You sir, are a saint, thanks for taking the time and patience into SS'ing all of this!

Liberator: Verticle Speed?

Come on now.

On the aircraft certifications, you might want to look into the word usage. Don't want to call you guys out, but I would like to save some embarrassment.

thanks neuro!

very nice shots with lots of new bits of info!

hey the medic will get biological warfare? the virus cert sounds like the team fortress classic medic!

but the best bit of info i found was the cert for the spitfire turret!

please matt, confirm that this is the return of the real spitfire turret and not just something very different that got the old name!

and i know what the crew efficiency cert is for!
remember, this were only vanu certs. certing in crew efficiency enables the vanu to take new conglomerate gunners with them. this multiplies the crews efficiency by about 5000%

damn doublepost.

is psu going down again? it´s slowing down and i get connection errors all the time.

Neuro, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I was hoping an industrious, academic gamer would do! Thank you SO much; I've been dying for a glimpse of the explosives available to the Engineer (and OBVIOUSLY there will be more available even at beta, let alone launch!). I'm pleased to see that the Engineer, even at this basic level of development, gets the entire foundation of explosives (anti-personnel, anti-armor, remote-detonated). I'm not at all interested in grenades; bring on the BOMBS, baby! It can only get cooler from here!

Thanks again!

My guess is crew efficiency is just a fancy title for how fast things like turrets and libs main cannon reloads.

kaffis · 2012-06-09, 11:05 AM

Ugh. I'm hoping Spitfire means something different than "dozens of automated turrets" in PS2.

Daimond · 2012-06-09, 11:56 AM

Would be nice to know the sniper tree on the Infiltrator though

Hamma · 2012-06-09, 12:05 PM

Great job on these!!

Aunt Jemima · 2012-06-09, 12:11 PM

Most of this looks pretty cool, but surely I'm not the only one who's annoyed that infil won't get boomers/C4? It seems like we got pidgeon-holed into a semi-sniper role and had the most fun toy(s) taken away. Claymores are alright, but I want my boomers!

Higby actually said in the PC Gamer article that Infiltrators get C4. This alpha build that was played is not even REMOTELY complete in terms of the amount of weapons and gear that will be available to each class. Remember, we haven't even SEEN shotguns or SMGs yet. There is a ton of stuff yet to be implemented :-)

Thanks, I had forgotten about that!
Hopefully beta starts before I explode from anticipation!

Robotix · 2012-06-09, 09:03 PM

During the TB/Higby dual-commentary, they at one point showed some cloaking device certs for the Infiltrator that you don't have listed here.

At 1:23 here:
Cool to see some of the Engi certs finally (Sticky grenades <3). Now I want to know what a Charger Grenade does, though.

IMMentat · 2012-06-09, 12:34 PM

Thanks Neurotoxin.
Lots of nice info in those pics.

Vehicles
Quick seat-swap.
Quick Exit.
Hopefuly this means a sensible bail-out and seat-swap translation time.

Classes
SPITFIRE!!!
Engineer ammo stations seem likley.
Only 1 shield generator, porta-cover mentioned, i'm a bit diappointed (was hoping for crouching/sandbag style cover, bubble shield, protective wall).
Repair tool deconstructor? Interesting.
Charger grenades? Engineer, the class with the most damage focussed grenade options!

LANCER!!!
Looks like HA will get plasma grenades.
HA Personal Shield looks like it will get sidegrades versus certain wepon types/situations.

Overheal for medics (Aegis Barrier under nano-healing)?
Seem similar to the global agenda medic, support and de-buff utility.

LA grenades are support/de-buff style which I approve of.
3 jump-jet types, nice confirmation.

Inf, Explosive Ordinance Disposal HUD? Potential.
IFF Device? deployable radar? Or green minimap dots/shapes turn into red?
EMP Spiker? Curious.
Scrambler (anti-radar?), interesting.

MAX class clearly a work-in progress. Already fab looking in-game tho.
