Are you having fun? My friends won't be on until later tonight so I'm playing a few missions in between doing work.
What's a good loadout for solo AR on hard to avoid being swarmed? I think I've died twice on mission 11 or 12, the one with lodes e spoders. When the 4 ships drop spiders at once I get overrun and killed by webs before I can clear a path out
I want my mobile fortress already, game. Please gib mobile fortress

Played up to mission 30 with my girlfriend. It's still just as enjoyable as 4.1 and I really like the new frog enemies. I just wish air raider would get vehicles quicker. I've only unlocked 1 tank, 1 mech and 1 depth crawler
Joseph Barnes
I'm looking right now and there's literally HUNDREDS of rooms
Cameron White
But I'm a pirate since I'm a poorfag, and there's no lobbies either

It's on PC now, huh? A whole new generation of CHAOTIC ON THE SCENE begins.
Aaron Baker
Also I shouldn't care, but the achievements seem really boring compared to 4.1 it's more or less only tied to your percentage completion.

I downloaded the rar in the last thread, i can connect to other lobbies

Josiah White
Does the last 2 difficulties open when you finish the story modo?I exclusively play at hard, just reached mission 19 and want to go back and do the missions on the insane difficulty now. Also god damn when does fencer get good, every weapon I get is shit compared to that one xboxhueg ranged lance
Jackson Perry
yeah beat the last mission with any difficulty to open up hardest and inferno
Austin Foster
FUCK THIS MISSION Needs to be 10 minutes shorter. Also thanks for playing anons!
So what's the best sub 30 mission to farm weapons this time?
Dominic Brown
Pft no. Just jump in a room and start screaming EDF. You'll be good.
Wyatt Perry
82. the mission with the giant robot. It can tank the whole level on inferno and you'll collect about 30 weapons boxes
Sebastian Wood
>sub 30 mission >82 Not the best at math now, are you? Thanks anyways user

I will start another lobby in like 30 minutes anons I need to make my imouto lunch

Lincoln Taylor
I just had Wing Diver anons carry me through those levels with flying shit. Early game Air Chad is suffering
Hudson Young
So what's the go to for Wing Diver in this game? I remember in 4.1 he Idunn D and thunder bow basically carried through hard mode really easy. I've been using he Phalanx W1 so far to good effect, but i'm not sure how long it will keep.
Not worth it. I have it on an hdd and it loads in like sub 10 second
Jonathan Phillips
Wing Diver dash is so good.
Bentley Diaz
Wing Diver's "wind it up first" weapons are absolute dogshit, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING. I hope there's more normal weapons later on, because those ones are fucking unusable.
You mean the grenades? Some of those are pretty good.
Julian Cox
Fuck you, dragoon lances, splasher and to some extent that one fucking laser gun that deals more dmg when at higher ammo count are all baller

I pirated it to try out and the first few missions suck ass so far. Does it get better soon?
Joseph Turner
I have a 2GB 770 and ran 4.1 fine, should I get this or just get it on PS4? Anyone have a similar spec card?

Laser weapons have insane damage drop off in this game based on how much charge you have left, making them basically garbage.
Blake Foster
How do you shield cancel now? Doesn't seem to work or I totally forgot how to do it.
Leo Cruz
It quite literally deals less damage than any other damage when you reach half mag so you essentially have to keep it full, winding it up to full
Christian Smith
Shooting mechanics don't feel as good as 4.1 DESU. All the weapons feel a bit wimpy and weak.
Alexander White

That's not my point, my point is: YOU CLICK IT SHOOTS YOU RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON IT STOPS SHOOTING YOU CLICK IT SHOOTS HOLY SHIT AMAZING DESIGN WORKED FOR DECADES Instead of: YOU HOLD THE MOUSE BUTTON FOR SOME ARBITRARY TIME THEN YOU IT TO SHOOT AND THEN IT SHOOTS FOR SOME ARBITRARY TIME, WITH ONLY INDICATION OF IT BEING A SMALL AS FUCK AMMO COUNTER

Jack Phillips
damn thats kinda wack to bring him out that early then
Austin Anderson
are you playing with KB+M or a controller?
Henry Hill
Any recommended graphic tweaks? I've done all I can with the ingame stuff to stop it running like a sideshow but that involves switching to 720p and disabling shadows. I've never played EDF for the graphics but Jesus, everything is blurred. What have other anons done? I imagine setting it borderless would help a little. Any known ini tweaks?
Samuel Martin
KB+M for me i dont use vehicles right now though so they might handle better with controller
Nathan Lewis
Is there any chance it'll run on a 660?
Colton Roberts
Whats your specs? I have a 770 and just got it hoping I dont have to refund. Ive heard window mode fixes a lot
Blake Bailey
I miss the singing from 4.1
Angel Kelly
I take it you've never used any kind of gatling gun in a video game
Kevin Green
I can't play any kind of shooty game with a controller
Mine gathers dust until it's RPG time or an action game
Austin Thomas
Yeah this singing sucks. I'm gonna take a look at the files after I play a few rounds to see if I can swap it out.
Aaron Hill
Anyone wanna play a pirate lobby?
Gabriel Wilson

