This is a bad idea. This would generalize the use of vehicles too much. One of the goals of planetside is to use a diverse sum of equipment to reach victory. If one kind of vehicle reigned suprme on one kind of continent, then it would totally kill the goal of diversity = victory

I think it would be an excellent add-on. Obviously they would have to be balanced out, something like the basilisk, great handling and speed but armor and/or firepower would be lacking.

That or the common pool vehicles would have slight modifications depending on the environnement.

I think varied body armor depending on the climate would be neat, but that's not gonna happen.

Either way, some vehicles are more suited to different terrains. Very rugged terrain is difficult to cross on land, making air travel a much more viable solution. Likewise, relatively flat but densely forested/jungled terrain would reduce the effectiveness of air vehicles. And so on and so forth.

Yes, interesting idea. If you take one vehcile, like a buggy/quad. and then when you move to different terrain types, it is automatically modified to be more effective for that terrain. Like better grip on ice, higher armor in open areas, etc...

spike you just said that becouse you dont like me

and what you said isnt true. a way to balance this out would be,for the snowmobile you could give it a lack of armor and fire power so you could have a vehicle thats fast, great great handling and little fire power makeing it a so so choice out of the already huge vehicle list

and these vehicles wer only for certain continents so like someone said snowmobilin through the jungle couldnt happan

srry for my poor grammar

If this was true, then they would have to add boats to continents that are half land and half water.....which I would be fine with!

what they should do, is just like say a snow continent, take like the wraith or something, and take away the wheels , and add ski things and jet propulsion onto it, and make a few little changes, and make it so u cant have the original wraith on that continent, so it would be like a modified wraith. See? wouldnt that be kewl? or just make the vehicles change a bit on diff terrains, or something, not like transformers, but just like wheels go up, skis go down, and out come little jets, and thats it,

The 3d ones somewhere between 97-00...witht he animal transformers......today they're all stupid.....friggin cars i tell ya!!

just make the vehicles change a bit on diff terrains
that would work. But then again the half water coninent....obviously the quads would become like jetskiis, but then how about a buggie? what changes would happen...... (this water thin doesn't count for the ground-to-water vehicles such as vanu vehicles).

I wonder what a volcanic terrain vehicle would look like. :/
lava camo all over it......and big wheels.
