[Kriege]

Anyone know what it would be like when your waiting in a transport ????? Would you just sit there and look at the wall and chat or do you have a window to look thru or something ? be fun if they had a built in solitaire :D cause I would hate to just sit somewhere for a while...bored o_O

[Kriege]

ooooh yea , to hamma. GET RID OF MY RECRUITS TITLE >_<

[FireFrenzy]

I was hoping everyone would be able to see out of their certain compartment, but you get a third person view that i think you can sway around in. Post a bit more and you'll get to soldier i think.

[Hamma]

You are in 3rd person view

[Cao_Cao]

Ok, Understand the whole 3rd person thing :)



But where ... LIke fromt he pilots pit to you or from the back of the thing and you see every body ?

Just a questioN :)

[Sputty]

It's probablt movable bt if not I'd imagine it's chase.

[Civilian]

Yah, I know exactly what it looks like:

[SandTrout]

lol, I love your lessons Civilian.

[Civilian]

I didn't create em', the staff at Planteside-Links did. I do find them extremely amusing, though. :lol:

[Hamma]

When I played your external view was above the aircraft, and you could rotate around.

[Revolution]

SWEET

Hamma is there a PUB in the bases for us that want to have a couple tall ones and talk about manly stories before we go back to killin????!?!?!

[Hamma]

no.

[Wreck]

i think it would be better to have a window, for the reason im about to attempt to explain. Lets say a Galaxy transport is carrying a "full squad of players (one pilot, three gunners, six passengers, two heavy armors, and a light tank or buggy with driver, passengers and gunner)." Now, if you've got that many people all in a rotatable 3rd person view then a surpise attack on an enemy transport is all but impossible from the air, and people on the ground are likely to be seen by someone as well. If the transport see an enemy ship incoming from a far distance itll just land - unload - and then the passengers will unload on the enemy ship. Not exactly fair. I think that the passengers should mingle inside then ship, and the pilot a have decent but limited view, plus proximity sensors to warn when an enemy ship is inbound. The gunners also should only be able to see where their guns can be rotated around to. This means that escorts will be used a lot more and become a nessecity as they are in any RL battle. Thats my 2 cents :D

[Hamma]

The gunners do not have external view. But all passengers do. I can see where it would make it difficult for someone to sneak up on the galaxy. But thats why they put it in, to give the pilot more eyes.

[Wreck]

but shouldnt the escoirts be the eyes? i guess i wouldnt like it if every time i went in a transport i got blown to pieces, but it does add some RL element. i think everyone needs to know the answer to this question too hamma, so ill post it now:

Do i get BEPs for jumping out of Galaxy transports, landing on enemies, and killing them because my bones and viscera explode like a melon out of a plane?

You didn't really gimme an answer on irc, so you can here :p

[Hamma]

You're not always gonna have an escort.

[Wreck]

yeah i know, you've enlightened me.


but your avoiding my real question hamma! :mad:

[Venoxile]

hamma, cmonnn, force them to put in headshots in the game, it's their problem to fight with hackers, not my problem to pay 15$ a month for a game with no headshots.

[Warborn]

You would actually have headshots as the deciding factor to determine whether or not you play the game? You'd think there was nothing else to the game...

[Sputty]

Let him go back to his pixel perfect UT2K3 while he gets ready for his grade 6 math test.

[Warborn]

Hey, I've got nothing against him as a person, but that's a terribly shallow reason for anyone to play or not play a game. Unless, of course, you were hoping to use aimbots yourself.

[Sputty]

He seems like the Aim bot person, no offense. But saying that you won't play a game becasue there are no hedashots is pretty odd.

[Venoxile]

I'm a hardcore cal-o cs player... Headshots are the game, whoever has more skills to blow the other guys head off is the victor. I prefer games that take alotta skill.

[Sputty]

That's not what PS is supposed to be. PS is a strategic Team based FPS that has major goals.

[mistled]

And part of that strategy should include assembling a squad skilled enough to shoot people in the head. :D

[Warborn]

Headshots will make the gap between ultra-leet player and beginner greater. The very skilled players will drop a dozen new guys with a series of headshots, while the new guys will barely get to scratch him, if they even see him coming. In short, it'll make the game newbie-unfriendly, and in the MMOG business, that's a big mistake. So, sorry, but no, the very skilled will not be reaping the rewards at the expense of the beginner.

[Revolution]

Wreck WTF did you give that poor lil kitten?? ACID??????? Put a lil Coca in its milk?! lol Not a flame that cat cracks me up!

There should be a Mini Bar in the transports screw the view we will drink up while waiting to land and KILL for our Faction!

[Wreck]

i second the minibar idea

all i had to do to get hte cat like that wastake off my pants, "cats" always get excited over that :eek:

[Revolution]

PUSSYcats do the same when I drop my drawers too! I get ya ! (lol thats a legit word too like COCKtails. COCK A DOODLE DOO!!!!!!!!!!

