Yep, with the pulver under-slung missile anyway,  takes a few seconds to lock on.  So make sure you let the enemy turret or airbot focus on a team mate before lock on, otherwise its a pretty even race between the bot shredding you and you getting a lock on.

It can lock onto enemy nano shields as well, which is awesome when people are standing right behind em

If there are a sh#t loads of enemies running bots, create a pulver/missile supply crate build and just go to town

@Siamese: I had quite a lot of trouble killing you last night! I would hit you (not just you, happened to a few others) In the head/chest area, get a hit marker with the LS70 (one shot kill sniper) and not get a kill. Sort of frustrating, but had a lot of fun anyway, so it was alright .

Ah ok, nah I meant the grenade launcher on the assault rifle.  I know pressing zoom or something changes the reticle to green, i thought that was locking in distance or something (i have no idea actually haha)

What are peeps thoughts this week on either:

- no bots (including stun/combat drones)
- vanilla (everything on, standard modes)

[siamesedreams]

Happy with either Axe,  no bots might be nice for a fairer challenge.  Jykel has the bot skills hands down and if he is in your team its a big advantage.  On the other hand - someone in the other team just needs to man up and be the go to bot guy (not me haha I'm rubbish)

I like vanilla as I hate seeing things get nerfed, I think if a part of the game is kicking your butt you need to work harder to find a way to beat it.

[Jykel]

To change things up, if you run vanilla I wont run turrets this week, ammo crates FTW!

[Axe99]

Had a couple of more ideas thrown around - keeping it vanilla but:

- A single mode again, Capture and Hold, Capture and Connect, one of the beacon ones or S&D.
- A single map, with all the modes (I'd put a couple of maps in there, but they'd be long maps).

Post away, and I'll take my best guess at the preferred option and post it up tomorrow night so we know before Thursday .  There will be a game on at Thursday, at 7:30 AEST/9:30 NZ/5:30pm WA with a passcode of 747, one way or another .

[AroGantz]

Capture and connect would be pretty manic.

[Axe99]

Argh, that was a couple of more ideas, not my - I'm not having many ideas today!  The single map was Pakeha again (I think).