Evan Ross
What are you even saying? did shitposting melt your brain?
God i forgot just how fucking bad the camera controls are before fucking with them massively. Isn't there supposed to be a way to alter the vertical sens separately.
Jason Watson
I have 4.1 on and I love it, but the online is dead. How much of a difference is there between that one and 5?
You can stop the gatling gun and fire it in bursts, without planning it out beforehand. With this retarded system after releasing the trigger you're doomed to shoot out the entire magazine or cancel it with rolling (now that's a deep mechanic innit) and still lose the entire magazine anyways.
Noah Morris
I miss Whale. This new guy has no personality.
Carter Cox
I'm only on like mission 10
Leo Campbell
gtx 960 i7 7700 Not great but quite frustrating as I can get the Witcher 3 running on it very nicely with less headache. Have just tried borderless and it does the grand total of fuck all. Might have to tolerate the low rez by role-playing as a ranger who lost his glasses.

Please do report back if you can figure something out. I would like to be able to sing about the edf deploying again as well

Heavy Splatling in Splatoon 2 works exactly like the EDF weapon you're bitching about, with the exact same weaknesses to balance the benefits.
Isaiah Miller
starting in 3 minutes, still one spot open
Oliver Powell
One specific unique gun for an example huh, I guess I really >never used any kind of gatling gun in a video game It's retarded to put it on so many weapons for Wing Diver, especially on ones it doesn't even fit (the short range burst weapons for example).
Benjamin Hughes
A few gameplay tweaks but it's pretty much the same. Air Raider gets four item slots now, certain weapons reload automatically when not equipped. I'm pretty disappointed with this one. It's just reskinned 4.1 with a couple different enemies. Even the maps are reused. Overall it's a 10 dollar expac sold as a brand new game
Joshua James
ill join after dinner in 10 mins if its still around
Luke Murphy
the online population for the first 3 months of release will be good coin toss after that though, might need to find out groups to play with at that point
Ryder Carter
Those maps have been reused since the PS2 and in multiple games not just EDF
Gabriel Russell
where can pirate
Ryan Foster
Yeah but come on, it's full price. I'll wait until it goes in a steep sale to actually buy it.
Matthew Green
You can safely ignore all the weapon dlc since it will be outclassed like 4 missions into the campaign just like they were in edf 4.1, but the extra mission packs might be worth it. Also I do hope we get the starship troopers collaboration dlc
Blake Morris
Two legs, two arm, one head, bipedal. Exactly like us!
Nolan Jones
Blasted through 39 missions on normal today
The fact that you get armor and weapons for every class as you play is a huge plus.
not really mad. it just doesn't make me grin like a dope the same way i would any time they'd work "GIANT INSECTS" in to a line, though. monsters feels so generic, kind of loses a lot of character.
Benjamin Collins
you are correct
Carson Campbell
problem with waiting that long is EDF doesn't really go on sale for the first year, and when a sale does it's something like -25% which isn't much better than the -20% launch discount right now. plus at that point the online population is gonna be really low at around the 300~ mark
Julian Baker
I agree. I've been buying new EDF releases for the past decade and every time I see the maps, the same enemies and the same assets. I could tolerate the reused stuff between 2017 and 4.1 because 4.1 added 3 new classes, loads of new enemies and weapons that were more fun to use. But paying another $40 for a marginally improved 4.1? Fucking criminal.
Hunter Ross
how do i into wing diver
Dominic Mitchell
Wait that starship dlc is a legitimate thing?
Jace Davis
>price of an AAA game >looks like a PS3 game >in 2019
i like the armor thing but the weapons i wish would still only drop for whoever you're playing so you could just focus on a specific class and not return to a character having 15 new weapons to choose from.
>marginally improved 4.1 >100+ new levels >large class changes >large QoL changes >new weapons >new vehicles >new enemies and mechanics >marginally improved What the fuck do people expect out of sequels.
Get a rapier and buzz around groups of enemies holding fire til everything dies. Or get that charge up shotgun plasma cannon and artillery the fuck out of them from the air at a distance. Works for me so far. The homing shots are a lot nicer than in 4.1 as well it seems. Fly for like two seconds, land, fly again, repeat to get around. Her dash ability gives you some great control now too to make quick adjustments and also gives you that pick-up circle like Ranger's sprint so getting armor and weapon boxes is even faster now.

