Super Monday Night Combat

[Trynant]

Currently this game is in closed invitational period. If you sign up for it you'll get an invite within a week.

Basically it's MNC gone free-to-play with new characters and some gameplay tweaks. I'm excited.

[Kyllian]

Uses matchmaking, tho there's no stats tracking so the matching is completely random right now
Requires a bit more teamwork than MNC did so you can't solo it as much as before

[Juggalo Kyle]

I played about 6 rounds or so the other day. Really enjoyed it. Sent an invite to my bro and a buddy.

[Slainchild]

Got two invites for this. If you want one, ask me on steam.

Fun game!

[Big-Al]

I''ve been playing a bit... but it's a bit annoying and there are already people calling others noobs.

still, I'm in.

Are you really surprised? Tho it's probably random asshats that have been in the beta for a month or so
The "SMNC Vets" that have played since or near the start aren't usually such jackasses

Also, there's a Mumble server set up for people to join in on: http://www.uberent.com/forums/viewto...p?f=39&t=11985

[JohnDoe641]

I remember playing MNC and in every match there'd be people yelling at me for "hacking" because I shot them with the sniper rifle.

That was really the only thing I enjoyed about the game.

[Kyllian]

You'd probably get more hackusations now as most of the truly good Snipers have moved on to SMNC
****, I barely worry about Snipers anymore. I've come across maybe 3 players that when they go Sniper I consider them a threat, and I play Gunner a lot

[d3tox]

Anyone playing this? Look me up

[Kyllian]

Bought Leo earlier tonight. First match with him didn't result in a good KDR (3/6), but I led my team in botkills and I helped push bots like mad using the Code-X, especially the Jackbot

[Trynant]

I need to get back in this game....

Turbocross details: http://www.uberent.com/forums/viewto...p?f=39&t=25425

Welcome to Turbocross!

This is the second game mode for Super Monday Night Combat. Objectives remain the same as Super Crossfire, push bots and destroy the enemy Moneyball.

Why? DotA-style players tend to enjoy Super Crossfire's emphasis on strategy and team work. Turbocross is more for the shooter player who likes a faster paced game.

The Rules Have Changed:

• Higher lethality - Health set to Super Crossfire level 15, damage even higher.
• Rebuildable Turrets - nubs come back after 3 minutes
• Faster Movement of Bots and Pros
• No passive health and damage improvements as you level up
• Pros still level up to enable skill upgrading.
• Prebuilt turret setup per lane:
  • Front - Level 3 Lazer Blazer
  • Middle - Turret nub
  • Moneyball - Level 3 RockIt
• No turret shields
• More powerful Jackbots
• "March of the Jackbots" starts at 15 minutes
• Respawn times are initially very fast but increase as the game goes on.
• No one hit kills, but pretty close!
• CC and XP awards are calculated differently but in the same approximate rate as Super Crossfire
• Products and Endorsements are still enabled.
• Health regeneration takes a longer time to start but recovers much more quickly.
• Juice heals you to full.

Discuss!

[Trynant]

So, I recently tried this game again, but I'm really dismayed at how bad the 'free' part is in the F2P model of this game. It's basically somewhere along the lines of 60+ games to get a character, and the character is like $4. It seems with the amount you could spend on SMNC you could just as easily purchase a less '**** your wallet' MOBA of some sort (I hear Awesomenauts is good).

Shame, because the gameplay is a blast.

[Kyllian]

Assuming you get max CC(CombatCredit) each round, ~28 games to afford "starter" Pros(4500cc)
Much faster if you spring for CC boosters
Of the boosters there's a Timed(+100%), PerWin(+100%) and PerMatch(+500%)
Stack those 3 and you get up to 1280(2560 if you hit First Win of the Day bonus)
Personally I think the Timed is most worth the money, especially if you opt to play a lot

Luckily you can hold off on buying Pros because there's always 6 that are free for the week, so you can test out just about all of them given enough time.
Sharpshooters(see: sniper types) are usually excluded to give aimbotters the finger

If you have enough patience you don't have to spend a cent ever(unless you want to trade, but the minimum is $1 so it won't cost you much)
SMNC is also probably the farthest from pay2win you can get cuz the following are pretty much the only cash items
- Pros (cc can be used as well)
- Cosmetic items (player/weapon skins, accessories, taunts, flair)
- Blitz weapons (Blitz is PvsBots, just more insane than MNC Blitz)
- Boosters (CC and XP)
- Bundles (usually Pro/Cosmetic combos at discounted price
(I'm sure I'm forgetting something)

Anything that affects gameplay is CC only


If you're impatient on getting Pros: http://store.steampowered.com/app/21..._7_suggest__13
$15 for $50 worth of stuff, including the 6 original MNC Pros, 4 Flairs and a 5-match, +500% CC booster

Also, Turbocross is roughly equivalent to classic MNC, and now even allows you to drop in/out whenever you please
