More vehicles?

[vasito]

Hi!

I couldnt find an answer to my question. Will there be more vehicles at release other than those known as of now?

I think APCs like the BTR or the Bradley would be awesome. And some armored jeeps? Maybe more tanks? Or big tanks operated by 5 ppl?

[Sephirex]

Nope.

The only Bradley-like vehicle right now is the lightning tank, although it is only manned by one person. As for APC's, there is the sunderer which is basically a HUGE armored jeep thing that can carry around 12 people. There are also ATV's that can fit one or maybe two people on them.

They've mentioned buggies might be added after launch. We've also seen concept art of a Deliverer-type vehicle. Basically, it's an MMO so they will be adding things for a long time.

So none of those cool "mechwarriors" I've seen on ps1 streams?

BattleFrame Robotics - that's what i meant ( "Mechwarrior" is a fitting description in my opinion - sry I didn't know the exact term... )

Well that's sad to hear - I like them from an esthetically point of view.

Hopefully not ever.

I remember the first time I saw a BFR, it was one of the Vanu ones (you know, vaguely humanoid) but whichever version it is that has that big... eye-stalk... thing... coming out of its head.

I stood there for a good ten or fifteen seconds just thinking "What. The... HELL...???"

Probably. They have indicated they intend to add more stuff in over time. This is just the initial release with "necessary" gameplay stuff in it.

[Furber]

Buggies are confirmed for post launch, hopefully in one of the first big game updates.

Not withstanding the fact it's only three letters. And don't even START on that with us, we'll really give you what for!

[QuantumMechanic]

Just to reiterate, or maybe even answer for the first time: *at release* don't expect any new vehicles othern than what you've seen already.

Yes there's this concept art of a cool looking deliverer-type vehicle, but we've not heard anything about it in months.

And absolutely they will be adding new vehicles over time, post launch.
