News: Lunch interview with Higby: Complete

[NapalmEnima]

Okay! Good lunch, the interview is recorded, and I'll be able to upload it from my phone when I get home tonight (PDT). I'd like to once again thank Matt for agreeing to the interview and bearing with me through the whole list.

Some highlights:

Health & Armor is no more. It's now Health & Shields. You'll have a variety of shields to choose from, trading off max charge, charge rate, and charge delay.

Galaxies can spawn while airborn, and are not limited to spawning a particular squad or platoon. If the pilot has the right cert, you can even spawn in a MAX.

Equipment timers are still present. MAXes will probably have timers.

Vehicle entrance/exit animations are still under discussion.

Some sort of social networking hooks will be present.

The Sunderer & Jackhammer were specifically named.

My 1-hour/110mb audio file should be up tonight with a little luck.

EDIT: I would like it known that Matt did NOT pound a red bull prior to the interview.

Update: News URL and Audio Recording!
