Updates & How do YOU make the most out of your favorites.

[ Edited ]

Hi guys. Now it seems that the last leg of tweeks here and there are coming to an end, so  now i have some questions since ive gotten a little lost with all the recent balancing updates...Ok to start off with i would appreciate it if  some fun loving Twisted fans would mind helping me out with what HAS actually been changed. From there i wouldnt love it if anyone wants to brag about cool tricks they have made to play well with thier favorites, as well as general tips and tricks that work for some cars, Or might just leave others saying " Man i thought only cows could each that much grass" Not that we eat dirt, but most of us have been taken down our fair share :smileyvery-happy:

Re: Updates & How do YOU make the most out of your favorites.

What up elf. Regarding the changes, the only major "changes" we some nerfing (decreasing values/numbers) and buffing (increasing values/numbers) of some cars and weapons. So gamewise you won't notice any real changes.

Do you have any twisted metal experience? If this is your first time, I HIGHLY suggest you do the live training mode. This can be found in the "one player - training - live training". Here it teaches you all the things your vehicle can do, you'll get unlimited weapons/specials, unlimited turbo and turbo dashes, freezes, mines etc etc. You can learn a lot from this in the beginning.

What vehicles/style do you like to play?

Comm has a great point, before you get online to play good players, play splitscreen with no bots to get familiar with driving (as driving is THE biggest factor of this game) and how to aim at cars and shoot. Learn the weapons and how to use them and switch switch when needed. Find a vehicle that you feel comfortable with and stick with it for a while.

If you don't know, here's how to do it
1) Turn on 2nd controller
2) From main menu, select "multiplayer"
3) Then go to "Offline Split"
4) Select "Death Match"
5) Select map. Starts with California, which is a great map but if you wanna stay in a tight area so you don't end up wandering around, select "Diesel City" then next one, map varation select "Skid Row"
6) Select duration, however long you wanna play
7) Select unlimited for "kills goal"
8) Put health semi on. This will always be in ranked games, so its good to get familiar with finding and using it.
9) Next put unlimited weapons on
10) Press X
11) Select vehicles for both choices
12) Learn to aim while driving to shoot at the non moving car.

That's really it. Have fun.

Feel free to ask us any questions along the way :smileyhappy:

Re: Updates & How do YOU make the most out of your favorites.

Haha thanks Troll, and Comm. I figured the udates were just a numbers game, Making something do less damage ect.  No i am not new, Ive been playing twisted metal since the ps1 days. What i was hoping for would be players sharing what their favorite tactics, and vehicles are. I just wanted to get some cool tips on what works for certain people and what doesnt. I like to play roadboat and vermin, And i am a huge fan of driving backwards :smileyhappy: thats my tip for the masses.  Question on RB  though. I  magically hit someone with my magnet for like 150 in Harbor level. The other player turned a corner so i couldnt see what happened when it hit him....What happened, and is it possible to do it again? As for updates, i think i heard shadow got nerfed, and some homing changed. What are his numbers now?

Re: Updates & How do YOU make the most out of your favorites.

The primary special does 33 damage typically (11 for each) but if bounced those magnets go from 11 each to 50 each/150 total. The easiest way to hit it is to freeze a big vehicle close to a wall then angle the front of your car so its touching the wall so that when fired they hit wall then opponent. Short bounce. The other thing is it only works with one bounce. Once it bounces twice its to 33 max for good. RB has more tricks than almost any other vehicle. If you want sent me a friend request and I'll show you a few other trick thats people (Vad) taught me.