Then go play Iron Rain. You might notice that it has 1/10th the bugs of EDF5. Almost like higher quality graphics sacrifices good horde gameplay...
Juan Williams
Wait are there new skins as the game goes on or is that one of the billion DLC available?
Josiah Edwards
>100+ new levels Which reuse assess that are at least a decade old >large class changes Like sprinting for Rangers? Groundbreaking. Or the Fencer's dash cancelling being canonised? Amazing. >large QoL changes No disagreements here >new weapons There's a few good ones here and there. But again, they've reused everything. Renaming weapons doesn't count either. >new vehicles Another nice improvement >new enemies and mechanics This is a funny one, because despite Sandlot having a hard on for reusing the same assets for the past 10 years, they decided to scrap all the new enemies introduced in 4.1 in favour of giant frogs. Why they couldn't keep them while also adding stuff is beyond me. >What the fuck do people expect out of sequels. Shit, I don't know, a notably new abd fresh addition to the franchise? One that doesn't resuse all the same shit as the past three installments? People are comparing about the 60fps cap which is hilarious because it can barely maintain 50 when fuck all is happening.
Joshua Murphy
You don't. You now get a set amount of dashes and jumps. They can be upgraded with equipment.
Thanks user was going to buy this but without speed fencer it isn’t worth full price.
Elijah Robinson
Come on user, the game is only active for so long, dont leave it too late. Its a sad world we live in where games like this never last, wonder how it would fare if it had character customization and was just updated with cosmetics and weapons every so often.
>posting the exact same shit more than once This is fucking begging in disguise and you are a fucking nigger
Hunter Roberts
Do I need to pick up the weapon/armor crates or are those shared between the players?

Brody Gray
@Fencer mains, how are you moving around? I tried double Blasthole Spears but two seems excessive. I guess Boost - Hop - Boost - Spear, repeat is the best movement method?
Nicholas James
How do I beat mission 5 as air raider on hard? I can barely contribute to the drones
Connor Price
Nah I can't...
Leave me alone nigga, just go and enjoy your game and let me cry in my corner.
>shoot goliath D1 at a frog >it becomes a quadiplegic with all its 4 limbs missing
Jaxon Reyes
>mfw literally carry lording everyone as Fencer
You guys don't understand shit, at lower missions Hard modo is either about not dying or raw DPS.
Lvl 0 Galic Heavy Cannons have 500 damage penetration and hit from a mile away and the NC Hand Canons at higher levels are possibly some of the best weapons in the game.
When you get to that mission where there's a Frog invasion you'll know what I'm talking about, you either kill the wave before they get
If you get upgrades for one of the plasma big canons it will last you about probably for more than half of hard mode? Like at +9 weapon star damage it does some non-sensical damage that it 1 shots flying saucers.
Oh user, the fencer is faster than ever. If you wait that guy will post the webms of the fencer literally flying around the map. It's just not easy to do with low level equipment.
Wing diver mobility is insane now you just hop and boost across the map. Like an easier fencer from 4. Real fun gliding above swarms and taking down frogs fast, the way they reworked her weapons is pretty cool. Air raider is even more busted now once you get a nix with four weapons it's over for the aliens.
Lincoln Reed
>That first saucer mission on hard I beat it on singleplayer with no problems, then when I was playing with friends and we got to it it kicked our asses.
Camden Powell
>only 1-2 threads >not even near bump limit This game is going to die in a week.
Kayden Stewart
>Frog aliens >"I bet they are weak to water"
my sides
Tyler Nguyen
the one i have 1 shots the initial enemies so im hoping i can get upgrades for it
Jack Wilson
>NC Hand Canons at higher levels Oh, you're my friend then. Combine them with spine driver, as many dashes as you can get and muzzle stabiliser and you have a weapon platform that pretty much does the whole game without effort. Can dash cancel by shooting either weapon, and the weapons cancel fire each other increasing close range damage.
A lot of the textures in this game are high res (4096x4096 or something close). Now if I can just figure out how to apply the texture to the model without a UV map since it didn't dump one...
Angel Allen
on par with 4.1 except now fullscreen is broken for some people they probably wont fix it
What are you talking about? I've been full screen the whole time with no issues.
Brody Richardson
Dude, by the end of 4 the ravagers had killed us down to less than a thousand people and this was considered a great victory.
Julian Robinson
Choppers are usually all dogshit but they handle better and better the higher the level.
Jace Perry
>Port is shit Really? I have everything maxed out fullscreen and never drops under 60fps in all the 14 missions I have done no nasa pc, just average, 1660Ti and I5-9400f
Andrew Cook

Ayden Davis
Go to the cs.rin.ru thread and grab the steamworks v2 fix.
Nolan Cox
Does anyone have any tips for making kb+m not suck? I already did the override high dpi but i still get these small jumps and it overall still feels a bit weird. Like i'm using a controller through the mouse.

