What's the Earth Defense Force's policy on saving civilians?

they're the earth defense force not the civilian defense force

Actually all the civilians seem to be immortal, so you can fire your orbital death laser on an ant chewing on one and he's gonna be just fine.

Civilians?

There are no civilians, the cities are evacuated.

is there a version of this game with all DLCs? want to buy it for the PS4

>civilians are immortal
Wait, does that mean the crazy high knockback on some weapons is meant to give civvies a boost to get away from the Ravagers faster?

>To save our mother earth from any alien attack

Nothing about civilians in there.
No fucks given.

What's the EDF's policy on not charging 50 fucking USD for their game

The policy is to remove bugs. Saving civilians is irrelevant.

If they wanted saving they should have done more for society

Just got this game recently, anything I should be aware of as a newbie? Things to avoid while playing online?

Even on sale it is still $35. The game is $20 at best

Just don't hit other people, especially airstrikes.
Pay attention to other people calling in airstrikes aswell, when they do the message pops up, look at the radar and get away from the red zones.

The red boxes ("armor") are Max HP increases. Always grab them.
The green boxes ("weapons") are new weapons. They're randomized but they're usually between a tier (your can check the internet for said tiers).
In the name of god, if you're playing online don't play on hard until you're used to the game and have enough armor.

I would like to know more.

watch out for airstrikes

How much armor is enough armor?

I think 2000 is fine to not become a liability in hard.

hard is medium bro
normal is easy

>enough armor

You might run in in cheaters, find that all the weapons have been unlocked and thus losing the desire to play.

Other than that, retards that do not understand they need to "charge" their grenade throw (or smoke signal for artillery), friendly fire, people dying and not reviving, people being revived and immediately get killed again without first getting some health, people grabbing every single health pack even if they are at full and all the teammates are at 0, fencers that cannot understand they need to keep the targeting reticle on the Air Raider laser if they want to use the big fuckoff missiles, Air raiders that cannot understand they need to keep the laser pointer still so the Fencer can get the point into the targeting reticle (is very small for the very big missile), people not understanding homing weapons need to lock on before firing, people not being able to understand that limpet guns, remote bombs, turrets and similar for the air raider need to be activated/detonated after placement (since reloading before using them make them disappear) and pretty much any other retardry you might think of.

OUR FORCES HAVE ALL DWINDLED AND WE PULL BACK TO REGROUP!

That's only true for single player, not online.

...

Are the mission packs for this game worth buying?

Explain

THE ENEMY HAS MULTIPLIED AND FORMED A MASSIVE GROUP

THE ENEMY HAS MULTIPLIED AND FORMED A MASSIVE GROUP!

Lies

Online is overall harder than single player. More enemies, more HP, more damage, etc.

What does instant room do btw?

your days are numbered bug

What's the reason to play Ranger?

The other classes all have fun playstyles and abilities but ranger feels very average compared to them. Does this change later on with better weapons?

there's something charming about using a simple shotgun to launch giant spiders dozens of meters into the air.

Normal is a bit too easy. After playing it for some time (few missions or so) to grab some general weapons you can switch to Hard and start from the beginning if you want. Feels like a sweet spot difficulty wise, all enemies feel threatening but aren't humongous damage sponges yet.

Very Hard and Inferno on the other hand are like constantly hitting your head against a brick wall if you haven't ground a fuckton of armor beforehand. Our group started on Normal, felt it too easy and switched to Hard from the start, when we got stuck on one Hard mission we tried some beginner missions on Very Hard and ended up sticking with it all the way through. We've now gotten to the mission that introduces gianter giant jumping spiders on Very Hard and everything practically one shots.

I concur with this. Shotguns are the main reason why you would play a ranger.

I feel like Air Raider doesn't get good until you get some decent vehicles. Even then I just would like a non-vehicle build sometime where I don't have to choose one of those bunkers. Seems like the most boring class.

Jack of all trades that's pretty good at them aswell.

Rocket launchers and sniper rifles are among the best weapons in the game. The shotguns are damn good too.

>I feel like Air Raider doesn't get good until you get some decent vehicles. Even then I just would like a non-vehicle build sometime where I don't have to choose one of those bunkers. Seems like the most boring class.
Vehicles like upgraded tanks are best at drawing aggro especially when you stick DEF posts on them. If you actually want to kill shit you don't need anything, but two Whale beacons; as long as you're getting kills with every shot you can constantly drop over 10k damage AoE shots without cooldown and turn the game into a visual novel for all your teammates who are getting constant "airstrike incoming" announcements.

So can we agree wing diver and fencer best classes?

>Decide to use the lance for a change on Wing diver.
>tfw dive bombing insects and getting as close as you can for maximum damage.

It made the class so much better.

Yeah boi

Fencer just has so much fun stuff to do.

Saving? Civilians? Are those what those screaming things are called? I was just told to kill bugs.

Do I have to grind armor for each class

yes

You don't have to grind armo. But if you want to be able to take more than -100 hits then you should at least pick the armor up everyone mission.

I'm sorry I can't see that bullshit from the blinding lights all my air strikes, vehicular firepower and orbital lasers provide.

You said Air Raider I assume?

How's the online community for this game?
Does Sup Forums play together?

2000 is easily enough on hardest
500-1000 depending on class will be enough for hard.

ranger is the only one that can heal allies, although thats kind useless in higher difficulties

bump

such a shame there are no high level quake hakens

>saving civilians

nigga this is the fuckin EDF not the Salvation ARmy

It's very useful. Every second the allies buy you distracting the enemy is helpful. They are most important for distracting fliers and hornets.

Air raider can do it too, both with a post and with a vehicle

New EDF when?

How well does this game play on lower end PC's? Been wanting to get this game but I'm afraid my shit machine might not be able to handle it.

...

This. Service ensures citizenship.

WE BETTER BEAT THESE BUGS BEFORE WE'RE ALL TURNED TO SOUP

...

How shit is your machine? I have a FX6300+GTX660ti and the game ran at 60 fps.

hahahaha youre funny

My game runs at about EDF2025 levels on my shitty laptop with a 2 ghz i7 2600 and GTX 460M.

EDF!!! EDF!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I really hope edf 5 comes to pc quickly

as long as the battle is won by storm team, every loss is an acceptable loss

This desu

t. Ravager

>people being revived and immediately get killed again without first getting some health
MAYBE IF THE FUCKING FENCER DIDNT REVIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF 7 BILLION ANTS AS AN AIR RAIDER THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN

Nah, meant the guys that get rezzed with barely any health and charge headlong into ant jizz

Do we know if EDF4 did well on Steam?

t.Ohara

It will do great once it goes down to the appropriate price

35 or whatever it's at now seems like a pretty fair price for it.

it's a PS2 game

no its not retard
