I find it is the opposite. The game is now mindless and dominated by those using overdrives and pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The first to use an overdrive, wins in 99% of cases.

I noticed it was a bit slow as well... thought it was just me. Oh well not like I'm going to change hull now.

The hornet overdrive is an absolute joke. I'm using m4 hulls (with double armor) and I'm going down in one shot. I thought the whole point of the hornet overdrive was to see through wall, not to be one-shotting everything on the map. As if this game could get any worse. Garbage.

I hate that hornet (the crappiest hull in the game) has been given increased shot damage. So unfair and no point in playing against them if they happen to be buyers. Little hornets should not be destroying m4 vikings and titans in 1 shot.

These overdrives have ruined the game even more (if that is even possible).

I have 200k to burn on a drone... which is best? :D

WorldAdidas is legend 104 and seems to be active at GMT.

Will the last English speaking player please turn out the lights...

Received 125 speed boost containers 3 times in a row. But I just got inferno from the challenges :D

I'm so bored on this game but it's addictive. The matchmaking system desperately needs new maps.

Forest - my most disliked map. I always leave within seconds if I'm dropped into this map. Highland - almost never dropped into this map no matter how much I shop around. Yorkshire - one of the worst maps for blowouts. Red alert - boring. Serpuhov - boring and terrible in assult mode. Barda - decent especially for rail and shaft. Breast - decent. Magistral - kind of boring. Aleksandrovsk - decent. Esplanade - why is this not in MM?

Yes. I've been playing for years and years. Once the addiction wears off I will leave as there is no real enjoyment.

You're wasting your breath. The developers are milking the game for all they can. When it dies they will just work on another game. They don't care about your gameplay experience.

Who cares? It's powerful. Period.

Game has no balance and terrible matchmaking system, but here is the power of the viking alt:

It's really easy to take out 5+ tanks with the overdrive (especially on tribute or kungur). I haven't read the details, but I also seem to do more damage with this overdrive. I have noticed shots that do 7000+ damage (perhaps due to damage pile-up in quick succession... who knows). Anyway I'm getting 20+ kills in CTF no problem.

New MM maps and some nice sales.

It depends on the mode I'm playing in. In DM, mammoth is hands down the best. If enemies are grouped together the otherdrive can earn you lots of kills. If you're close to death, the overdrive keeps you alive until your repair recharges. Also in the past if I was approached by a buyer freeze on full supplies I knew there was nothing I could do. Now I just press shift and they are vaporized. In all other modes viking is best, especially with rail, twins or ricochet.

Overdrives are fun... but still the same old maps...

That's why you need a range of turrets. When you come up against a big buyer just equip something they're not using protection against...

I don't know the difference :P

Forget mammoth... I've caught a load of gold boxes with vikings overdrive. It can obliterate enemies before they even get to the GB.

I've only tried the viking overdrive so far, but it is amazing with twins or railgun. The rate of fire is absolutely insane. It's not so good with magnum as you can't do short ranged shots (?). With hammer I didn't notice much difference... need to try it out more. I haven't come across shaft with rapid fire alt and viking overdrive yet... that must be ridiculous.

It only lasts for about 7 (?) seconds but I really like the viking overdrive with railgun (+ large caliber rounds and double damage). No tank big or small, buyer or otherwise can survive. I can easily take out 5 or more tanks in a few seconds.

I've mentioned it about 10 times but no one ever replied to me. Anyway skyscrapers is quite active on pro battles (around my rank). There is a core of players who play on that map everyday.