I've only used the Fencer for one mission, couldn't figure out how to do the speedy stuff. Is the reflector function just gone or what? How do I get back to boosting? I always got to the voice menu with the arrow keys, maybe just the right one.
Dominic Carter
Press the right arrow key and behold the most comprehensive list of voice commands you've ever seen. Sadly not all of them are actually voiced, but they will still appear as speech bubbles
Elijah Thompson
>He's unaware of the sheer team carrying capability of an Air Raider on Inferno >He doesn't wipe out entire hordes of xeno filth with a single air strike
This is just 4.1 improved really, get 4.1 and see if you like it, as much as Yea Forums loves it It really isnt for everyone. Ive known people to find it boring, which is bizarre considering the content but its a common criticism.
Xavier Wright
Fencer fast now operates on using dash into hop, you get support equipment that give you extra counts of those so you can keep chaining them before they have that short cooldown. You just need a weapon with a dash and a weapon with a hop. For example: blasthole sepear and dexter shotgun. Reflecting still exists, but it's not spammable anymore.
Brayden Cook
How many mechs does the Air Raider have in this?
I like a variety of rombin stompin bug killing machines. Also is the Balam back and better?
Julian Brooks

When the Air Raider can consistently out-beat your class without trying, you have a bad class.
Charles Howard
>implying, despite the buffs, EDF5 isn't significantly harder than 4.1 on Hard and above Have you even played the game
Jace Hill
To be fair the Air Raider only really shines outdoors with no roof or giant alien ship. We're pretty gimped once you take our Air Strikes away.
Hunter Rogers
>out-beat >ESL has to make up words to try to defame based Fencer I'll just be over here unkillably flying around the entire map at lightspeed with the best weapons doing millions of damage while you pout on the 80% of maps that aren't open fields
Ethan Jones
based retard, i award you one (you)
John Lewis
any etiquette in playing online to be aware of? i know friendly fire exists and can guess don't shoot rockets or toss air strikes into your teammates, dont take health if someone needs it more, etc. do people get bitchy if you try out weapons and don't have the optimal set up? does playing a certain class mean you've unspokenly agreed to do something like take out specific enemy types or pick up loot?
Nah, just try your best to contribute to the team. Don't jump in front of others while they are firing if you can help it. Give health to those who need it. And people only get really picky on Inferno. Just have fun and find what works.
Josiah Hughes
nah just make sure youre helping out and youll be fine theres no real meta
Cameron Hall
>we have lost 20% of human population in the last 5 months >20 PERCENT?! That doesn't sound too bad kek
Gavin Harris
I don't know who is running the VAs for these games but I love them for it. They could have the actors try to read the lines seriously or have them make sense with other lines. Nope, just lose B grade nonsense.
Adrian Nelson
Oh, I WILL say however, if you're going to be a Wing Diver then don't go half a mile into enemy territory away from the group unless you are very confident. In that chance you die you put the others at risk when they have to run to you for a revive. Can't tell you how many times a mission will grind to a halt and fail because WDs decided they are superman.
Charles Cox
i checked, there's no subtitles for EDF 5 gotta crank up the voice SFX
Hunter Gray
When it's down to the last enemy on the stage, like an ant or something, don't kill it and instead pick up all the drops on the map. Once that's done you can kill it.
Brayden Murphy
I remember someone posting a MEGA link years ago that had all the audio files from 4.1 ripped. If someone has that, post it.
Tyler James
alright, all common sense stuff then it seem, cool. thanks for the input

Aaron Miller
Anyone want to run a non-pirate game on Steam? I'm just starting it up for the first time.
Charles Perry
Being an Air Raider most of the time I'm usually in the back and the last man standing. Then everyone looks at you like "Why aren't you saving us?!"
Daniel Cruz
Is this fun to play with alone? I don't have friends
Austin Brown
Yes, but you don't need friends for this in multiplayer. Hell you're more likely to make friends. Just jump in a room and start screaming EDF at people.

>we slowly work out a strategy and overcome the challenge The AI bugged out and had them run on the ceiling doing nothing
Logan Smith
Yes I have, everything is easy. Ranger can call vehicle and sprint, Air Raider can carry weapon that isn't stick dart gun, Fencer is even more OP and can solo every mission, wing diver can dodge mid air and weapon can be fired while charging, new loot system can make you OP very early in the game
Jordan Nguyen
So when do I get the good sniper rifles on ranger?

Keep playing until you get one? Leveling up what you have is also viable.

