I agree that removing small groups of players from the main battles is a bit of a crap idea.

We want more people in the main battles not less.

Why dilute the game. There are plenty of small squad games available already. PS is unique in its potential for the huge battles.

I just wish that the servers could handle more people and that the pop locks were raised so more spectacular battles could happen.

I REALLY WANT: true day and night cycles

Hehe, haven't we been promised this before? Urban style combat anyone?

I wonder if the tournament style gameplay is really sanctuary upgrades?

Any game that is online and FPS will be compared to Counter-Strike so don't worry, unless the bolt driver gets renamed to the Artic Warfare Magnum then we have nothing to fear

i agree, agree, agree, and REALLY agree.. it'd be sweet to have night fights with NVG's and what not.. nifty cool beans homedawg.

Small battle fields, nah thats a no go.

I mean it be kool, but if they let you to every weapon there is or keep you with your battle arrangements but you still can gain br, the war has already won.

Right, mainly because most of that is early concept stuff. You guys know about most of the "already in development" items. The CGW article covers forward looking plans, but not the current items being implemented (since that has already been discussed publicly).

Free stuff for core combat owners or to everyone?? Not to be greedy but i paid for it and have been to caverns 3 times since i oppend the box. I have used the laze pointer more than the other CC guns. I wonder if its going to be given to all people or just the CC owners.

Thanks for the clarification Spork

sounds good. quite frankly I support almost anything you guys add to the game, as long as it makes it better and doesnt reallly remove any other key elements.

day/night cycles would be nice, if theres a way to make infiltrators remain the same visiblity (which seems to be the only problem with this idea) maybe they can kind of light up a little, like a faint glow, when outside and moving. another possible problem is that the TR have darker colors, which may give them an edge in night battles. but Im sure thats fixable too.

Anything that takes players away from the global war *without* affecting it is a bad idea, imo.

Slev1822 · 2004-04-28, 09:43 PM

I read the article as well and I love everything that is said in it with the exception of the smaller map, fastpaced action/ CS style gameplay... Thats boo material and I would hope it doesn't go through for this game is much more enjoyable in large scale battles as planed during that week.

WritheNC · 2004-04-28, 09:55 PM

I think smaller maps with faster paced gameplay could be the Orbital Platforms. They can't be really huge of course, and somehow I'm sure they will accomodate it so that it does affect your empire if you win(Perhaps the winning empire will have their CR abilities reset, and the wait time on your empire's OS countdown timer chopped in half).

I'm not sure if I like the new stats idea, just another stat that killwhores will somehow find how to skew to get themselves on the leaderboard...

...not that I know anything about trying to be a killwhore.

That's basically

It would fuxxing suck if half of the PS players decided to just duel rather than play the actual game.

JetRaiden · 2004-04-28, 10:09 PM

guys we still hardly know whats happening with that. lets just see how it goes.

Gunslanger · 2004-04-29, 03:53 AM

Good Job, Hamma on getting a quick, official word from Spork.
