Monday Night Combat

[Mister Jack]

I kinda wish the in-game tutorial was a little more robust. I am not sure what highlights are for. And where do you get abilities for custom classes?

[Pheermee]

after you have earned so much money you can buy custom class slots. Then you can pick your endorsements. Gold being the best bonus, bronze being the weakest.

[Mister Jack]

What is the fundamental difference between Tank and Gunner?

[Pheermee]

Gunner Has a minigun and mows people down at medium range. Has an AOE slam attack that can instakill or knock people back. Also has a mortar to take out turrets very quickly.

 

Tank has the most heath and armor. is a close range fighter and can set people on fire that does DOT damage. Also can charge a short distance and push people back. Also can blind enemies and temporarily disable turrets with product bomb. And a Rail gun for snipe harrasment.

[mintycrys]

Gunner is used for long-distance pro harassment and turret destruction with mortars, and for laying down a curtain of murderous suppressive fire with the miniguns.

 

Tank is used for close-quarters destruction of bots, pros, and turrets alike, and has a long-distance railgun to compensate for lack of range, but gets absolutely trashed at a perfect medium-range by basically any class.

[Mister Jack]

So basically it comes down to distance. Gotcha.

[Pheermee]

well the high level overview yeah. but they play so radically different and such varied tactics and jobs =p

[brida]

And health. Health is a huge difference, I would say. Hell with the right build a tank will take like 4-5 full shotgun blasts before they die, and that's INSANE.

[Mister Jack]

Any assassin tips?

[brida]

don't be an assasin

 

your role is bot/turret killer.

[Chewblaha]

I could use Gunner and Tank to go along with Assault and Support though.

 

I can't play any of those now.

[Mister Jack]

Is there a way to change classes? I don't like accidentally duplicating one of the other players on the team.

[Pheermee]

You will have to ask an assassin player. I am a bad assassin

[Chewblaha]

I am hanging up my MNC cleats for good.

 

I loved you so much, MNC. I never even had to pay for you.

[brida]

Chewie you should try playing when ywe're all actaully on before you decide you want to give up on it. It's totally different having a team to back you up and shit, I mean this is the case with all games really but. Still.

[Chewblaha]

I can't play in the sense of my awareness.

 

It is done.

[Pheermee]

Jack when you die it tells you at the bottom of teh screen how to change classes. And Also at the beginning of the game you can reselect quickly. I do not remember the exact buttons to do so.

[Mister Jack]

I haven't really been seeing this. Is this for Crossfire only? Because I've been doing Blitz.

[brida]

hey guys you should get on...!

[Mister Jack]

Ok I think my favorite class to play as is, surprisingly, support. Usually I'm not too into those kinds of classes because I like to get up in the thick of things, but when I play as support I'm never lacking in things to do. It's kind of like spinning plates but that's fun to me.

[Shadowstep]

Blitz doesn't let you change classes after you've made your choice. In Crossfire, press A to choose your class at the start of the game and I think Up on the d-pad when you die.

 

The only tips I can offer for playing an assassin are:

Use at least silver armor.

Stay FAR away from tanks.

[Mister Jack]

Could someone explain the ejector to me? And what is this Annihilator?

 

Also, I am having some trouble aiming with the sniper. Do you all use the default sensitivity? It seems like a bit much to me.

[mintycrys]

In short, the ejector is the green hazard vendor you see on the top levels of each arena that corresponds to an ejector pad on the ground floor, often in a bot lane. If you spend $50 to hit the ejector, all bots on the pad's effective area are destroyed (or knocked away if overhealed with heal aura). It can also be used to eject pros from the arena or outright kill them.

 

The Annihilator is the padless hazard vendor that you find in the center of every map. It costs $250, and will destroy all small enemy bots on the field, hurt Jackbots substantially, and deal a minor bit of damage to pros. Annihilator control is imperative; even if your enemy has no bots worth $250, it's worth it to merely hit it so that the enemy can't. Having money for the Annihilator is a must, so only upgrade skills AS YOU NEED THEM as opposed to trying to get every skill to level 3. Always assume that somebody on the enemy team has the money for it, and will rush the Annihilator given a chance. Don't let it happen.

 

Also, default sensitivity for the Sniper is waaaaaaaay too much. I'd go with 3 at the absolute highest. I use 2, and find it to be great for jumping in & out of scope.

That would be why I can't quick-scope... I think I even turned it up from default. But then I play most games with higher sensitivity than most people do.

[brida]

I PLAY ALL GAMES ON 10
