Re: Unable to ready up, and being booted from games by the game.

this bug happens in litterally EVERY game i join, and when it does finally fix itself; if the game isnt launched soon after it breaks again. this has made the game LITTERALLY unplayable.

im glad to hear that im not the only one though. but retail seems to work fine whereas elite mod does not

Re: Problems with high framerate in menu

alternatively download a program such as MSI afterburner and the program that comes with it; Rivatuner stat server. it allows you to limit your framerate, monitor GPU temperatature, load and fan speed. it may even help you figure out what might be causing your issue. it may not be a case of the vide...

Re: GK tier 1 vs. Chaos heretics?

im sorry to say this but a single, unupgraded heretic squad will NOT beat a strike squad. you must have been seeing things if they did. however, a heretic squad with an AC will handily wreck a SS if given the time to get off enough doomblasts and its in a purely unit vs unit situation. did the heret...

Re: Killing the tyrant guard...

Vs 3 Zoans and a TG I would NOT recommend a las-hwt team. Even with the shield, I think it still gets 1-shot by 3 Zoan Blasts. while i would normally agree, if you're vs a TG and 3 zoans, its safe to say that you can keep the las cannon way back while it shoots at the TG, meanwhile force the zoans ...

just like riku said, 3 zoans and a TG is fucktons of power and requisition, so if you didnt have atleast 2 T2 units then you were just too far behind or not buying the right stuff to counter it. getting a chimera to force a focused warp blast from the zoans wouldnt be such a bad idea if you had trip...

#1 what is this guardian you speak of? #2 Shields actually last too long imo, they stay up for ages and provide invulnerability, even to things like grenades and manticore strikes. i think you're just using them wrong or you're not paying attention to how long it takes to kill them, because it takes...

im fairly certain its because of balance. a LC exection is an ability so it makes sense for there to be a small delay and for the commie to have to turn aorund and do it. the retreat break is more of a finger twitch reaction ability, and what i mean by that is that you dont want your commisar squad ...
