Any Floodians played it? Is it any good? Worth a download?

I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

No. I think we're just getting started.

Ad Infinitum

I'd play it again if the Flood made one large group.

Dat team killing.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

It's terribly boring alone. If you can find a squad to roll with it's definitely worth the download, that is if your computer can even handle it.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

It's fun, especially if you roll with a platoon or outfit.

I'd play it if I could run it.

It's a ton of fun, and this weekend is Double EXP / Triple Station Cash. I bought a $15 card today, it's a HUGE deal.

I'm New Conglomerate, what does everyone else play?

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

It's worth downloading, but the combat is often so chaotic that it's often hard to tell what's going on. Indoor battles are stupid with a ton of players (Biolabs and bases, among other things) since so many players are crammed into once place and the combat becomes a stalemate and a joke. Frame rates also tank in those instances.

Outdoor combat is really nice with vehicles and when players are going TO bases, though. Groups of players can actually make a difference outdoors and everyone is spaced out.

Unto the Fray we go

IS there any fun for someone who likes to play alone as a saboteur, sniper, or scout?

Red vs Blue Fan. Doc is the best!

It's very fun with a group of 4 or 5 (which is usually how I play it)

No. You cannot play PS2 and expect to have a fun time playing alone.

At least have one other person with you at all times.

It's a team based game, running solo gets you absolutely nowhere.

Encourage friends to get it. It is free after all.

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

Then respond with Adapt.

This, and I'd play as the New Conglomerate. Death to the Imperial Terran republic!

I've played alone as a Sniper a lot. Well, I wasn't truly alone, I would leech on to a larger group of soldiers and I would stay back and pick off the wall of enemies that would arise to counter them.

Going completely alone does nothing. For one, the enemies are going to be where your main force is attacking / defending, so chances are you aren't going to find anyone, and even if you did, if you die, it's a long walk back into enemy territory if you don't control nearby bases or sunderers.

It's definitely not a game you have to 100% communicate with, you just have to coordinate. Are your guys taking the Vanu Archives and are being met with a bunch of supressive fire from people up at the top of the base? Get out a sniper, hide behind rocks, go to work. Is there a massive column of tanks pushing their way into the tech plant? Spawn as an engineer and heal stuff. Lots of dead people? Become a medic.

Not that difficult.

Side Note: I'm suprised the Flood hasn't organized a group which plays on a particular server / faction.

I understand. this game is team based and soloists like myself have no place in it.

I will be sure to stay away from this game.

Yeah, it's definitely not a single player game created to entertain one.
