The Uber Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Hi! I have a couple of questions, and any answers are appreciated.

1. Regarding the jetpack, it seems that three classes have it; the Assault, Tank, and Gunner. I'm aware that the Assault has a skill that lengthens the time he can stay airborne, but how long can the Tank and Gunner stay airborne?

2. Is a PC port in the works? If this were released on Steam, gamers would snap it up in an instant.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

1. It's quite a long time, considering. The Assault is definitely the class that best uses it though.

2. Uber, the fans, the President, and the Prime Minister cannot confirm nor deny the possibility of a port to PC.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Thanks for clearing that up!

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I have some questions about criticals?

1. How do the criticals work, is it random like a 5% chance or whatever or is it every headshot or spefic spot on the body?

2. Do backstabs as the assassin count as criticals?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

This one I really dont know.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

1. Crits are random, when you shoot a crit shot your bullets will turn purple. Head shots with sniper= instant kill (Assault passive, Gunner Deploy and Crit+ endourcements increase your chance on shooting crits.)

2. No they dont, they just do alot of damage, instant killing most classes. (except tank and sometimes gunner)

What's the level cap?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

99

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Q: Do you think this will ever be re-released as a full retail game, in 2 years possibly?

(With new stuff of course)

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I read much of this thread, and am amazed at how many people seem to want TDM and CTF with the current game type, at a 15 dollar price point they must not understand the industry...

I do have a couple of suggestions for future DLC Map/Character packs however!

A: I think an option for Crossfire Balanced Team only would be amazing.. no end to the losses from having 4 assassins on a team.. bleh, I realize playing with a team bypasses this, but pugs should be balanced too!

B: I think adding some variations on the environments in the maps, like foliage, or nature based maps would be great.

C: This may be my TF2 fan talking... but um... PYRO CLASS! Heh, and I for one will be willing to pay 800-1200 MS points for the DLC... it is well worth it, I would have bought this as a boxed game at the $40 PP!

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Do any of the endorsements decrease the time between successful backstabs?

Edit: also, do the rate of fire endorsements make the heal/hurt gun heal/hurt faster?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Fire rate seems to increase it for me, it's not a huge lot of difference but I am able to keep a firebase alive when under fire a lot better plus overheal players in a matter of seconds.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Q: Can we get a list of the Arenas? I can't seem to find them anywhere and I can't keep them straight. :/

Edit: @uberent responded to my tweet. Here they are:

"LaseRazor, Grenade III, Steel Peel , AmmoMule arenas and Blitz - Sprintz Arena. Tutorial is Grandma Betty's"

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

This has probably already been asked before, but...

I have the trial, and I plan to get the game tomorrow.

Last night it told me I got stuff such as protags, an avatar award, and achievements. If I unlocked the game right then and there, I would've had it.

If I unlock the game, will I still get those items, or will I have to replay for another chance to get said items?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

We aren't allowed to save any of that stuff in a trial game so you will have to re-earn that stuff unless you leave your xbox on!

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Understandable, thanks for the answer.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Is there anyway to see the Map Overview while alive on the field. It's a great tool to have when checking out the field but I only see it's availability when I'm dead.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I would love to see the map while i'm alive as well!

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Anyone know what type of bots spawn depending on your class? Can I also switch to a class just to spawn a specific bot?

For example, if I'm a assassin and I decide to spawn bots will I get gremlins?

EDIT: Nvm this first question, thread here - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=927&start=10

Another question, if I set up a firebase and change classes does the firebase stay alive?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I'm not sure if a list has been compiled or not, but it would be pretty easy to figure out in game. Yes, you can switch a class whenever at anytime while respawning. The firebase will die.
