News: PlanetSide 2 Empire Debrief – The Terran Republic - Page 4

Terran Republic weapons have the fastest firing rates, largest ammo capacities, and are generally designed to allow for maximum sustainable damage.

Spray and Pray? xD
Fastest Air and fastest medium tank? Doesn't sound fair (just troling, im somehow sleepy

)

What would happen if they Willy Wonka'd..

I must say... the TR Rifle looks lame.

The sanded extreme weather looks lovely.

Hovering air vehicles. This is the future and it should be easy. Throw an EMP and the pilot would have to manually correct his controls permanently until repair. How awesome would that be?

The Mosquito is an extremely agile attack aircraft, which can be outfitted with a variety of weapon systems to suit the needs of the republic, and has the fastest top speed of any air vehicle allowing it to quickly disengage from a sticky situation and regroup.

Sounds like an epic fail in game balance. I bet we will see all pro pilots now will play tr, speed = win.

Turn rate is actually more important

If it actually has the best speed AND agility... Yeah I would bitch about that

Unless the Dyson has a continuous laser. All would be forgiven if it did

The mosquito is crazy long, not quite what I was expecting. (also that's what she said)

I am still on the fence about these huge differences in empires, "Strength in numbers" for TR and who knows what else for the other empires. But at least it's keeping the tradition alive a bit.

The thought that the TR will have the fastest medium tank and air vehicle is quite surprising, an interesting extra twist. I wonder what benefits the other empires will have - I'd assume the VS would be crazy extra maneuverability in all their vehicles.

Tr need to be the most populated, the most well organised , and the most accurate aim in the game for them to be at the same theroetical level as the other 2 empires. Graywolves does have a good point.

It was a joke dude. Woosh.

My guess is that Vanu will boast accuracy, TR sustained fire damage, and NC single-volley damage with low fire rates.

That would position the Vanu well for their high agility, the NC would favor hit and fade strikes or shoot-and-cover tactics, and the TR would be all about implacably marching people down under a withering hail of fire.

That sounds pretty good, actually.

And, posed in that light, the TR top speed makes a little more sense, though I'm not exactly sure how NC would be able to do guerilla hit and fade against a faster foe.

Vehicularly, I agree that it sounds like Vanu are going to get high agility vehicles with fast strafing/reverse, as it were, and NC are likely to just toss a bunch of armor plating on since they're not outrunning or outmaneuvering anything.

Awesomesauce! everything I read about the TR just reinforces my opinion,

Can't wait to see the new version of the Prowler, the trooper shot with the mossy in the background is great.

Ze Goggles, they rule!

My favourite section

They eschew experimental ordinances and energy weapons, preferring to stick with what has worked for hundreds of years – accurate, high velocity bullets, and lots of them.

guns, Guns, GUNS!

I love sci-fi tech, but even I think that a bullet traveling at ultra-high speeds is so much cooler than some stupid energy bolt.

TacosWLove · 2011-10-26, 12:06 PM

Yeah the skeeter looks like it could almost pick up/drop off a tank right under those wings. That thing is HUGE(Yes she did, in fact say that)!

But with an intro like that, meng I wanna play TR! Being a skeeter wh0re and a tank dude really floats mah boat! Suppose we will just have to see how the other empire turn out...

I was actually referring to both you and xSlideShow, whom you quoted and agreed with. His post just sounded a bit whiny, so when you agreed with him, I figured you were being whiny by extension.

We really have had a lot worse information weeks than this and the week isn't even over. Sorry if my reaction was too much, I just don't feel the negativity was warranted in this situation.
