I mean, it clears stand decently well with disco inferno if you're trying to hit timings. I mean, I understand it's outclassed by Raider in almost everything, but with maybe another weapon option for primary? Edit: n/m answered basically while I typed this | ||

Edit: n/m answered basically while I typed this Any class that doesn't have a chaingun probably won't see the light of day in competition. Exception being the technician due to turrets, but thats pretty much faded away in the US scene. It was in the "metagame' so to speak for a while. | ||

The spinfusor velocity normalization is also good. Very cool patch overall, although the lamer part of me will mourn the (rather deserved) Jackal adjustment. | ||

Edit: Also, Blinky: any chance of a recording of that cap route?  | ||

We'll see how much use it'll see now, but it definitely feels like jackal + smoke nades actually might be a better option than fusor + stickies. Edit: Also, Blinky: any chance of a recording of that cap route? Still sticking with Rhino for the consistent damage dealing. It's an almost dead accurate SMG with a high projectile speed and fairly large clip size. It takes down flaggers too effectively for me to give it up. Jackal was definitely OP in its initial form, though. I think this Jackal nerf is kind of... missing the point somewhat, Blizzard style, but it'll do the job. Brute buffs are like taking a paper towel to Hurricane Katrina. The rest of the changes are solid. Not a huge patch, but spinfusors all finally getting the same speed = overdue. | ||

I also seem to be one of the few people who actually like Sunstar and Temple Ruins. Maybe because chasing is easy on those maps, but I don't know. | ||

I can never get a clean grab ;_; I also seem to be one of the few people who actually like Sunstar and Temple Ruins. Maybe because chasing is easy on those maps, but I don't know. I love Temple Ruins simply because as Infiltrator, stalking people in the generator room is incredibly easy, the same is not really true of Arx Novena. | ||

Katabatic: Wonderful, wonderful map, I have several routes from most spawns, and though forcefields and mines can make things difficult, I can usually adjust, and the only good defense against my caps is to spot me in time and either hit me when incoming or shoot the stand as I go for the grab. Arx: Much more easy to defend, and I haven't got the back-to-fronts down properly. side caps are easily shut down with forcefields and mines in the tunnels, though good infils/HO can alleviate that somewhat. Going for front-to-backs/diagonals is doable, usually, but leaves me vulnerable to good chasers. Crossfire: Multiple ways to set up side grabs, though the left-to-rights (from DS view) is kinda iffy, since you need to either go slightly diagonal, or have just the right amount of speed to not hit the protrusion from the ship, and also not hit the other platform. Front-to-backs are usually just for egrabs, since the inside is usually mined/forcefielded to hell and back, and back-to-fronts are not really viable for the same reason. Fun map, all in all. I would've like more space behind the bases though. As it is, it's pretty cramped. Drydock: Such an open stand! The only reason this isn't as easy to cap on as katabatic is because you have the huge mountain just behind the base. Still, there are numerous viable paths, and if there's any HO at all, the stand is more than likely to be constantly clear. Chasers is not as much of a worry, unless I hit a snag of some sort. Temple Ruins: Map of speed! So far the only map I've managed >300 grabs on, but I tend to try to keep my health up when going in for the grab, sacrificing speed. The pillars around the stand are very obnoxious though, and the routes are also kinda limited (or I may just not have found more than a few good ones). Sunstar: I despise this map. Far too small, not enough alternatives when trying to grab, the forcefields shutting down all but a few routes, and now even denying bounces. I should probably just go explore it more, but I simply can't find the hills and general space needed to build speed properly. In general I enjoy the bigger maps much more, though that might be because there are so many people in the public servers. 16v16 on sunstar is just.. ugh.. | ||

The only way I'll reach 150+ is by using thrust pack through one of the tunnels D: but usually the dirty sandrakers aren't dumb enough to let me get away with that. | ||

It still doesn't make it a bad map. I'm also surprised you're still playing the game if the learning curve on caproutes makes maps shitty to you. Really weird mentality. | ||

Really weird mentality. You're quoting the wrong person, bro. Anyway. Spoiler alert: I wasn't serious. Of course it's not a fucking terrible map just because I'm bad at grabbing, jesus christ. I just don't like the map very much. | ||
