Cool. BTW, does the sniper rifle allow head shots?

Their are no head shots in PS. They talked about this ad nauseum in the forums. Basically with the amout of people online it would be too hard to track head shots. One sniper hit will bring the target down to 33%. So if you have a full health target it's 2 sniper shots to bring them down.

That's fair enough. I'd like to see some kind of camo-chameleon suit though and the ability to go prone - that would be cool.

I haven't seen many snipers in the game - but that must confirm that we don't need camo suits.

Ooh, the news for Wed the 28th reads:

Maybe I can stay on for more than 10-20 minutes at a time!

And Dowding... reading "camo-chameleon" put a song in my head...

"camo camo camo camo camo chameeee-leeeeoooooooon"

Bit the bullet, payed the cash, downloading it now based on what you guys have said. Nascar 2003 is a fun distraction. So is MOHAA but neither have lit the fire. Hopeing this 1.33Gb is worth it

At least it's Trinity up ATM so I'm not missing much.

The only ones that sniper can bring down in one shot are the guys in the infiltration suits. They're a little hard to hit though because they move so damn fast and the way the CoF is set up, it's very hard to track moving targets.

The infiltration suit lets you do that. When you are standing still in one, you are virtually impossible to see. It's only when you move that you'll see a burry shape of someone cloaked in the infiltration suit.

as long as you or someone in your squad is in the base at the beginning of the hack you get exp. No longer does your squad have to have the "hack". That lead to rampant TK'ing to get the exp. Pre Lattice days the game bored me to tears, rarely did i find fights. Sure we jumped around a lot and racked up hack exp but it was just musical bases. Now its like crack, big battles and tactics are actually needed.

Too many people spawn and charge the front. Look what happens to a battle when a squad flanks or comes in from the rear, ends the battle fast. I have toons on other servers to but citrine is my main.

Been testing a couple months now

I restarted my charater on Markov since I screwed up some things. Oct or anyone else, you can catch me playing mainly on Markov. Also right now I'm creating different chars and trying out different jobs like Hackers and sniping. My main charaters name is still Beefcake though.

My only problem was the damn multi-gig download when I got into the exclusive beta period. Took almost 9 hours to download the game.

ack-ack

Well the server came up at 8... I log on, fight for 10 minutes, and boot! Gawd this is annoying.
