I can see a 5th hangar slot all important, for a Death Match. Not sure about this new "prototype weapon," please give a detailed report on this.
This is welcomed ..

The new heavy weapon sounds interesting. But if f damage is a percentage of the bots health then you can't kill anything with it, like Zenos paradox it'll get lower and lower but never reach zero. Unless maybe there's some rounding up in calculated damage. Otherwise you'll have to carry some other weapon to finish them off.
I'm not familiar with the target lock problem, I can already quickly flip through targets. The problem I have is the target jumping when I didn't want it to, like in mid-fire.

A "serious" team deathmatch in this game would be a camping match. In the test server where people aren't taking it that seriously, it could be fun. But if no one wants to die, it'll get boring quick.

The new heavy prototype is a cool idea. But every weapon needs to have a weakness. And how about dealing a percentage of one's CURRENT health level instead of max health? Which means this weapon will be great at reducing super heavy bots but can never kill a bot. So the pilot will need some tactic to always search for higher health opponents. And better team up with another team mate who can "finish a bot" for you? Reasonable twist to a cool weapon concept?

The new Heavy ProtoWep doesn't seem to be one that you group with other weapons of the SAME type... Rather it works in conjunction with other weapons of DIFFERENT types.
i.e. On a Leo with three Pinatas or Magnums... Lancelot with Two Tarans or Orkans.
Clearly being designed as a counter to not only the Dash Meks but also as a deterrent to the dreaded Ancilelot

But if no one wants to die, it'll get boring quick. I hope it goes thru to live server to eliminate the excuse that many clans use when they are caught squad-tanking. It will also be a testosterone releaver for those pilots that feel the insationable need to prove how awesome they are. Pfft. |

I initially thought this is what they meant by "does a % of damage" but it's not really. It's just a % of damage from the max health of the robot. It stays the same, damage by % doesn't decrease as robot loses health (unfortunately. I thought it would be cool if that was how it worked). So basically it consistently does the same amount of damage. The interesting thing is that it would take the same amount of time to kill any bot (i.e. Would take same time to kill fury as it would a stalker, so still has a cool aspect to it). |

What happened to the Tempest and the Medium Zeus Prototype. Those were good. These new pulse weapons are loads of trash. All that will come from them are more TT Furies and other mid-range monsters. I remember that these were leaked about four months ago and not one person accepted the idea with open arms. In fact, most swatted it away. The percentage idea is not terrible, but I don't see it being a viable option in the future, because it's success is solely based on your competition. It would, however, increase the number of light bots due to the fact that they take significantly less damage from it.
I do like the idea of team deathmatch. It is a whole other side. However, it will not be good for the wellbeing of the game. It will cause the standard game mode to be riddled with lights, and heavies, maybe even some mediums, will become obsolete.

But if no one wants to die, it'll get boring quick. Ummmmmmm... definitely NOT how team deathmatch usually plays out in shooter games... This game is different than other shooter games. It's slower paced. Closing the gap is slow and very punishable. People who is intent on not dying or using one bot the whole game can do so in this game if they really want to. They are losers now because of beacons but more people would be inclined to do this in a deathmatch. |

But if no one wants to die, it'll get boring quick. I'm not finding that to be the case. What I do find is that people bunch up more and there are fewer stragglers, because the impetus to be anywhere other than the brawl is gone. No beacons to swing out wide for. Now the only reason people move elsewhere than toward the knot of radar blips is to try to flank, or if they think they can find a good sniper perch, but sine the maps have been limited, there haven't been a lot of great opportunities for sniping. With that said, I do think the beacons add something. It's just an extra element that means you can rarely pin the other team down under your thumb because somebody is going to shoot out for a beacon. I like how that makes the battle range all over the map and allows for more 1v1 and surprising people. |
