At the time you could still loot and store them. TR were usually much less likely to flick DL if they heard a chain blade as opposed to mag-cutter.

Good enough for me.

What I would personally like to see AND in my opinion is THE way a MMO should have their buisness modell is a hybrid of F2P and B2P (buy to play).
My idea:
B2P 50€ or whatever they want to charge in the first place.
F2P afterwards (like Guild Wars) + Additional Microtransaction Shop for all the stuff they mentioned (Customization)

Personally i think this would also help a lot more people to draw their attention to the game, because I know a lot of guys that simply hate the subscription model in some MMOs and the 50€ "Account Creation" could help keeping the ammount of hackers whithin PS low.

The game has no monthly subscription





It simply charges you 50 cents every time you respawn

If they are hiring a 3rd party "Security Firm" it is prob going to be sub base, especially since Smed said that they were the best in the business.

Delete that shit. Don't give them any ideas like that. Some of my meatgrinder interfarm assault days will cost me hundreds.

I'd get to play for free!

Okay, not really.

[Whoknowswhat1]

i would rather have a $20 per month sub than 50 cents per death... i think i get more than 40 deaths per month. it is the same for everyone who plays as much as i would die 2-3 times that amount in a given week

[Aractain]

Whats funny about that is it would drive away all the bad players, meaning no one left to play the... wait a second, thats what happened last time!

I really hope there is no sub. Subs drive bad players away and I can only kill bad players.

Yea WoW is full of people who stand in non moving fire on the ground. Then they complain when they die.

Subs drive away bad players, who go play wow.

yea but that is an RPG, which takes no skill. so players from WoW that are moderately good, are bad to decent in other games. This is an FPS. It take a certain amount of skill to kill and not to die. although it is mostly common sense, WoW has killed that factor out of its gameplay. (it tells people where to stand, where not to stand, what to do, and even points a big fucking arrow in the direction you need to go).

It was a joke but it's kind of true.

You just keep thinking that. Does high level arena play take as much skill as high level SC2, shooter play, etc? Maybe not. Is it skilless? No.