Just because you don't know a word doesn't meant the translation is wrong.
Where did I learn sortie? Armored Core I think.
Xavier Roberts
Do you eventually get a replacement for the Blasthole Spear and Galleon Tank Gun? It's been about 20 missions but everything else I've gotten doesn't compete with this tried and true always kill never die untouchable duo.
Jonathan Bennett
>That one mission in 4.1 with 4(?) giant beehives and someone starts shooting at multiple at the same time
>470065130 It's a repost from a previous thread, fishing for (You)s. The reality is the translation is extremely poor, though, it's clear there weren't any native English speakers involved especially in the credits which only list ching names.
Sebastian Reed
Fuck what was that? 92? Fuck that mission on Inferno.
Thomas Robinson
Honestly the blasthole spear can pretty much carry you through the whole game, though I have found that the jackhammer can be useful against Colonists and Cosmonauts as for the secondary weapon I recommend experimenting and having fun with anything that gives you the jump boost. Personally I have been having quite a lot of fun running Blasthole with the Cannon Shot.
Dominic Cox
Yeah, it's called Blasthole Spear 2. Spine Driver is a nice sidegrade though.
Ryan White
I dig giant robots! You dig giant robots?
Mason Price
I liked the mission because of how methodical you had to be about it, you couldn't just spray and pray your way through it but man was it tough.
Noah Morgan
>Pick fencer >No movement speed >Aiming is floaty as fuck Glad I pirated this
Austin Garcia
>tfw did that mission on Inferno with a dream team of random strangers online using Air raider and some legendary Fencer dash cancelling
Found the shitter. Fencer is the fastest class in the game when played correctly.
Josiah Rogers
>>Pick fencer >>No movement speed Point at him and laugh.
Jackson Ward
Fair enough. I'll keep my eyes open for #2 and more jump guns.
Robert Lee
>those few moments where the victorious music starts playing and the EDF are actually winning It's worth noting this only happens around three times (where they're ACTUALLY winning and not just thinking they're winning). EDF5 is a really dark game when you pay attention, even moreso than 4.
Luke Jackson
I get to post this again at last, still true for 5
Which mission is the equivalent of Normandy Beach killing a thousand ants on a nearly flat surface Every EDF has this, just tell me how far in I gotta go
Chase Cox
They have the typical Fire Ant beach level in 5.
Carson Cooper
Based
Christopher Morales
Am I supposed to only have a half dozen weapons 3 hours into the game? Getting tired of my shitty gatling gun.
Josiah Price
>trying to fly helicopter for the first time in 4.1 what's with these controls
You can always jump up to hard on a easy mission and grind a bit.
Ethan Lee
They all fly like bricks. The higher the level the better they control however.
Brody Ortiz
There are actually several massive field battle style missions in the game. The earliest one I can think of is I think 38, similar to that one with the billion Hectors in 4.1 but colonists instead and thankfully no shield bearers. There are multiple more, though, with the last one being an absolute clusterfuck with, no joke, 20+ fucking godzillas and bowsers plus shitloads of every other enemy type. Runs at the pace of a tenth of a snail on PS4.
Zachary Cox
>mission 6 is too damn hard as Fencer but too damn easy as Ranger ???
Aiden Cox
how does 5 compare to 4.1, I had a blast playing it like it was eurojank, but I'm hoping for some actual polish this time...
EDF was always jank, but 4.1 and 5 are the best jank.
David Scott
>still so many shit weapons that I cant even remotely consider in 99% of situations As Fencer I was using a lv 0 Blasthole spear I started with up till like mission 20 on hard because all the other melee weapons are fucking trash. I only stopped using it because I got a blasthole spear m2 Also if the mortars didnt have jump pack I literally think they are all shit, piercing is way more valuable, especially as Fencer being that you can easily kite away from enemies and have them all huddle up after you. Gallic cannon blast their asses till they get close again. Another plus is you aren't scattering enemies all over the place instead of killing them in a higher hp 4 player room.
Still no kurwa, but a lot of usability improvements. I actually find 4.1 flat compared to 5 and difficult to go back to, even though it recycles a lot of content and mission designs. I guess you could think of it like a massive 4.1 expansion.
Sebastian Gray
So I'm to take it that the framerate bug with fullscreen only affects some people? I went in with it and it was 60 for all situations that my rig could handle. Only when there was a lot of dust in the air did it start to drop to 45.
Maybe it was because I Alt-Tabbed a few times looking at the EDF thread before starting a stage?
Ryder Davis
Star ranks are EXTREMELY important for all weapons, to the point where star ranks can outweight weapon levels. So a level 40 weapon with average 0 to 1 or 2 stars is literally worthless while the same weapon with near max stars can outdo a level 50 in most cases.
Jeremiah Scott
The only bug I've experienced is stuttering as low as 1 FPS whenever something loads in and when many ants dies. Thankfully there was some guy who managed to find a fix for that or at least a fix that worked on my machine(tm)
New recruit here. Is the tank supposed to operated so stiffly? It's even hard to aim with a mouse. The sensitivity is all over the place.
Adrian Cruz
I'm at mission 26 on fresh Hard and my first shotgun cannon (A) is still better than the (B) variant because I just can't find another better copy of it.
I knew this would happen with an "upgrade" system such as this; its a direct downgrade of the grind in that you can't count on a new weapon being useful, though an upgrade for pure new game variety I guess.
Henry Carter
yes the controls for vehicles are tied to the vehicle level low level ones control like dogshit
Aiden Evans
Yep. You'll get used to it. At least you get a laser sight, I had to learn without one (kinda wish it was togglable like Iron Rain)
Asher Lee
Man as a Air Raider I have the worst time with that fucking thing.
Isaiah Martinez
EDF is in the same genre as arma or squad Change my mind
Michael Green
As in friends get together and have dumb fun? Yeah pretty much.
Angel Baker
I just bought this fucking game again. Paid the full price on PS4, the PC version is superior except for the 1 percent chance that you'll encounter a hacker - backup your saves regularly.
Jeremiah Ortiz
5 already keeps backups for you.
Luke Morgan
this is pretty accurate which unfortunately says a lot about vanquish
Joseph Long
You guys play with KB+M or controllers? I figure KB+M would be generally better but Air Raider for example has those mechs that have four different weapons that are pretty easy to handle with a controller.
Zachary Nguyen
>Aiming is floaty as fuck The only problem I have with Fencer. I understand what they were going for, and when played with a controller it does make you feel heavy as fuck which is awesome, but it feels disgusting to do it with a mouse.
Nathan Price
Aiming always feels better overall with mouse. While vehicles might be easier with a controller they are only a small part of the game. Only the menus really feel like jank with KB+M but 4.1 was even worse menu jank.
Alexander Wilson
5 doesn't make them any better, m8, they all control like the Titanic until you get the super high level ones.
Mason Watson
I've always thought EDF has the tightest controller aiming of any game. I would liken it to Max Payne 3 perhaps. It helps that the enemies are so large, but even precision shots on distant moving targets are entirely doable with a controller, and to me that's almost a unique feature compared to other console shooters. That said, the mouse emulation is absolutely spot on, even capturing the weighty feel of the heavier weapons, so it's all good.
Angel Roberts
I wish there was a Walk button,
Isaac Phillips
Is there a way to change the visual skins once you're no longer a 'civilian'? I
Ethan Green
Are WD power cores reliant on having the higher stats from higher level ones before they start having good thrust or has the class been universally mobility-nerfed from 4.1? While the boost allows for maintaining height with minimal energy cost, actually getting up in the air feels sluggish now, not like the constant high jumps 4.1 WDs are able to loop infinitely?
Ayden Cook
What's difference between this and 4.1? Which one should I buy if I never played these games?
Samuel White
After you finish the game you can change it.
Jonathan Bennett
edf edf edf
Logan Flores
5 is 4.1 but way, wayyyy better Its also a reboot
Christopher Lewis
At the risk of getting in trouble with our Asian overlord, if you want to see what the various classes are capable of in EDF5, here is a pro player to watch on YouTube. Remove spaces as per the usual manner.
How different is EDF Iron Rain compared to 5 or 4.1? Is it actually a sequel to Insect Armageddon? Is it good?
Isaac Bennett
Iron Rain and IA are the retarded step child of EDF.
Jace Scott
the amount of shit flying at you in the final level of insect armageddon is like the 5th level in of normal edf and there's well over 100 levels
Oliver Morgan
Well in the same way that 5 is just 4.1 but better, is Iron Rain just IA but better or are they completely different things?
Caleb Morgan
Iron rain is designed for fortnite/anthem players
Nathaniel Sanders
You want my honest opinion? Don't bother with Iron Rain. Just play 4.1 or 5.
David Harris
I'm just trying to figure out why IR exists, like what does it provide that 5 doesn't. A direct sequel to IA would be an option, since I'm sure there are people who are fans of it.
John Perry
>was Air Raider 75% of the time in 4.1 >try Fencer here >meh >try it again while actually equipping a dash and a jump and not stupid shit like a shield and a zoom weapon man, I have a new favorite
It's an attempt to make edf mainstream in West. Because no matter how you look at it, in West edf is niche game.
Liam Johnson
>jumped into game without reading the manual >don't see Weapon/Ammo boxes do anything during battles so don't bother going out of my way to pick them up >a few missions later realise they're where the drops come from Goddamn I feel so dumb now. Also the mission with the drones dropping from the large UFO made me feel actual fear, the sense of scale and overwhelming force in this game is incredible.
Levi Parker
you haven't seen shit yet user
Austin Howard
That. But also the PTSD it induces
Isaiah Hernandez
I can't believe how short this game is.
Jaxon Clark
Can't wait. Will I get to change out of my security guard vest at any point in the game?
Jason Jenkins
>It's an attempt to make edf mainstream in West But Insect Armageddon was that. Now I don't know how popular it was in the west, but I'd like to think that anybody that heard of EDF would have also heard of 2025 by then and would have sought that out instead of IA.
why are the vehicle charge costs so expensive now in 4.1 you could drop them right when you spawn but in 5 you can't even drop the shitty low level ones immediately
Lucas Thomas
