There's one screen with a viewpoint behind an NC guy, looking down at a few TR running to the tower, and off to the left by the rock it looks like the dead body of a child.

I'm imagining things right?

Looks more like a heavy scout rifle to me, just with the square scope and all

Well, looks like weapon scavenging made it in after all.

LOL

Talk about jumping the gun here

Higby has clearly said that weapon scavenging won't be in for balance issues and a number of other reasons. So I think it is safe to say that this is probably the result of a internal test. Hell it could even be a NC soldier because they decided to revamp the NC texture or whatever and didn't want him to be nude.

I tell ya. PS2 will be a launch title on the PS4. Just you wait and see.

I hope not. I don't want to wait years for PS2.

If anything, it'd be a dumbed-down port featuring 128vs128 players released 3 years after PC. I can never see consoles being made to where you can swap out parts; just because hardware developers likely wouldn't develop aftermarket parts for consoles. And, because of this, consoles would never be able to handle games on a massive scale such as PlanetSide.

I'd like a link to where he said they're removing weapon scavenging. All he said is it makes it hard to balance. Something shouldn't be removed simply because it isn't a walk in the park to balance.

This is ignoring the fact that weapon scavenging adds no balance issues.

That could just be lighting. Note the "different" helmet colors.

"Q: Why was veh hacking removed?

-Couple reasons, the one you mention is one, another is because we really want to push the empires to be very different in PS2, and getting ahold of enemy weapons and vehicles makes it a lot more of a balance nightmare.

Note that he didn't say 'its not', or 'its just vehicles'. He was asked why it was removed, gave a couple reasons, and also brought weapons into it too.

Either they've changed their positions or he was simply stating it does cause balance issues (which they don't).
