Post launch weapons and vehicles.

RodenyC · 2012-01-31, 09:42 PM

What are some of the PS1 weapons and vehicles you would like to see make a comeback post launch of PS2?I am hoping for the Phatasm and some of the buggies make a comeback.Especially the Phatasm.If done right could lead to some interesting drops at night.

I really hope the Phantasm makes its way back in. It's my most used vehicle.

I wouldn't want to see anything ancient-tech styled, but the return of router functionality might be nice, depending on whether it fits in PS2 (similarly, if the Phantasm were to return I'd rather see it look more like everything else).

Also, I'll miss my bolt driver if it's not there at release. If that's the case, I'd like to see that return.

Regarding post launch vehicles I'm hoping to see the Vulture.

Can't tell if serious. If you actually got kills with that at a consistent rate to make it a viable weapon then you are amazing. Would be interesting if they reintroduced it with some changes.

Although he is amazing you don't need to be that to get kills with it consistently.

All you have to do is to get the bombs to explode at the level where the nme are hiding. the crucial thing is the bombs have to explode above the ground, once they hit the ground they don't explode.

On topic.

the Ant and the refill function.
the Deli, apart from anything else the TR/NC may possibly need a fvehicle that can float on water.

Edit again ..... we may need a router. If the bases are too defensible it may be necessary to break fortesses.

That's why I liked it since it takes some skill to master. During one of my best runs with it one day, I had a k/d of 134/3 with it, and that was after they nerfed it. If you know how to use it properly, it's like having a hand-held flail. I'm almost certain I was the first player on the server to get the auraxium merit for the scorpion. Loved it and hope something like that returns.

One of my favorite combos was the scorpion/bolt driver combo. Fire the scorpion, wait until it's about to explode, then hit an enemy sniper with the bolt driver. It's an insta-kill 90% of the time.

But yeah, the big problem was players didn't know how to use the scorpion, due to bad help pages in-game. They don't realize it can 1-hit kill players on a consistent basis if used properly.

I want to see the Deliverer and her variants make a return. Amphibious vehicles FTW.

ThGlump · 2012-02-01, 02:12 PM

It had a gun for a few weeks before they finally changed it. Was pretty annoying to basically have a cloaked mossie with the armor of a liberator. If you look carefully, you can still see where the gun was mounted on the model.
