A question for Beta testers! - Page 2

Its ok qui, just so many guys want things their way or they throw a fit, so my apologies being defensive.

The spy isn't overpowered, as we're learning pretty quick. He's still extremely useful in large games, but when you've got a few guys running a tight D, its gets a lot harder to sneak around, just like in TFC. But now you can hide in plain sight and wait for the right opportunity, which is why I can't wait for massive pub games. Doing fast paced testing takes some of the goofing around out of it.

the pyro is just incredible now. he's up there with the soldier in terms of power, and is probably gonna be seen as a defensive class imo, although he could still tear an enemy room apart long enough for a flag runner to get through. fire keeps people busy!

again, the spy is just awesome! in a chaotic situation, he can pretty much do as he pleases, be it disguised or cloaked. the problem is, a good spy is very good at the moment! ask those who have backstabbed me while in the thick of it :/

Thanks for the responce! I'm suprized to hear that you'd want the Sniper tweaked down. I know I don't have the experiance you do with the game, but I just didn't think the tracer would make him that much more powerful.

WOAH!! That's news. I guess you could see it in the videos, thinking back.

Is the skull the final model for the rocket or is that still placeholder (because I think it was in the recent video still). Please say it's not just a placeholder

Lost · 01-15-2007, 08:05 PM

I don't know actually, I like it as well.

o_exoronic · 01-15-2007, 08:12 PM

all the talking about the pyro and spy

what about soldier ?
Hows he's speed , the speed of the rockets ?
Is reloading still that slow as in tfc ?

How are the concs ? more powerfull ? reduced ? the same ?

they said that the rocket reload time was sped up, the rockets are the same speed, and his movement speed is a increment faster. overall FF will have a faster feel then TFC>

RPG is the fucking sex. i dunno how to explain it... someone else can.

You could explain it very well by leaking a video

I'm really glad to see the Pyro getting a boost. They were always underpowered and underplayed. Though I have run into a couple pyro players who were really good with the class.

Seems like the sniper's tracer, by giving away his position, is actually a real hit on the class's usefulness. Nothing more fun that hiding in wacky places and popping people.

Jiggles · 01-16-2007, 02:43 AM

Do you mean the sniper's laser?

o_saberwolf · 01-16-2007, 02:56 AM

I've heard multiple times that FF will be a tad faster then TFC. But if that is so, won't it be extreamly easy to make it past an SG? Or has the SG gotten a speed boost too?

o_()))crayola))_> · 01-16-2007, 04:16 AM

Not a big deal with the Level 7 SG. You can't run by that shit.

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere. I'm 99% sure it's still like it was in TFC.

Lost · 01-16-2007, 12:35 PM

Yep, tested it just to make sure and it is still the same.

So THAT'S what's happening at 1:06 in FFVid.wmv. I couldn't wrap my head around that considering I still had the "all rockets must fly straight" logic in my head. :P
