I'd be sad if I was Vanu, too.

Looking forward to see what sniping's all about in PS2. It's one of the few things I'm all right at in PS1.

Really now, I could see how that joke sorta worked for the old TR cloaker, but the new one is nothing like it

I dont think I've yet too really find brittish comedy fun. It's just not fun lol.

So that said, I've only really seen snippets of Monty Pythons, such as Ministry of Silly Walks and a few other that my friend has forced down my throat, but meh, not worth my time.

On topic, I like that they mentioned the scout rifle. Me and my friend were actually wondering if the game would have anything akin to a.. SKS or FN FAL or something like that, basically a semi auto rifle with good ranged capabilities, but still not quite a sniper so also OK at close-medium range.

NC cloaker > all.

I'm not much into cloaking gameplay in general, but I cant wait to potentially pull off some infil squad action with my outfit. Not as a regular thing, but it could be fun on a rare occasion. I could imagine the "oh shit" feeling you get when you turn on your darklight and notice you are surrounded by 10 infils and before you realize you are dead

EPIC e-pic!

That blurb is a bit concerning for me also, my favorite things as an infiltrator was doing spec ops.. Sneaking into a hugely contested base and taking down the gen solo, hacking out maxes and taking the tubes out.. Infecting interlink facilities with no radar viruses to help an assault, sure.. adding the sniping sounds fun but what of spec ops and sneaking around that became a way of playing for so many in PS1? My KnifedInTheBack char would be sad if none of that was available in PS2 ! Other things i have questions about is the whole Wraith/cloaker dynamic.. Can i haul around a ton of boomers anymore? put my CUD in my wraith so i dont have to carry it around all the time? so many questions...

You'd think they would mention it in the blurb though, it's simply slightly concerning that they didn't. Instead choosing to focus on the shooting aspect which is far less interesting, to me atleast.

megamold · 2012-03-21, 11:03 AM

to me they havent focused on anything yet, they just showed us some simple stuff with little information and some screens.

FastAndFree · 2012-03-21, 11:18 AM

Is anyone else concerned that this will be a rather boring week (for us), considering that we have alredy seen all the infiltrators before and they don't seem to be revealing much news in the text either?

MAX week come ooooooon

No. The AMA on reddit this week will reveal ridiculous amounts of information, with thousands of questions being asked.

One thing I was going to point out was the ability to take out a units medic. I know in PS1 my outfit all had Adv Med which meant we all had to die or else everyone would be back up and killing stuff in less than a min. With medics being a specific class that have a stab-me-in-the-back backpack identifier, this would be a prime target for any infiltrator.

In case you didn't watch the entire interview b/t Higby & Gametrailers there was some action between a Cloaker and Higby, I prsume. I watched a Cloacker one-shot him a chainblade and then at the very end he got 3 shotted by a Repeater pistol that a Cloaker was wielding. I presume medics have the about the same TTK as a light assault.
