BFR Voteing Poll

[Sigma]

Vote if you want mechs or not.

[Meursault00]

I wish we could have kept the BFR discussion to one post, but I guess two will have to do. Please no more, I don't think anyone want BFRs swamping the forums like junk mail

[Lartnev]

Pointless poll until we know more details.

[Batousai]

I want them in the game cause its something new.

even tho i side with doppler and want base defences to be stronger

[TheRagingGerbil]

Ah hell, why not.

[Spee]

Ah hell, why not.


Thats a Gerbil.

[HawkEye]

i dont really care is they get put in game or not.

[Mag-Mower]

Burn! Burn The Mechs

[TheN00b]

Nah, keep the BFR's out. Leave it to the Mechwarrior makers to make a Mech MMOFPS: *Drools*. Can you imagine, dozens of Nova Cats charging into battle with MKII support? That'd be so sweet...

[Lartnev]

/me jumps in his bushwacker and swiftly places some autocannon rounds into TheN00b's back

[JetRaiden]

Today's Spelling lesson:

VOTING

V-O-T-I-N-G

[Firefly]

I vote yes. Because mechs rule and Microsuck isn't on the ball in terms of PC-based MMO.

[Indecisive]

Mechs for the win.

Major win.

[F!LTER]

Giant killer robots are badass. All power to 'em.

[Ait'al]

I think they, once again, need to finish dealing with certain game issues before they add new stuff like this. If this game becomes unplayable and i have to throw my 120+ dollars out the window im going to find where tehy live and bash their heads in with a bat!

If they do add this tehy really need to actually tell us how they fit in the game this time since theyre changing the entire game genre. Unless they arent that great. Where can these possibly fit in the game. If they are abandoning hte entire game design they damn well better get off their ass and start telling us so we can decide whether or not we want a refund.

Yeah to bad MicroSoft killed off the PC Mech Warrior series. Fucking Bastards.

[mechaman]

I think any change to this game should be welcomed. I left the game because I was sick of all the same shit.

[Psy]

I wouldnt really like the mechs.


What I would like is if they put in Heavy tanks:love:

[Lonehunter]

Ok, I've been gone for a few days so I have no idea what BFR stands for, but around where I live Whitewater rafting is a big industry and one term the Raft guides use is BFR. But that means Big Fucking Rock and I doubt that's what this BFR stand for, so who can fill me in?

[Lartnev]

Lies. Mechwarrior 4 for the win!

Big-Fucking-Robot its the official Term.

(Its something silly like battleframe robot)

[Hoza]

Nay to Mech's.
Yay to Heavy tanks.

Actually I wouldn't mind walkers provided they weren't too big - certainly shorter than a base wall... more like uber MAX's .. but that wouldn't give you any real teamwork boost cos they'd probably be 1 man affairs.

Change "Rock" to "Robot".... Or BattleFRames if you want to be polite.

[Warborn]

I'm glad these are being added to PS. As that interview said, PS never really seemed futuristic. BFRs should do the trick. Excellent addition, especially if they're designed to eat vehicles alive like it looks, as I am sick and tired of tanks being the only vehicle worthwhile for killing stuff on the ground (whether vehicles or infantry). All-in-one vehicles suck ass, so it'd be excellent for tanks to not be at the top of the vehicle food chain any longer.

[Meursault00]

Today I ran into a hoard of prowlers in my harrasser. My gunner and I did our best to run away, only to run into a tree and explode.

I hope the BFRs come soon. I hate being in these situations, but with the BFRs...*snicker*

[Doppler]

Youll run into a load of bfrs in your harraser.

[Meursault00]

Not if the ability to get a BFR is limited. (Browse big BFR thread for more info)

[I Hate Pants]

As long as each empire can only have a limited amount of BFRs on the map at a time, im all for it. I seriously don't want to have to be defending and see 5 BFRs heading towards the base.

[Dharkbayne]

I'd rather see BFRs only available from the sanc, so every time you die, you gotta run back and get a new one

[Indecisive]

Thats not a big disadvantage with broadcast warpgates, being 20 meters tall, and being able to fly around though.

[Meursault00]

I want BFRs to be only accessible from the caverns (I don't know how you would get them out without hitting the ceiling)

[matty]

Definately not. We dont need another flail type weapon that only the people that spend more money can get [yes, I have CC and think its a complete waste]. If I wanted mechs, I would go play Mechwarrior.

Im always happy to see new content, but mechs are just dumb. If your going to steal something from another game, make it something good.

Are you really *that* stupid? Really? Please, tell me that you're joking. PLEASE.

[SquirrelMan]

hell. yes.

[Lartnev]

How are they changing the entire genre by adding glorified MAX units to the game?

And the "If I wanted to use mechs, I'd go and play mechwarrior" argument is a)old and b)irrelevent.

[NoSurrender]

remember ait is not normal, hes not even remotely intelligent.

[ZjinPS]

I feel sorry for the first 'mech to make it to the battlefield. I'd wager a monsterous effort to take it down. Odds are if/when it happens more people will argue on who was the first to take one down than who was the first to field one.

Theres already enough inconsequential vehicle certs in the game. I'd hate to loose the respect I have for a Vanguard or Magrider as a grunt. Some vehicles are fun to ride in and gun, but if the CR5's had their way they'd rather see a Prowler or Magrider out of the vehicle pad than a harasser or fury.

Speaking of the fury has anyone officially renamed it to 'Craptaciular Ticket to Respawn'? Only use I have found is parking it outside a tower door and spamming away. Aiming the rockets is almost impossible if your target is moving laterally. Even trying to park it in such a way that the weapon can be used effectively is a huge pain in the rump. Sigh.. maybe if it was a two seater ATV with a more directable field of fire. Save your 2 certs and get a Skeeter.

[Lartnev]

I think the idea is it's to be use it on the move against a large target such as a tank. It does work :)

[Boomer]

Me being a Madcat Fan and a MW3 fan... I want to see this in Planetside. I would love to have jetpacks like the bushy. The thing i dont like is the fact that the generator is soooo weak. Bah. How can A sniper disable a mech's shields? ;) seems a little unfair to me.

This may make me go buy CC.

[Lartnev]

Well when it can take a fully fladged artillery round to the face, it sounds fair to me. Strange but definately fair :)

[NinjaBob]

isnt a max sortve a mech?

[Lartnev]

Erm, technically no. A MAX unit (as its name implies) is merely really heavy armour with weapons strapped to it. A mech is something that a person has to sit in and pilot.

But for all intents and purposes though, a mech is just a much larger version of a MAX.
