Basti not sure why, that when you listed peoples questions in front alot of them dont resemble what they were asking, other then skipping over some all together.
Sure shortinging some up is fine but... like on my post you only put up 1 of my questions and for the life of me other then it being the flavor of the month you even bothered changing the Gun from a Guass to a Pulsar. If you did ajust/shorted the other 2 quetions then dont even remotly resemble the original question at all. like a few others as it appears.

You wrote a rather long text about a very basic question. And the idea is not to have them read through wall of texts, the idea is to have them quickly skim over it and then have a long answer.

I have about an hour left before the cast starts. I just add the new ones now, and try to combine questions.

Just as random text to be added to this post: The entire idea of these threads (for both twitter and the webcasts, as well as GDC) is to have us all think about questions in advance, together. This way you get a lot more questions, especially a lot more good ones, and also you dont end up with having all your questions asked by someone else, or parts of them. Its quite common that someone ask a part of your question, and then the bit left thats important to you doesnt get answered, as it seems to be the same question as before. This is fully avoided here.

Well then, list again!

LOL that's just what I need, to have the neighbors call the cops on me because of PS2...!

I hope I'm not too late to the question party, but I have a couple that haven't been asked yet...

How potent is the Damage Degradation on VS weapons? Roughly when does it start and how steep does it degrade?
Since the Beamer has "self-charging" cells, does this mean it will never run out of ammo?
Are the VS going to get "unified ammo" like in PS1 (aka "proprietary battery ammo" mentioned from the Pulsar pic)?
What kind of "versatility" traits/advantages are VS weapons going to get?
Can we pick up ammo off of fallen corpses? what kind of "Drops" will there be?
With the removal of AP ammo, is MAX armour being treated more like extra-heavy infantry armour now instead of the infantry/Vehicle bybrid it was in PS1?
How accurate are weapons going to be when not using ironsights?
Are at least some weapons being designed so that run-and-gun is a viable alternative playstyle to ironsights (hint: HA)?
What are roughly the effective and maximum ranges of the various weapon types (SMG's, Carbine, AR's, etc)?

SWAT team 1 stacked up on the door; team lead signaled ready, and the last man approached the door to check for traps...

"DIE F^(%@&!"

The team instinctively dove to the ground, as the sound of automatic fire resonated from the room. When no bullets passed by, the team carefully got back up. Fearing for who ever was the target of the barrage, they breached the door.

"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!"

No amount of training could of prepared them for what they saw...

Hokay, thats it. Webcast starts in 40 minutes, need to give those guys time to read our questions, choose what they cover, and print them out.

Short note:
My question (the 2nd one) will most likely remain unaswered in its full so just shorten it to what you think is reasonable.

Fine heres a slightly dumbed down version

2 - If you have a fuly upgraded Guass, then pick up a an enemies counter part "pulsar" do you have a fully upgraded pulsar or not? if posable?

3 - are there weapons that classes can use but dont get access to first but have to lvl up to gain access?

1 - Answer: NO weapon looting. It's a bitch but there you go.

2 - Clarified: do you need to level up to access weapons?
