i have a question on the remote spawning of the rover....

in previous Tribes you randomly spawn somewhere at your base... i assume this works the same in T:V

but when they bring out a Rover, what the hell happens?

does everyone start respawning there? that would suck. not everyone wants to spawn out there, especially if they are HO (then they need to go back to base to change anyway)

is it just an added spawnpoint to the randomness? that doesn't seem too useful and would still piss off the HO, HOF or anyone else when they get spawned there.


and then of course there is the potential for abuse.

The Rover is an ATV, but currently it won't go over really big hills.

Not much difference between 12 man d and 16 man d heh. I still would like to see vehicle spawn points moved away from the flag.

Okay, still too early.

Back to the rocket pod. Do you need to be at a standstill to fire? Can you be moving? If so, is there a limit to how fast you can go, or even if you can move at all, and still guide the rockets?

If you have your entire team dedicated to D, you're going to lose no matter what you do. And this is not a "VEHICLE SPAWN POINT". It is a spawn point ON A VEHICLE. There is a difference.

Doaln: My guess is there may be a spawning interface like BF 1942 had, IE you choose where you spawn and then you spawn randomly somewhere in that area. Marweas is free to correct, though. :P

There is a huge difference. Going from 10 players to 8 players made a pretty big difference in Tribes for a certain tournament.

Also, spread on the rockets is a funny thing. Will they continue to spread the farther they go? Will they leave the weapon at full spread?

I can see numerous newbs shooting at their own flag as cappers come in.... They should have a minimum distance to being 'armed' to make this difficult...

Rocket Pod question: Will there be a limited "window of opportunity" to take over it's flight pattern and manually guide it?

Scenario: Fire ... run behind wall/into base to get protection ... click to manually control it ...

That scenario seems a tad off-balance to me.

Remote spawning is good because it will stop spawn killing which is gay..not to mention skill less.

Agreed.

As far as the rover goes, I agree with triple that it should be a lot like the Warthog from HALO. Maybe add a grenade launcher...

And if the rocket pod is guided... well **** you. Why not just make it so it is a rocket launcher that isn't guided? Like a Quake style rocket launcher that can only be fired in medium or heavy armor. Make it one rocket, heavier damage, but tough to hit anything other than a base or vehicle.

Remote spawn is gonna end up like using the T2 MPB for offense... a novelty used in newbie pubs. Nobody in their right mind is gonna drive down a very destroyable vehicle to the other side of the field. Besides, having a rover with remote spawn implies some spawn selection capability, which also ****ing suck. Rover looks damn nice, but remote spawn is dumb. Now, if it were a fast attack vehicle with, let's say, inventory capability and some nice weapons on it... it might be useful.

The rest rocked.

It is similar you twit. A rocket is a rocket is a rocket. The T2 rocket was f'ing lame, and if you don't agree you're an idiot and need to ctrl-k. Its only purpose was to take down the overpowered vehicles and cappers.

And how the hell do you control these things via mouselook? You stand there like a sitting duck while you aim? Sounds like fun.
