Well unless there's a major turn around in thinking, Planetside does not have hitboxes, or specific places to hit. Rules out that possibility.

If it's vulnerable to AV weaponary but hardened against vehicle rounds, it will not be the BFRs stomping on infantry, it's more likely to be David smacking down Goliath.

It's not a hitbox, it's considered a different entitiy all together. Like previously said, we'll just have to wait and see.

Lartnev · 2004-08-30, 08:09 AM

Doesn't make much sense... but yeah it is a case of waiting and seeing.... for most of what has been said in this thread

That's what I said.

I just happened to give what other sort of firepower will probably be needed to down the field.

EDIT: Lart, he's right.

See that Badboy? That's what I think is the gen (as all three have one). Oh, and if you meant one sniper round and nothing else, then nope, Spork said "it will require small arms fire" so to me, thats anything handheld bar AV.

6 meters. VS is 7. Base gates are 10

They wont be able to fit under certain cat walks.

3 certs, not 10

One driver
or
one driver and one gunner

Only the one person model can fly.

2 hour respawn

Only can get it from a special pad (Which could possibly be in sanc)

If you hit a bfr part (or the bfr uses a weapon...I cant remember which..might be both) a "Dynamic event" has a certain percentage chance of happening.

Like, the weapon overheatting.

Or your leg blowing off.

Ok, so i doubt it accually blows off, but it could stop working.

Stop whining aboot the BFRs. They will 0wn your face. You dont know how strong or how weak they will be yet, SO SHUT UP WITH THE "NERF" CRAP.

Super_Ryu7 · 2004-08-30, 10:32 AM

I think the BFRs=Big Fucking Robot will be badass and add more "flavor" to the game and a lot more more people will be in caves so more cave battles so it is good all around and God knows trading BFRs will be fun as hell too. oh and i heard the BFR will come with you reg. tank cert (magrider, vangaurd, prowler) so i guess we have to wait and see.

I think it's its own 3 point certification.

The only thing worrying me is backstabbing to get cavern base hacks.

Batousai · 2004-08-30, 10:35 AM

Theres been alot of talk about if a BFR can make it under the catwalk at the bases well i say this:
Remember how when you get a vechicle an the game would take control of it and drive to a spot away from the vechicle term, A.K.A. "auto drive" well lets just say the devs do have some common sense and use the auto drive and fly the BFR out of the courtyard, and when it lands you can take control of it and add your co-pilot and go stomping around like a BFR should.

It makes lots of sense that the BFRS do that if theres a possiblity that they might get stuck in the cat walk at the bases. Beside it might hit the top of wall and fall over like that robot that chased after Robocop down the stairway in i think Robocop 2 or was it 1 im not sure i haven't seen that movie in so long.

MrPaul · 2004-08-30, 10:35 AM

I think the devs are making these keys "unstealable". Which is very much gonna be needed. If anyone tries to kill me for one.

Super_Ryu7 · 2004-08-30, 10:40 AM

well it would be better if they cant go in base and have to stay outside then tehy cant camp doors and own the crap out of what ever moves in the way. and i will tell you guys now cause there will be a LOT of tking lock you BFRs at all times otherwise you get jacked by one from your own team

Batousai · 2004-08-30, 10:45 AM

well they cant camp base doors but sure will camp tower doors

EDIT: Im more interested in see how the VS get into the BFR

I dont see any doors on that thing at all.

MrPaul · 2004-08-30, 10:50 AM

I can't wait to see the first idiot that jumpjets onto a Tech Plant roof in his BFR (and if it's lucky enough not to decon), gets out, locks it, and goes in to fight, thinking "hehe, no-one can get up there to jack it". And then realises they can't get to it either.
Whoopsay!
