koolest one is the manta
looks real slick B)
-
Well now that I've learned to control the Raptor, its pretty cool, and its very cool to shoot down an enemy Raptor and hear "Top Gun!" in that UT-Anouncer guy voice.
The Manta is pretty cool, very speedy, although I havn't gotten the hang of buzzing people down yet.
The tank is one of my favotires, along with the Raptor, as its pretty damn powerful.
The Hell-somethingerother, the Humvee with the lazers and such on it, is pretty cool, atlhough I don't use it often because the driver doesn't have a weapon and its kinda hard to get someone to hop in sometimes.
Neat little thing with the Hell-somethingerother, when you hop into the drivers seat, the license plate changes to your name. At least, it did for me.
-
with the manta you can either pancake people - jump up with it, and smash down...or...
you can simply drive into people while holding crouch(makes you stay very close to the ground)
i like the Manta for Antiinfantry
the Tank since it is as grimm mentioned - really powerfull
the Raptor is neat too
-
i llike the scopian, the blades just own :p,
-
The only thing that would make the scorpian sexyer is if it hovared without flapping.
:p .
-
I love them all. I just hop in what I see since they're all fun to use. Now that I have the hang of the game, it's quite fun to play I think. And if you got your team really coordinated, you could do all sorts of stuff.
-
I saw the blades on the scorpion and I just jizzed my pants. My fav tho would be the manza I dont even use it the much but SO awesome running and smashing people works alot better than the sorp blades
-
lol i like how the hell dealy puts ur name on the license plate ,
i noticed that and im like " wth !? howd my name get there !! "
the laser canon on its back is great too , i shot down grimm in a raptor with 2 loaded charges from that bad boy today :p
real kewl
and the buggy is neat , hard to handle tho
kick ass blades >:D
-
i am liking the hellhound now, its great for taking out nodes from far away, and raming into big messes of people
-
Yea, we've determined that the Hellbender (yes, thats its correct name, Hellbender) puts the driver's name on the license plate. I had a shot of it with Isamil's name on it, but my weapon crosshair is in the way...
Oh, and the Raptor can pancake people too. I was in a game earlier today where an enemy was using the camera mode of the redeemer, so I hovered right above him and SLAMMED down on him hard. "PANCAKE!!!". Twas very cool.
-
The manta pisses me off.. Its a bit unbalaced.. You can't really attack it as infantry, especially in the bases.. Over all, I would compare it to a 1.04 onos... just double the speed, add instant kill and make it so the onos can hover and go pretty much where ever it wants.
-
yeah , raptors good for sliding and grinding people , gotta know how to use it right tho..
-
are we talking mantas or raptors here? ^^;
Raptors are the sorta flying things while mantas are the hovercraft thingies.
Mantas I have problems with mainly because they're so fast you can't hit them with avrils easily or much else. If you're in a turret the mantas are poop though =3
As for raptors they're just avril fodder... but if you don't have an avril (I ALWAYS pick one up before I go anywhere) then you're in deep doodoo =P
for extra fun you can do slide turns in the hellwhatever and scorpion if you hold space while turning. If you're good you can 180 real fast ^_^
-
I love the manta , and i know lito loves the manta aswell ^_^ , one time i was getting shot down by some avrils in my raptor and i jumped out and the raptor pancaeked somebody :p
-
tank tank tank tank tank! (which is exactly what you'll hear me voice spamming in game)
I love the tank and want it's tankbabies, I just sit on top of a hill or something and use it as artillery
<3
-
if by "love" you mean kissing the front bumper of sonic's manta at full speed. then yes.
Manta > all
-
I'm with Jefe on the tank, at some points I get to be a major Goliath whore.
One game I got about ten to fifteen kills in the tank before someone got me, everyone was like "DAMNIT GRIMM!!!". At one point, I was constantly aiming at and destroying the Raptor in the enemy base, so I was dead on every time and it gets destroyed in one shot. One of the times, apparently somebody tried to get into it just before I fired, and I started laughing as I heard the announcer voice shout "Eagle Eye!!!"
:lol:
There are a lot of nice spots to sit and fire at enemies from long disance with the tank as if it were artillery, as Jefe mentioned. Great fun, great fun.
-
lol, I hate the tank XD
if someone gets in it it's damn hard to get them out without another vehicle or a safe avril position (is there such a thing? =3 ).
I've heard the goliath can be deployed or something? Anyone worked out how to do it? It's even mentioned in the tips thingy but no mention of how o.O
-
THE tank... bam... bam... Double kill!!! ... bam ... Multi kill!!!
You get the picture :p
-
The lightning gun is anti-vehicle too, which is just lame... a dozen shots kills the tank. Such BS.
Oh, and my fav is the gunner position on the tank... I feel like Simmons from RvB when I'm in it, I just start firing and don't stop until we're destroyed, shooting anything I see :D
-
my favorite vehichle is the REDEEMER BABY
*hides in flameproof bunker in flameproof closet underneath a flameproof blanket wearing a flameproof suit clutching a fire extinguisher *
-
I think it's the Leviathan that can be deployed, not the tank.
The Leviathan is a 5 man death machine that is described as "being able to level entire cities."
OMG BAALANCE!
-
Speaking of that, I really want to try out the rest of the vehicles. When is the game supposed to come out anyway?
-
welllll , gamespot says on 3/16/04 . . .
so within the next month XDDD
first game ima try is some space battle of sorts !! cuz that looks great
-
the 'rest' of the vehicles is a mixture of disappointment and 'OMG'. 1 is a spacefighter (cool but not wow), one is the leviathan which I confused with the goliath (black hole gun... redeemers? who needs em? XD ) and one that I feel cheated they included as a vehicle; the unmanned bomber plane. That's right... they counted the plane that nukes your target when you're weilding an ion painter as a vehicle; one of the 9 =/
I'm thinking I missed out a vehicle... ~blink~ is there a dropship or something?
-
I can't wait for modders to get a hold of this...
TAC:UT! WOO HOO!
-
this will be the first game in a long time that ive bought, but its definantly gonna occupy many hours of should-be study time in college
-
gemniosity , theres 2 space fighters . .
in the 2k4 demo folders thers a whole manual that shows all the vehicles XD

