Playing this reminds me how awesome dystopia and empires are. Its not a bad game at all, but its the same old run around and shoot people with boring guns. Except sometimes their *cloaked* and you have to steal the ghost instead of set up the bomb. * after playing NS, The Hidden, and emp, it isn't really cloaking just "harder to see if your standing still" mode.
I don't play this much (mainly due to low numbers), but I thought i'd give a heads up as we have this topic. They released a patch yesterday: http://www.neotokyohq.com/download.html Changelog: http://forum.radi-8.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1300
I'm a beta tester and I can say a lot of work went into balancing this patch, but overall weapons are deadlier. And that first weapon doesn't suck so much anymore. Finally, there is a map covered in japanese women lacking clothing. Awesome patch tbh.
Did they change the way the ghost works? One of the biggest problems was that nobody actually wanted to carry the ghost because of the sitting duck feeling.
Still PLENTY of full servers whenever I play. As for the ghost: Get a friend, both get mics...one wallhacks, one kills. mroe than one person guarding the ghost is made of more win. Last person alive? Well...don't pick it up.
If you're the last person, pick it up, run, get tags on people, throw it, they'll be drawn, cover it, and even det pack it if you can.
The problem with that is you're last man standing and a recon. AKA fucked. Go support, last man standing, spam smoke, rofl at your enemies as you rape them when they try to assault the ghost. I've capped the ghost as the last man standing like 6 times as support, it's fucking hard, but it's also fucking awesome to get the cheers next round as everyone spawns in and can use their mic again.
Recons move a lot faster, making it easier to outrun the likely long-lasting troops - support, and keep ahead of other recons, while capping the ghost. I was surprised just how high the survivability was tbh. I forget, can they also use their crazy jump while ghost-carrying? Or is that restricted :confused:
havn't played since the latest patch, but still. I always grab the ghost. use the wallhack ability for your team via your mic, and your team will have the upper hand despite being a gun down. It seems like a game perfect for the casual gamer with a mic on a team with other people with mics. It's not so common to get a chatty server in europe, unless it's a small bunch of sarcy brits that know each other IRL. this is true in TF2 too. like, i have never EVER seen a tf2 server as chatty as the american nomnomnom server (http://www.youtube.com/user/nomnomnomtf2)... which sucks europeans on the internet are reserved. I think there's a bigger gamer culture in the US
It's just their easy going nature. It'd be wrong to say we don't have chatty servers across the board though...I think it's just a little rarer than ze americans.
Everyone moves at the same speed with the ghost, I don't think they can highjump. I enjoy the aussie community, but the gameplay is too harsh for you guys to come join us on our 300 ping to you servers.
Yeah - Recons do not do well with the ghost. At the same time, Recons get the AWP with a high enough score...and on certain maps, that one person can alone win the round pretty much (like that outdoor snow map where one team starts in a house, and one outside - either side having the AWP is a winning ticket, sadly. I've had mixed results with recon...sometimes I'm able to rape...sometimes I get raped in the first minute or two. None of the three class options is really my favorite...which I guess is good balance wise. I will say that game has some really bad maps on it...painfully bad maps at times.
