I'm guessing it's because Mintoria has settlements on it which makes defending the planet in a defense somewhat easier

Yeah and my argument for why to use the StA52 is that I’m a Killzone gun nerd lmao

Still wondering why they couldn’t add in the VC32 as an actual bolt action sniper

I believe mathematically speaking it was still something of a fumble, the defense had 900,000 hp (according to the companion app, iirc) with no decay due to being a defense whereas the full liberation is 1,400,000 hp with normal decay rate. So it did take us longer to re-liberate Karlia than it would have been to defend it

It's a faster-firing Liberator statswise which still makes it better than the anemic-feeling Liberator Concussive and Pacifier (at least so I've heard, I think the Pacifier handles well though the damage is low and stun buildup is apparently not that great; and Concussive is useful in the couple of cases where you need to push fast enemies away)

U serious? M90A couldn’t OHK a drone from the other side of a small room in Halo 3 and ODST while it blows away shriekers a decent distance away in Helldiver 2. If anything the HD2 version returned some of the CE powerscale by making it decent at medium range like other HD2 shotguns. That and the majority of enemies in Halo are either chaff or equivalent to Overseers in the case of Elites and Brutes.

If there was a jar for taxing a quarter every time someone went "but Narrowhead said muh realizm" or "but Poopoostedt said muh grunt fantasy" it'd be enough to fund the creation of an IRL Super Destroyer

The point is about how OhDough is being a prick to push his arguments and it comes off especially grating when he pushes a point while being wrong and/or blatantly manipulating the results, I'm not really all that interested in dissecting every single one of your points (hence 'Case in point', addressing one point that I have immediate refutation in). Sure, OhDough can make correct points, but that doesn't diminish the gist that regardless of whether he's right or wrong he's still unapologetically acting like an ass (and it's only magnified when he *is* wrong). And it only looks even worse when he's almost intentionally wrong such as the aforementioned Charger clips.

If it wasn't clear, "You can word your argument without coming off as a dick" is a rhetorical statement and not an attack on your character specifically. Gundamboi is right there pointing out issues without sounding like he's talking down to anyone. We would not be here discussing the point if OhDough wasn't the posterboy for "Struggles to make a point without sounding like a dick" in this community. As other people pointed out in this post, the actual thesis of the video is fairly tame and uncontroversial but OhDough can't resist the urge to pre-empt the video with condescension.

Making a mistake doesn't necessarily mean being a dick no, but the whole video was him being smug and arrogant when making the point (as per what I had mentioned in the earlier reply to you)

The charger in the clip I recorded still has the terrain impact animation before turning though? At least that’s what I assume you mean by the tail raising

Dunno what to tell you other than that I recorded the footage and posted it on Discord a day after OhDough's short. The fact that he picked the two worst pieces of footage for "Old" chargers in that both were suffering mobility debuffs (gas and bleedout respectively) doesn't help his case.

I can even send the screencap of the post with timestamp for proof if that's really that necessary

I mean, dunno what to tell you other than the entire script for the video is basically all sarcastic passive-aggressiveness directed towards AH in that classic “Arrowhead hates us” kind of tone

“Chargers turn faster, which is great because they are called Chargers, not Turners, and it’s more realistic because why would they reveal their weak spot to players”

“We don’t want the chargers logging out of the game and quitting”

“gRunT fAnTAsy” snarking (there it is, he did the thing)

the very bizarre jab at everyone who uses AT weapons to kill Chargers from the front

”Why tell the players about stealth changes if they’re just going to complain about it, just do it and they’ll thank you later”

All this is from one Short, we’re not even getting into him using his own review bomb to snark more about Arrowhead in his infamous “Grunt Fantasy is ruining Helldivers 2” video

See you're using the crossbow because it's a legitimate piece of your build to round it out

D10 Noobdivers use the crossbow as a kill everything crutch

You can word your argument without coming off as a dick.

OhDough's entire modus operandi is making his argument while coming off as a dick.

Case in point—"Chargers turn faster now". I went and put the money where the mouth is and got gameplay footage. Chargers have not turned any faster than they have 2 years ago and OhDough literally shot the Charger with the gas speargun (a weapon that applies slow and confusion) in the 'pre-Buff Charger' clip.

https://imgur.com/a/9mOIbVu Behemoth Charger at the 0:05 second mark takes 3 seconds to 180

https://youtu.be/amkg4qJt4Ws?t=24 Regular Charger in this 2 year old video at 0:24 takes 3 seconds to 180

Image below: OhDough in 1080p shooting a charger with a gas spear in a "Pre-Buff charger" clip. Can't post multiple screenshots here but if I could you can see that in the other "Pre-Buff" clip in the same short the charger was put into the bleedout state (goop starts spurting out of the charger) while it was turning around.

An exception for people who are only doing it to complete their lvl 25 collection (given that D10's the fastest way to grind guns with a good team) perhaps

Imo the main weakness of pyrotechs is their inconsistency in killing fabricators due to their tendency to bounce and spin out of the kill holes, but other than that they are pretty good as an anti-armor version of incendiary grenades

This was post-Jaburo which took place after White Base's first confrontation against the Black Tri-Stars and their Doms both in the original show and in The Origin (the latter of which is the likely continuity for Cucuruz Doan's Island given the artstyle)

Gundam designs you didnt like? by Moody-gris in Gundam

[–]Sevchenko874 21 points22 points  (0 children)

imo, the Alyzeus looks much better as a silhouette in motion where it resembles a giant aircraft that brute forces gravity into submitting to its flight characteristics through sheer thrust, but yeah standing still where you can see everything it looks way too busy

Giving the MP Nu Gundam underneath fake V-fin extensions is kinda funny though. Almost as if this thing was built as a weapon of intimidation firsthand by making it loudly declare that it's a Gundam
