My SOE Visit

[Gooey]

I particularly enjoyed it when Hamma killed Smedley in the big grand finale battle near the end of the day.

We had a good chukle in the vanu room over that one.

[Doobz]

what can u say about the physics?
were they cartoonish, realistic?
how was the flight model?

i hope it's nothing like the T2 one....

[Doobz]

oooh, forgot one, how will the command structure work, if u saw any?

[Hamma]

lol Gooey, btw for those of you who dont know Smedly is the President of Sony Online

1. what can u say about the physics? - they were fairly realistic, they certainly were not cartoonish.
2. how was the flight model? - if i was to compare it to anything id say its similar to t2, but its certainly not the same.

Shibby, TR powah!

[Hamma]

We didnt experience much of the command structure other than squads. Some of it isnt in yet, or wasnt used.

[Doobz]

can u invert? or do any other acrobatic maneuvers?
and hows the skeeter for assaults since everybody wants to know?
how was the damage model as well? 30 shots to down somebody? 10? 5? (approximately in the torso if there location based damage)

[Doobz]

when i say cartoonish physics, i hold the t2 physics as cartoonish.
so does it 'feel' like t2 in that respect?

[�io]

Doobz the Dev's already said they were going for an arcade feeling, easy to use vehicles. In other words no flight simulation here.

[Doobz]

i know that, but i want at least some grounding in realism, so tactics actually work, and it doesnt turn into a bouncing quakefest, and u cant jump 15 feet in the air like in t2

[Hamma]

can u invert? - not that i could tell, course it may be changed in the beta.

and hows the skeeter for assaults since everybody wants to know? - it was fairly effective for strafing light targets but if you started trying to take on a max or somthing you are in trouble

how was the damage model as well? 30 shots to down somebody? 10? 5? - depends on the armor your in. MAX have a ton of HP, light armors have less

[Doobz]

ooh, yeah, how fast are the projectiles, like of rifles and bolt drivers?

t2 was like throwing baseballs at ppl, u had to lead them by a freaking mile if u wanted to hit them

[Hamma]

I dont want to compare it to any game because its in its own catagory..

[Hamma]

I didnt snipe at all.. of course you have to lead the target a bit

[Doobz]

i seem to be getting the impression that this is a giant, slightly more realistic T2, guess im way off
