    I knew it looked familiar!

    Tribes is full of cartoony bullshit. This looks a hell of a lot grittier.

    At least it's not yet another WW2 game.

    Here's what I'm hoping for:
    I want it to be part mechwarrior at heart.

    I want to be able to customize a combat mech and use it on the field in a highly populated server against other customized mechs and/or power armor suits. Considering how customizable BF can be, it seems somewhat reasonable that it could be done. Simply use it as a spawn-based thing. Set your preferences in a central interface, and either hotkey or make it a part of the menu, like player class selection. If you enter a mech on a launching pad, machines nearby would slap guns of your choice on and you could walk into combat. If you get a mech in the field, you get someone else's preferences.

    But that's only my dream. :p

    I'd settle for no personal energy weapons. I hate that shit.

    looks cool I probably wonùt have fast enough machine for another year.

    *pats new machine*

    Hopefully this game will feel fresh. Most new FPS' are good for a while, but really just don't catch my interest for long ... Then again, I guess it's all about perspective. I dunno, I've played lots of games... But only own about ten over a period of seven years. I have such fond memories of some games, it's hard to find that magic again in the new stuff, at least - From my perspective.
  • i got mixed feelings about it.

    i'm glad the trend is going away from modern combat US vs Iraq vs RandomEnemyState setting to something else (and similarly glad it's not a ww2 one :rolleyes: )

    i don't think it will be overly customisable, like sanfam said about different loadouts - simply because it's EA and they are always struggling with just the basic gameplay features (as in: getting the game to actually run and trying to get the bug list to be 1 entry shorter than the features list)

    ah well.. it will have to compete with ut2k7, ET: Quake Wars and to some degree with Huxley (still not sure how many vehicles that one will feature). we'll see...

    I love the idea of having futuristic urban combat (though, I'm sure there will be other maps). The cloaked soldier looks neat too!

    I was kinda hoping it would go the other direction in time though I was really looking forward to Battlefield 1865 where you reenact the great battles of the Civil War from a first person perspective...

  • And I hope you all know, Mine 2 has been published :cool:

    yeah but noone would love to play a game where it takes a minute to reload after a single shot :D

    but it's nice to see someone finally leeching off from planetside with the cloakers and the bfrs/mechs, maybe it will be another point where sony will go "wait a second.." (doubtful)
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    There is a revolutionary war mod for the first halflife. Its actually quite fun as the bullets are inacurate as all hell.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Well, there *are* somne fantastic revolutionary and civil war mods for BF1942. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Battlefield 1812, as well as Battlefield: 1776 (later renamed Battlefield: Colonies, I think)

    Of course, the best mod is still Battlefield: Pirates

    Nothing beats it for sheer rediculous fun.

    I wonder if the "medic" in that game would have a hacksaw to amputate the shattered limbs of his teammates. :D

    If you REALLY want to ge technical, some soldiers carried breach-loading (Springfield) and even repeating (Spencer and Henry) rifles into battle (Although the former was rare, and the latter even rarer still).

    I might have to look into this Battlefield 1942 Civil War mod... :)
