Let's Discuss Freeze!

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Even 10% protection will help you big time. hornet m1 and rail m1 on double armor almost always lose to me and i dont need a single supply to kill them. Even m2 rail on DD can't kill me in one shot xD

I already have a 10% Rail module but I find my freeze protection more useful atm.  I will feel more of a difference with an m3 module.

What do you mean? I ranked up like over a month ago. :D

I just made a post on the game discussion forum about this so you can check it out if you like

My modules are all jacked up. I have two with freeze protection but the other turrets are Isida/Fire and Smoky/Fire. The former is useless since Isida is no longer a threat. The latter is okay, but it's my newest and thus weakest MU module.

 

Really need a Freeze, Fire, Vulcan module post rebalance. Freeze is becoming a lot more popular. Fire has made a comeback at M3 - it used to be gone after M2. Vulcan's buff has resulted in two or three of them in a lot of Poly CP battles, which is just maddening for the other team.

 

Back to Freeze - I'm amazed at how well this turret performs. The freezing effect is good but not invincible at M3, yet the damage this thing puts out is just staggering. And I only have about 8 MUs into it. Definitely investing heavily in MUs here this weekend.

...yet the damage this thing puts out is just staggering.,..

Twins does more damage/sec, more damage per minute, and freeze's damage is often less than the stats because the spray waves around under impact force and isn't always on an opponent.  I know that not every twin ball hits but it does have a range advantage as well.

 

To ALL:  THE freeze cone angle still looks as if it can shoot through enemy tanks- this is true but it does no damage.  They changed the way penetration works but not the visual effect.

But since there hasn't been a 50% sale on Modules since the rebalance, Freeze protection is still uncommon.

 

Yeah, I wish the visual was updated to match the damage pattern.

 

I also wish Vulcan would get the same change. Right now once locked on, Vulcan tracks right through other tanks, friend or enemy.

We had the visual updated in the vLog.. maybe the implementation was buggy and therefore skipped.

It is a pure visual, so it is done by the client, and does not add server-lag. the server calculates it anyways (but does not do the graphics around it of course)

Should i MU Freeze M2 a bit more? (btw its 11/50)

I feel freeze is one of the few m2's you should MU because it will be painful fighting m3's with stock m2 freeze..so I would go for it.  Just don't waste your crystals on anything else (new turret, module, etc.)\

 

Also, kind of obvious, but only do it if you plan on using freeze as your main turret.  Look forward to seeing you again in battle! :)

freeze is a very powerful weapon in any combat. just waaayyy expensive

lol what are you saying? freeze m1 and m2 come at the same set of ranks- one of the earliest m2s you can buy.

Freeze m2 is the cheapest m2 but Freeze m3 is the most expensive m3.

I purchased freeze last christmas when it was called noob. Now its one of the best in small maps.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Has this week's nerf really affected Freeze? Is it still good. Still seems good when I get attacked by it.

Yes, it's much less powerful. I notice it. But the main thing is firebird. Firebird is so weak right now. To buff firebird in some way should be at the top of the devs plans.

It's still good but nothing can compensate for a weak team. If I'm in a good team on highland or polygon then freeze can run riot with supplies.

Maybe they have more upgrades but Freeze does not have much issue killing my Isida or smoky. If you don't see them coming you are done.

 

Next module will be FireBird/Freeze/Hammer.

That's the secret to using freeze. If you get close enough then you can circle an enemy without receiving much damage. The wildcard is if they pop a supply kit and un-freeze, and that's why you need supplies of your own to be successful unfortunately.

 

I use freeze when a map is congested but overall I prefer smoky (or ricochet/vulcan if I had them at m3).

[austen_pierce 1,948]

^Freeze is unique in that if you stop firing the moment you see your target pop a repair kit, you work your charge back up enough so you might have enough charge to finish them off even after the RK is done working against you.

The worst, useless, stupid weapon is freeze! :angry:

It is used for noobs, so that they could able to play this game. And also it annoys!

 

Wish that weapon is remove from this game.

The worst, useless, stupid weapon is freeze! :angry: 1. The worst weapon is Firebird. 2. Every weapon is useful in some situations. 3. Please remember it's just a game.

 

It is used for noobs, so that they could able to play this game. That's not true. I've seen many freeze users who were very skilled and/or strategically gifted. Plus, just because freeze doesn't show skill easily like railgun, doesn't mean the user is bad. True, it takes less skill to use effectively on small maps, but that doesn't lead to the conclusion that all freeze users are unskilled.

 

Also, freeze is very hard to use on larger maps.. Imagine being always fired at and not being able to fire back. If the close-ranger has the ability and battlefield awareness to get close to you, he/she deserves the kill.

 

And also it annoys! I know it's annoying when attacked by a freeze, but you know what else is annoying? Being killed as soon as you venture out from cover and not being able to return a shot. Being killed by long-rangers mockingly backing away from your pathetic range.

 

Wish that weapon is remove from this game.   :rolleyes:

^Was obviously relentlessly trolled by a flag camping Mammoth-Freeze. It's okay, we share your pain.

Anyone bought the high pressure pump? Does it increase the freeze effect, or just the damage?

Only the damage from 10-25 meters.
