Gameplay: Prone for Magrider (+tanks)

[Monsta]

The magrider looks and act pretty much the same as the desecrator from ETQW:



This desecrator haves nice unique function which the enemy titans doesn't haves.
When activating this function it:

• turns of the engines/hover (if the ground is straight enough)
• and locks the vehicle on the ground (no vehicle movement)
• doesn't make engine sound (besides firing sound)
• is able to shoot a bit faster

This function could be interesting for having it as a sidegrade.

I will honestly admit that while this is not necessary and probably won't be needed in game... That is a cool idea If they ever did decide to go ahead and try artillery gun sidegrades for MBT's (who knows, they might make a unique tank or make the lightning get a sidegrade), that's what I would see for my Magrider.

That said, I really like the idea of all tanks being able to go into "siege mode" ala StarCraft, but the only thing I think locking down should do is either increase fire rate/reload speed or durability. We will see, though, maybe the devs like the idea of a lock down sidegrade for tanks and maybe we'll see a try for it in Beta.

Cool to hear Cuross! I'm actually wondering now if the magrider can use the leanleft (q) and leanright (e) keys for straving left & right without going forward?

Nice !!

I can imagine this for all 3 MBTs: Siege mode enabled

Sounds more like a seige tank, very cool though.

You are not the only one. ET:QW was one of my favorite shooters of all time.

I still play ETQW on daily basis and till today (didn't played PS2 yet!) I haven't found a more complete (team+vehicle+objective based) fps shooter. These days there are always 3 or 4 servers fully filled. If you ever like to fire it up again make sure to visit splashdamage.com forums to fix your punkbuster issue..
