okay cool thanks.

Hey, a couple of more questions.

1. How does the NetBat system work excactacaly? (excuse my horrid spelling)
2. How does teamspeak work? (for the website)

Thanks to anyone who can help ;D

NetBat is hard to explain with actually being ingame.

Basically, NetBat works with your squad, what happens is when you see an enemy for long enough, a red diamond appears on them. If they go behind cover, you can still see that red diamond. Your entire squad sees this diamond.

The different NetBat unlocks work with this.

If there's an Engineer in your squad, then enemy vehicles will also get the diamond.
If there's a Support in your squad, then cloaked enemies will also get the diamond.
If there's an Assault in your squad, then the enemy's kit and health will also appear.
If there's a Recon in your squad any information shown will stay longer than usually, allowing you to track an enemy through walls and know what to expect.

Each one assumes the person with that kit has the kit's NetBat helmet unlocked.

I don't know how to get the red diamond to show up in the first place exactly, I just know what happens once it's there.

I've come to the conclusion that NetBat is buggy, at best.

OKay... Is it kindof confusing how it will put up the dymond every once in a while or somthing?

Basically if you see a red diamond and it's actively following a person as they move around, you can assume he's there. If you see a red diamond staying still, assume the enemy is in the vicinity, but not necessarily near the diamond. If you don't see a red diamond, assume that everyone on the other team is just around that corner you're about to turn.

Oooh...joining this thread late. That's what I get for getting sucked into Ikariam (premium crack cocaine) and WoW patch 2.4 (new content).

My suggestion to getting unlocks is as follows:

1) Defib
2) Advance Med Hub
3) Frag grenades
4) Enhanced Endurance
5) Stamina Recovery
6) Max Clip
7) Extra Grenade
8) AR-Shotgun *NS Boots
9) Net-Bat Infantry *AR-Shotgun
10) Rockets *Net-bat
11+) Whatever

Play assault since it's the 'easiest' kit to get points with. After you've got your defibs then you're good to go and you've pretty much covered all the important points. The advanced med hub will increase you charge rate, charge bar, and allow you to act as a living med hub when in a vehicle to those around you. After you've got those basics down (keeping yourself and others around you up) then you NEED to go after the personal unlocks. Playing on the TG server means being mobile and staying mobile so that means the enhanced stamina and stamina recovery are a must. If you have NS you also want to edge in the increased stamina recovery boots for even more staying power which is why I also suggested the increased clip and extra grenade upgrade.

Why is it not important to get class kits right off the bat? Because this late in the game you have plenty of people who have gone through the trouble of unlocking things for you! The best, and fastest way, to upgrade your class kit in game right now is to just walk over to a corpse (friend or foe but I'm hoping you try to revive the friend first) and poach their kit. If you get an assault kit you're probably going to find it already has defibs and rockets on it as well as an advanced AR if they were using one. Congrats! All the trouble of unlocking that crap yourself was done for you. Also the netbat upgrade isn't high priority because if you're squadded up with another assault (and you will be on the TG server) odds are they have it already which makes yours redundant.

On the HUD info:

Red diamond is 'eyes on' tracking and is displayed when someone has spotted a target. If the eyes stay on the target long enough then the diamond is 'upgraded' to a bar with netbat information (based on what netbat you have in the group). Everyone can gauge health but that information is modified based on class netbat unlocks (assault netbat shows kit, engineer shows vehicle type, recon has a longer duration, and support auto-spots recons using active camo). The red diamond stays with the target for as long as there are eyes observing it because it is 'updated' through sight and not electronic pings.

Grey diamonds are 'sonar pings' and are stationary displays from the Otus drone and support heartbeat scanner. It shows where someone was when the ping went out and does not update until the next ping.

If all other load outs are not to your liking then this one always works for me. Aways keep sand/dirt in one hand and a spiked club in the other. EU/PAC soldiers will be so befuddled at your kit that they will be momentarily shocked. Throw the sand in their eyes and whack them with the club multiple times until motionless. I have manged to get two kills with this method. Do not under any circumstances stop hitting until a wet rag. Just think of your most disliked teacher or boss. Good luck and good hunting...JJ

Oh beach sand works the best so Camp G is a good training ground for this.

HAHA!

That probably won't work though, all the soldier especially the recons have visors (how else do they get the HUD on thier screens?) that protect their eyes.

The Netbat system relays information to everyone one in the squad, so if you combine it with the otus which sends out pulses every few seconds and puts a diamond were the enemy is at that time everyone will be able to see it, and you already heard about all the classes do , Recon also puts them as red dots on the mini map.

You have to smash it right through the visor...
