AC4

[VeilSide]

The NEXT Republic doesn't sound too good. The Raven Republic is where it's at, lol.

actually, have you seen <a href='http://www.sega.com/gamesite/armoredcore4/' target='_blank'>Sega's official AC4 page</a>?

<span style='colored'>Raven</span>
Common name for a mercenary AC pilot after the widespread use of Normals in battle began. Their high degree of specialization and the impressive power of their crafts represented the chaotic era in which they fought. Now, after the close of the National Dismantlement War, however, most Ravens have been forced to become lackeys of the Companies and patrol the Colonies for next to nothing, or give their all to independent armed groups. Their current struggle to survive is a far cry from the glory they once held as the unchallenged masters of the battlefield in the days before the advent of Next technology.

ouch. even if there is no connection between AC4 and previous games... that's still actually kinda sad there.

it's quite amazing what you can do with AC4.

indeed. those are the missile weapon arms (wings?). fun stuff.

....If you leave your AC standing still during a mission, will it still "do the robot" like it does in past games?

kind of. but it's actually useful now. you don't ahve to stop moving, but if you stop firing for a few seconds, the arms will lower and will automatically reload the magazine of whatever weapon you're using at the time. useful so you won't get caught with like 2 rounds left in your machinegun's clip in a bad situation.

Huh?&nbsp; Is AC4 like totally a new game?&nbsp; Like, the gameplay or the techniques there are 100% different?

more like 95%.

can you give me an example of a Gene combo that can allow an AC to boost vertically without consuming EN?

try the MAXWELL generator. it's my favorite at the moment.
for your boosters try these:

MB107-POLARIS
LB-HOGIRE
AB-HOLOFERNES
LINSTANT/O

if you still can't boost vertically, your AC must have some serious energy drain. it will drain slightly if you boost vertically + any direction, but straight up shouldn't be a problem. it's easy to abuse the side QB with my setup, so if that seems to be the case for you, just use the HOGIRE side boosters instead and it won't be so bad.
