It would create "classes" much like any rpg, with ranged attackers, close combat, medics, maybe "stealthy/sneak" etc. but implementation of that should be beneficial on a level beyond what it is now. with experience being able to increase your proficiency with said tactic automatically instead of you dumping points in it..

Judging from the tests so far, I think we can safely say that repair has been um... repaired.

You're clearly doing it wrong. My medic rocks, Ask Wingspan. Of course, you do need allies with some endurence.

As by far the biggest loud mouth in the preds, I declare that I should be allowed on the testing team!

Obviously wielding 2 gives you more attacks, and wielding a 2-hander may potentially give more damage. This is typically how it should work anyways. So why would I NOT want to dual or 2-H wield?

Each indivdual shot will cost you energon, which will be scarce. You wouldn't want to blow it all on bullets if you'll need it to cover your CR costs.

So does this mean how we earn energon/exp will be diffrent come V2..or will it be a similar to the current version?

Yes... and no.

You'll still be able to plunder it from the corpses of your fallen enemies like you do now, but as energon has a much bigger part to play in the new game there will be lots of other ways gain, and spend, your energon.

And I just had a birthday this week. I asked for it for a birthday present! >.< All I got was the beast wars source book, Dinobot, Smokescreen, Spotlight Revalation TPB and animated Jetfire/Jetstorm. And I paid for all those myself. Oh, and Lego Star Wars Rogue Shadow ship. Paid for that too.

Provided you get it released by July!

If you don't ... then we're in trouble.

Bloody fineprint, should've said December 2015.

Is there any truth to the rumor than HMW2 uses the duke nukem forever engine?

So, that's a no then?

I was joking, only OS would know if he needs to add more beta testers or not.

Fri Feb 13, 2009 6:12 pm

OF the beta testers, how many are there of every faction, is it like 10 cons and 1 bot so that when v2 starts we know where the knowledge lies?

From what I've been able to tell, the beta testers are the moderators.
