Vehicle variety

windlord · 2012-06-13, 04:23 AM

So I'm waiting like the rest of you and constantly thinking about how awesome this game will be.

Now I remembered reading somewhere that there would be about 11-12 vehicles available per faction and a certain number of faction specific vehicles.

Personally I'm happy enough with what we have. However there seems to be less vehicles than initially intimated.

So what other vehicles (other than boats and space ships), could there possibly be?

I'd hope that the dune buggy series of vehicles would make a return - the enforcer was a stupid amount of fun.

It seems the devs have gone with a lesser number of base vehicles than PS1, but it appears you can customize the shit out of them to the point that one fully specialized vehicle may end up being like a completely new vehicle.

I smell thread derailing.

^ this. And I think this is the right way to go. A lot less confusing for people entering the game for the first time... there aren't hundreds of vehicles to learn like pokemon. As far as learning curve, it will be a lot simpler to learn to fly only 3 different planes.

More of something doesn't always make it better.

Buggys, which have yet to make it into the game but will see eventually. From my understanding is that we will not see them till after release. I know I want my Enforcer back. There is a role that still needs to be filled and buggys look to do that.

I know its nuts but hand gliders keep popping into my head. No guns or anything so there's your risk and you can't gain altitude.

I realise of course there are jet packs. It's just that the landscape is so gorgeous hand gliders seem ultra cool. Especially at night as they wouldn't have lights.

I think they were talking about being able to trick out the light assault jetpack for more horizontal flight instead of vertical, so you could dive off a cliff and glide to a relatively distant base.

Buggies!! Marauder is still my favourite vehicle - id also like to see more support vehicles like bridge tank that can clear mines and has maybe a machine gun on top..

I don't want them to add vehicles just to have a large number. The vehicles I think are broken down into good groups based on speed and size and then each is customizable to build what you want. That's the way it should be in my opinion.

A glider type vehicle would be a new style, I like the concept. I played an Xbox version of a game called Shadowrun that had gliders that were very well done in my opinion. It wasn't overpowered, you traded maneuverability for safety because you were a target, and you couldn't zoom here and there.
