LOL. I have the silencer attached and it makes a PEW PEW PEW sound.

I will miss:
- Vehicle entry/exit animations.
- The entire Empire in a massive drop pod rain. (Though happened only twice)
- The Deliverer / Sound of the Deliverer guns. (Though Deliverer got useless 6 years ago).
- Lightning having 2 weapons instead of 1.

I will not miss:
- Lightning being a paper tank.
- AMP station defense, which was camping the door.
- Orbital Strike spam.
- BFR's. Should have been 4 person land tanks.
- 3rd person looking around the corner.
- Monthly payments.

Looking forward to:
- Medics getting a suit.

Slightly worried about:
- Maps being instance instead of one connected world.
- No Galaxy drops seen in PS2 video's.
- Ugly shield on infantry.

No instances. This has been established.
Yes there were. I can't remember if it was TB's E3 footage or something else but there were gal drops occurring (though, the animation was broken and people were just teleporting from the gal to the ground)
It is... rather obvious, but that is the trade off for having the shield

Let me re-phrase that: no global meta game unlike PS1.
For example losing Oshur meant no vehicle repair on Cyssor.
In PS2 each map a self-contained world.

I will miss:
- Vehicle Enter/Exit Animations
- Sunderer Horn
- Cloakers reviving me
- Buggies/Thresher
- Max w/ Jump Jets
- Doors open/close

Yes, doors that open and shut really was good to defend against vehicle fire, and could really cut down on the spamming vehicle shots coming in. Also, it made it easier to tell if cloakers were coming in or out of a base/tower. I know, cloakers will be easier to pick out than before, I just think it will force a change in tactics, that's about it.

This is probably what I will miss the least :P

Me too.

I think they'll need to bring them back eventually, though.

I will miss entrance/exit animations and I will (for now) miss the number of continents we had.

Things I will not miss: Bad net code!
Orbital strike spam
Inventory space.

I agree that it won't be the same without those animations, but from a gameplay standpoint, it's probably better if you don't have to wait 5 secs before being able to drive the vehicle.

Likewise, it won't be the same without the vehicle bay animations, but it will be nice knowing that you're safe from the d*****bag with a Skyguard who blows your plane out of the sky before you are even allowed to gain control over it. I am more than okay without that.

As for your second point, I agree completely.

I will certainly miss my wife and children as well as most other human contact. I will also miss seeing the sun. Mostly I'll miss the jumpjets on my max but my kids come in a close second.

Sadly, not only will these be making a comeback, but they will be even more prevalent than in PS1. If you can imagine that.

I dont know about that, from what they have told us (and they havent told us alot) It seems like OS will be harder to get those huge super kills because the bigger the strike the more resources it will take. It would seem counter productive if you saved all that up to get a huge strike with a huge CD timer only to miss.

We will see how it goes, but my money is on them being more common than in PS1.
