News: Matt Higby doing a Q&A at reddit!

uhh.. there is one thing that I totally forgot, but did anyone ask whether or not we'll get that huge number of voice macros again?

You know, V-V-B and the rest. They were awesome! Honestly, they could just re-use the same voice macros from PlanetSide.

We're definitely going to have voice macros. More than in PS1. Many will be automatic, many will be activatable.

Fantastic
Fabulous
Outstanding

The question of the hour: Can we loot enemy hand held weaponry on the fly? And if not, why? I can understand not wanting to retexture vehicles, but guns don't need new textures.

Matt, whats the chance of you inviting Jace Hall to the studios again so we can see you use the "heavy hand" and some transformers in the future?

I have a question which concerns pilots and drivers alike.

Q: Is the environment destructible in PS2? Of course not the facilities or towers but trees and other massive rocks? I'm a galaxy pilot and I can't tell you how many times where I just touch a tree branch and it manages to flip my galaxy upside down(sure it can be funny at times). Or even better, tank drivers can't even steamroll over a tiny pebble and leaves us out in the open for attacks.

But that's my 2 cents. Thanks for answering all those questions Matt, I can't wait for the end product. Peace.

Havn't got the time to scroll thru the Reddit thread, but i read vehicle enter/exit animations are being removed. Tbh the animations made it more fair so you just didnt hop in and start shooting away.

Are you guys considering headshots?


Atleast headshots that will only work on other snipers?

[Warruz]

Il toss 2 questions in.

1) What can we see in terms of artillery ?

2) What can we expect to see in deployable weaponry such as MG Nests? Mobile Artillery? and how will it be implemented if so?

You guys turn every thread he's in into a Q&A and you'll ruin it.

This is the Q&A thread. Seriously though, you can't expect players to not pester devs, especially when the 8 year sequel has just been announced.

If he's made the choice to post here I'm sure he's come to accept that he'll be barraged with questions.
