Buggies, confirmed? - Page 2

He probably meant ATV, but let's take this thread in another direction and talk about the vehicles we miss from PS1!

My favorite vehicle to drive was the Raider, and my favorite vehicle to gun was the Marauder. I hope they both make a return!

I tweeted him and he did indeed mean the Flash ATV so this thread is kind of useless now but if people want to discuss how great the buggies were then that's awesome

Edit: Sent two tweets at him so the first one might look weird but his reply is the only thing that's relevant.

Beta is a little buggy at the moment. huh... So the new VS buggy is called the Beta ?

This must change ! I think Sigma and Epsilon would fit the VS more. Get me in beta !

No, the other beta.

Gah...

Just kidding, of course. But when I read "buggy" in that article, I thought about bugs for some reason.

PS2 buggy idea: flat bed in the back where you can put a MAX that is freely able to fire at enemies on the move. Get an Engi to ride shotgun and repair on the fly, and you've got a hell of a party.

That would be awesome!

I really want to see a vehicle without any weapons and the sole purpose of it is to drive around with a "MAX-Turret" mounted at your back!

Higby, make this happen!

Ghostwing · 2012-07-18, 08:32 AM

Or perhaps 2 Max's firing broadsides!

http://www.twonkhammer.com/686/rebel...ide-2-podcast/ at around 59 minutes he says that all vehicles we have seen will be in launch and buggies coming at a later date

They were actually my favorite vehicles I think. Every empires' version of the buggy was awesome, but I will have to hand it to the TR for having the best.

One of my happiest moments was hacking a marauder. It looks so much better painted in blue and gold

As a qualified Englishman, I can indeed confirm we call cigarettes '****'. However, it's not actually in reference to a homosexual person. You could say to someone who is gay 'Do you want ***?' without it getting awkward.

Although I prefer the term 'Cancer sticks'.

Nope, we just call them ATV, quads or Quad Bikes. When someone says buggy to me, I think of one if those cars you drive over sand dunes with a roll cage on it etc.

But yeah, a bonnet is a 'hood' and a boot is the 'trunk'.

You crazy yanks and your funny words

and everyone hates the French. It's cool.

I agree that buggy and ATV are two totally different things for a different purpose.

Azren · 2012-07-19, 03:21 AM

Buggies were confirmed a long time ago. They even said that the models are ready, they just didn't figure out how to implement them yet.

QuantumMechanic · 2012-07-19, 03:26 AM

Journalists who aren't as familiar with the game as we are make mistakes like this often. Recently one of them referred to the Lighting tank as the "Flash" (ATV).
