TheMightyEthan Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was playing Reach on 8, but then when I went back to it after MNC it felt WAY TOO SLOW so I cranked it up to 10. It still felt too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brida Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 MNC is a slower, more methodical game. Unless you pick up too many speed drops and you're trying to kill an assasin/are playing as one. In which case I feel like I speed god with my shotgun.

TheMightyEthan Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 No no, I mean the aiming on Reach felt too slow, cause it's so much slower than MNC. I didn't mean the actual speed of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Eurgh. Fucking lag. I wish they'd hurry up and set up dedicated servers for this thing. I know it's beta n all, but I'm not gonna sit around about a month and just assume that once the launch button hits they'll magically add dedi's there n then. They should be in place pre-launch or I'd have no guarantee they'll ever get put in place. This is the same shit I had with Lead n Gold and it really kind puts you off investing in these smaller £10 MP only games. Yeah most other MP games cost a fair bit more, but at least they have Dedi's up n running. Not like there's a cost to the developer (though yeah there will be in the beta until like everyone else can set em up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now you can use the game executable as a dedicated server but it's not ideal seeing as how the game is tied to your Steam account.

Baconrath Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I still don't know how to do that super-jump thing with the Assassin and what those silver thingys are by some players names and how to get them. I assume it is some sort of 'presteeeeeege' mode :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkelp Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Use the smoke bomb then jump. You might need to level it up first. The icons mean that player has exceeded level 99. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixTwoSixFour Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Okay, okay. I know I need to get this game, but I need someone to help me put aside my fears. I read reviews of it, and I was like "Yeah, alright, kickass, this sounds gr- TOWER DEFENSE? Aw hell no." I am so godawful at tower defense, and I hate it, so please someone tell me it's not as tower defense-y as the reviews made it sound.

Tinkelp Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Quick Look: Monday Night Combat It's as much a tower defense game as TF2 is a Diablo clone. Yes, both games have you collecting weapons that have different stats but it's not the focus of TF2. MNC has you building turrets/towers, they shoot at things, they're important to the game but they are not the driving force behind the gameplay.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah, the tower defense aspect is mostly like "our towers are down, build some more towers" than actually constantly worrying about your towers. If you ever played Tribes, the towers in MNC are more like the turrets in Tribes than the towers in a real TD game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewblaha Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Jesus it's hard to get back in, though I think I've succeeded. I'm playing with the drunkest hillbilly ever. No one to play with. It's actually kind of depressing. Or...well.. Really depressing. Still depressing for most of the night. Seriously guys. It was depressing.

deanb Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 http://www.penny-arcade.com/2011/1/24/ Email interview thingy from Uber Entertainment to PA. Talks on the changes between PC and 360 version and why they were done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Its a bit of a crappy name in general too that I can't make heads nor tails of why it's called that. Also maybe post on Ubers forums or the MNC section on steam forums. Or email them. Always good. Strive to be more pro-active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I haven't tried this on PC since early in the beta period. Is it any easier to actually get in a match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I popped on a couple hours ago and they've completely retooled the server browser UI. Loads more servers too. Still got the bug where the music stutters if you scroll though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 WTF, they did away with 1920x1080 as a resolution option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 No. That's what I'm running it at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well it's not in my dropbox, and the dropbox won't scroll. The only 16:9 option it gives me is 1280x720, though it does give me some 16:10 resolution options that are even higher than 1920x1080. *Edit* - Nevermind, I got it to scroll. I just thought it wouldn't scroll cause there's no bar on the side and every time I rolled the scroll wheel it closed the dropbox, but after I did that a couple times it somehow selected 1920x1080 anyway, so I'm okay with that.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Oh, that's handy too. I googled the problem last night to see if there was a way to manually set the resolution like that, but all I found were threads with people asking, and no answers.

Tinkelp Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can't imagine why, it's Unreal3. Their config files haven't really changed since the first engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
