So, I finally got a device able to do screen recordings - it's smaller (9.7") than the one I usually play on (12.9") and as such I'm really awful! The controls are placed all wrong and I have no peripheral vision 
That said, I did manage to catch an example of something I've been wanting to show for a long time:
The situation here is that I have a fresh plasma ancilot on my left while there's an rdb griff on my right. Jumping to attack the griff is suicide and so is confronting the lance head-on. The clip shows how you can use the cover to corner shoot while bypassing the lances shield - by locking on to something at a slightly different altitude (or with even a slightly different center point), the plasma weapons will have a vertical aim that hits a part of the lance which isn't shielded. Would take forever to kill a lance like that (don't go head-to-head!) but in this example I do manage to take off about 30% of his health with one salvo, which is obviously better than just shooting at his shield. |

Wow just taught me something new today! Do you think this works for all Plasma platforms or just the Plasma Griffin?

Holy smokes! This is brilliant. So the key is to lock onto another red that is slightly below the lance Vertical position?

Nix is my hero and go-to guy for anything Griffin related.

Thanks J. Khoo  Not a lot of griffins in this one, but did do a lot of damage. I think this one is a good example of a game where there are a lot of good moves but also too many small mistakes, the kind that you don’t really notice while playing but that are obvious when watching it afterwards. |
