Also, Esamir, Amerish and Indar and three very distinct climates, so I think there will be a good amount of variety.

0:47 Jesus, look how many shots that TR Heavy Assault takes

1:03 Experience boosters confirmed as a cash shop item.

2:30 Able to stick C4 on players? Cloakers also get C4, I think this was already known though. And please call them "Boomers" not "C4" SOE

Higby had said that the heavy assault isn't balanced right atm.

and good interview......

Good interview, using it to sooth some of my boys who are concerned about pay to win.

Aha! an intercontinental colleague! up high my brother

Higby if I could interview half as well as you I would be quids in for my interview next week

This game is really shaping up to be fantastic, pretty much every single concern of mine has been alleviated by the devs, only thing I have left to worry about is vehicle jacking!

Can't wait for beta, though I don't mind if they aim for after finals, my willpower to revise will never be strong enough if beta is on!

Havent you seen "lie to me"? Touching your face means you're lying! I think..

All I could think about during the interview was "Wow it's pretty rare to see an interview about a new game take place outdoors"

Yeah and it was with a sunset and quite serious - quite poetic really.

The interview has a kind of movie promotion polish to it i like it.

And speaking as some one that spent years training groups of people i didn't initially know i can say that speaking about something you are passionate about to groups of people that don't know anything about it is nerve racking as you want them to be as passionate as you. This will be when you repeat words a lot or develop ticks and its half the job to identify and keep on top of them whilst you make a presentation or respond to questions. My pet peeves having observed somes less than good people are the words OK and Basically.

All the time trying not to incur the wrath of the PR people, i think higby interviews really really well.

Most people would be up all night with nerves and be really withdrawn having to speak publicly or be quizzed all day

Actually Lie to Me a lot of that is true, but subjective its not black and white. Touching your face doesn't mean you're lying it means you're nervous which is normal for someone who isn't used to being in front of a camera.

It was itchy because you were going to invite us to beta next week

Actors who put on Oscar winning performances cringe at themselves on screen. That interview was badass, loads of information in a tightly packed neat video.

I love to speak publicly, but I would hate to have to watch a film of me doing it.

Body language wise it sends the message that you are anxious/nervous and uncertain. While touching your nose or lips can indicate that you are not being honest, but I didn't see you do that so you are good to go.

The interview had mostly info that was already said the previous ones. I do notice Highby saying there are no other games like that but I find WWII online, even though graphics wise not the highest standard, to have the same mechanics and ideas. They have classes, you fight for towns/bases and you have tanks/airplanes/infantry and ships fighting at the same time.

But alas it is not F2P so it is in a different segment. And Higby probably blinks a lot because he is outside
