Hey Wils, if you’re willing to answer a question that I’ve been curious about for a while… Can GDF soldiers still deploy their heavy weapons for others?

(Wils) #22

Strogg undies: dear god no
Prone on canister: currently yes/at release, probably
One deployable at a time: yes, for all classes which deploy
Buffalo/Bumblebee: it’s actually been called the Bumblebee all game, but the name changed to Buffalo for a brief period during E3. It’s back to Bumblebee now. Yes, it does look more like a Bison. No, Buffalo don’t fly.
GDF Soldier weapon mounting: no - devalued the class’ role.

Thanks for the answers. Out of curiosity, it seems like we’re getting a lot of information lately… could the dev team have hit a milestone? :???: :eek:

I’m wondering as well if this new flow of information’s gotta mean anything… let’s hope for the best. :clap:

Out of pure curiosity of the story/background (Locki just emphasized how important that is in DevDiary #3 ;)):
How can the covert ops disguise as a strogg?

I mean, the strogg soldiers are created from human - or human-like beings (we saw it in Quake 4, although it takes place later), so we can assume that they already have an understanding of human physiology when attacking earth (in Quake 4 it’s shown how they do further research and ‘produce’ soldiers). With this knowledge and their advanced technology it makes sense infiltrators are capable of disguising themselves as fallen gdf soldiers.

According to what I’ve read (please correct me if I’m wrong :)) earth didn’t know of the strogg at the time of the invasion. I doubt that the gdf had the technology to cut a fallen strogg out of his armor - even if, how would a covert ops wear it without artificially improved limbs and still be able to fool other stroggs? Apart from that I thought that the strogg would recognise each other through the implanted neural chip - and kill/capture anything they don’t recognise (well, maybe that will have the effect that you don’t see disguised enemies on the command map)…

It’s not that I really care about that. The most important thing is gameplay, so the backgroundstory can be bended to fit. Yet I do wonder… :nag:

They replace their brains with the Human ones , than leave their old strogg bodies dead , like the medics do to make spawns from humans.

(BrightSoul) #26

I see your point but then, you don’t watch enough Art Attack my dear friend. Just fold some cardboard, paint it glitter and you can fool anyone. Glue microchips from the 22nd century here and there and your disguise is complete.

see? without flaws…

(Desoxy) #27

Hehe, yea, I figured that it would be something like that, it’s ‘realistic’ within the scenario.

What I ask myself is how the covert ops - not the infiltrator - manages to disguise himself, not the infiltrator… although I see that I didn’t think of the department of art attack within the gdf, they’re incredible… :beer:

nah, I think we’re just asking simpler questions

Good question :smiley: But the brainst behind SD know what to do :wink:

Man… the mouse cursor offset is STILL NOT fixed in the site… Kinda reflects badly on SD…

Note: it doesn’t work when you do not full-screen your browser…

(RemyMartin) #31

Sweet! Been waiting for this! I’ll just play NWN2 until early next year when ETQW comes out!

(Nail) #32

site is Activision’s, not SD

(Apocalypse) #33

And ET is who’s game?..

(Nail) #34

afaik, first Activision, then id Software, then Splash Damage, but the www.enemyterritory.com site is Activision’s

(Wils) #35

ETQW is an id Software game. Activision are publishing it, and we’re making it.

(Nail) #36

my mistake, but to us, it will always be a SD game :wink:
