What's funny is those buggies actually maintain the geometric feel of the empires, haha.

Anti-vehicle
Long range HA (Cycler)
Short range HA (MCG)

Make sure you have replies turned on - sometimes that messed up. I installed tweetdeck for this since the web interface from twitter is garbage.

Higby. You skipped my tweet during the Q&A. Is this holstering thing secret or can you only have one weapon equipped at a time? Like HA or AV and MA or HA?

Re: Major items from Twitter


Might be....

* MCG renamed to Heavy Cycler
* Heavy Cycler is a Cycler variant
* Heavy Cycler is a MCG variant
* "Heavy" is an ammo type

I doubt it, Higby keeps saying he won't show pictures of an "MCG" to torment me.

We don't have back holstering right now... it has to do with the number of draw calls that out characters cost, since there is such deep customization for both weapons and armor they were getting way too expensive for us to have hundreds on the screen at once =)

Sad to see another unique Planetside feature bite the dust in the name of bloom.

So, this means
A ) Heavy Assault is the class of soldier. The weapons that the HA soldier can handle include the class of weapons that, I am guessing, would be called "heavy weapons". This includes AI and AV weapons, which, for the TR would mean that the Striker, Decimator, MCG and Heavy Cycler are all classed as Heavy weapons, and
B ) The Heavy Assault class of soldier can also handle lighter-assault class weapons, such as the Repeater, Cycler, chainblade, and whatever else they dream up.
C ) Perhaps AV weapons can be handled by other classes, including Heavy Assault-class soldiers, but the Heavy Assault soldiers can handle AI weapons that the other classes can't, or

It would be so appropriate if the Heavy Assault soldier was the only one that had the ability to handle the heavy weapons, both heavy AI and heavy AV.

FPS > things we'll miss, but can live without.

At some point, we can't ask them to have a toggle option for every little thing. Not suggesting you're suggesting that, just saying. I'd still like back packs on characters, but I can live without those too.
