News: Has this been posted before?

[AWP]

I just found this video that was posted up the 14th of July. I did not find this on the PS2 info thread so i was unsure if this has been posted before.

One of the things that stood out to me was around the 5:40 mark.

Higby starts to talk about how the mission system is used to spawn players. He also talks about how the HART timer is gone.


Still i have no idea if this is old news or not.

I haven't seen it before, but there's nothing new in it.

Adding it to my info thread i guess.

I think this is news-worthy, actually.

Around 4:20 Matt said that each empire will have its own unique MBT and "its own unique main fighter". So the Mosquito may end up being TR-specific.

Well, I haven't heard this before, anyway.

MBT stands for Main Battle Tank, AKA Prowler, AKA Magrider, AKA Vanguard.

Good catch, that IS pretty awesome. We haven't heard anything about empire-specific air vehicles yet. Not sure if the "main fighter" he's talking about would be the Mossie, Reaver, or some other ship, but I'm really looking forward to that.

I must have missed it before, but I also didn't know we'd be able to level multiple skills simultaneously. I figured we'd work on improving the assault rifle one day, then your tank the next day, then your stamina, etc. I'm excited that I'll be able to improve sniping, medic, and MAX all at once.

Oh, I know that, I just mentioned that part to provide context.

To date we have only seen the Mosquito in TR colors. Also, odds are the Vanu fighter will look like a Covenant Banshee, huh?



I'm pretty sure that by "multiple skills" he meant multiple skills in one queue, not multiple skills at a time, though.

Finally we will be able to tell apart (at least some) aircraft by their silhouette!

I guess all aircav pilots are familiar with the Who's that let's fly at each other oh you are a friendly hi bye flyby

[Furret]

I love those flybys

I take the time to hit vvh to say hi and i forget to steer so we collide, i say hi, and they /tell me that i'm an asshole D:

I'm pretty sure that background noise was Hamma and I doh :P

hmm I thought this was posted before but I guess maybe it wasn't. I took a look through our news posts last month and nothing.

I'll get this posted up later today.

It was the same way in the original.

A couple empire specific, with the common pools mixed in. I don't mind it being that way.

A Empire specific fighter? ohhhhhhh wooot.

Maybe something new, besides the mossy and reaver?

And I hated the fact only 2 vehicles were empire specific and not even a single aircraft was. (BFRs were but... BFRs)

[CutterJohn]

Bah. More empire specific stuff. Here I'd hoped they'd try to balance the game better.
