So I tried out the rock 'n' rail

I wasn't that impressed with it, to be honest. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't great, yano?

It's just kinda meh. After how awesome extermination was it was going to be hard to top it. They're saying they're going to add a classic playlist that sounds awesome though

I played classic settings in customs it's pretty fun. But I actually enjoyed the anniversary throwback settings more.

It was okay, but it's not something that will keep my interest. I'd probably have more fun looking for new things to clamber onto now that we have a huge jump heights.

Wait they brought Rock and Rail back? Great...just what I need to finish the two commendations Ive already done.
Still, sounds fun. Its stuck on the same maps though I bet.

Rock 'n' Rail is literally me in a nutshell; fast, frantic, and frenzied. But it has also been a harsh lesson for me. Now, I must become better with the Railgun than ever before.

In case you (and anyone else) didn't already know, the Whiplash uses proximity air-burst fuses for its projectiles, which means that, like the Ad Victoriam, the round doesn't necessarily have to connect with the target. Makes it a little more forgiving and easier to aim.

I know, but I don't think my performance wasn't good enough.

I'm playing it right now lol. I'm actually having a "blast" (pun intended) playing it. One thing I've noticed is that the SPNKr Prime seems to be under performing a lot when compared to the Whiplash. It reminds me of the Direct Hit in Team Fortress 2, but kind of worse: It's a rocket launcher that fires sort of fast and deals a lot of damage when you hit right on, but when you miss, there's almost no splash damage, so you're instantly screwed. Might need to take that into consideration for future matches, especially due to how the Prime is the primary spawn weapon.

Side note: When charging the Whiplash, does it ever seem to get stuck or jam during the process for anyone else?

I haven't experienced this myself, but I have seen this happen in one of Taquin/Reach Way's videos. Seems really weird, might need to bring it up to 343 if it becomes more common, if it hasn't already.

My first game of this playlist was fun, the others I played were annoying and tedious T.T 2 Problems I had is that you could easily get spawn killed and the fact that everyone I see that plays this just uses the whiplash, but I can see why people don't use the spnkr prime that much though, cause its an unreliable piece of garbage in this mode.

It's not garbage you just have to be accurate with it.

I suppose but most of the time it looks like a direct hit with the thing, I just see a hitmarker and they take damage, Compared to the whiplash its pretty outclassed imo. Which I kind of don't like saying that from a mythic weapon .-.
