Remove the sneaky little 1 in the beginning of the url and it should work.
But yeah, it was a good game and it was close. One of those games where you were to busy doing your part of the game to notice how it actually went.
I also just noticed that 1x base repair is another top acc...

I dunno... seems it got more attention than my quatra and my rampage. I was even close to relentless... but then a took a tactical in the face.

I think there's like, a reserved spot for Base Repair so even if it's 1x it still gets mentioned.
Though I think it was bugged in this case since I blew up dozens of TCNs who were repairing the Gen so... should've been way more than 1x.
My main target with the Tacticals was the force-fields covering the flag. But if you Heavy on Flag then you're going down with your furniture

Yeah, those techies were all over the place... mostly in the way actually. "Oh look! A sticky! Let's avoid it! What's this? I'm covered in people and can't move? Well... bummer." *poof*
And actually, all three times I took tacticals to the face, it was by your hand and just as I landed on the ship after respawning. Felt a bit Deja Vu the second and third time.

Probably because we killed each other at the same time. You spot me and fire at me with your Heavy Bolter, but not before I realize I'm ****ed and change my role to suicide terrorist and spam stickies all over the place 
I respawn and immediately go on top of my ship and prepare a tactical.
You respawn at the same time as me and get Tac. Striked ^^
Honestly, if any of those Techs would've had Motion Sensors I wouldn't have been even half as effective. They mess up my game completely.
I can survive walking into a frag mine by just jetting away and cloak... but the motion sensor? I'm ****ed.
EDIT:
Dayuum you must've really reeled in on Flag Defender accolades btw... 30 kills... almost 40 with assists.
Many people find the Heavy Bolter inferior to the Chaingun but I dunno... seems capable enough in your hands. Harder to finish off cappers in the air with it though, I guess.

The bolt launcher has better stopping power, and is handy to defend the rest of the base with, but is, as you say, weaker against air targets as well as being kind of bad when you're trying to finish off those pesky pathfinders who escape you with a little health left. With the bolt launcher I have many a times chased them down by propelling myself with it though.
For example picking of you and other infiltrators with that rail gun would be harder, but I think the main reason is because I transitioned from soldier and raider, and the bolt launcher is more similar to their weapons.
It's quite inferior when it comes to pick of heavies from a distance though, so on most maps it'll make the juggers even more bothersome.
EDIT: As for my kills... I got rather suprised when I didn't dominate the top accs. On the other hand, I was rather suprised about all my kills and whatnot, since I felt I could've played a lot better and you didn't have pathfinders queuing up in nice little rows, just running into my statics defences. 'Cause really, most pathfinders just don't know how to handle it, propably due to doombringers being very rare, up until very recently.

Yeah... playing hide and seek with chaingun DMBs is fun since they can't one hit me...
The game needs more capable Jugs I think... everytime I hear someone cry about turrets/force fields/whatever being overpowered I just think... "Jug's the answer". Most Jugs just party hard in gen rooms and fap over their killstreak though.
Btw, Omega said I lost the game in the screenshot but didn't we actually win? It says victory. Can't remember.
EDIT: Oh yeah and Shrike is totally overpowered on the new map. Kinda fun though... now that they can actually be controlled properly.

I'm not sure who won either. It does say victory over my team, so I'm not sure.
Though I do agree. The latest map needs some nice places for juggers, though I do like how this might bring back the grenade launcher for the raiders, as well as the artillery still lacking range... and shrikes are so easy to pick of if you have just a single doombringer.

Hell no, I just fly away and hide behind the cliffs in the middle if a missile locks on to me. I can keep the flagbase clear from that distance and be in total safety.

Still... a single missile will keep you in hiding for quite some time, or the doombringer will just cut off half the map for you. Still makes for a potent defence, but that's to be expected after an investment and a dedicated task. If there's a dedicated defender, then that'll require more skill or another attacker. That's balance for you, and the reason so many pathfinders complain about mines and forcefields.

It's a lot of stuff to learn at once
Skiing, jetting, energy management, leading shots...
Energy management is probably the hardest early on... I remember running out of energy all the time and just getting hellfire rained down upon me by veterans as I desperately tried to get off the ground.

Aaaaand now the game is down.
They were lucky. I took the skiing and jetpack tutorial and was basically ready to bring everybody to their knees. I'm so badass the servers experience a network issue as soon as I start playing.

Yeah... I think they picked soldier as starting class intentionally, with it being well rounded and having extra energy and whatnot. Still disappointed about spinfusor not being the starting weapon though.
As for the server issues, it's still beta. Hopefully and propably both server issues and ranked servers (thus reducing the sore substructure syndrome) will be available by final release.

Hirez is doing good work so far imo.
I don't agree with all their choices but this is what a beta is for after all.. testing stuff out. They bring major changes almost every week.
EDIT:
Hope you'll enjoy the game btw Blizz, I thought you only played RPGs and strategy games
