in the 250-350 range would be in the ballpark, unfortunately the tool I use for pulling the game models is super unstable and certain models make it insta-crash making it impossible to pull them and the orion just so happens to be one of them
Aside from a few minor balance things here and there, the only major thing I can think of is Hossin, since I don't remember when it came out. It's the newest continent, swampy.
New swamp continent, balancing, outfits, bug fixes(thank god), a couple new vehicles you always kinda wished were there... not much in the past year but acceptable
I started playing again a month back, there have been a lot of design changes to the areas, it isn't just a repetition of the same couple of bases over and over, there are differences between most bases (sometimes only small ones). As the others said there are now four continents, the gameplay itself is pretty much the same, just with more options from the new vehicles and such. There are also alerts (basically wars deciding who wins a continent, I'm not sure when they started), which result in bonuses to those who win and the temporary locking down of continents, along with a 30% increase in xp gained during the alert to anyone who participates.
you can always try. The game itself hasn't changed, but getting in an outfit makes this game amazing. There were also some updates since last year, but I dont know when what was implemented, so ill just name most of them;
-new vehicles: a 3 man jeep and a 5 men dropship
-map and capture changes: this one might be more then a year, but the capture system was changed and connected, you can only capture something connected directly in connection with one of your base. The terrain itself is also made to 'direct' people from base to base. Also, the bases themselves became more of a battlement instead of a tank shoot-em-up target.
-Implants: slight augmentations to your class of choice which uses power (gotten from 'achievements/medals' gotten by just doing **** ). they allow things like partial immunity to fall damage/emp grenades/flinch, seeing the health of a spotted enemy, auto spotting people you hit, regeneration, etc.
-smaller things, like new weapons for fighter plane, liberator, engineer (auto turret, anti-max sniper) etc etc.
just try it, and try getting in a fun outfit or squad instead of the overdedicated ones.
also, if you want, i could give you my name etc and we could dick around?
one thing that i freaking hate about NC (which i ordinarily love and play as main) is the dev's hard ons for Max Shottys. ******* garbage. So goddamn ******** . sure they are marginally better at close range but due to low ammo are **** for medium and long ranges. PLUS medium range is only not complete garbage if you spend an extra 150 certs to get the slug rounds and even then, low ammo means good ******* luck.
And that's not saying anything about the goddamn jackhammer. VS? long range splash lazer gun. TR? ******* chaingun that mows people down at close/medium ranges no problem. NC? ************* shotgun with extra bullets. The bruiser is better with only 4 rounds because it can one-shot someone at close range but every faction has a version of that (Blackjack and Deimos). So goddamn ******** .
Oh and the unique pistol shotgun is so goddamn dumb as well.
So goddamn DUMB. They need to find a different gun type for NC.
Is this game worth paying money for?
I used to play it, and played a sniper. Game was too laggy for me to effectively headshot from long distances, but it was pretty fun what I did play.
