More vehicles?

Hi!

I couldnt find an answer to my question. Will there be more vehicles at release other than those known as of now?

I think APCs like the BTR or the Bradley would be awesome. And some armored jeeps? Maybe more tanks? Or big tanks operated by 5 ppl?

Nope.

They've mentioned buggies might be added after launch. We've also seen concept art of a Deliverer-type vehicle. Basically, it's an MMO so they will be adding things for a long time.

So none of those cool "mechwarriors" I've seen on ps1 streams?

Probably. They have indicated they intend to add more stuff in over time. This is just the initial release with "necessary" gameplay stuff in it.

The only Bradley-like vehicle right now is the lightning tank, although it is only manned by one person. As for APC's, there is the sunderer which is basically a HUGE armored jeep thing that can carry around 12 people. There are also ATV's that can fit one or maybe two people on them.

BFR's is what I think he is trying to say. But not at launch.

BFRs. So unbalanced at launch, they were considering largely responsible for the death of Planetside subscriptions. Most Vets are passionate about them not coming back for the second round.

BattleFrame Robotics - that's what i meant ( "Mechwarrior" is a fitting description in my opinion - sry I didn't know the exact term... )

Well that's sad to hear - I like them from an esthetically point of view.

Hopefully not ever.

I remember the first time I saw a BFR, it was one of the Vanu ones (you know, vaguely humanoid) but whichever version it is that has that big... eye-stalk... thing... coming out of its head.

I stood there for a good ten or fifteen seconds just thinking "What. The... HELL...???"

Buggies are confirmed for post launch, hopefully in one of the first big game updates.

That was one of the problems with the BFRs. The concept was pretty cool, but when they actually got into the game, they just ruined it. They were soooo overpowered that they just completely dominated. So, there is a bit of a bad taste in Planetside players' mouths. BFR is a 4-letter word in the Planetside community.

Not withstanding the fact it's only three letters. And don't even START on that with us, we'll really give you what for!