I love flying the redemmer around
-
The manta is great but nothing beats when you actually get 3 people to fully man the hellbender. Thats some fun stuff.
-
wait till the leviathan gets a good fully manned crew in the full game . .
thatll be tough to stop >:D

Not really, some dick with a lightning gun will probably be able to kill it in one shot >:(
In case you didn't find out, the goliath can take two ion blasts... but a lightning rifle completely pwns it. This game has such terrible balance...
-
manta > you ^_^

-
yeah, the lightning gun is a bit overpowered against vehicles
they gota fix that...
-
Yea, a Goliath shouldn't go down to 12 lightning shots.
And why in the hell does a Goliath go down to a Redeemer shot, but a Raptor doesnt?
-
if a redeemer rocket hits a vehicle it explodes, same like an avril sort of but with minimal damage.
if the redeemer explodes next to a vehicle , the vehicle gets really hurt.
thats what ive experienced so far...
-
I've tested it on a few occasions, actually. Tanks are wiped out completely and nearly immediately, Raptors are left with enough health left to need an Avril to take it down in one more hit.
-
Well if we really are being pedantic all the vehicles should "die" when in the area of a redeemer explosion.
If not from the blast but the EMP given off by it.
-
As for raptors they're just avril fodder... but if you don't have an avril (I ALWAYS pick one up before I go anywhere) then you're in deep doodoo =P
You just need a strong strafe relative to the missiles and you can avoid them indefinitely - and/or you can use the enviroment to get rid of them. They're really only dangerous if you went somewhere and sat still.
Generally I'm no big fan of their air-vehicle handling though. It feeling sluggish is okay, but when a purely action-oriented controls layout comes sluggish like that its just stupid. Give me instruments and sensible controls if I'm already supposed to deal with inertia.
And to whoever had problems with gunning the Hellbender, just hit 1-3 for the different positions in it. Yay.

SO THATS HOW!
