His health, armor, damage and RoF all could have been turned up to showcase the combat. Higby did not want the demo to be him respawning over and over.

In short, very few game mechanics were in the demo. Limitations on acquiring vehicles certainly were not.

No, I realize that, it's just that I don't remember them saying vehicles will actually take resources to pull. And there wasn't any indication in their most recent build that that'll be the case. I think the only limitation on vehicles is having the cert to drive them, and their timer.

On the other hand, there are four separate types of resources, so who knows, maybe there is a cost for vehicles and it just hasn't been incorporated on the economy being a fairly minor area of the game early on.

All I've heard is vehicles with upgrades/sidegrades will cost resources. I don't recall base vehicles costing anything but time.

Ayup...you want a second gunner on your Tank? It's gonna cost ya.

Base model is free though.

Actually is pretty hard.

For one you have to avoid getting blown up while rushing to the enemy.....depending on how strong aircraft or vehicles are...You might die pretty quick.

So doing the right maneuvers to not die then finding a good target(not one troop) to do crash with is actually really difficult and is not brainless.

Popular with untrained masses?..huh I rarely see suicide bombers in games...or in real life....most people use guns.



Pushing a mouse button to shoot is brainless to me......................