( Sorry admins had to post that. edit if needed)

[NapalmEnima]

Where do these "No headshot" ideas come from? From what I've heard, they're in. Check all the sniper-1-shot-kill-beat-a-dead-horse threads.

There are lots of other things a skilled player can do to be one-up on the noobs. Equipment choice (and actually knowing when to use it), position, TEAMWORK.... I could go on. But won't.

roofle, you make it sound as if you actually need skill to get head shots in cs

[Powerflux]

d00d

[Venoxile]

if you're playing in a pro league, yes, headshots are hard to get, since anyone can get a headshot pretty easily, but its who can get it faster, who actualy has the skill to take the other guy out half a second before he can take you out.

[Lookoverthere]

You should have a little windo you can throw stuff out, and i think while inside the plane you should be immune to Freindly fire, some guy tries to drop a grenade out the window, misses, it bounces of the side of the window, and everyone inside gets blown up, it's be funny, but annyoing. i think a gun window is important, on a long flight you'll prolly get bored. and you can forcfully, and i think another cool thing would be able to open the tank/buggy hatch while in flight, you couldn't drive out for obvious reasons, but you could use the tank turret as a 1th, limited range guner (take out that jet on your tail) i think you should have the option of closed or open window to, and like with an open window, AA missle explosions coulg get in and hurt ya.

plus when you land, it's a mobile bunker heh.

[Lexington_Steele]

Taking it out of the headshot realm, don't you think it is a bit lame if toe shots hurt as much as a bullet through the heart?

[Moloch]

GDANIT! I remeber Hamma saying that on the standard aromor, considering you're not even wearing a damn helmet, 1 shot to the head kills. In agile, it is the same, but above that it takes 2 or three, and MAXes it does nothing special, same as anywhere else.
I think...

[Venoxile]

Ur thinking about bolt driver headshots... It doesn't work with any other gun. Would be nice if what you just said was true though. Very very nice...

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Venox I think you're still trying to compare this game to something like an all out dm game like unreal or quake or CS. This isn't some uber headshot arena game. I really don't think you need to worry about it. The devs know what they're doing so just trust them with this.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

btw *cough* << l337 whore :D

[Navaron]

congrats

I think what he said was that the bolt driver did give on hit kills on noob armor.

I also remeber that it was 2 hit kills on the Agile exosuit. (because I plan on using Agile)

He did not mention whether there were headshots or not.

[Moloch]

Yes he did, he said headshots were 1 hit kills on light armor

[Hamma]

Stop with the spam already Rev

[Jester]

you think that if you were gunna have a picture of someone holding his fingers up, you;d have one of yourself, and not someone else

and you'd also think at the very least of uploading the picture to your own fucking webspace instead of everytime one of us reads one of your retarded posts we arent using poor little maddoxs bandwidth?

Hamma stop spamming and answer the damn argument if there are headshots or not. You would know.

[Sputty]

Hamma can spam asmuch as he wants, even though he wasn't, for multiple reason. He's my deity and I've written a bible. Also, he's payoing for the bandwidth cost and everyhting. it's his site so Hamma can spam until hell freezes over.

[Tobias]

it's his site so Hamma can spam until hell freezes over.

actually that hell is a big firery hell hole is a misconception. There are some places that are quite nipply. Frozen over if you will. Atleast it was like it last time i was there. Heh.

I am not saying anything on snipers again.

When i saw the title of this thread, the words

came to mind.

[Sputty]

Worst...Movie...Ever...

[BCR]

(Might as well put it here, couldn't be arsed to make a new topic)
Here's a (Very dodgy) thought for an implant. Wall climb?

Think about it for half a second, 30 Vanu troops are assaulting a base held by 20 NC. It's a standoff, and neither side can get break it. Unknown to both teams, 20 TR with Wall crawling and stealth have snuck over the back walls and set up a heavy defensive position in the main control room. The NC don't realise they're under attack until the timer starts, and they don't have the manpower to stop both.

But then, the 30 Vanu waiting outside the walls could be a pain in the but for the TR...

And it wouldn't be majorly unfair, because I'd say being able to climb up Artificial walls would be about on par with the other Implants.

Thoughts? Comments? insults?

[Sputty]

If it was an assault with just one team the atacking team with implants would always win...

[SandTrout]

Just so long as you can't use weapons while climbing, I have no real objections. Heck, the clibers whould be owned by the guys on the wall if they couldn't shoot back.

[BCR]

I was thinking You can only use one handed weapons (Pistols, ect). That way they aren't completely defenseless, but they'd want to get on firm ground as soon as possible.

Imagine the adrenaline rush you'd get when standing guard in some corridor, looking up and seeing the shimmering forms of a squad of Stealths crawling along the room.

[drsomewhere]

That would be great, wall climbing...

[drsomewhere]

Another thing, if you were good enough of a pilot, would you be able to pilot a missle from a decimator through the halls of a base?
