Warp Gate

[SlapNut]

What is a warp gate, ive seen tons of pics of them, but i have no idea what they are.

also, on all the screenshots, i see Hamma's name along with the other names, on every one, gee he likes planetside

The warp gate is the method for transporting yourself from continent to continent.....

They are also safe areas (the gate being surrounded by a shield) that allows no fire inside no matter what.

Also they are the point where you can fill up an ANT to take back to your bases to "refuel" them.

Watch these spaces - i can see alot of funny and serious battles outside them as people get ambushed and also people try to stop the ANTS. Have found myself stuck inside one with a full ANT but no cover, seeing a reaver and stuff outside waiting for me....

[SlapNut]

alright, so a drop pod is to get to a place within the contenent, and a warpgate is to go to a new contenent, cool, wonder if u can warp to one of the moons?

[Hawklans]

theres lots of ways to get around a continent, using the spawn tubes, vehicles and galaxies etc......

And Slapnut........PLEASE look at the interview or some kind of information page, PLEASE!!!!!!

i'd say more bout pods and gates, but i dont wana waste my breath while you could be lookin at the info pages.

I'd imagine a sniper hiding in somewhat of a dense area possibly a hundred yards from the warpgate's shield just waiting to pick off convoys going to fill up their ants.

[BUGGER]

na.......that sniper would die....why? because the wait just for that vehicle/infantry unit....

if any warp camping, well....actually none.....only scouting mosquitos and reavers......

BUT, if the gate was the only gate avalable to that emipre, some nessisary camping should take place...

Like 2 heavy tanks on each side of gate, 3 snipers triangluar from each other, 4 MAXs, 3 lightnings and buggies and heavy buggies triangular from each other, 4 quads, AMS behind a hill, 2 deliverers on each side, 2 wraiths, 3 Mosquitos and reavers just circling the gate, and maybe a galaxy incase the convoy/group trys to excape....

Thats roughly around 50 guys guarding a gate........and that is like the ultimate defensive gate huggers

[Tieom]

Nah, ultimate gate-huggers would be TR MAXs alternating AI/AV/AA, anchored, facing inwards, practically touching each other, far enough away so you can blow a vehicle away before it will be able to ram you, the whole way around. And, of course, a support platoon doing ammo runs, medics, bringing in new MAXs if someone needs to log off, etc.
So you'd need about 150 people non-stop. For each gate. Why not just get continent lock, so you dont HAVE to defend the gates, only the bases?

[BUGGER]

Thats why there will be few dumb people who will me warp huggers..........while em 150 will be fighting to get a cont. lock.
