give all the vehicles alpha- numeric discriptors and let the players tag them with names

I’ll also play whatever side needs me more. This isn’t like Horde and Alliance in World of Warcraft where you’re kinda bound to playing one faction.

Although the Strogg and GDF have their differences, I’m sure players will be able to kick ass with both, once they get used to them.

Well I meant the side you would choose when conditions are equal for both sides.

I think that’ll depend on the map and your preference for attacking/defending.

(Alumion) #28

I’m sure I’ll have a preference towards the GDF.
unless I like the strogg better

And I have to agree that the Hornet was better. Why did you decided to change it? No hornets on Stroggos? :slight_smile:

btw here is a pic of the Tormentors , Dima

I like attacking as cannon fodd… äh engineer.
So hopefully the maps are arranged in campaigns so that always one side is attacking and the other defending.

I usually join the team that seems to have the dis-advantage at the moment, so the others have more to gnaw on and the Action stays interesting.
If its one thing i hate its people joining Teams blindly or even worse the one that seems to be winning ( given there is no auto-balance in place of course ).

Comebacks can be a very satisfying experience, much more rewarding than going to the “winning” team just to get a cheap victory.

But if things really look “balanced”, i’d just go for the team of which i like the character or equipment / abilities better, or just hit “auto assign” :).

ill prefer the strogg at the beginning, coz i know that most bf players will play the gdf and id love it to > em^^

(Desoxy) #32

Well, just judging from the looks I prefer Strogg, just because I have a weakness for anything extra-terrestrial… :smiley:

Ingame it’ll be the team with the disadvantage or ‘Auto-Assign’.
I agree with rebb, comebacks are much more satisfying than joining a set match… :wink:

Strogg because they are so stroggy and have laz0rz!

(kamikazee) #34

Tapirs, because they’re fuzzy. And evil, from time to time.

Strogg flyer should be kept as Hornet as the quake wars and quake 4 strogg flyers with the same name look the same just colored differently.

Goliath, or Cyclops now, is something new and can have an original name, hopefully not goliath becuase it reminds me of the starcraft ones.

Hornet sounds cool because the machine looks like a giant hornet coming in for the kill.

Cyclops is a great idea, like bongoboy said, because goliath and cyclops are both giant like in the bible, or greek myth, or whereever it came from.

Well I hope the final name for the strogg flyer is kept as Hornet. Seeing the vehicle looks like an insect.

Hornets are the most scary sounding of the Bee/Wasp/Yellowjacket/Hornet insects.

Also the walker can be named anything, except that Blizzard might sue you guys for naming a walker Goliath, and Cyclops kinda sounds dumb.
