun intended. Fans don't like it, get better. Plain and simple

Yea its deff intended to be a gun that the more casual crowd can use, but at the same time its effective in skilled hands. I just don't have an issue with it, because I find the negatives of the weapon outweighs its positives, which is why i don't use it. People just don't like the idea of it auto locking, even though it takes time to line up the shot(much longer than a standard weapon would) and its range is fairly limited.

Oh I HATE the smart pistol. I totally forgot about that piece of crap gun. Every time I go down it's by the smart pistol.

Argh.

Haha, if the weapon was cheap, id get killed by it more often. Im good enough to know how to out shoot a smart pistol user. Unless they come up from behind me, then it doesnt matter what gun they had, they were prob gonna off me.

 

[Benstamania]

No.. No... I don't think it has to do with "outshooting" it's just stand in a window and fire from a distance. Yay insta-headshots.

 

[jacobed]

Killing a person with the smart pistol is not easy even with the attachment. It takes forever to lock on and even when it does the person is moving around so you lose the lock right away. It's my favorite gun. So much fun with the grunts. I rarely get a full lock on a human. Usually just gotta aim Down the sights and shoot

 

[Benstamania]

I'm simply saying I have more people laying back in windows with this thing than snipers. I mean if someone enjoys it more power to them.. But I'm still gonna be half miffed if I'm taken out with one by some lazy dude standing cloaked in a window.

 

[Benstamania]

Also, I find myself turning my Titan on Follow and letting it's do it's thing more than I ride in it.

Odd, no?

 

[jacobed]

Nope I do it quite a bit. Depends how I'm doing on the ground. The fact that its not odd is Respawn's greatest accomplishment

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, can understand that. I'm actually interested in most of them but none are must haves. Even TitanFall i'm getting more because it's a significant gaming event rather than that I'm as excited as I would be for the next Mass Effect or Gears game.

Installing now...and much faster than I expected.

Nope, thats a legit strategy and its one I see used in Last Titan Standing quite frequently(altho i wouldn't recommend it) and one I use ALL the time in Hardpoint. The drawback to that is your Auto Titan is vastly outmatched by a skilled Titan pilot and you are exposing yourself to being blasted by a Titan or another pilot(you also give away your position), but you force the Titan Pilot to focus on two things at once so, like everything else in this game, theres that give and take to the strategy.

No.. No... I don't think it has to do with "outshooting" it's just stand in a window and fire from a distance. Yay insta-headshots.

Haha, it doesn't work that well.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Oh iv been meaning to ask, does anyone else use the bumper jumper controller setting? I find that to be invaluable considering how often im jumping around.

 

[Iceman]

Just tried it and already love this game! Shame I couldn't play long as got to get up early tomorrow but going to get into it tomorrow night. The install from disc took no time at all. Was expecting an overnight job.

Hell yes, ever since Halo 3.

Yea man, sucks you didn't get in any games with us. We all played for like 2-3 hours and wrecked shop for the most part. Played all the game modes, which to my surprise are all incredibly fun. Did not think CTF was gonna be fun here. It deff is tho.

 

[Union Jack]

i got this for my PC..must say its a great game..would've liked a campaign single player mode though...
plus i wish it were on ps4...i like to consolidate all my games on one console..been thinking bout getting the wii U for Mario kart....though if i could get that for PC i wouldn't bother with wii U too...
anyone here got Xbox and ps4?..which do you find yourself drawn to more?

 

[Benstamania]

I have both, drawn more to my PS4 but I'll play the X1 for it's exclusives like this, Halo, etc. All third party stuff is played on my PS4 as well as the Sony stuff.. Obviously.
