I don't see any kind of mounted camera on there, but the video feed could always go strait to your visor. (If the Phoenix mechanic is returning)

It was confirmed Phoenix won't be camera controlled like it was, but "laser guided".

Re: got nc launcher?


Just make it the same color as the Phoenix, IMO. It's a dark blue, basically. Still looks like a material a weapon could be made out of. Otherwise, I think it looks fine.

Frankly, however, I think it's bullcrap that they're removing the camera fire from the Phoenix. Just...unbelievable. I sure hope it's not because they thought it was too powerful because that's just ridiculous reasoning. It was a one of a kind weapon, fun to use.

Phoenix sniping was the most annoying thing in the game and should never come back in this game or any other.

I'm glad they are, it's finally balanced. You shouldn't be able to sit behind a hill, unable to be fired upon, and your whole team is spamming rockets into the base. The Phoenix needs to be on par with the Lancer/Striker. They are finally fixing it.

You're talking as if there's nothing they could've done to balance it.

Exactly, the way to balance it was to take it out.

I think the game's probably better off without the Phoenix being how it was in Planetside. It wasn't unbalanced so much as it's existence seemed devoted to being annoying.

That's a better way of wording it. It wasn't exactly unbalanced.

I only used for that purpose on annoying ass snipers that had nothing better to do. I am man enough to admit it. With that said, I agree its probably for the best the camera option is gone. Balancing and all.

The Phoenix was only effective as a group, it was way too slow to be really effective alone. It was also really annoying. I too used it to piss off snipers and engineers who insisted on covering land with CE.

I like this change, though it will probably still be pretty garbage if it's single shot.

Are you frikken kidding me?

You think it's OP because you can fire it from behind a rock?

You VS get those rapid fire AV sniper rifles aka Lancer, the TR get their fire and forget missiles and we NC get to fire one missile every 10 seconds...and you think WE got the best AV missile?
