Higby and T-Ray hinted that they will have servers in various countries. They said their partnership with The9 in China was part of it.

Sometime after launch, they are looking for a system which will allow users to design their own skin patterns.

They are working on multi-monitor support (Eyefinity etc).

They also confirmed my Q about water, it is in-game we just have not seen it yet. And no, we cannot swim....confirmed.

Interesting about the no swim... Would've thunk that they would have done that....

BillyBob · 2012-06-28, 11:08 PM

Certifications are tied to advancement, not access. Everyone will have basic access to all vehicles, but cert points can be used to specialize further.

Mobile device access is currently view only, but the plan for the future is to be able to cert into launching drone strikes etc from "outside" the game through the app.

Possible support for TrackIR in PS2, they are currently looking into it.

No current plans for a boxed Collectors Edition of PS2, but they are working on an art book.

TRay said you can't swim 'yet'. Take that as you like.

Really? It was a much voted on feature by the community. Wait, are you trolling?

TRAY gave a resounding "No", whether it was out of annoyance because the question was asked a lot, or if it's true I can't say.

Buggy/Jeep vehicles are already modeled, but will not be in game at launch. Apparently just a matter of balancing.

There are several different types of cloaks available to Infiltrators. Some allow you to carry more but not be as visible and vice versa.

Yea there's heaps of overlap, people that play FPS's like to think they're better at them then MMO players, in some case they maybe right, but odds are they're not. but the good video game players can really be good at everything, perhaps not as good cross genre, eg might not be able to play both in the top .5%. but IMO its all just a matter of time committed, if you're not a retard, have good communication, and half decent kb/mouse skills you will do well at them all.

Burnzblood · 2012-06-28, 11:25 PM

T-ray was pretty "adament" with his "No" so I took that as a "Never" since he doesn't look forward to the huge animation adventure that would entail.

Zulthus · 2012-06-28, 11:29 PM

Yeah, it sounded like they are absolutely not going to add in enter/exit anims. It almost sounded like they were mad/annoyed when he asked that.

Disappointing.
