Robot Rage

[GoldenFox93]

Seriously though, as for my view on it- although it's obviously not up to RA2 standards, I'd say it's a major improvement on the original in terms of gameplay, and I do actually quite like it.

There, I said it.

I like it too, I spent hours on it last night. It's got what RA2 can never have. Fun multiplayer with unpredictable opponents (eg not AI). The customization and upgrades side is cool, and the way they're actually trying to balance all the parts with money and stuff is awesome.

Indeed- I think I'm going the same way.  XD
 
 
I'm doing quite well with my current robot, Colonel Kickass- it's got a Wrecker Chassis with boosted speed and handling, a LV3 Flamethrower, Sledgehammer, Air Strike and Fender Bombs. Nothing quite like the sugar-sweet kiss of Napalm and heavy Ordnance to torch a few cowards alive.   :P

I confess that I also got stuck into it, lol.
But I think it's too easy to upgrade your bot, compared to the other Robot Rage.
I've unlocked the Bite bot and I'm killing everything and everyone with it. It gets kind of boring at some point

Personally, I'm quite liking the rate at which you upgrade- in the previous Robot Rage, it was too hard to do so, especially with aspects such as the Walkover rule, getting pinned to your opponent after a collision, everyone using Razor Discs, and matches devolving into battery power-based games of Tag.

As for the Bite chassis, am I the only one who thinks it looks a bit overrated? I'm personally sticking to upgrading Colonel Kickass to its maximum potential first, then I might consider it afterwards.

[Domanating]

You're right that the previous Robot rage had more bugs than gameplay but still had something that I really liked in it.

Bite is definitely a winner in armor. It can take a serious beating. Its Ram weapon at Level 4 destroys an unupgraded Crash chassis with 4 hits without interference of other weapons! I didn't test the Wrecker yet, though.
The only great problem with Bite is that it tilts slightly when moving forward and if carrying rockets, they will all miss their target. To make a hit the bot needs to be still.

All the guest players are great cannon fodder, lol. Easy cash.

Maybe, but I'll be honest- I gave up after everyone I fought against had Razor Discs. With only the basic mobility options, you'd have an easier time standing outside and dodging raindrops in a thunderstorm than trying to avoid them.
 
As for the Wrecker chassis, modelled here by Colonel Kickass-

Very good in the way of Armour and Traction, and with the sufficient upgrades, can move as fast as a Crash chassis- a very good thing to have. It's allowed to use some pretty awesome weaponry too, including a Soundwave Generator that can generate pushy sonic booms (Soundwave superior, Missiles inferior), an Air Strike, and a rack of rear Spikes with Grenades on them, which blow up on contact with opponents. I've gone with the latter two, along with a LV4 Sledgehammer and a rather kickass LV4 Flamethrower.
 
But yes, I can definitely agree with you there- if there's one thing I can't stand however, it's opponents who base their strategies entirely around lobbing missiles and running away. That pisses me off to no end.

[Domanating]

Nice bot! I just unlocked the Wrecker and I agree with everything you said now. I'll try to make a cool combo with it. Upgrade traction, get sonic boom and claw. Then see how it goes. It should be interesting

As for the rocket guys, I'm one of them, lol. But I only run away if I'm really short on life. I have decent close combat weapons so I don't need to run.

My bot is called Bob.

Good to see you've also gone with a Flamethrower- if you can upgrade the Pincers to their maximum potential as well, it should be quite a mean pusher.

EDIT: Which Defensive Weapon does it use?

[Domanating]

Duuuuude.... I made a monster! I call It "Passive Beast"



Level 4 Sonic Boom
Level 5 Claw
Level 1 Fender Bombs
Level 3 Defensive saw

It's kind of tricky to use it but once you get the hang of it its hilarious. I have two choices: I grab the guy and just drop it or I grab the guy, point him to the nothingness and then Sonic Boom! Thanks to me their bots learn to fly. For weaker guys I torture them and hold them over fire or electric fences XD

Looks awesome- at least it's not one of those anymore. It should definitely be a good design for trolling the Guests.   

[GoldenFox93]

Also, after a nice long session of torching about 4,222 weaklings alive, Colonel Kickass is back with some new improvements-

It's now faster, and has better weaponry, in the form of-
 
LV5 Sledgehammer on the Front. Heavy, good for smash stuff.
LV4 Flamethrower on the Top. Hot, good for burn stuff.
LV4 Fender Bombs on the Back. Highly Ka-Boomable, good for explode stuff.
LV5 Air Strike targetted around it. Tactical, good for bomb stuff.
 
Currently, I'm saving up the tickets to improve the Armour and the Flamethrower, but once it's finished, it'll be heavily-armoured, very powerful, and very dangerous- basically, well-suited for kicking ass. Thoughts?

[Domanating]

Nice combo, though I'm not a big fan of the flamethrower myself. I had it level 4 too with Bite chassis. It wasn't that interesting

You should pay those 45239 credits for more traction. Opponents will have a harder time pushing you. It will make you less vulnerable to Sonic Boom

Maybe it's a matter of preference- I'm rather a fan of getting up close and personal with my opponents, watching them squirm before I incinerate them.   
 
 
But yes, that's what I'm saving up for now. I'm saving up the Golden thingies for my remaining upgrades, and I'll use the money to buy the Traction improvements when I can afford them.

Press the unity web player button with Right mouse button, and choose "open in a new window". After that, you just install the Unity web player which takes maybe second or two.

If you have a flashblocker as addon, disable it

And if the unity web button does not appear then:

I made a short video of the capabilities of Passive Beast
I think one the battles in there was against you, GoldenFox and by pure luck I filmed it for my video  . Please confirm
