Pfffffttttt get rid of the blue and even use Scathelock, that thing is really good and then wait until you get uriels or the prosecutor :P

After taking a hiatus from PvP, I played some IB last night. Ended up running with the Mida and the number (fwc auto). Auto rifles are really strong...maybe too much range?

Nightstalker with invis dodge is good fun to play - but equally infuriating to play against. Also didn't realise that smoke bombs pings the radar.

I've been trying tu use Uriels Gift but it's just not working out for me. I keep getting melted by it but I can never seem to land crits.

Although I realise I don't have any mods for energy weapon stability, so that could be where I'm going wrong...

HCR is the problem. Once you start getting hit by it you're all over the place.

13 Iron Banner games, 12 Wins.

If you have any clue how to play the objective, not feed and are in a FT of 4, you're already 10 steps ahead of your opponents

Yep, came across a few full Fire teams who knew what they were doing and got well beaten. Also had one game where we got B and held 2 zones at the start; I went on a bit of a kill spree holding B. When I died I thought to myself, even I did ok there so we must have a decent lead - looked at the score and we were 19 - 7 down.

Something bogey there for sure.
I was firing bursts of Vigilance Wing into them and barely scratching them.
Usually 2 bursts of that will kill you, 3 if you miss some of the shots.

2 maybe 3 bullets from Uriels Gift and I was blue orbing..

You'd want to get on to herself about that........

2 armour pieces in 10 packages. And here I was worrying that I don't have a Titan yet to get the set.

30 packages turned in on my titan, Have gotten all the weapons (no joke, 10 sidearms), and just missing the helmet for the titan.

Jesus 35 packages.

I liked the look of the armour but I knew I wouldn't have enough playtime to get a full set which made me not really both with IB at all.

And the fee packages i got the first day that did drop armour dropped random armour

I'd say I played upto two hours every day just on IB alone, by doing the daily milestone on the 3 characters, I usually ended up with 80-90 tokens. One day I did just grind some matches and got lucky with a 5-6 winning streak.

most of the dailies were ok to do in one game, except for 2 kills at once, took me a bit longer with that one.

Overall enjoyed this IB as a solo player mostly.

too*
I gotta stop drinking

Found IB connections very poor, guys not taking damage, shot when you're well in cover or around corners and my personal favorite is getting the kill and then being killed by their melee without any animation.

Only just hit rank 10 as I didn't enjoy the game mode at all, found the drops to be poor and had multiple of the same drops, think I got 6 sidearms. Final reward also lacking, really did not feel IB and it's a real shame as we always had good numbers and fun in D1.

What I wouldn't give for my Jade Rabbit. Mida is profoundly underwhelming, as are the IB weapons as a whole. I don't know how they went from the excellent selection introduced for RoI to the current dross.

Mida is very strong but only with the inclusion of HCR, they needed and got their nerf in D1 and they should do the same here, it won't make the gun unusable but it's uptake would drop dramatically. This would also sort out the Uriels Gift over use and make plenty more weapons viable, they would also need to deal with the Last Hope at the same time but I think that's a much more difficult balance for them to do effectively.

NCR are op right now as are pulse grenades so they obviously need to be brought back in line, they should be an easy balance to implement and still be usable.

The last hope is the big worry, technically smg's can compete at teh same range even a little further out but as soon as you are airbourne the last hope accuracy somes into it's own, I'm afraid they may adjust either range or in-air accuracy and that will **** up other aspects of the game.

I suppose the only logical step to take would be to nerf fusion rifles! Actually now that I mention them, they again, as in D1, seem prone to rng as to whether you will get that kill on a target that looks easily within range.
