Imagine your walking behind somebody, entering a building or room and BAM, the person in front of you has a knife in his face, or gets bamboozled by the butt end of a rifle, lol.... that would be awesome

You should be able to use the butt of your weapon, have some throwing or stabbing knives, and even your fists....

Yeah this woudl be a direction to look into. close quarter combat. something like a chainsaw on the end of your rifle or cool looking serated knifes something for in close range.

Oh and like armorking mentioned now i picture the Rhino asaault APC from warhammer 40k. multiple hard points or firing ports like the apc's(LAV-75) from BF2

I would mainly like to see drop ships, and individual ways of transportation such as ATV's or motorbikes. As for weapons I'd like to see them come out with an original melee weapon, one hit one kill, and a reliable shotgun that has the option for shoot multiple types of ammunition such as regular shells or slugs, maybe even grenades.

i see alot of people are likin the whole Warhammer 40k thing. I'de like to see fat motorbike with 2 mounted machine guns on the front. I'd even love to see some sort of Grav Gun like the one in HL2.

I want a different variety of pistols not jus 1. Maybe a plasma pistol and a deadly revolver.

[ArmorKing]

Yeah, from the looks of it huxley has a few single person vehicle like hover bikes from the looks which is sweet... i would love to see some more smaller fast paced 1 man vehicle to rip it up in a huge battle.

Variation of some of the stuff warhammer 40k would be great. The large land raider battletank/troop carrier thing

The Orca attack helicopter from C&C 1

C&C Tiberian sun Orca tank transport

The ED-209 thing from robocop, could be used as a remote anti-personal drone

that land raider tank would be cool too!

What I liked most about the big armor suites of WH40k, is the junk they tend to stick to it.
Rifited plates, decapitated heads, big ass flag, rust, blood, dirt, slogans...
That would kick ass...

[Naughty]

Yea all of these are great ideas. Anyone the least bit hoping that you will beable to throw your weapon? I always thought it'd be cool. Also think it'd be very interesting if when you bought your vehicle (Which ever one it may be) you can place all kind of decals, writings, paints, slogans on it, that way your not running around on the same ATV as everyone else.

I for one would also love to see alot of WH40K in there, I've only really played the table top game a couple of times (not really a big fan) but I love the art work and imagary of such a bleak and grim universe. It's much more truthful to our nature than some utopia where we solve all our problems and never have another conflict (aint ever gonna happen :P).

I'm an artist myself, or as close as possible without being employed as one (student), and I've always drawn alot of inspiration from the gamesworkshop art. I really hope Huxley captures this image of grit, grime, rust and blood... an utter absence of hope for a better future. So more on topic, I'd really like for the weapons and armour to reflect this dirty gritty future. I dont want super shiney silver type technology; but archaic rustic almost brutal weapons. Most of all I'd like to see an effective melee weapon, not something you'd use as a last resort but something that should be feared in the form of perhaps a 'chain sword'.

Yes i think it would be sweet to be able to put your own decals or even items to show that this yours not theirs.... i can imagine some nice stuff coming from this.

Yeh those chain swords from 40k are deadly little buggers. I hope there'd be a vast choice of melee and range weapons. Melee battles can be much more fun in games than jus shootin people.

Yeh i think some missions should reward trophies like in the game Fable. Where you should be able to stick heads on spike on the back of your armour. Once again a warhammer 40k thing. Hey i kNow lets jus make a warhammer 40k game lol.

[OriOn]

I think they pretty much have stated what vehicals are going to be in the game...

mmm drop ship

[ArmorKing]

So far they have shown a few... im sure they will leave 1 or 2 out of discussion for surprise.

As to the talk about a chain sword, that would be sweet, and very effective considering how many full mutants you will face in the game.

I would like to see variations on some of the vehicles, namely APCs and air transports

Air transport variations:

Vehicle dropship:
This dropship is capable of carying a smaller vehicle, with its crew inside, If the air transports already have a small vehicle spot like the galaxy from PS It would be able to carry something like an MBT instead, This would help with moving fast from spot to spot.

Troops dropship:
This variant would have all spots except troops/gunner spots removed, if there is a small vehicle bay or spots for the huxley equivilent to the MAX from PS they would be removed for extra infantry room

Power Armor Dropship:
This variant would only carry power armor, asuming it is in game, even the gunner would be able to wear power armor along with the pilot.

Gunship:
In PS a gunship version of the air transport was wanted desperately by many many players. It would have no passenger spots but would have several machinegun and cannon spots available, to balance it out it would have 2 MG's on each side, one cannon on each side, and a read gun capable of shooting left or right. It would have a massive amount of ammo and would more or less lay down spam to scare the enemy and provide close air support.

Tanks:

I would like to see some sort of small agile tank with a machine gun, fortunantly something like this appears to be in game.

I would also like an artilary piece that can aim at spots that have been painted by laizers by other players, like the flail from PS. The lazer would need to stay on the target the entire time or the shell would go off course.

Powered armor:

I would like to see powered armor suits, much like the wolverine from CnC tiberian sun and the powered exoskeleton from ghost in the shell and appleseed. These would be too big to go into most parts of bases but would be good for taking the larger hallways. The core of the base would not be accessable to these for balance reason.

Mechs:
I would like to see mechs, but not large ones like the BFRs of PS.
I would like to see smaller ones like the sentinel in WH40K. Here are some examples. They would be fast, agile, and not very well armored. They could be crippled from having its legs taken out. They would be very fast and would be perfect for guerilla tactics and blitzkrieg

I would like to see alot of bridges that are major chokepoints. In PS some of the most fun fights were bridge fights, they were fast and brutal.

[ArmorKing]

Id have to say Dropships are a must, and from the looks of some of the videos there maybe some availible.... and Gunships would be very nice to see around.

Power armors as you put would be fine in the game, just like PS they played a key role in fights at times, and made things a bit more interesting, at that same point they werent over powering, they had flaws and could be taken by even a single soldier on the fields, it came down to how well the user used it or how skilled he was.
