Re: Is the Boiler worth it?
A lot of this has probably already been said, but:
I see a lot of parallels in the scoring setup between Steamworks and Stronghold. I think we will see alliance setups work very similarly. In stronghold, defenses were the 'easier' scoring method, and they initially returned much more points. The problem is there were only so many defenses, and once they were all broken there was nothing left to do. This is the same as gears. Really good shooters struggled in quals last year because they struggled to put up a lot of points. In elims however the match usually hinged on the performance of the alliance's shooter(s) because all defenses on both sides just got broken every match.
Elims this year will be decided by shooting fuel. I expect both sides in elims will get all or all but one rotor, and the differentiating factor will be which team can shoot more balls.
