    I’ve been thinking about this over the last couple of weeks, because while this is in beta there’s an opportunity to really learn the ins and outs of all 3 factions, which we may be missing out on. As far as I know you’ll still be able to play multiple factions on release but I think we should come to our own decision over which faction we use for our main characters. At the moment we’ve only really settled on NC because I thought xfactor might put up some good guides specific to them, with it being his clans faction of choice. I am tempted though by VS, given what i’ve seen from them from the NC perspective, amd also by TR after I tested the heavy assault weapons recoil a few weeks ago. Anyone fancy trying this with me, even though we’ll be back to square one in terms of unlocks?

    Just got my beta key last night so I really don’t mind which faction I go for. Been playing an NC infiltrator for a couple of hours now and its hard as well to get kills with the sniper rifle.

    I can’t seem to get a handle on the game at the mo . I think the key for any beginner at the games current stage i is to upgrade the class you plays weapons and armour with every cert you get . I have upgraded vehicles and specialities and you get to use them rarely . I have unlocked the gate bypass for the sunderer but once you equip it you can’t equip the mobile spawn aswell . So kind of makes it pointless .

    You’re putting your certs in the wrong places I think. The infantry upgrades ane sunderer spawn are the first things you want, don’t let other things distract you. I noticed a difference in survivability between my fully upgraded heavy assault pre character wipe and immediately following, but it resulted in a 1.5 k/d vs the previous 1.9. That was also early on when I wasn’t used to ironsights which I kept for a long time. I recognise that difference, but even without upgrading to the same standard, which is the same across the board btw (pre character wipe we also had ppl fully upgraded on the opposition), however i’ve yet to blame the upgrade system for a death. I think it’s fine. Prioritise your certs on the class you play most and on spawn ability stuff. With you just back in game, you’re rusty, but also facing people further ahead of you in rank. Take it on the chin and whore some xp. It won’t last for long.
