That seems to be the case. I have no problem with it :-)

"Check your left, incoming Flash Bikes, get some anti-armor over here!"

I probably won't be driving them. I'm going to be a Scythe-pilot :D

Well the ATV was never called "ATV" in PS1. Perhaps "Flash" is one of the variants similar to the Fury, Basilisk and Wraith.

[DayOne]

It shall hence be called, the "Flasher".

[Socks]

hmm, still like atv better. Then again the lightning isnt called a light tank and a vanguard isnt called a medium/heavy tank. So i guess the ATV/quad finally got a name just like al the other vehicles

[atone]

ill still call it the atv

[NewSith]

What do ya think?

Hmmm...

I'd rather call it Runner. Flash associates with the guy above for almost any modern person.

But, anyway, proof?

[Arby]

The Flash huh?

I kinda like it, it fits, and solves the ATV/Quad debate nicely.
Do we have a full list of "Flash" equipable weapons though?

[DayOne]

"Incoming Flashers"

[DaddyTickles]

I shall call it "Arggghhh, bikey thing... shooting me....*&^(... I'm dead"

[ThGlump]

Just call it Fury. That was nice name.

[Raymac]

Just call it Fury. That was nice name.

Furrys give me the creeps more than Flashers. I prefer the Mardi Gras version over kinky mascot suits.

[NewSith]

Good point, but I think their logic is that fury (as in creature) produces too much sound and the name would totally be unfit for ATVs with cloaking upgrade.

I insist on Runner. Sounds more ear friendly. And there will be less confusion when someone says "I saw a flash".

[VioletZero]

Why not the Rapier or Phantom?

:rolleyes:

In agreeance.

tl;dr: +1

[Raymac]

:rolleyes:

Well for 1, the people that played PS1 know that those sound extremely similar to exisiting vehicles i.e. the Reaver and Phantasm

[NewSith]

I think this thread needs a "Leave/Rename" poll.

Now I wish they called it the Streak

[Squeegeez]

Group of flashers inbound, hide your children!

[Vancha]

Flash has an awesome high, a deadly low, it's extremely addictive and it turns your eyes white.

[Graywolves]

I'm not calling it Flash.

[Hamma]

I bet it's going to change they prob just picked any name so it was called something in the demo. haha

[Traak]

I so despised the aimbot-dominating Furies (once had one hit me with a rocket, then the next rocket of the VERY SAME PAIR hit my AMS. Why was this an aimbot? Because my AMS was about 60 degrees divergent from me, and I had just ducked behind a rock as the first rocket struck, impossible for someone to do)

I like Flash much better. Do they have rocket-equipped ones called Bangs?

[Mightymouser]

Aimbots don't exist for PlanetSide...



On topic, I sounds kind of like a placeholder name, but really who cares what the ATV is called... :p

[Traak]

Aimbots don't exist for PlanetSide

Stupid statement of the year award. But, for the cheater, like for Adolph Hitler, the bigger the lie, the more likely he guesses that people will accept it.

It's named after the ID of the best Starcraft: Brood War player of all time, Lee Young-Ho. That's what you get when an ESPORTS fanatic is your game's Creative Designer. As a fellow SC/SC2 enthusiast I support this.

[Coreldan]

Have to say that they did some weird decisions :D

They ask us about 1) ATV name 2) quick knife 3) kill cam, from which 2 and 3 were completely obliterated as ideas from the vet community. I dont remember how the ATV name poll ended, but they end up using neither and going for a whole new name :D

Flash is OK, I guess. I do agree that Fury is somehow better.

[Hamma]

Coreldan :lol:

Good points there.

I will call it Flash now.

Kill Streakers.
