The Dukes of Hazzard

[WhiteSun]

I only bring this up because it might not be too late to consider something like this.

We have not seen a lot of movies or screenshots released, but from what I've seen, the ground vehicles don't catch much air. Perhaps I'm being premature, but I'd like to raise this point.

I want some Dukes of Hazzard-style driving on the buggies and quads. Let's take a look at the high-flying antics of today's relatively unadvanced quads. http://www.exriders.com/videos/index.shtml. Most of these are generally stock Honda 400EX's and show that plenty of hooliganism is capable with 6000USD at your local Honda dealer. I actually own one of these fine machines, and believe me, they are capable of it without question. Or, we can look at a 300cc version in a still:

Or how about the buggies? Rail buggies as a rule don't get anywhere near as much air, but that's with today's technologies.

Not only would this increase the fun of the game for me, but adds a bit of realism as well as raising the 'pace' of the game. Think of jumping your quad over a base's low wall, or shooting the driver of the buggy as it crests the hill and goes flying over your head. hotT stufF.

Anyone else agree that quads, buggies, and other light-weight, high-speed ground vehicles should be adjusted to provide higher jumps? Disagreements? Incoherent official-forum arguments?

I would like to jump, only if it has that cool dukes of hazzard horn tho.

If they went too high up I think it'd be a little annoying and if anyone drove round a bumpy area they'd fly right past it and land in a lake..wait..that's the mosquito..well they both apply.. :)

[Sputty]

I haven't seen too much though, so I'm probably wrong..
I've never watched Dukes of Hazzard before either. I'm going to get flamed because of my age or I can make fun of all the old people
:lol:

I think "jumps" should be by all means possible.
Look at bf1942. The game wasn't meant to be realistic; Just hop in a vehicle and go...yet while they did away with sophisticated controls/realism, there is still the element of physics to take into account. The ground vehicles can catch air, especially the little 2person jeep.
If your quad in the game PS goes over a mine...that light frame is going to get blasted quite a ways into the air or to its side..at least I hope so. So I would definately like too see a vehicle be able to catch air, and I'm positive with a big a playing field as PS offers there will be PLENTY of places to attemp jumps,stunt, and shananigans of the sort..
This will make the game faster paced when you add in damage taken from falling and possibly even jumping rocks, trees, maybe even valleys; granted with enough speed:) ,(I hope there are valleys) to get to an enemy base from a side that the enemies thought would be inaccesable by land.

I haven't seen the gamespot vehicles because i never bought a membership, but does anyone know if when driving vehicles 3rd person view is an option? I think it would be awesome to drive a tank like you can in halo.
Just my two cents.

here's a rambo act:

heli spraying fire at you. you hop into a buggy, drive over a hill, catch mad air, and eject from your buggy while it blows the heli to smithereens.

[afex]

there is 3rd person view while driving

One thing I would like to know about the vehicles, would it be like in bf1942 where you can send your buggy into high speed and ram a tank to hurt it? And can you eject quickly if you did such a manuever?

[balab]

according to the movies i saw, it takes about 2 seconds to get into and out of most crafts. and i dunno about moving crafts.

Dunno. Im sure it will damage it, but I dont know if you could get out in time.

[Guardian AngeL]

maybe you could do like what you can in bf1942. if you are a combat engineer maybe you could place an explosive that can detonate it and drive striaght into an enemy tank and jump out and detonate it. a.k.a. Carbomb:D

[balab]

hmmm, if you can place bombs, can you drop them from galaxies??

[Hamma]

You cant drop bombs from a galaxy. But there is a sachel charge type thing that you can use with the combat engineering cert.

Heh, another threat to tanks..I hope the tanks will ahve some sort of infantry defense.
