Ugh....I will continue to say turrets are weaksauce. If they were going to incorporate a Killzone option they should have made it take as long to set it up. Not just press a button and boom its good to go.

Glad to hear they're lowering the health on it but I still say it should be removed altogether from DM's.

I do agree there should be a set up time for it, at the very least, as in CoD, placement required. The instant drop Kamakazi style turrets are lame.

on the flipside i am seeing way less people toting around a wildfire.

I'm sure there's been discussion on this, but since I'm fairly new to R3 online:

Am I the only one that can never get a game unless I choose "Anything"

Sometimes I just want to play TDM. I can't stand plain ol' Deathmatch. I'm into team cooperation.

All I play is TDM and I never have a problem finding a match. I am HOPING that people are just waiting for patch 1.05 to come out. If that really does fix the extant issues then maybe the game will fill up again.

The first thing I always choose is TDM, but I get dropped into an empty lobby. I've let it sit for several minutes, and I sometimes get another person or two, but they immediately leave when they see a near empty lobby. I wonder what's going on, and why I can't get into strictly TDM matches.

That's odd. I almost never have that problem. Are you playing at "off" times like morning EST or something?

i have no problems finding TDM, DM and DM small games
unless somethings changed over the weekend.

idk i pretty much always search anything
unless i am in a party and they want TDM

Well, last night I grouped up with some clan members that are of a much higher level than me. Since I've found out that lobbying with them forces me to lobby with other much higher leveled players, I think I've figured out the problem. We had no problems last night, so I think that the lower levels like me frequent the "Any" selection and ignore the TDM selection for the most part. So, this should resolve itself as I gain levels and start to get lobbied with higher level players.

Man, I'm such a noob. lol

nah, the best part of getting into a game is learning the mechanics behind it.

i may be wrong, but i think it lobby's based on the party leaders lvl. sooo, if we make you party lead, we'll be up against players closer to your caliber/lvl. im not sure how fair itll be with us being higher lvl, but J remnanted so hes technically lower than you right now

I would have always expected no problems getting into a TDM lobby no matter what level you are? Sucks that it was an issue for ya. I find Small DM's are getting harder and hard to find unfortunately

Regular DM's, though are still solid, mhmm.

Still WAY too much turret uses for my liking, mhmm.

hopefully in 1.05....

ggs last night guys.

Wow, there is a serious lobby balance problem. Out of the dozen games I've played today, 4 of them had 8 vs 2 lobbies, and it doesn't seem to refill them while in game. Clan games are a must! lol

it depends on the time and what mode you are in. I only go with the "anything" option now and have fairly good luck. good variety and the lobby usually stays full unless one team gets stomped badly and the rage quitting begins. but as long as the game has been out there has been problems with evening out the levels

i will only remnant 5 times to get the grim skin.
its just so much work in the low levels i have run dbl negs all this remnant
and my KD has not dropped so i think i have done well i just have not enjoyed
the challenge coz of the low level perks are crap .


question .

does air cool barrel make a difference to these guns

marksman
mutator
magnum
deadeye
i have seen people using ACB with theses weapons but its meant to speed up the fire rate
but if the fire rate is controlled by the player pushing the button to fire each shot how does ACB help?

same question but for

Atomizer
cryogun

hmm i looked around on the internet and havent found anything reliable. will have to test some out. i have seen people using acb on the marksman though.

productive day the other day got my second Epidemic
and my third knock out the five melee kills in one life

I have another question of my own, but I'm not sure if its just a problem with the move. Whenever I use the marksman, I find that it doesn't fire off as quickly as it should. I'll get one burst and then try hitting the button several more times before the second burst fires, but by that time I'm usually dead. I know that it fires in three round bursts, with a slight pause. Sometimes it fires fine, other times it seems to freeze for a couple seconds before it kicks back in with the second burst. Anyone else have this issue, or is it probably another Move issue?

Seems like a Move issue to me. I can fire the marksman really fast with a DS3.

it's like

At the speed it takes you to read those .

lol, nice. Well, I have better luck with other guns anyway. I just wish that the online wasn't so unfriendly to new players. The first few levels I was lobbied with people of relative level. Ever since I hit about level 12, all I'm stuck with is higher leveled players that spam turrets, wildeyes or the atomizer. I play about 30 minutes worth and then am so disgusted with it that I can't force myself to play another round. I'm usually defiant against the whole "the weapons are unbalanced" issue, but when it creates an unfair playing field for players that can't gain access to weapons that counter these problems, I find myself powerless to argue against it. ... ... sigh.

Yup. That's the issue everyone has.

When i play by myself I am only with lower levels and its so much nicer. In fact, I won my first deathmatch EVER today (in R2 and R3). I went 30-18.
