Well for 1, the people that played PS1 know that those sound extremely similar to exisiting vehicles i.e. the Reaver and Phantasm

I think this thread needs a "Leave/Rename" poll.

Group of flashers inbound, hide your children!

Flash has an awesome high, a deadly low, it's extremely addictive and it turns your eyes white.

I'm not calling it Flash.

I bet it's going to change they prob just picked any name so it was called something in the demo. haha

I so despised the aimbot-dominating Furies (once had one hit me with a rocket, then the next rocket of the VERY SAME PAIR hit my AMS. Why was this an aimbot? Because my AMS was about 60 degrees divergent from me, and I had just ducked behind a rock as the first rocket struck, impossible for someone to do)

I like Flash much better. Do they have rocket-equipped ones called Bangs?

Aimbots don't exist for PlanetSide...

On topic, I sounds kind of like a placeholder name, but really who cares what the ATV is called...

Stupid statement of the year award. But, for the cheater, like for Adolph Hitler, the bigger the lie, the more likely he guesses that people will accept it.

It's named after the ID of the best Starcraft: Brood War player of all time, Lee Young-Ho. That's what you get when an ESPORTS fanatic is your game's Creative Designer. As a fellow SC/SC2 enthusiast I support this.

Have to say that they did some weird decisions

They ask us about 1) ATV name 2) quick knife 3) kill cam, from which 2 and 3 were completely obliterated as ideas from the vet community. I dont remember how the ATV name poll ended, but they end up using neither and going for a whole new name

Flash is OK, I guess. I do agree that Fury is somehow better.

Coreldan

Good points there.
