It effects power cooldowns. If you exceed the half way point in the maximum weight you can carry, your cooldowns are slowed drastically. It's why some people prefer to carry only a modded pistol when they are an Adept or Engineer. I personally think carrying a shotgun along with those things is a good investment.

I would do that if I wasn't so shoot-heavy in my games.

I will try to adapt to this in my next match.

Does anybody else run into weird situations with Guardians where your sniping reticule is pointing right through the rectangular cutout in their shields, and yet they still react as if you hit the shield itself instead of taking damage?

And then other times where you weren't really aiming all that hard yet somehow headshot them anyway?

Hope it's just me and not a problem with hitboxes. :/

Some people on 4chan have observed similar behavior.

They theorize that the most likely cause is that the hit-confirm is done server-based, instead of client-based.

[up][up]It's happened to me a few times. There's also been occasions where I would shoot a guy a ton and he'd take no damage, or a dead body on the floor still had a full health bar.

Probably already known, but Shockwave+Shotgun means instagib for the riot troops.

I noticed you seem to be able to unequip all weapons, which then gives you +200% to cooldown speeds. Does this mean that a higher level Adept would be a force to be reckoned with even if carrying no weapons at all?

The 200% bonus is also available with a modified phalanx, so no reason to go lower than that.

Didn't know that, that's very good to know. I may consider doing that once I get a high-enough level Adept.

[up][up]an Atlas, two Phantoms, and two combat engineers, all stuffed into the room with the computer we had to hack. And the engineers could repair the Atlas. How do you handle something like that?

This is the number of the ones we killed.

Everything from the Omega 4 Relay onwards is just non stop awesome. I can't think of a better last 2 hours in any game.

Can one actually hack Atlas mechs with Sabotage? If so, that would really help us.

[up][up] I can. About three of them actually.

[down] My opinions are really subjective, so I'd rather not say. The end of Assassins Creed 2, The Grand Cathedral, the final mission of the Zero Hour Generals Challenge, the two last boss fights of Prototype (!!!), a few others.
