Yeah, its pretty difficult to use the mortars properly. But the infiltrators can be lethal against base defenders. (So can juggernaughts, trust me I have been on the recieving end of both). And the infiltrators have all those shiny new toys since the patch.
Download finally finished, waiting for install to complete now. It says 55s remaining, whats an "s"?!?

seconds those shiny new toys are expensive man...infiltrator are deadly in their own way but they cant survive a head to head battle with any other class...maybe against pathfinder or sentinel but not definitely not against any other i have tested this many times...whenever i spot an infiltrator it means an easy peasy kill

The game is very difficult but on a good latency server its quite fun

Especially that flag capturing game.

I hate the new plasma guns the raiders just got in this latest patch, they are pretty damn powerful. On the bright side, almost all of the flag cappers on the enemy team dislike me, especially during a particularily long kill streak I got yesterday. A Juggernaught ended it with that MIRV mortar thing.

damn the patching aint resume supported? i had to hard restart my system and now its downloading the patch again from 410mb whereas pehle it had already downloaded about 350mb

The raiders are pretty damn powerful, especially those plasma guns. They can tear through defences without even trying. They combine the mobility of a medium class with the hit pool of a heavy, and their weapons have a lot of extra damage vs armoured. Almost as infuriating as infiltrators, but at least infiltrators die easy.

ya just some of them in action...seemed badass...gotta gather some xp to unlock em

@Inexorable:

Changelog for the new update:

Weapon/Balance Items:

-Increased damage on Brute’s Heavy Spinfusor by roughly 7%.
-Modified the Pathfinder’s Light Assault Rifle so that it has an increased projectile speed and fall-off begins at a greater distance (buffed). Projectile speed now matches that of the Soldier’s Assault Rifle.
-Modified the collision size of Raider’s Plasma Gun projectile. The weapon’s damage and rate of fire remain the same.

Bug Fixes:

-Fixed an issue that impacted the ability of the Shrike to fly vertically.
-Fixed an issue in which the First Win of the Day bonus was not being awarded in some scenarios.
-Fixed an issue that would prevent a player from deploying deployables.
-Recently earned badges are now shown correctly on the profile page.
-Several bug fixes and cleanups on the menu UI.

So, I just got 250 gold free from the facebook thing, and dont know what to spend it one. I need to unlock mines, but they cost 420gold, and the raider costs 280 gold. Any suggestions?
