Before you post there are a few useful tips that will make everyone's lives here easier, its simple stuff but it bears reiteration for the newer guys or those of you who have not tested games before.



1) Please read the stickies, it's obvious I know, but the big glowing red threads are there for a reason.



2) If you have feedback to give, great! But please do it in the suggestions and feedback forum. Also please do a quick search to check if the topic you want to discuss already has a thread about it.



3) If you want to report a bug please do so in the Legions bugs forum. Also before doing so please check the bug compilation sticky or the common issues and fixes sticky to see if your bug has already been reported and/or has a solution. If it has, feel free to go post in the associated topic, if it hasn't then go ahead and post a new topic



4)Confused about the basics of the gameplay/movement/weapons? Check out this video or this guide for Capture The Flag and this guide for Team DeathMatch.




5)Having trouble understanding Legions terminology/slang?Check out this thread from Rouge.

Weapons
------------------------

There are four weapons planned for the initial release: Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, and Laser Rifle.

The Chaingun is primarily used for close-range combat or for chasing down fleeing enemies. If used for an extended period of time it will overheat, forcing the weapon to spin down while it cools off.

The Rocket Launcher can be used for close to long range combat and is the most versatile of the weapons. It's quick projectiles allow players pinpoint accuracy across the field of battle.

The Grenade Launcher is the most challenging of all the weapons to master, due to the ballistic projectile and slower speed, but it also packs the biggest punch of any of the medium to close range weapons. A well timed grenade blast can severely damage an attacker while knocking them well off course.

The Laser Rifle is useful for long-range attacks. Once the rifle is charged, the player can unleash a beam of energy capable of instantly destroying distant enemies.

Weapons are based on Ammo, and there are various "reload" stations around the maps (in bases, on towers, etc). If you need more ammo, you can just walk up to these ammo stations and you will be reloaded.

Movement
------------------------

There are three movement modes. Players can run and jump, just like in most FPS games, but players can also activate their jets to hover across the ground and use the slope of the terrain to their advantage or launch into the air with ease.

Players must click and hold down the Jet button (default right mouse button) to enter and maintain jet mode. While holding this down, they will be able to glide across the ground and fly through the air. When this button isn't held down, they will be in "Run" mode. The exception to the "Jet" movement model is while charging the laser rifle. When charging or holding a charge in the laser rifle, the player is unable to activate the jets and forced to run mode.

The third movement mode, called Overdrive, can be activated once a player reaches a certain speed, 88MPH, by pressing "R". Overdrive provides an extreme boost in forward speed in exchange for the player's health and ability to maneuver. While in overdrive, the player will see their energy and health drain. If the player stays in overdrive too long, they will eventually blow up.

How to go full-screen:
----------------------------

Once in the game and playing, you can go into full-screen by hitting "ALT+ENTER" or by turning on Fullscreen via the Options Menu (default ESC).




Thats all for now, have a good time playing

Updated by removing the GLS loadout.  I will work to help update this tomorrow as well unless Zhou gets to it first.
