They either have to stop me on the grab, have a sentinel shoot me down, or in most cases, I end up having to dodge a barrage of nitron grenades as I sit at my base. Destroying the generators is useless. Have 2-3 of your sentinels constantly killing people taking your flag and roaming your map, and have them strike the enemy flag stand. The general skill level isn't high enough yet or the players haven't figured this out, but once people start getting better at this game the flaws are really going to show. That or ranked matches get implemented, and everyone plays pathfinder and sentinel. If this is the best FPS, I don't want to play FPS's.. Pubs are horrible for everything and destroying the generator is good for preventing the purchase of shrikes. I am hoping that, as people get better, Hi-Rez will better be able to see these problems and will work to fix them. Is there an FPS that is better? | ||

It literally makes my day every time Noobtubers everywhere in Tribes. Just point click and boom. No skill. I hate being the only dedicated non-MW3 gamer in my grade sometimes. | ||

AP or Proximity Grenades for a Soldier that's disrupting enemy flagstand/distracting enemies around their base in general? The default grenades are fine too, but just want to hear opinions on the other two--the only unlocks on soldier that I've never felt I needed right away. | ||

Since the maps in modern warfare are quite small and the gameplay quite slow killing people with grenade launchers is pretty damn easy, so they're known as noobtubes. And anytime anyone ever got killed by one there's an instance uproar of "omg noobtube". It's quite different in Tribes though :> | ||

AP grenades are pretty good, it'll one shot most people. Proximities are more for dueling. Tbh if you want to play around at the enemy base, use raider. Much better than soldier for LO. | ||

Survivalist works, I use bounty hunter (due to me being a shriker, otherwise I'd use something else) and potential energy. Honestly just pick something and potential energy and you should be good. | ||

Safety third and potential energy in combination with jammer pack (which is a must have) is quite good. Raider shines on Crossfire and Arx (maybe Katablabla too). On the other maps i think you are better off with soldier as LO. | ||

Ditch the jammer pack for shield(keep PE) and you'll shine on any map really. Since the open beta I've been called aimbotter noob, airplane hacker(I do wonder how aimbot would work on shrike) and a lot more hilarious things. I just hope we get priv servers this week. | ||

On the maps: I think that Raider is especially good indoors or on maps with small flagspot. Definitely not a very good open field dueller. Atleast i feel i perform better with soldier on drydock and kata. Doesnt mean raider cannot shine on those maps. | ||
