The Uber Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Some games on PC have auto-aim or aim-assist but not many.

I hate the type of aim assist where your crosshair moves with the player your looking at, Its really annoying when you miss a shot while sniping because the aim assist pushed your crosshair into a wall or something just because your enemy makes a sudden movement.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I've team killed because I was aiming at an enemy, had another enemy run across my screen, my view pulled as I fired and killed an ally across the map.

That's a rarity though.

(This did not happen in MNC)

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

There's actually a lot more to aim assist than just having your input slow down when you are aiming at an enemy. It's actually quite a sophisticated problem to solve well and there are typically multiple phases involved. Slowing down is only one of the things most games do for this...

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Well there are three types of aim assist that come to mind(Any one that has played Halo:CE should have experienced them)

1.Bullet magnetism: This is the name of the aim assist that makes your bullets fire in the direction of an enemy. A rare few games use this but I don't mind if they do because it would help anyone.This video shows it off in Halo:CE

2.Slowdown: This is when the crosshair slows down while over an enemy, Its fine if its put into a game because it would help alittle on people that have trouble aiming.

3.Sticky: This is the worst possible aim assist, If there is anything all gamers would agree about its not using this aim assist (especially on snipers) This is where your screen will move without you telling it to when an enemy move in front of your crosshair.This video shows slowdown and sticky in MW2(The vid poster even complains about it stuffing up his sniper shots)

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

just wondering if the Support character's primary gun the "healgun" can that still shoot, hurt and kill enemy's and bots?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Oh yes, and once UberEnt has me playtest MNC I'll explain further.





Thats a not-so-subtle request for a playtest, Uber. FYI.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

lol that would be lethal though

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Yes, we call it the Heal/Hurt Gun, alternate fire sucks health from enemies and returns it to the Support.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I like that i am definatly being the support then. thats what I love about this game once you think youve heard it all it tells you another cool point about it

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I hope he doesn't sparkle...

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Maybe we can start getting some "Introducing the [insert class]" videos when we're closer to release date (Which I'm still saying is July 6, 2010).

I'd also like to see more videos about the addons we can get for weapons. (Ammo Mule was the 1st one I watched)

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

What i want 2 knnow is what the skills are for each class i hope they update the website soon so we can see them

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

They're still tweaking it, as far as I know. Watch the videos, they give a good general idea of what skills you can get.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Ya i want to know what exactly what achillees does because youre achilees is around your foot area (i think) but it seems its something about longer vision or something

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Can anyone tell me what career does and what is a pro-tag is it like callsigns

Also in response to my earlier question (about the support and his healgun) what would happen if 2 supports suck the health out of each other that it would look pretty funny

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

This actually happens quite a bit in the game. The key is to get some damage on the other player first so they drain out first. Turret support makes a huge difference in this case.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Speaking of turrets, they are weaker as in Demigod or LoL it seems but you can rebuild them, right? If you have a weak turret can you just upgrade it or does it have to be destroyed first?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

So the Supports are too clueless to pull out the shotgun?

Shotgun has to be stronger than the Healgun.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Ya but whoever does pull it out first they are going to be at a disadvantage because then the other guy can just suck health from him to replace the ones that he lost from the shotgun

And nobody answered my earlier uestion which is
Can anyone tell me what career does? and what is a pro-tag is it like callsigns?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Pro tags are like the titles from COD:MW2 (If you have played it) But I think MNC ones are more customizable but I'm not sure.
