Certs

[Winke]

stayed up almost all night, got involved in some nasty warfare was fun. This chick invited me to group with her "Nastyslut" omg she was good. We drove a sunderer, droped in the center of enemy, /g, hide within sunderer and BLAST like a mofo, great technique, Nastyslut knows her snitz. Question, I have 3 certs to spend, I am currently in a MAx suit Comet, and the prequesit of medium assualt. What should I use the 3 certs on??? any advice??

See my huge arse post in reply to the one you started, just made it. But right now you are still learning stuff. What did you see last night that made you thing "gee, that looks like fun". If you like the idea of driving around in a vehicle and blasting, grab the lightning, its a 1 man tank with a cannon and machine gun. You get the hang of driving and at the same time are dependent on someone else to be a gunner.

Or look at one of the "advanced" weapon specs. Altho honestly I wouldn't recommend that until you have enough points to get the reinforced armor AND an advanced infantry spec. The reinforced armor gives you 2 rifle slots, so you can have say a pulsar and the antivehicle cannon, the lasher. Plus it gives more armor.

Right now I'm digging the maxes, and next thing I get will be anti vehicle max so I have all three. Then I'll start respecing out and probaly into support roles like adv medic. I'm hanging on to my mag rider (heavy tank) just cuz I love watching things go boom.

aye.. put it in some form of transportation.. ligthing is a good choice.. it's basiclly like a MAX that can run ppl over =).

The problem with the lightning is, when you are in first person its hard to see where you are going and in third person its hard to see where you are shooting. So really assault vehicles are best with a driver and a gunner. I have the lightning cert on my NC character and it kinda sucks I'm probably gunna unlearn it.

EDIT: Yes! don't learn spec assault or heavy assault until you have reinforced. If you are only gunna carry around one gun you may as well be in a MAX. I strongly suggest people starting out to go MAX cause you can learn it right off the bat and it gives you some serious killing power.

I always start with MAX or reaver cert for easy exp early on then switch over to reinforced/assault when I have the certs points available.

always cange views fro FPV, 3rd POV (ise - and + on the number pad to zoom in and out). easy to get lost in the game..and to get kileld if you don't know your surroundings.

Yeah, I change in and out of modes a lot on the fly. I don't have much issues driving the lightning or tanks, altho the TR's heavy buggy SUCKS in first person (wth is it I can see better when driving a tank, and yet a buggy restricts my view to this narrow slit).

The main reason I change to third person is in heavy traffic areas to make sure I don't run over friendly, or make sure I can strafe sideways over the enemies

I personaly prefer the lightning over, say, the harasser or tr's buggy, because you can rotate without moving forward or backs, this lets you make fine adjustments to your aim if you are blasting from a long range away, or covering an exit.

The one thing I'ld miss about VS is the ability to strafe while in some of their vehicles, man it is so much easier to drive with strafing, IMO.