Is there any reason to use the shotguns when they're so slow to reload? Keeping them for big guys and/or waiting for reload speed to upgrade?
Austin Wood
>Ranger can get vehicle drops now Damn, no more Air Raiding for me.
Jason Brown
Shotguns are great. Pierce (denoted PT in the inventory) is incredibly strong in this game.
Mason Cooper
>Are you having fun?
No. My mouse won't stop skipping around no matter what fixes I apply. I'm not setting my fucking mouse to 125hz either.
Landon Phillips
I play Ranger. I bring a bike every single time. I spend 95% of my time in it no matter the mission. I will not apologize. I was born to ride.
How do I move fast as fencer? It looks like the dash cancel was removed
Adam Clark
That's because you're dumb and can't infer basic information. Online missions have level limits determined by the difficulty. Star value is how upgraded the weapon is.
Joseph Russell
You need to dual wield weapons with horizontal and vertical boosts and combo them now.
Connor Russell
Only after you get to a safe place.
Oliver Campbell
Oh I've been doing that, that's not as fun but fair enough
Adam Morgan
There are support items you want to try and get that increase the amount of times you can boost, they are pretty easy to get, just stick at it.
Aaron Cook
It starts off slow compared to 4.1 but once you get enough boost accessories you become a speed demon.
Anthony Lewis
Weapon level denotes its overall placing on the list, higher level things tend to be better than lower level ones (of the same brand, some brands are just useless). It only means anything in multiplayer where each stage has a weapon level cap to force you to use level-appropriate equipment in earlier stages rather than bringing the most advanced gun into stage 1.
Stars are the separate upgrade values for each stat of a weapon. Each weapon pickup has a random amount of stars assigned to its stats which boost the value of that stat. The weapon you own will always have the highest star value you have ever found in every stat, so eventually after picking up enough weapon dupes your weapons will have max upgraded stats.
Nathan Wright
>Bought the game >Downloaded the game >"I'll play a bit before going to bed to see how it runs" >Without realizing three hours passed and now I have a pretty awful headache due to tiredness
The gameplay is better, but 5 feels off... The VAs isn't really amusing / corny enough, NPC banter is worse than 4.1's and mission feels like filler. Granted it's still early game, but i'm getting bored too quickly.
Carson James
FIX MY MOUSE JITTERING NOW FUCKING JAP FAGGOTS
Juan Wilson
Playing air raider with sentries and also more sentries is fun as fuck
Robert Watson
May God not let you stop ever
Luis Perez
I have a really poor toaster. Can I run this game at lowest settings, if they have them?
i5 6400 2.8 mh geforce 730 (not even a gtx, I know)
Yes, that's the worst part about 5. It's got less SOUL than 4.1. The EDF song is utterly inferior, the shouts aren't as enthusiastic, the Fencer design is worse, and you're always a HEY THERE NEW-BIE.
Michael Evans
>using a mouse in an edf game
absolutely not deployed.
Nolan Martinez
Any other airchads have an issue where shit will launch itself? >charging up grenade throw >mid charge it just releases >I now have a huge artillery strike right on my position this shit is annoying. Happening with Wing Diver as well, on all weapons that need to charge up. It will start charging a little bit and then fire
Dominic Gomez
Thanks user, I get it now.
Jaxson Barnes
Holy shit that's catchy
Joseph Rivera
sounds like idolshit
Charles Murphy
...that's the point, user
Nicholas Diaz
that happened to me a few times i thought it was my mouse but i guess its just the game
Lincoln Davis
Are you gonna dump all the voice lines? I'd like to hear air raider's air strike lines
Maybe you stumbled on some small chunk of terrain and that counts as an interrupt on your grenade charge?
Jordan Barnes
Thought that was it, but it happens when I stand still as well
Cameron Russell
That requires sifting through a few thousand audio clips since the main audio files aren't labeled. I just posted a decoy clip because they have their own audio package. So, eventually.
Lincoln Gray
>just dropped 100 bucks on a new controller and some books >no money left to buy edf 5
feelsbadman, 4.1 it is for now.
Brody Carter
I like it and almost owant to buy the decoys for the music. But then I realize the decoys are useless since there is plenty of other more useful shit
Alexander Lee
How do you beat this mission where you wait for the grim niggers whatever the fuck they are called? >airstrikes kills first wave of frogs >next wave with spiders is no problem >then you flanked from both sides by frogs while 100 drones fly in the front >when you kill 1 drone another 100 show up along with 200 spiders and artillery frogs
fuck the grim shitters they didnt kill a goddamn thing
Caleb Murphy
Does shooting frogs in the head make a difference compared to shooting them in the body?
Joseph Watson
There was an issue with wing divers in the first patch of 5, in which the WD could fly indefinitely with certain high recoil weapons. This allowed the WD to pull aggro from infinity dragons/tadpoles without getting hit while flying in circles. The next patch reduced a lot of her verticality, but she's still very mobile horizontally and still has a good amount of verticality. WD is still ezmode in spite of the nerfs. There are a few cores that increase lift speed but they are few and far between. Usually having more power or boost speed will be more important.
Wyatt White
