Weren't you supposed to be 'retiring'?

The assault has been overpowered from day 1, but so many people are too bad to unlock the full potential of it.

They're changing the Tank's deploy?

No, the tank's deploy is currently extremely useful for gaining juice by deploying in front of lazer blazers.

Deploy gives you juice based on the number of hits you take from turrets, not damage taken.

They are reducing the damage taken from lazer blazers by all pros in the next patch, so it will be easier to deploy in front of them and survive until you get juice.

The patch is reducing the rate of juice gains on most of the other classes that currently gain juice quickly (IE: Sniper/Support).

Juice Chaining will harder to do because of the global cooldown put on the juice machine.

The tank will have an increased potential to chain juice from natural sources after the patch, while everyone else will remain the same or face a reduction in natural juice gain.

I got a good laugh out of this one.

Some of my predictions:

- Everyone will love the new maps for the first week, then have some stupid reason for hating it by week two, then like them again after the devs make an insignificant change that somehow makes them "balanced", but doesn't change the way the map plays at all.

- Scathis still won't have paid me back for those melee kills and slaps I gave him.

- Hudson will continue to steal all of my ideas.

- Wherewholves whill have the wherewhithal to make it whorthwhile to give it a whirl when whashing whindows.

it still takes 2+ turrets to juice on. turrets in the enemy base.

this is FAR from comparison to the 2-3 groups of blackjacks it takes to juice for a sniper, still in his own base. OR the 6 overheals the support needs to juice, from the safety of his own base.

i dont think a lot of the complaints, minus spawncamping, will still be valid. spawncamping will still be cut back because a good juicer wont be able to 1v6 a bad team.

btw, i was playing with an assassin earlier today, allow me some time to remember their gamertag, but they juiced 30 seconds into the game, and then every 30-40 seconds. was the highest cash that game. which is rediculous that carried the team. so ill enjoy the rarity of juice so much... as soon as microsoft feels that they can release the dlc without any chance it could hurt the ratings or sales of black-ops.

Whin. :lol:

A Tank can Deploy in front of 1(one) Lazer blazer and still get juice in roughly 5 seconds.

i am not going anywhere hudson, everything is gonna be ok.

btw ubergunner is cx0427, i thought everyone knew that?

You've got to be kidding me.

this.

lets just make his bombs destructable like the snipers ice traps, and call it even.

so says the guy who plays assault main.

I knew about the taking damage = Juice while deployed, but I hadn't thought about it like that.

*rubs hands together*

When you combine indestructable bombs with a giant radius and a 7 second cooldown, insane enough mobility to barely ever die if you have half a brain, a gun that takes little aim and deals high damage, and a grenade launcher to kill everything around corners or behind cover, it's a pretty easy class. I've always found it the easiest to master anyway.

The bomb radius is pretty insane to look at. I think assaults/gunners will take a decent [but not substantial] hit from the juice purchasing change though.

it makes me want to cry because i only play these classes.....gunner ain't to bad if you use the mortar right though

Gunner is the easiest class. Assault has a very high skill-ceiling because he's all about hit-and-run tactics, and both bomb and grenade launcher have unlimited potential.

Anyway, Assault is the standard. Making changes to him is not a good idea.
