I'm not a Mammoth user but on the testservers before and after. I can say it's a lot better with short-ranged guns. Also, it's better in larger maps. However, if you had a medium range gun like Smoky, Rico, or Twins on it, the performance decreased, especially since those guns require a lot of time out of cover.

Let me stop you there/... :ph34r:

Shaft M3 Alteration: Adds Sway Removes Laser Beam Ability to Fire 3 shots in scope mode without exiting Damage Reduced Arcade Shots Drastically Nerfed

Well actually the rockets will try to barrel through the map props instead of being smart and going around where it could inflict splash. ;) I'm sure it takes skill to use effectively, that it's better with skill, that a skilled user can be very dangerous. But the thing is, compared to the other turrets, it is too unpredictable; regarding its potential in any given situation. It's success depends on so much factors outside the users' control that saying it "just needs a bit of skill" is not entirely true.

You need skill, yes, but it also depends very heavily on the changing battle situation- where your opponent is, who he's fighting, etc/

Do you buy crystals or are you a free-player? For a free player the alteration is not worth it. 50k-100k could buy you a lot of upgrades and or garuantee a kit early, etc. ;) For a buyer it definitely improves the performance.

Hornet-Shaft seems to be extremely vulnerable to other Shafts (I'm not talking about stability as a "scout sniper" would only fire at non-threatening targets). Do you equip Shaft protection with it?

The bump is real.

Nice read. Quite long. <_< Good job! :)

And Isida's M2 alt. I don't think Hazel likes isida.

:huh: :mellow: I just died.

You missed the point completely. Well done. :lol:

Most likely gold rains from a friend, or they bought some and dropped it all to themselves to get to the top of the ratings and bump their profile. :D

I_already_won was WO5 2 years ago.

I did have an interesting design for a kit called the "ultimate noob" kit. It's Wasp M0, Shaft MO, and plain Holiday paint, and the turret cannot turn. :ph34r:

I love it when people knock Hammer off aim. :D

Of course, but you have a choice on which battles to join. You don't want to play in that Island CTF, I'm sure there are plenty of sizeable maps out there.

There is not one single Hammer-Thunder module in the game.

Kill-stealing may get you a good D/L but it won't get you a good score. And what if others killsteal, as it will be easier for them with their drugs?

Not really. At Warrant Officer 4 you should be thinking about M1s and M2s. Using an M0 is detrimental to your team. It is that way to prevent higher-level players from buying M0s or M1s and sabotaging their team. In addition, before, you had to pay for the M1, M2, AND M3, but now you can buy the previous modification directly. M1s are relatively cheap. :) Question: Does the mission: "Destroy Enemies while wearing holiday paint" still count after the holidays and celebrations when you can just wear the normal holiday paint? Or does it disappear? Thanks.

:mellow: Having 0 of each supply is not good for Captain....I have about 150 RK, 700 DA, 800 DD, 700 SB, and 500 mines. Being unkillable now might be fun but being un-able to kill when you get higher ranked is really not fun. Especially when you start facing M3s, then drugging M3s, then drugging M4s. You need those drugs to survive. ;)

That was pretty predictable. :lol: I don't know too much about your relationship/ideas exchange with the devs but could you ask them to program it to include all the maps? If not, I'd like to know the reason why. :)

I have a (sort of ) related question: Does the map-making mechanism for standard battles include all the maps? Or does it omit some maps like Lost Temple, Dusseldorf, Camp, etc. My inpression is that it only has a few of the maps to select from and I'd love it if you pressured asked the devs about it, to include them all. Thanks! :)
