(**Anyway, awesome footage !!)

Higby mentioned on twitter earlier today that "we're planning on doing ragdoll for sure." So we'll see how it turns out.

I mean should you be able to be revived from a tank shell to the face?

I actually agree with this 100%. If you get blown up you shouldn't be able to get revived imo. There were instances like this in PS1. Or, perhaps, to make the medic role more dynamic, make it so they have to spec into a special device that allows them to reconstruct the blown up parts of the person to be able to revive them. This process, of course, takes longer then a normal revive.

I can barely hear Higby over the orgy my eyes are having with the screen.

at 3:10 you get a nice view of a base where you can see two big doors that look like they could be raised. I'd love to have more options like this, where defenders can lock it shut and attackers work to open it

loving the scale and massive huge buildings, now thats what i call grand sense of scale. but that lag, for a game to support 1000 of players it wasnt really a good idea to showcase ps2 in a laggy state, i know its alpha but still.

That's what is so courageous in showing gameplay footage in an alpha stage. It's far from complete and subject to many, many changes. I think their move paid off, though.

It's music from the original game is it not?

Also, they added it on YouTube:

I really hope that when the game launches, the avatars sell the 'I just got shot by a tank' a bit more. The guy gets shot point blank by a shell half as big as he is, and he falls over like he just got stabbed in a Shakespearean stage play.
