Snipers can one shot, Balistics, wind, breathing, Range all factors. Snipers not full cloak.
Bases are capture an hold over time - driving out the enemy from a section of the base. No hacking mentioned.

They CAN, is it a 100% chance to one shot with every shot? No.

Headshot? I'm pretty sure that's been confirmed.

Since there is no inventory system, will we beable to resupply off dead enemies? Since i liked in MW3 if i was going awesome i would have to steal an enemies weapon so i could continue, same for BF3, but from what i can tell we can only get new ammo from a light assault ammo box. Or can we grab dead enemies guns or if we are the same class do we get ammo from them or no apparent reason?

yes you can headshot but it is not a one shot kill. the devs know that no one likes one shot snipers besides the guys playing them. it taakes real skill to hit someone twice to bring them down.

ya, i mean come on, have you ever been shot in the head? i bet you would just dust yourself off and run behind somthing.

i wish i could one shot headshot, but i understand the reasons why we cant, and i accept them. :/

Dont forget everyone is wearing a helmet! and you can always pick off the ones that are damaged, a simple way to find them is to find a medic!

Umm... helmets arn't made for stopping bullets... they were there mostly for shrapnel and grazing shots, if i shot you directly in the head with my gun, it will either go through and kill you, or the force of the bullet hitting you will break your neck. So unless you have a really thick bullet proof helmet that absorbs 90% of the impact force, then a helmet is only useful against shrapnel.

any chance on a separate thread/link for all the interviews?

I wonder, if i get an EMP and use it. Do i kill everyone because we are all made of nanites and so we would die? Or is only our equipment and armor nanites? Because i wouldn't want to see naked soldiers running around everywhere, it would be funny though.

i think the naites make the items. everything is not made up of nanites like in sifi movies and shows. so after the nanites make the item they stay at the tube or V-pad.

Also T-ray just tweeted this about sniping. -I believe that would be one to take the shield down and 1 to kill

sry i dont know how to properly link twitter.

Not sure if this has been posted but T-Ray confirmed that headlights can be turned off. Niiight fighting!

I am just excited for an epic battle again!

Serpent · 2012-05-23, 10:18 PM

Imagine ATVs cloaking with headlights off, rushing in while Tanks and MAXs rush in to the front door

Lol I'm stopping now before I get carried away.
