    Ok I’ve succumbed to this “deal”; this is too good a game not to pay something towards it, and I don’t fancy another major grind to get what I treat as standard weapons. It raises a question though. We’ve 12 free unlocks across factions, so first, are we staying with NC? Second what will you unlock amongst those 12 gifts? Highest priced ones must surely be the prudent step, or are you going to go with what we’ve stuck with in beta? Going to bide your time? All in one Empire (eg I really want a terran character as well as NC)? Discuss.

    i`m not sure . it can be a great game but sometimes the lack of any real end game is just plain boring but its still worth some investment i think . secondly i dont see the point in spending a day pushing halfway across the map as nc to spend the next day trying to claim that ground back as tr .

    saying that though i have had some epic battles since the last patch , there seems to be a greater emphasis on taking ground rock by rock than just flooding in with loads of troops . on the flip side of that is once you take a base its pretty much yours . my buttocks used to be clenched whilst watching the ticker , just incase the enemy took the adjacent territory and scuppered your hard work . now it seems my buttocks are always flaccid .

    the firmness of my derriere is how i rate my games . i shall keep you informed .

    I’ll tell you how I get over the end game thing, I just want to fire me/us into the biggest challenge we can face. It’s a delicate balancing act between what I think we can do, and what we’re up against, but my god is it satisfying when you take or defend an area against the odds!? That’s what we should aspire to as our game, rather than worrying about an “end game” imho.

    The day I fought off 4 waves of enemies (one of them consisted of 12 players) attacking me on one of the secondary outposts (the towers), on my own, was the day I realised how good this game can be.

    Even with large assaults by the zerg, if you can fill the niche that needs filling most, you contribute disproportionately to the team effort, and that’s the challenge, not to mention the game!

    definatly need to get some bodies on this . got caught in a 40 strong tank line into fieldspar canyon today in my sunderer . decided to take the high road alone as there was already a sunderer deployed down below . deployed up top and got out with 2 hitchikers , changed my kit to light assault and jumped down onto the landing pads and was followed by another 10 or so spawners . tottally took the base by surprise as they were nearly all heavys caning our armour with their backs to us . it was a turkey shoot . took the base and jetted back up to my ride , undeployed and drove straight off the edge of a cliff . i must admit just before impact my buttocks were clenched like walnuts .

    I’d thought it was 4 unlocks per faction, rather than being able to put all 12 into one. Could be wrong though.

    I’m not fussed on faction choice as long as it isn’t Vanu as I think we can all agree that they gargle balls.

    They do have the magrider though, which chews balls.
