Drop pod hunting

[Tolvy]

I wonder if you could shoot down the drop pods that are coming down from orbit. It would be extremely hard to find one, but in a mosquito, you could probably shoot one down. Or is it too heavily armored? The person is defenceless in that little pod.

Nah, droppods are invulnerable.

But you could follow them and hunt down whoever comes out.

[Tolvy]

It would be funny to see someone open their drop pod door only to find a few grenades bouncing near them...

[mikkyT]

shhhhhh be vewy quite, I'm hunting drop pods...

[MrVulcan]

but it is even better when you are going to get the guy in the drop pod, and his friend's drop pod lands on you :lol: :lol:

"hmmm anyone else notice a muffled scream on the way in?... must have just imagined it, oh well..."

[SilentCacophony]

I can't recall, but can you drop pod on your own and with a squad, or does it have to be one or the other?

Would be nice to have a drop pod land in a forest completely surrounded by you and some friend's on coffee break amongst the trees.

[Kalam]

Only one person per Droppod, but lots of droppods on one HART

[SilentCacophony]

K, that's what I thought. That allows you to guess how many guys you're about to run into a lot better when you see a bunch coming down. Lot better than seeing one coming and thinking "He he, I'm gonna get this guy first" then 16 MAX's pile out.

I wanna see a shower of drop pods falling outa the sky smoking a bunch of galaxys flying in formation ,just like the bug plazma in starship troopers:D

[MrVulcan]

now waht if they hit the galaxys that crashed into the tanks and inf on the ground? Take out your enemies entire force and not get hurt :lol: I cant wait 4 that to happen :lol:

You will.

[edit]Oh. Wait. Smoking Galaxy's? Doubtful. Drop Pods don't look like they have external weapons. But showers of pods? Yes. Definitely. If your Outfit is smart.[/quote]

Wait. Smoking Galaxy's? Doubtful. Drop Pods don't look like they have external weapons.

A dev has already told us a story where his pod came down on a galaxy and destroyed it.

And an alert D will spot pod drops and react to them with vehicles. Big ones. "Buggies & Reavers & Tanks! Oh my!!"

[Deadlock]

i wanna see d'day reinacted with drop pods. would make u wet urself if ur a skeeter on recon and u see like 150 drop pods landing along ur shore

[Nightmare]

It's too bad they have those rockets on them to slow them down. It would be halarious to be scouting with a friend and suddenly a pod slams into the ground right where he was standig. That would be hilarious! :rofl:

[ABRAXAAS]

Oh yeah it would be so hilarious if you were talkin to to some guy and bam a drop pod slams down on him :rofl:

[Nightmare]

What if when a bunch of people go into space, 2 people choose to land at the same spot at about the same time? Would they land on each other or something?

If so I susspect we'll be seeing some funny screen shots of towers of drop pods:D

[Nightmare]

*pod lands*

player - now to attack that base!

pod - please watch your step.

player - huh? AHHHHHHhhhhhh... *thump*

[Deadlock]

hopefully theres something to prevent that, otherwise we're gonna end up with some freakin alien totum poles.

And do drop pods land neatly on the ground, or do they crater on inmapct? :rolleyes:

If crater, amjin wat would happen if a soldier was under neath.

"So ya know I was in the tower one day on patrol, and this tight ass babe was down talkin to her playmates. But then a guy cvame along and started talkin to her. I ran down as fast as I could smacked, the hell outa the guy, and yelled 'lose it you mother F-" **!!!slam!!!**:D

[Deadlock]

d-day as in the whole "im gonna go kick some nazi ass" thingy

[BUGGER]

:clap: :thumbsup: :sniper:

[VanuSovereignty]

Drop-pod totem-pole. XD Now..How are these things gonna look, like Halo's semen lifeboats? x.x;

And..When they hit the ground, are they permanetly there or do they disappear eventually? Cause I think it'll be cool if there was a major battle on a spot with a whole bunch of pods. XD Be all..standing behind one, and mabe climb up into one, using it like a hole, or hilly terrain, and if it's to tall to get ontop of, be like..-

"Hey, someone stand next to this pod, I gotta jump from your head to the top of it!"

[MrVulcan]

everything goes away rather fast after it can not longer be used.

I also dont think that they will let you land right were another was just launched to, prob jsut move you over 10 ft auto

I would assume that they land nicely on the ground because they have the kinetic dampener things. Just look at the screeny I posted at the top of the page.

[BUGGER]

O

Hey wat are thoughs in da background? they look like rocks? Or is that something else?

[SilentCacophony]

What I wanna know, is if you'll be able to land on a Tower. Yeah yeah, SOI, but here's how I see it.

A) I don't think towers have an SOI, cause they're not in the overhead screenshots of cyssor.

B) If something isn't taken over, does it have a sort of neutral SOI, or can you land right on it?

[mikkyT]

Who gets the BEP I wonder?!

[Deadlock]

geez that would be cheap if u got the beps for that. hundreds of people would eventually figure it out and drop pods would be raining from the sky in hopes of hitting someone.

[MrVulcan]

lol, 1st day lvl 20s
"hay i jsut started, and what do i do with these 5,000,000 bep pts that i jsut got for sitting in a drop pod???" :lol: that would be funny

[mikkyT]

LOL im creased with laughing so much i can hardly type!
