DEEP dive into MAG

Originally posted by aceoblivion Will be getting MAG on day 1 and look forward to seeing you guys on. Valor all the way.

Well, I have more than three alts, so I guess I could do that.  I've been playing under my Insane_NewB recently, because I was gearing for getting and playing Brawl, which I started last night.  It's pretty fun and still fairly active, so it'll probably be Brawl from here until I get MAG, then switching back and forth between both, with a dash of UT3.  Anyhow, if anyone actually has a Wii and Brawl, I'm that noob that always plays as Pit even though I've played the actual game he stared in.

Originally posted by BAIN So couldn't you sign up with all three factions using different PSN accounts? That way you could always play with friends in other factions.

you could do that ... its proly a good idea to eventually choose a faction and use that account to level up.

Exactly Crow, playing UT3 lastnight, going 25 and 0 three times in DM, 25 and 1 two times in DM and 25 and 3 two times in DM I realized there is no one playing the damn game. I'm gonna be playing MAG from here on out.

Any of u guys that are getting MAG and are gonna be Valor you can add me on PSN if you want.

And yeah to add my 2cents, flak cannon is gay in UT3, to me its a noob gun. If you still loose after using that gun then you should go shoot yourself. The gun is horrible and so cheap. Gain some skill.

We should have a clan poll to decide after everybody gets a taste.   Its an important decision it will have an impact on the weapons we have access to and the maps (homebase) that we have to defend.   Im leaning towards SVER. They are like modern Pirates, and Im a drunk.

Pirate, Huh?  Pirates drink rum!!   How many pirates do you know that drink wine from a box, whilst sitting on the couch in their fluffy slippers?

so you want us to do guerrilla warfare?  who made you general???   i think a vote would be a good idea.  i'll set one up soon as a poll for deep

I'll probably see you guys over there. I'm playing alot of Killzone 2 right now and loving it. But it is dying out slowly. I definitely need a new shooter.

Originally posted by Mr-Pa1n and now i´m gonna say what i think on the topic..... that´s just someone b****in about one weapon(or all depending on the person) people dont have fun when there´s so much complaining and moaning about details.....jeez just play the game have fun and respect others i think that isn´t so hard to do

I agree with you Mr. Painindaazz! Just have fun! Kill or be killed... Just don't spawn kill or glitch!

I was thinking about adding this to what I said in Idiot of the day, just so this can stay on topic about a game that's not UT3, but oh well.  It fits more to address it here and I'm not making another thread complaining about to telling people not to complain about certain weapons, because it's pretty much all been said and done.  Flak's okay in the non-killing modes such as CTF, VCTF, Warfare, and to an extent, Greed.  It's a good replacement for an Avril in some cases, especially for smaller vehicles and quite frankly, the main point of those modes is stop the (flag/ orb/ skull) runner at all costs.  If a guy's got 50 - 100 skulls and is about to score, why wouldn't you use the weapon that you feel will mostly stop him dead in his tracks?

In killing modes, the weakness of damaging and possibly killing is usually far offset by its strengths.  I'll use flak when others do or use it when I'm desperate/ pissed, but I won't use it most of time because I don't want to win the DM match because I flak sniped people from behind and get Mega Kills simply because lob flak balls into a group of people fighting.  I'd prefer to earn it.  There's really nothing wrong with others using the flak, but my person preference is usually to not use it.  The point of my original post and the one in idiot of the day was to point out that Flak the closest thing to cheap in UT3.  No other weapon comes close imo, hence the "King" title.  I can think of possible weaknesses to even link spamming a node or large vehicle much easier than I can with the flak in general.

La-men's terms or whatever, me hating on the flak is more of a personal preference and pointing out that it's far more unbalanced than the other so-called cheap weapons.

Edit: Until Fluffy posted, I almost went back to posting in Idiot of the Day.

I'll try to stop talking off-topic now.


EDIT: I'm not complaining about weapons.  I'm complaining about people who complain about weapons.  I'm sorry if my wording sucks, but that's what it was meant to be.  Lol.. the funny thing about most of these people is they're f***ing hypocrites, who will defend using/ spamming the Flak Cannon, but denounce the Link or Core spamming, which tends to be a lot less dangerous at times.  *sigh*  People have their priorities though.  Some use hitscan.  Some use the biggest most powerful gun. (and usually easy to master)  Some use machine guns.  Then, there's me.  I'm the noob that uses a little bit of everything albeit the flak (except when desperate or pissed), but prefers the Stinger and Sniper.