Yeah, and it's failed (despite being better game as Iron Rain in everything but content and weapons) D3 is just dumb, they want actual mainstream audience Gears of War level or Halo. They know classic mainline EDF is popular here, but not enough for them. That's why they keep wasting time and money on spinoffs.
Mason Jackson
Half of everything in the game is useless, what's one more?
>we made a grenade with timer so you can get away to safety if you flub the throw >its 30 seconds long
Wyatt Butler
If I make a spreadsheet for the many audio files, is anyone willing to help label the audio files?
Jackson Sullivan
>The next patch reduced a lot of her verticality, Dang, that's gonna sting. I really miss the way she flies in 4.1. At least the power supply seems to be very generous in 5.
Dylan Reyes
You bet your sweet ass trooper, you want to live forever?
Kevin Reyes
They still stick to vehicles, just a headsup.
Lincoln Moore
I wanna know this too. Every time I get a gun in my hand it automatically points at some frog's head.
Grayson Thompson
my last $55 dollars do i buy this game?
Owen Peterson
absolutely
Michael Peterson
earth isnt gonna defend itself soldier
Mason Nelson
If you got friends to play it with. Playing it alone is miserable
nice theres plenty of lobbies online so just jump right in i would start on heard since normal is usually too easy but its up to you
Daniel Reed
In 4.1, your vehicle was the AR's "gun," but I guess a lot of people complained about not being able to use their air support, so they made the gunships more gunlike. Outside of the Nyx, the vehicles feel like an afterthought in 5.
All of the bipedal aliens have a fixed health pool. All limbs and torso have a 1x multiplier that contribute to that pool so you can kill a frog from repeated dismemberment. Head has something like a 1.33x multiplier and cause them to drop about 2x item crates if you blow off their head for the kill since all aliens are guaranteed drops
If it gives you any solace, if you hop and then boost before you thrust, you'll maintain your momentum in that vector. You can pull off pretty cheeky stuff if you can get a good turn speed and use analog movement to keep that vector.
Jackson Wilson
Just pirate it and try before you buy. Don't drop $50 just because a few anons say so.
Matthew Hughes
So its Killing Floor rules, thanks a lot for clarifying it anons.
so do vehicles get better handling as they level up? or do you just have to wait for a higher version of it
Lucas Gutierrez
You better hope those higher versions of vehicles drop
Nolan Bell
Was that how KF worked? At least these frogs don't have to bleed out or whatever.
Levi Perry
seems like lower deployment costs, better handling is for the higher leveled vehicles i'm really starting to hate this weapon upgrade system though
Robert Gutierrez
anyone get the pirate online steamfix patch to work? the steamapi.dll prevents the game from even starting and plugging the original back in lets it run like normal but no online.
Caleb Hill
PIRATECHADS WIN AGAIN
Isaac Gray
The next place will DEFINITELY be safe
Ayden Gonzalez
>Get to the mission where the black Fencer squad shows up >Watch them dash cancel across the map and rape frogs to death like it's nothing Did I just get carried?
i wish they did that for me those jobbers bit it as soon as they arrived
Mason Carter
hows the netcode with different countries and stuff?
Zachary Gomez
I hear that squad is programmed to behave like Fencer players in 4.1 so it's very possible.
Liam Nelson
how the fuck do you bike with keyboard?
Benjamin Parker
do they only show up if you kill enemies? I cant kill ten thousand drones. If I just kite as a wing Diver for a while will they show up and save the day
Austin White
Is it me or does this game suck you off extra hard with its dialogue? 90% of the dialogue is just the NPCs instructing you what to do or complementing you with how they underestimated your fighting ability.
Henry Nguyen
Can this game actually be played solo? I'm fucking struggling playing with 3 other people on hard
Owen Gutierrez
I was playing online a couple hours ago. Grab the v2 from cs.rin.ru and paste it over.
Ethan Nelson
>I just keep bombing the aliens, is there something else should I be doing too? Sounds like good damn plan to me
Hudson Moore
that's what i did and the game just never launches no matter how long i wait. no window no crash no nothing until i use the steamapi from the original crack again. don't understand what there is i could fuck up copy-pasting 3 files, but it all seems to hinge on the .dll in v2 (tried v1 as well same thing) being the issue.
Mason Nelson
Can you get the edf 4.1 skins eventually?
Adam Morris
>"I'm gonna shoot the teleport ships outta the sky from below!"
>proceeds to stand around doing absolutely nothing while waiting for the nameless Air Raider to do the job I had to restart that mission because I was and still am very gunship-happy so I didn't have a limpet launcher.
Cameron Scott
Request done for the user that wanted it in one of the previous threads, hope you see it OR.
On the solo play, if you play in ascending difficulty from hard to inferno, the game is quite playable for all classes, barring ranger, with minimal planning. For ranger, beating hardest isn't too bad and inferno just requires some thinking. With the online scaling, you'll need good execution, gear and planning regarding spawns, target timings and hitting dps quotas.
Luis White
online increases enemy health and damage, and maybe numbers. Solo is a breeze
Adam Phillips
yup, i'm logged in. tried adding as a non-steam game and launching from that too same issue. a first-time set up box pops up for a fraction of a second then just never launches too.
