The Devs are amazingly generous to give us these theme-weeks twice a month, and I encourage everyone to show our Devs as much respect and gratitude as possible by remaining true to the topic. To the best of my knowledge, this week's topic is "Nanite Systems" or "Common Pool."

I just collect those questions that make sense to ask. Asking is done by hamma, and he usually only ask those that fit the theme, and a few important extras.

1) Lean????? will we see it in ps2?

2)i read about and saw the new strafe speed in the trailers and it has been slowed down quite a bit. if not lean,then how will players transition from firing to cover? since strafe has been slowed down.

Sounds like a plan :-) We are so grateful for all the work you do on the site, Basti, especially in conjunction with these Q&A's. And you too, Hamma!

If your question makes basti's list try not to ask it yourself.. because I may ask it twice and that looks silly

To hard to watch what everyone else is asking.

I collect them, Hamma asks them via the PSU twitter acc.

Reason for this is rather simple: If two of those you do follow talk with each other, the chat appears on your feed. If you dont follow any of those two, none of the tweets appear.

How many months do you need to collect all the answers? xD

The fuck?? No holstering??? HHHNNNNGGGGGHHH

I'm assuming we still "draw" our weapons though? It was an important delay imo, similar to how it took a while to get into a vehicle instead of popping immediately in to it.

yea this just means you just wont see the weapons on somebody's back or hip, only if they're drawn.

It is in a way weird how modern games these days sorta lack half of the features PS had back in 2003. The vehicle entry/exit animations and holstering comes to mind.

Higby said in one of the comments that holstering weapons on the back was attempted but dropped because it cost 25% of the amount of people depicted on screen.

Shame. Was already wondering with those first trailers what I was missing as the characters looked a bit empty and their visual weight shifted more forward somehow, didn't quite realise then it was the lack of holstered weapons that made that visual change.

I wonder if - though animations are missing - entry points will be very local still (so you can predict where someone exits), or more like BF and some other games where you just have to touch the vehicle.
