A patch? What's it for? I haven't noticed any bugs so far...

Took you long enough to notice.

You online or you leaving for work?

I'll have a shower and a shave and might have time fo 1 or 2 missions.

Hard mode on your own is freaking hard. I have to leave the bots on because I genuinely need the help.

I'm working on getting that job:

The hardest trophy to get for this game is definitely going to be the one for having all the weapons. The higher tiers are so damn expensive. I'd probably need a couple hundred thousand points to buy all the weapons currently available to me, and at most I get about 10k per mission. Plus there's still 2 tiers of weapons to go. And that's just for 1 of the 4 armour classes.

You think thats bad tier 6 weapons for me cost around 90000, well the ones i want.

None of mine cost more than 40k at tier 6. But Jet weapons seem to be weaker in general.

The gun i'm talking about does something like 600 damage per bullet and fires 6 bullets per second, my new sniper will do something like 2.5 k damage and can shoot slightly over 1 bullet per second.

If this is what trooper is capable of fuck knows what the battle tropper will be packing.

You'd think the standard trooper would be an all-rounder and the other 3 would have particular weapon specialties, but you seem to outgun me in every depertmant, tier for tier. Plus the Jet can't use shotguns at all.

It kinda works out as i have to be very careful with my splash damage as i can kill myself, so explosive weapon wise i appear to pack more punch but you can shoot, a lot more rapidly without worrying about the consequences.

My snipers and assault rifles just seem plain broken though. Also when we're both in the same tier our scores are consistently almost identical so, i think the game is actually suprisingly well balanced. I'm very cuirous what the battle trooper will be like. I'm guessing tactical will be shitty as he will definitely have weaker weapons to compensate the fact he uses turrets, he also is slow and doesn't have all that much armour either (well i think its less then the trooper).

Nah, Tactical has more health than Trooper from what I remember.

Oh right i'm still expecting him to be the shittest class though. If his specialty ends up being greande launcher or sniper he will officially suck.

I'm pretty sure Snipers are supposed to be a Jet specialty, since it's the only tier 8 weapon Jet has.

That would make trooper a rocket launcher specialty but all my most expenssive weapons are assault rifles, so i doubt that.

Up for some missions?

Maybe in a bit i'm trying to finish up AC brotherhood at the minute.

My tier 6 sniper rifle does 3'002 damage. I think snipers are supposed to be my specialty.

Well it depends how much it drains your back pack to.

It's a quick reload. No way I'll be using it in the air though.

My tier 6 missile launcher makes a mockery of battle ships. 5 homing missiles with A grade turning that go all over the fucking place. I barely have to aim.

Thats the thing unless there's only 1 tier 8 weapon i can't imagine those being the ultimate weapons. The trooper is shit using rocket launchers.

I swear this game rations out health drops per player. On my own each one is a rare and precious resource. With the two AI bots the enemies drop more health than I could ever need.

i'm pretty sure they just spawn left right and centre when you got bots on, even human play + 1 bot they don't give that many.

The tier 6 weapons make it feel like I'm playing on normal again in the early missions.

What's up with this game?
Someone got it for me as a "Christmas gift."
I really don't plan on playing it since I've never heard of it, but someone told me to try it out.
