    Which of the 3 factions is the best, and why?
  2. Church41349

    There is NO best faction all have their pros and cons but when factions tend to win more then the other 2 it is because of OVER POPULATION not because this faction has X weapon better then your Y weapon. Just go with what faction you feel is BEST FOR YOU not because of the opinion of forumside.

    NC if you prefer to ADS even at very close range.
    VS/TR if your a hip fire scrub who can't aim.

    There's always a group of people that make this claim for every game, and it's never true

    Just be honest, and tell me which faction is better

    I am being honest do you not believe me or something? Which one is best really does depend on what you like best it all depends on do you prefer slow firing hard hitting weapons or fast firing ones with low damage per bullet? Do you love being able to have higher ADS speeds? Do you like extra armor? Do you prefer a aircraft that is slightly more maneuverable or one who is better at hovering for air to ground? Do you like being able to farm infantry better with your tank or do you prefer to go against armor? THERE IS NO BEST FACTION AS A WHOLE ONLY A BEST FACTION FOR YOU AND YOUR PLAYSTYLE. If you can tell us what you prefer the most then we can tell you which faction you would be best with.

    Well Vanu got the best players and hottest women so the logical choice would be to roll with them.

    Depends on your playstyle.

    I prefer terran republic for squads though because you spit out soooo much firepower at a fast rate, you can really light up a hillside of enemy.

    Are the TR or NC rifles more accurate + which one has higher DPS
  13. Camycamera

    there is no best faction, all have their strenghts and weaknesses like people have said above.


    but forumside will probably have you believe that NC is the worst, VS is useless, and that TR is OP, or something.
  14. Church41349

    TR weapons tend to have a slightly higher DPS then NC weapons but because of the extra horizontal recoil you tend to be a little less accurate at range cause you cant compensate for it. NC weapons tend to be a bit better at range but have higher vertical recoil the TR weapons but you are able to compensate for it so id say NC>TR on accuracy and TR>NC on DPS
  15. Darkwulf

    There isnt a best faction. I play them all and each faction shines in certain situations.

    SOE nerfing needs to actually be put to an end. They will never reach balance, no game will. Just give us content.
  16. innersphere1

    No best faction.

    Because Nerfs and Buffs happens.

    If you get BR 100 on all 3 factions it unlocks a secret elite faction.

    Well NC usually has the higher global population. Indisputably, more means better.
  19. Kaserai

    PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.

    JOIN EITHER THE VANU OR TR. Fight the urge to be a brainless blue dude with rock music in the background. We have a pest problem with them anyways

    Pick what the game was made for, VS. The devs favor them and all the kiddies do too. If you want to win every alert and game played, you have to go VS. Do as the devs do, play their baby faction!

    But if you don't like winning or bored and want to play a faction with no hope at all of winning, go TR!

    NC is the middle of the road.

    Or, as others have said, 4th faction...go with the winning team (which is going to be VS) for alerts then any faction after...but not TR. Unless you don't want to win or just don't care. :)
