No Wraith ATV?


I was reading the Twitter Q&A with the developers (thanks transcribers!), and noticed this rather disturbing piece of news. ...

Q: Is the Phantasm going in? Or any sort of stealth vehicles. Volumetric clouds are awesome but is there stealth too?

A: No stealth vehicles currently slated for LAUNCH
Now I personally don't really care about the Phantasm, but the Wraith was integral to a lot of my Cloaker activities in PS1. With all the extra stuff they're promising for PS2 I would be mightily disappointed if they didn't also release the classic Wraith. Any other official word on this?

As much as I hate cloakers (NC AV here), I was surprised by that too. Guess you better have your thumb warmed up and a few pairs of boots ready because you'll be bumming rides and hiking....just like the dirty hippies you are.

I'm not aware of any further news. For the time being it seems that you can either be fast or invisible or fast but not both at once. I'd expect a cloak suit can drive anything, so you'll have that at least.

Plus, as far as we know sprinting will likely be unlimited, like in BFBC2 (a reasonable assumption, considering the vast distances we will have to cover). So in theory you will be able to auto-run hella fast and most of the time you will probably be starting your run from a nearby spawn point anyway.

That being said, the Wraith was a great concept and I wish it to return, even though I never played much as a cloaker (sucked at it, mostly:P).

I was a bit disappointed with that to be honest, it was a good vehicle

And nothing of value was lost. Don't think I ever saw anyone drive one.

Re: No Wraith ATV?


When I played I would drive one whenever I was a cloaker. I thought they were great for navigating the battlefield at a distance. I'm sad to see them not included at launch.

I'm sad to see the Phantasm not planned to be honest. I mean, I got along without it before they added it, but I use it every single day in PS1. Maybe they'll add it in down the line.

I did see random vehicle entrance circles and trunk circles though....

Although it's not like the Wraith(even as cloacked) was anything more than a Taxi, you might have to be a little more careful now but I don't think your gameplay will suffer much.

Hmm, I'll talk to our vehicle designers about getting a cloaking device utility attachment for the ATV that works if the rider is an infiltrator.

Wraith is pretty important to me as a cloaker because of the trunk space. That's pretty huge when you don't have an easy access term to hack.

Allows you to stay out in the field a lot longer between resupplies.
