Vehicles In Game

[impulsive]

once you buy a Vehicle and it blows up is that the end of your hard earned vehicle???

[Untamed98]

No one knows about that hopefully there is some way to get it repaired or it respawns after the fight.

[Rerg]

Viechles can be used in two ways I believe.
1. Fighting and you will respawn with your viechle on the map, it will spawn in a place near your base and will be located on the HUD. < Idea

2. Free use, cant blow up dunno :P

[theredraven]

lol you'll respawn with it or something

[TRMatt]

I’m not sure that's a good idea redraven. If a player can buy a vehicle and always respawn with it then he could be in a vehicle 100% of the time. Eventually every player will be able to afford a vehicle, which means that if they wanted to every player could be in a vehicle 100% of the time. That seems like it would be hard to balance without making vehicles underpowered.


One way to balance it would be to put timers on vehicles. For example if you buy a tank you can respawn it after it's detroyed but then you'll need to wait 10 minutes before spawning it again. So if your tank is destroyed before 10 minutes you'll need to wait out the rest of that time before getting another one.

[Grind]

having to wait for your vehicle to respawn would work out nicely. I'm sure they'll have something that limits the amount of vehicles on any battlefield at a certain time (unless the servers will be good enough where EVERYONE can have a vehicle at the same time, which would be pretty fun I guess lol).

Either by limiting the amount of vehicles that can be taken out at any time, or by putting the timer on it like you said.

I think, to make it balanced, vehicles should be cheap, but you can only drive a vehicle if you have a liscense.

[shneb]

it would be quite anoying if like lets say in a 200 ppl in a match and all are just using vehicls it would be quite lame.
i think it should be like 3 vehcels per side and if its destroyer it respawns or they will respawn in the middle of the map and the 2 teams have to fight for them to get controll

there will proabaly be a skill lvl for Vehicles and the better the lvl the better of what u can drive/fly

[Ghos7]

Well, it doesn't matter what level you are, you just have to buy a liscense to get a vehicle. As long as you have the liscense, it doesn't matter what level you are, you just have to get a vehicle and you can drive it.

[R4GE]

I think vehicles are going to make this game fun. Flanking and what not.

[baddb0y93]

i think it would respawn were all the other vehicles respawn or mabe if you own it ,it would respawn in the city in your garage since every1 gets an instanced apartment

[InsaneRussian]

Well i think it would be more like... If you were riding and your vehicle got pwnd somehow, it will be taken to some place where you will be able to repair it. And im speaking of small vehicles for single person. APCs will be available only to clanleaders or something. havent heard anything about tanks though lol...

[Benny]

I read in the IGN update that the only vehicles you'll need to buy were the ones you only use to get around in the big cities fast. The main cities need to be big as hell in order to be worth it.

One other thing it says is that combat vehicles will spawn randomly over the battlefields, and that absolutely EVERYONE will be able to drive them, but you'll need the lisence for that vehicle in order to make any use of it (what I think that meant, is you'll be able to drive it around as you like, but you need the lisence in order to use the weapons and such. Maybe it increases speed and performance if you got the lisence too)

[InsaneRussian]

Ohh now i understand... Transport vehicles only for transporting and are available pretty much everywhere and you must buy them yourself.
But every combat vehicle will be only available on the fields of battle and nowhere else and you'll the lisence to use it....
All that makes sense to me ^^
Thx alot benny :P

[Lunarhawk]

Yeah, basically civilian vehicles that you actually buy are only for getting around, I don't think they can be attacked/destroyed.

Battlefield vehicles can be but you don't buy them, only get the license and then use them.

[baddb0y93]

well in this video there is a vehicle driving in the city which isnt a civilian vehicle :0 http://youtube.com/watch?v=TMSzl6-Vv00

[InsaneRussian]

Well there are people who want to save every penny... They wont buy the transport vehicle and would be using trains to travel or their feet... Haha would be fun to see that kind of people in game xD
Plus the combat vehicles will be pretty much as in UT04... I just hope not that lame in controling and doing damage :P
But massive i guess it would be like in BF2 or BF2142 mix between tanks, cars, jets and so on.

[baddb0y93]

i would take the train to save some money for my gunship;0 but i heard you have to get train tickets idk if they cost money

Which vehicle are you talking about? The one that he drives in the start or the APC that delivers your clan to the battle field?

Cause the vehicle in the start that he drives is transport for 1 person that you can buy. And APC is APC which delievers your clan to Battle Field... Or did i miss some third vehicle?
