Shotguns on cloakers? What are these guys doing?!1?

[Bags]

Obligatory~

[NewSith]

Beat me to it =)

[Biscuit]

lmao wow...that was fast.

[DayOne]

OH NOES!

[Knightwyvern]

This will be fun. :D

Yep, Silenced cloaker shotgun. Love it!

But I'm heartbroken about no grenade launchers on sniper rifles. WTF man. WTF.

[Crator]

Didn't they say silencers for shotguns too? Hmm, cloakers with silencer mod on shotgun. Gonna get interesting.

[NewSith]

Grenades: frag, jammer, concussion, smoke - light assault, heal, revive, boomer=c4 for everybody, mines

infils - sniper rifle, scout rifle, shotguns ???

^ My Notes

I also missed the part where they were talking about the flamer, is it max only?

[SurgeonX]

To be fair, Higby did counter with "what seems like wouldn't work in PS1 will work in PS2..."

and then T-Ray mentioned to "wait until beta before making up your minds."

Or along those lines anyway.

[SniperSteve]

flamer is max only

[Lonehunter]

I love shotguns on Cloakers as long as they aren't 1 hit kill. It really follows the risk vs reward feel with cloaking and zero armor. If you miss a shot or 2 your toast.

[Crator]

flamer = max only and common pool

[Knightwyvern]

I'm really loving how they said there will be multiple types of each weapon category to choose from per class, per empire. That's awesome. Also, 3 choices for sidearms? Awesome!

RABBLE! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

[DayOne]

RABBLE! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

Yep, annoying. :p

[Sifer2]

Well the real question is if something like Dark Light vision is still in the game. If it is then it will just be a lot more important.

[DaddyTickles]

Can cloakers have grenade launchers on their silenced shotties?

[Xaine]

I SAW THIS COMING.

[DayOne]

Don't forget the 8x zoom scopes!

[DaddyTickles]

Don't forget the 8x zoom scopes!

Lol yeah, so you can really zoom in on the guys back from 2 metres! lol, love it!:lol:

[Knightwyvern]

I wonder what the infil grenade options are?

[Myomoto]

I wonder what the infil grenade options are?

Well for one, it sounds like everybody is getting satchel charges, meaning that cloakers could potentially sneak up on a tank, de-cloak (I imagine they would have to do so to use any weapons) and then load the weaker rear armour of the tank up with a healthy dose of vitamin C-4.

As for their support grenades; it would be really cool to see them get decoy grenades, like a little speaker that would replicate gun sounds every now and again, which would then pop up on enemies' radars. With this you could draw people away from areas you're trying to infiltrate, or just generally try to lure people away from friends, so you can shotgun them in the face without being spotted :D

[MooK]

You know, Boomer had class to it. C4 sounds like we're using 600 year old technology, when we should have something more appropriate.

[basti]

Yep, annoying. :p

FU! :D

QFT. It HAS to be Boomer. I mean it sounds Scifi. C4 sounds vietnam:mad:

Boomer it shall be! :groovy:

Hmmmm, I'm liking the idea of a radar decoy. That would keep players running around in a panic for a while! :D

Yes I think infils will innately be better at using boomers/c-4 than other classes, in general.

[Warborn]

Yep, there's dark light. Thermal scopes might be able to detect them too? I don't know, but cloakers are all about shooting people with guns from a distance now so I imagine the counter-measures to their cloak will necessarily be pretty strong.

It won't be called C-4 in the game. But everybody knows what it is when you call it that.
