With all these different threads about armor going around, it made me remember CGM's article from months back. Here is a quote from the article that really worried me when I first read it, and worries me again reading it over a second time:
They also plan to streamline the armor and weapon loadouts. Johnston says they're moving away from some of the game's arbitrary restrictions. "For example, each armor has one weapon that only it can use. That's the only big restriction that we have." Although armors will still be devided into light, medium, and heavy suits, the categories will be more differentiated than before. The new light is like no armor at all, the new medium is like the light used to be, and the new heavy is alot heavier.
It didn't help that this was published just as PlanetSide was released, or that I beta tested PS for two months. That aside, reading it over again still scares me a bit. One thing both tribes games kept the same is the ratio's between the armors. To me that is one very core aspect of tribes. Changing that (especially in the way mentioned after playing PS) makes me very wary. I can't make any judgements till beta, but I still don't like it.
Thoughts?
