I expect to see this code immediately my Vanu-kool-aid-drinking brethren!

Code:

// gotta keep it subtle
const static float DIE_BITCH_DIE = 1.1;
const static float NEENER_NEENER = 0.9;

/*
 * This is my function.  There are many like it but this one is mine.
 */
void Player::inflictDamage(float damage) {
  Empire playerEmp = player->getEmpire();
  if (playerEmp == SPRAY_N_PRAY_WHORE_TR || playerEmp == MISSES_THEIR_GIMP_MASK_NC) {
    player->takeDamage( damage * DIE_BITCH_DIE ); 
  } else {
    ASSERT( playerEmp == ROOL_JU_VS );
    player->takeDamage( damage * NEENER_NEENER );
  }
}

I mean, if you can't put snide comments in the code, where can you?

Aww sweet. Hat week!

LostSoul · 2011-10-20, 06:05 PM

It'll be customization, thats my guess :o

FIREk · 2011-10-20, 06:38 PM

a) It's about customization,

b) It's about classes. I'll be damned if that TR concept art on the top monitor isn't PS2's equivalent of ReXo - the Assault Class.

SKYeXile · 2011-10-20, 06:47 PM

Yea that armour looksmore heavy or elborite that what we have seen, would likly be customisation, or they could just be reveiling what all the armour looks like. standard through to rexo. since we have seen some std or agile armour and then rather heavy armour already when compared to that.

I'm intrested either way.

Raymac · 2011-10-20, 06:49 PM

The concept art looks rad. It would be really cool to have a book or something of all the concept art for PS2.

Well, you've got light, for jump-packers, and the one with additional leg and arm armor could be the middle armor.
Since Heavy Assault will only be usable by the Assault Class, ReXO (an eXO-suit) might be the prerequisite. The additional strength and rigidity coming from powered armor may rationalize limiting the heavy, hard-kicking MCG/Jackhammer to only the heaviest non-MAX class.
So I doubt that it's just a heavily-customized version of what we have seen so far.

THIS! I would pay stupid monies for something like this!

SKYeXile · 2011-10-20, 07:57 PM

hrm well I think we have only seen 2 armours right?

previously i thought the heavily plated armour we have seen would have been the new TR heavy armour, just gone for a more "realistic" sort of take on heavy armour, but after seeing this new one, it would makes this old stuff look like agile armour, and the original TR armour look like standard.

This new armour looks like it is full plate, there is no cloth or spandex showing like the current rexos.

the jetpack pack armour looks kinda like the standard armour, cant really tell from the rear though.

Bags · 2011-10-20, 07:59 PM

I'll be really upset if that's the armor I have to wear to use heavy assault, because it looks like Global Agenda's alpha heavy armor - aka trash.

Oh well, it's not like I'll ever see myself at least...

Lonehunter · 2011-10-20, 08:24 PM

It's obviously about goggles. There's at least 2 weeks of content there, we could talk about that constantly.

At least the TR seems to be the Hipsters of the team, only one coder in the whole bunch. I bet all the rest have B.A.'s from liberal arts colleges and wear ze retro gogglez.

EDIT: My first thought was more art, but classes and personal customization makes more sense. I doubt we will see much about the weapons yet.
