A'hhh... I started with an enforcer, so I never realized that sentinels already had the skills required to use one.

Nope,Sentinels starts with different skills but with mine I had to buy the Heavy weapon skill

So then what weapon do they start with? I picked a sentinel once but canceled it before I ever used it because the Avatar ticked me off... I later learned how to change Avatars

Swarm Launchers and a pistol I believe.

My god...

I actually hate Ambush. Nobody seems to understand the point of clone reserves and respawns immediately, even when I'm in their vicinity (apparently I'm the only person who seems to play as a medic, too). There was one point last night where I died after successfully hacking a spawn point for my team (we were getting spawn camped in the default location). My teammates were spawning pretty much on top of me and STILL nobody would bother reviving me.





I'd much rather play Skirmish. I can forgive the idiots in Skirmish, because the game play is more varied...

Triage unit nearby, standby. Doesn't revive me, I waste 1 minute of playtime. I only encountered 1 dedicated medic so far, he even repaired armor.

i dunno people revive me..

i was lighting kids up with my laser assault and i got pegged and a logi actually saw it, ran past a tanks field of vision and revived me... then armor repped me... then we stuck together for the rest of the match lol!

i was in the top 5 tho, i'd just gotten my new characters laser and shield tanked build and i figure maybe he noticed i wasn't playing the game like cod. me no kno.

probably did it for points tho.. that laser gets assist kills if someone looks at it directly basically. i can just drag it across the screen and hit people lol. went something like 8-10 and 1 and the one death i didn't lose my suit cuz the logi found me.

Yeah, but in Ambush, 1 minute of playtime waiting for a medic is better than instantly respawning and depleting the clone reserves faster. That's just asking for a loss.

There's usually about 2-3 Logi's in every match of mine, usually only one actually does his job though. People running assault usually also carry it, but they don't use it either >.>

If you die while the area is still hot. then you should just respawn. You'll just die as you get revived anyway, and you'll take a medic with you. It seems most people don't know this, but you don't have to use a drop link in ambush. If you're getting spawn camped, then just press square and you'll spawn randomly like you normally do.

you'll spawn randomly with the enemy team or in front of a tank* ^

This. The random spawning is ridiculous in this game. It's like it doesn't taken into account that you're either spawning in front of an enemy or sometimes even WITH the enemy. Rif and I were playing ambush yesterday and I was waiting for a couple seconds to spawn at the beginning of the match. I watched him spawn right next to an enemy, kill him, only to have another enemy spawn in front of him. Hopefully they fix random spawns after beta.

Downloaded the Beta and had a few matches. may I join? My specialty is to run over people!

ever since i got my build properly setup i've been going like 15-1. theres a lot of braindead kids in pubs, and i can't wait to find a bigger corp to do contracts for a real challenge.. i think my kdr has climbed up to like 2.5 and is still going lol.

i've reapplied to the dks corp on my new toon for now tho, since i lost it when i deleted the old one.

I wanna do a sentinel character, but so far the swarm launcher has been... underwhelming. How do I get a heavy machine gun?

you train for it and buy one. militia hmg's would be stupid.

swarm launcher is for light slots and anti vehicle btw.. idk why you're using that. if you're in a heavy dropsuit get the forge guns for vehicles, they're better in every way as the heavys were also designed as anti vehicle.

However, it's funny to blow up a pack of snipers with the swarm launcher... hahahaha

i like sneaking up on them and shooting them with a laser. its funny watching them panic for half a second before they die.

Yeah. I started as a Sentinel just yesterday, so I'm still trying to treat it more strategically then any other standard fps. Does the forge gun cost ist/isr/isk whatever the currency is?

I tried using the forge gun. Ew gross

the forge gun and swarm launcher isnt something you use all the time ee. they're designed to kill vehicles.

i know you didn't ask but you need to focus on getting a heavy machine gun.

and yeah everything thats worth using in dust costs isk, the currency you get for playing games. the better it is the more expensive and skill intensive.

if you want to play strategically you need to get a hmg and find someone that can armor or shield repair you... and have an anti vehicle forge gun build on the side. those heavy suits are total fortresses but you appear on EVERYONES radar. it's bad. like some guy playing in another game can probably see you off in the distance at the end of the skybox bad.

not only that but if your armor buffer tanked you can beat one or two people in close range, but you wont have enough life to take on more. you're also slow as hell with plates so people can get outside of your range (like my laser rifle that does max damage outside a hmg's range.). both of these can be negated if you go shield tank as they'll recharge themselves and don't slow you down.. but theyre extremley cpu intensive and wont give as much buffer.

buffer tank yourself and fit on one armor rep. find a little logi to follow you around and rep you and sit near cover for him to hide behind. find a choke point and let them come to you.

train up your skills to just fit on a hmg, get skills to use a low end heavy suit you want- depends if u want armor or shield and level up your skills to fit on enhanced tanking modules. either enhanced plates or shield extenders. after that just level up whatever you feel is necessary for your heavy.
