Gundam Battle Operation 2: Life As A GM Pilot On The Zeonic Front

[@oniarmoury]

I really enjoyed playing both sides of this week’s situation battle for the sole reason being there were no raids. It was so nice to play by counting on guarding your supports to do the most damage to the enemy team.

Zeonic Front was such an amazing game I cannot believe we never got a sequel or another game like it. Same thing can be said about Raise From the Ashes for the Dreamcast, love the cockpit FPS combat of that game.

[@assassin_pikachu]

I've been hoping for a Zeonic Front situation battle and I was very happy that one finally came out! Zeonic Front was my first Gundam game I played and it still remains to be favourite Gundam game on the PS2. I still sometimes go back to replay the simulation missions and form teams that would never really go together (eg, having Zakus and GMs fighting alongside each other) just for fun. That game was a real gem in my opinion.

This is why when I did Custom matches in the past we always went up then down in cost. Helps us remember the basics that every player should do: Reload ammo and/or repair if you have the time. Also monitor your beam gauges if you have said equipment.

I am surprised how bad the A rate players are with basic units

[@andrewac1096]

We are just used to the high-end stuff, probably. I am just a guy who just returned to the game recently, but it has usually been the case since I left over a year ago, we are just uncomfortable with simple stuff sometimes.

[@StupidTyskey]

If a suit doesn't have MA 90% of A players have no idea what they're doing.

[@succmama1039]

​@@StupidTyskey Zeta Gundam players doesn't suffer such weakness💪

[@Randomgunplabuilder]

That’s what happens when you rely on op units

[@bloodletter1079]

​@@StupidTyskey pretty much, love my karl gustov when i use its guard and watching the enemie do its full combo and dodging as i just stand there

[@ravencross7779]

Love both zeonic front and situation battle! With all the fancy stuff, you forget how classic a standard gm either a bazooka is!

[@ArmouredProductions]

Oh hell yeah a Zeonic Front situation battle!

[@nm3k511]

This is about the only reason why I have yet to get S- Rank on PS4/5 or PC. I am used to basic mobile suits and the skillsets from Overwatch 2 helps me a better team player, BUT teammates either rely hard on certain skills or just don't have the situational awareness to help the team. I would know, I too ambushed the enemy team multiple times before in A rank and get away with it. Current rank: Console - A/A+, been a while due to PS4 breaking. PC - A, FPS fluctuating or outright freezing prevents me to play at my best due to low end Laptop... That or the game is poorly optimized for PC that high end is required to make up for it.

[@ZROSTARS]

If this is against Midnight Fenrir there should be some Gouf

[@stompyrobotguy4376]

I think one of the GMs should get the Beam Spray instead of all of them having a bazooka - it would balance better with the MG Zaku.

[@ghostfighter21]

One of them do.

[@flailthroughs]

Yup! I think Gustave posted a round with the Beam Spray Gun GM in fact.

[@stompyrobotguy4376]

@@ghostfighter21 Oops! I've played it a couple times, and never noticed! Now I feel silly, lol

[@dount566]

Enjoyed the idea of this mode but every match I played Zeon got done dirty.

[@zinogre_the_lord]

Can you do a video with the zaku 1 sniper considering the addition of the sub weapon?

[@savagemaelstrom9645]

At the end of Rob's last video, he mentioned working on a Zaku I Sniper video and he said he had an 'okay one' unless one of 'us' (his friends) provides him a better one he intends to run it soon.

[@LtCommanderTato]

Fed side being overtuned its kinda realistic if you played the new game plus of Zeonic Front 🤣

[@user-ob2ei8vp1d]

The federation suits on this scenario are pretty overtuned if you ask me

[@LtCommanderTato]

GM, Zaku ii should never have a dodge roll or more than one swing. They are meant to be the first suits on the main line. They have to basic. Also zaku i should be basic too obviously. We already have special suits / variations to cover the gimmicks.

[@sev2136]

Personally I'd still say the Standard GM and Zaku II could stand to at least have a mobility increase, I understand they meant to be newbie machine to learn the game than toss away to collect dust or just use them for meme builds but I think they just need a tiny bit more help that and honestly a lot of the low cost weapons need overhauls. At this point there's no excuse for the Zaku I to not at least have maneuver armor or a dodge roll and the GM light armor I'd argue is even more in a sorry state.

[@LtCommanderTato]

@@sev2136 What the game need is a complete loadout overhaul. You want lots of weapons? enjoy lower power to weight ratio. You move slower and your thruster bar run out faster. That way you can choose to field a zaku ii with bazooka, mg and grenades or even sturmfaust. Thanks to that we wouldnt see anymore mobile suits with gigantic weapons moving very fast. But i think im asking too much for a moneygrab game with lootboxes.

[@sev2136]

@@LtCommanderTato You definitely asking for a different game.

[@LtCommanderTato]

@@sev2136 Maybe but the balancing lately is becoming worse. Its very biased towards giving more weapons to suits with no penalty on mobility compared to the less equiped one.
