Packs a waste of money imo, pick a class and specialise in it, much more efficient

Problem is I'm going to start switching classes more often sooner or later, so the pack comes in handy.

Anyway, anyone who still hasn't joined us and is on Woodman/TR, write down your IGN here and we'll invite you to the glorious Calradian RePublican Guard. Do your planet a favour and help us get rid of terrorism. Join CRPG.

Free transport with the CRPG mountain bus included.
Invite pl0x, the name's JohnnyJackDavis.

I am still suffering from these infuriating crashes. I can only play for 10 minutes max now, most of the crashes seem to occur when I have just died and am waiting for the respawn/map screen to come up.
Free speech is about to become terrorism.

Ah fair enough then. I'm not planning on spending much (if any) real money on the game, so I'm relying on cert points, I've got 304 atm, deciding how to spend them is tricky xD

Wait until you can buy a nice weapon or put it all into upgrades for your class?

A reflex sight for 50 certs is the first step for your main class IMO, much nicer to aim with. Then either get utility style upgrades for that class, like repair tool/ammo box upgrade for engineer ( just an example ) or if you want even better accuracy with your gun get the foregrip + compensator and perhaps even the advanced foregrip. All IMO of course.

FYI, first level armor upgrades for classes cost just 1 cert point. Also, first level respawn reduction for vehicles :)

Can tanks have improved front armor and side armor at the same time? Looking at the slots, it doesn't look like it to me.

That being said I'll probably spend those 50 certs into making the Sundy a mobile respawn point. It's a great addition for such a low cost.

That's the single most important sunderer upgrade, bro.

Btw I'll try adding one of the cRPG clan members as friend next time I play, I haven't seen even the shadow of anyone with a name close to those I know yet. Casimir's nick is Casimir right ?


About performance : I aim quite shocked I start having FPS lag when I use high settings. I have a HD4870 with 1Gb and I run games like GTA4 with the top notch enb mods like a breeze... of course playing on a 1280x960 screen helps the GC. And if they say it's hard not to have FPS lag with dozens of people being showed, they have no idea of what they are doing, or they are using old technology, or they haven't really concentrated on 3D performance from the start of the project. It's totally understandable to have massive lags/teleports etc. but FPS problems with that kind of quality ? Common... Of course I'm saying this from a computer perspective. As a gamer I don't really mind playing on medium. It doesn't look that bad and certainly not bad enough to repel me.

About investing cert points, choose one suit per class and stick to it, then take the time reduction thing lvl1 for all vehicules. The first level upgrades only cost 1 cert so they are definetly a nobrainer. Then start improving your powers, tools, suits and cooldowns to lvl2, which should all cost 10 certs per upgrade. When that's done you can start looking at scopes and other class upgrades (30 certs), but only if you are sure of the weapon you will be using, which is unlikely.

Best part about this game is light assault and C4. Hilarious.
Suicide bombed 8 medics by dropping a single C4 in their healing centre. Before I did it I wrote "FOR SCIENCE!" in the chat.  :lol:

I'm using standard LA carbine as VS. The upgrades don't seem to be much better. I'd rather get more C4.

No, and also side doesnt includes back, which is where i really wanted extra armor.

Back armor is the one thing you can't improve. They specifically wanted it to be weak.
