The smoke blows in the wind or probably programmed to move in a certain way. I guess it's not as dramatic as on the tharsis train in SP nor does it change in direction.

Holy crap @ KZ2 ending!
Holy crap, indeed.
Game = 10/10. No questions about it.
If you have a question at all:

I am tired of being forced to be the "not retarded" tactician in public games, and frankly I'm tired of what happens when both sides have tacticians (smart or dumb).
If only GG would put a single DEFAULT game up in the list. A "no spawn" default game maybe right below "pistols only" or something.
I have tried in vane to make No Spawn rooms but sitting there alone waiting for enough people to join is really, really, really stupid. Unless I can get enough friends online to jump start the room it will never get going.

Comcast sucks ass, I remember a couple of times when I had to work overnight and was 100% dependent on having internet and they just dropped everybody's internet for 4 hours and decided to do maintenance or whatever.

Some people just want to play like a bunch of fucking deuchebags, every single one of the spawn points I've seen tonight in the pistol only game was facing the wrong direction. Some of the tacticians I've seen tonight are the worst I've ever witnessed. Not even one viable spawn point, it's like they're deliberately trying to fuck with people by fucking them over. The only good thing happening tonight was getting that melee medal.

Same here, I had no clue you had to face the opposite direction you want people to spawn till I read it here. They should have it as a loading screen tip. I usually end up being tactician if my team is fucking them up, the cool thing about tactician is sometime you really feel like you are individually turning the tide of a battle.
It's up

Edit: interesting to see a new jump animation when jumping between trains. Wonder if it's triggered by a context sensitive action. Like press X near the ledge to perform the "special jump".

Spawn direction is not random though. You're always going to face the direction the spawn is facing, which is facing the tactician as he throws it. It's not THAT hard to figure out. The problem is more the tactician doesn't give a shit which direction the spawn is facing, nor do the people actually want to win the round. There are basically a whole bunch of people who are just in it to get the kills but for some reason they can't seem to just stick to bodycount.

Tonight some Tactician genius took both spawn points to some random point on the map to fight it out on Pyrrhus Rise. The Search and Destroy objective was on the other side of the map.
I have no idea what the people were doing I guess they "really" wanted to take that meaningless building over.
(Actually... Maybe they didn't know there is a shared pool of spawn grenades and they screwed over the team?)

So you figured it out yourself right?
The impression of randomness come from the fact that you spawn at different spawn points during the game, yours and others, and squad leaders'. You just don't pay attention to it.

Actually... What is considered the best way to handle DLC map packs?
By charging money they will fragment the user base.
If I make a Warzone with Pyrrhus Rise and the SpaceCruiser map... What happens to someone without the DLC they can't join and play?

Yeah I'd imagine there's going to be a lot of risk vs. reward on that level. S&D and Capture and Hold will be kinda crazy on there. The jump anim is different, I bet it is context sensitive by the platforms like you mentioned. He said also there are new features coming in April as well.

Rico is the most retarded piece of shit teammate ever, and Natko is not that far behind, Guerrilla here's an idea, if you're gonna make your game the hardest game ever, why don't you fucking give us good teammate AI or Co Op? It's fucking stupid that I have a teammate and he just sits there like a jackass while I do everything, ohh every now and again he dies and I gotta go revive his useless dumbass. I knew Rico was dumb on veteran, but he takes his stupidity to a whole new level on Elite.
The train map will be a sniper fest, lag + timed jumps = lolz, could be funny. The cruiser one is presented as another clusterfuck similar to CR, the first seconds of the video on this one make you wonder if this is is about tactical gameplay, with two guys moving slowly and stuff, but the true nature is revealed later in an epic UT-esque fight in the lower level...

Salmon Market FTW !

God, those maps look amazing, can't wait!
Are you SERIOUSLY telling me you're not excited after seeing the maps? SERIOUSLY?!??!Lince said:

what did you see? what I saw was two additional backgrounds more suited to Quake III Arena, am I the only one that expected this game to be a lot more slow paced and tactical? well there are now some kids in the official forum asking for a "jetpack" class... :lol
Salmon Market no respawn is the way to go.

Thank you, VNZ. Those look awesome
They sure look awesome, but one has to wonder how they play...xenorevlis said:Thank you, VNZ. Those look awesome
I hope the New Sun map includes some larger areas not seen in SP... On top of the hull for example. And the train, well. Let's hope it's long, longer than the Corinth Crossing map. If not it basically looks like a version of Tharsis Depot with moving meat grinders everywhere.

Now that details for the mappack have been released and it is a safe assumption that this will be paid content, we need to determine who is going to get it and who is not. It would be nice if this didn't fragment the clans but I suppose that is unavoidable. Hopefully those people that play frequently will be getting this.
I think the maps look interesting. It sucks that they seem a bit smaller. I only ever play 12-16 player matches anyway, but it would be nice to see maps that can handle more players. As with Lince, I prefer the gameflow of Salamun and it looks like that will be missing from these two maps (assumption based on fast flowing edits). My concern with these maps is that they will favour the shotgun like Tharsis and Blood Gracht and that the S&D areas will be horribly placed like Helghan Industries or Tharsis (HGH side). GG, if you are going to put both charges on the same construct, do it like Salamun where there is a lot of moving room.
