Is the leviathan considered a superweapon?

[legacy-Aesthetic]

just curious if i shut super weapons off, does the leviathan stay?

[legacy--=Tex=-]

Most likley, yes

[legacy-vladthedog]

i would guess yes, but why don't you just test it in instant action.. turn it of, and load up red planet.. the levi is right there.....

Thanks for clearing that up for me sh!thead.


Yes, I would consider the levi a superweapon. It fits the definition IMO. But what exactly was the point of this thread? Would it make a difference if we viewed the levi as a superweapon or a vehicle?

EDIT: I see I need to take my meds, for some reason I thought the thread starter asked whether or not the levi was a superweapon. Now I see he asked whether using the no superweapons mutator would remove the levi, dah. Yes, I mucked up here. Sh!t happens, especially to me. Oh well, I can add this one to my book of screw ups! I don't really care, mind you. So why did I post this edit? It just get too complicated to answer. Nevermind.... :bulb:

It's not a weapon, it's a vehicle with weapons on it.

Sorry about that vladthedog ! :cry:


As I explained above, I was basing my comment on a misreading of this thread's subject. Plus, I was in the mood for picking fights, but I've gotten that under control by now. Sorry I poked fun at you, didn't mean to stir the pot.

super vehicle

The most hilarious part about UT is how the worst vehicle in the game is the one with a million hit points and about twice that amount of damage.

how is it the worst, it does huge damage at a payoff for really slow speed.

[legacy-m4d_cl1x0r]

It's the worst because it is useless and absolutely no fun to drive, encounter, or have next to you... driving takes at least 60 seconds to get from one node to the other, if you come across one you're pretty much screwed unless you run, and if there is one near you on your team you get no kills. The only good use for it is hiding it near a base and defending, but nobody does this.

It may not be a particularly effective vehicle compared to the others, but I find it fun! Fun to kill with and fun to kill (standing on top of it, imagining what the helpless driver must be thinking).

He's probably thinking, "I wonder what the 2,3,4 and 5" keys are for.

I did that once. I saw a levi camped outside one of our nodes so I sneaked in and jumped on top of it and started spamming it to all hell.

Instead of getting into one of the turrets, the driver GOT OUT and tried to take me out with a minigun.

Guess what? I fragged him with the levi's turret and leveled his node with the main cannon.

[legacy-zer0kewl]

No!
its a super vehicle!

The Levi a super weapon? You mean "super" as in "to be disabled for competitive play"??

I'd say clearly NO. The reason why most competitive players want "super" weapons to be OFF is because these weapons are overpowered and extremely hard to counter.

But the Levi isn't overpowered and it isn't hard to counter at all. It's so easy to take out a Levi with Raptors / Mantas by circling around it, it's not even funny any more. Unless you got some good AA cover, the thing is scrap in no time.

Plus, it's so damn slow that a clanmatch is often OVER before the Levi finally reaches the front line.

Hence many clans ignore the Levi in clanmatches. A good player can do MUCH more damage in the same time if he uses any other vehicle or even fights on foot.
