Conference Thoughts/Comments.

Insufficient evidence?Sorry. My mistake.

Validuz + fuzzy interweb video > people who have played the game.

I'll try to give you your due respect from now on.


:ftardkill

Thrax when you gonna be doing some focus testing near my hizouse? :(

OMFG OMFG OMFG, THE GAME IS FUCKING RUINED!!! FUCKIGN IRRATIONAL HAS SCREWEED US OVERR!!!!!!!! THERES NO TURNING BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well , now that you put it that way, it's easy to see the logic in your comments. You were on the Harvard Debate team, weren't you?

From what you're saying here and what you said about most players only needing the little radar on the HUD, I take that to mean that the maps will be quite a bit smaller.

Care to elaborate?Yes. You're jumping to conclusions. Please don't read things into my comments that are not there. If I want to tell you something I'll say it, not paint a vague foggy picture for people to guess at.

Will the HUD be similar to T2 with the icons and such for flagcappers and bases and such? I kind of liked that system, and I think the local radar with that system would work nicely.

Huh?? All you've done is paint a vague foggy picture for people to guess at, so, uh, that's what I'm doing.

Unless saying the CC will be 'trimmed' isn't vague. Somehow.

Right mouse: Forward
S: back
Z: strafe left
X: strafe right
D: jump
W: jet
alt: full power gren
G: regular gren
space: Full power mine
E: regular mine
Shift: zoom
caps: pack
tab: map
B: beacon
:O
Do you have 12 fingers on your left hand or something?
That is the most bizzare config ever.
I salute you sir!

'trimmed' doesn't mean 'cut.'
my guess is, the CC will be there, but they will simplify it as much as possible..

I listened to the 25 minute interview from IGN, and they said that the CC WILL be there, it will just be more simplified. I'll get a directt quote in a second.

IGN dude = "I was just curious about wether your going to have a map in there at all, that people can look at or..."
Ed = "The command map will survive."
KP = "Yeah, we might of miscommunicated that."
Ed = "There is still a command map, it's not going to be insane. The functionality of it versus to the Tribes 2 one which has gone insane. It's going to be fairly simple compared to that. But it is still definately useful for an overview of the map in multiplayer and we use it in the single player."
KP = Basically a larger version of the radar.

WHERE IS THE 25 minutes video interview

link please

It's IGN Insider only I think. :\

can you message me on aim.....poisonspider35

I watched it.

It said CC is there, turres/sensors are there, but are't purchased, they spawn in the world. They occupy weapon slots when you pick them up.

You can chose your spawn point.

map editor out before game

...thats about it

OK someone with IGN insider message me on aim at poisonspider35


trust me ill make it worth your while just do it

Thrax has since clarified: turrets and sensors take up a "deployable" slot, which is like a weapons slot. Think of it as an optional slot, like targeting laser. So you can carry like 4-5 weapons and a turret. To place the turret, you hit the deployable slot button, and "fire" the turret into the ground.

I'm guessing this means that 1) you don't take mass penalties for non-energy packs, and you fly around just as well as naked. 2) Satchels, if they're in at all, will spawn and not be from inventories. These two ideas are guesses that are unfounded in evidence; I'm just predicting.

turrets/deployables spawn? so will there be a deployable pad of some kind? (like the vehicles?)

It's IGN Insider only I think. :\


17megs left, then the watching will start. :D

I just noticed this while rewatching the broadcast footage, but there appeared to be a gun that hasn't been talked about by the T:V people, or revealed yet. Its in the GUI interface, where different pictures of blood eagle are being shown. Well in one of the pictures you can clearly see a warrior holding a blockish, grey weapon that doesn't look at all like a spinfuser. It looks like a long rectange with a small piece overhanging in the front. Please tell me someone else caught that?

It must be your imagination.

Edit: Oh, you meant those BE loading screens? I saw DLs, chainguns, and mortars. They only show four loading screens, and that is all I see.
