I am really hoping 90% of the people say land... but I know it isn't even going to be close to that....

Fighting on the ground. With a knife. God, I'm so hardcore.

Ground based combat.
Jeep jumping and terrain cover > cloud hopping.

While air will have its uses, you are only going to be able to take bases with ground troops. So best to go with ground.

no matter what, most of the fighting will be done on land because that's what this game is geared towards. yes they have aircrafts but not that many. they have there roles. there are alot more vehicles. also they would not have made so many weapons if it were going to be an air battle, nor armor, implants, etc....

It would certainly be an unbalanced game if we had 10 land votes and 21 air! So that poll reflects a balanced game, sortof - still too many pilots :)

who really knows.. I was just seeing what people are going to do.. this community is small compared to the whole so we will have to just wait and see :p

as many times as people say that all they want to do is fly an aircraft, we all know that they will want to fight in regular ground combat.

If all they want to do if fly a plane, get a plane simulator... :D

I plan to fly about in a skeeter to locate targets, then get out, snipe, fly off and repeat.

Should have been what vehicle combat will you do, because as far as I know there is no floating suit for us to fight in the air with :)

There is just something about taking a group of Reavers and doing strafing runs on tank formations that sounds so appealing :D

Another thing to think about is most tanker types aren't going to be following a game's progress 2 or 3 months BEFORE it comes out

There will probably be a lot of pilots as soon as people get enough cert points. But they will find that it's hard not to be noticed (and soon shot down) while in a large craft high in the air.

Personally, I prefer an infiltration suit and knife and sticking to the forest. Any other situation calls for Lancer/Reinforced or some kind of MAX.

please can u qualify that statement!?

Qualification of statement as follows:

Look to your left, look to your right, look in the mirror.

Unless you see a hot babe somewhere in there, you probably only see last week's moldy pizza box, your cats, and some baggy eyes. Only uber-nerds like us care enough about a video game to be on chat boards about it *now.*

<Throws pizza box at cat in frustration at being a nerd>

(None of this was serious, by the way)

Oops, almost forgot, while there are no floating suits, there are AA weapons on MAX armors that will probably be pretty effective. So be careful when you go on those strafing runs lest those helpless Sunderers start disgorging very not helpless AA-equipped MAXs

i think between the four characters ill have at my disposal ill be able to have a balence between air and ground. infact, im planning for one of my characters to specialize in esscorting. get some friends to do the same and have an esscort outfit for those big-ol' galaxys and trooptransports in need of safe passage.

There is no water combat so you have to on land, or in the air.

In the air, giving fire support and transporting ground troops at the speed of sound (okok, slow sound but still :D ). The Galaxy = another name for my new hobby ;)

I will most likely want to try both if I can, but will probably settle with my ground pounding skills. So if I had to pick one, land it is. I may end up doing the other if I am better at it. I won't know for sure until I get to gamin'.:p
