Choze Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 CG trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/239916.html?playlist=featured 256 players online. 8 person squads. There will be stuff like major airport drops(from aircraft with parachutes!) and base attacks. Has mixed class mixing abilites like Killzone 2 so a commando can also heal if needed. Heavy tactical/strategic elements. There will be player progression which is the trend in online games. Chain of command will come into play i guess as well as objectives. Guessing: its server based Wii and 360 eat your hearts out. After the dumbing down of Battlefield with Bad company this is fantastic news. Well the bar has been raised. Hopefully Zipper can deliver. Sounds like it will be insanely fun. With 128 players on one team the variation of play will be endless. Of course stategy is important here as 128 people is alot on a team.
Cube Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 We won't truly find out if it's any good until at least a week after release - a game like this sounds like it's entirely dependant on it getting a good community.

Yeah it will depend on a good community. I think it does bode well though, Warhawk from what I hear has a good community and you would expect a vast majority of players on there to migrate to this. I have always thought when playing RTS games that a shooter on a similar mould online would work. Whilst you are raging a battle with your squad there will be countless other battles going on all over the shop. If people can get a regular 8 man group of friends as well to play with would work.
spirited away Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Sounds like an intruiging concept; I really hope they pull it off. Sounds like it might be a little chaotic though.
Choze Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah i guess this why there is a chain of command as there are so many players. You will need afew strategists for this sort of game. Also we dontknwo what ojectives they will put into the game. It could be you can take over bases and launch from them. Concept sounds amazing. Definately one to look forward to. I wish the trailer was gameplay though. Graphics arent going to be the games strong point i guess but the scale will make up for it. Also planes! YES.
Daft Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 N-E Army anyone!? Sounds awesome, I can't wait for this.
flameboy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 N-E Army anyone!? Sounds awesome, I can't wait for this. YES DEFINITLY! I think this game will thrive really. From what I hear Warhawk has a great community for the most part. SOCOM has always had a great community and it is both of these that will migrate to this title.Nice to hear rumours coming out that it could be released as soon as Spring!
