Yeah I don't remember in game coms being that bad. Used to sound just like TS. I am wondering if it has anything to do with inbound levels coupled with other player's outbound levels.

In light of the recent pounding we took during our PS2 night I made a write up on reddit about a possible change to the Vanu infantry that I think would make an appropriate balance:

Comments here and there are appreciated.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

Near zero bullet drop is nice, but it does nothing for me when the enemy player is able to learn and adjust for their own bullet drop. It's not like I as a Vanu player can somehow learn how to do more damage, or speed up the rate of fire on my gun. Those things will never change despite whatever skill learning curve I do.

Good point  :thumbsup:

We did take a pounding. From an organizational standpoint, it might be better to start peeps off who havent played a bit slower. It is hard to give commands and explain tactics when the conversation is still at, how do I spawn one of those floating boat things and how to I get into the floating boat... o.O

I do agree with the lameness of our perk. Heck even at a distance, it is very difficult to kill the enemy with near zero drop (outside of sniper headshot). Most of the enemy is intelligent enough to realize, hey im getting shot better start running and bunny hopping. This negates any long range accuracy advantage. The benefit is more DPS on the target and kill em before they react.

I was talking about mahoney. JK : ) I think Rinso figured out how to teabag my tank before he managed to get in it. Decepticon knows how to get in the tank, he just prefers to teabag.

I would have been fine if they just decided to basically give us all the same weapons just with difference skins and special effects. Kind of like star wars. Everyone was basically using the same Crap, their beams were just somehow a different color.

Make my bullets purple but dont screw me in the DPS department. Either that or give me greatly reduced full auto spread to ensure more rounds on target.

I've been thinking about it, but I don't want to start from scratch again.

I just think a couple minor changes to the Vanu would give an actual faction perk. Especially when comparing damage and damage drop off rates. It's not about what it takes to get the round on target, but what the round does when it hits the target.
