Vehicle Cloaking

Carnage · 2012-07-21, 10:48 PM

Some1 tell me I didn't just see this in Higby's latest tech test?
a Cloaked Scythe taking off? I thought there might be some vehicle cloaks for the Quad, but a Scythe?
Is that what this is, or did a cloaked infiltrator get into a Scythe and it "glitch clocked" for a few seconds... it seemed like it was cloaked to too long for that to be the case...

Right now, that's just the animation of the vehicle spawning. That's all. It basically matrix's in.

I guess your right... and I am of the confused natures... all the spawning animations I have seen so far happen before the vehicle even had a chance to take off...

I'm pretty sure all you saw was how aircraft will look as they are spawned in. Nothing more. There was a flash of green as it lifted off which screams nanite construction and you'll see a glimps of it whenever you see someone spawn one in the video, the cockpit just materializes with a flash of green.

yup, on the pad spawnng instead of the spawn underground then lift up. That way noobs wont die so easily.

Yes. Yes we are.

Is it me or does the LA seem worthless outside of 60 meters. Higby played a lot of LA in the livestream and that class needs a battle rifle. He was constantly getting into firefights at about 100m or so and the bullet spread from his carbine was rediculous. Devs if you read this the LA needs help.

I believe that's also up to the weapon choice and its customization. Not to mention I find it rather balanced concept that LA's are weak at higher ranges, being the games most mobile class. If they were to have extremely efficient ranged combat, I'd imagine those jet pack assholes just kiting everything to hell (MAX clearly couldn't gap the distance in between).

Its just that the LA is the only class with zero options past cqc. To me the LA needs a semi auto rifle so they can be relevant outside the confines of a building. Because right now it seems that the only job the la is going to excell at is that of fighter jockey.

Sounds fine to me. LA should be limited to short/medium range. You have to give up something for that kind of mobility.

Yeah I think the la will work fine during the night. If they can get a good position without being seen they will be able to get a kill streak. Higby showed us that the la even with its jump pack is dead meat outside of a base during the day. They are incapable of efficiently trading fire at medium range.
