NOT deployable.

You equip it, and hold the fire button while aiming, and it slows whatever target you line up and lock onto. They'd have separate lock ranges for vehicles and infantry (longer range on vehicles). You could maybe have slightly less of a speed reduction on vehicles as well.

That way, they become much more of an anti-vehicle weapon than anti-infantry, and would be reliant on teamwork to be an effective option in combat.

Get someone in close with a webifier to lock down the vehicle, THEN hit it with AV weapons. If you're running a Scout squad and find a well-tanked Heavy, get one guy behind with a webifier then hit it with whatever weapons you have.

Lol I can def see this be abused. Maybe op and annoying for ground troops.

Like Luna Angelo said, I't would be best on vehicles. Makes more sense. At a close proximity, web stasis a vehicle/aircraft so it can slow down a bit. Could be helpful when there is a squad running av's or for a war barge.

Beeing serious, i would do it like the guy above me suggests. Aww cute, another one of those ones that heard imaginary release dates for stuff that was never given a time frame. I feel sorry for your poor comprehension...life must be full of false truths, misunderstandings and warped perceptions for you. pours you some milk http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/03/24/dust-514-presented-at-eve-fanfest-2012/ Confirmed for 2012: PvE with Rogue Drones. Confirmed for 2013: MTACs E-sports and competitive gaming support Some of the other content was mentioned at Fanfest, and I'm sure some was mentioned for a planned 2013 release, but I think that was an overly optimistic list we were just given.

If it's an equipment you have to select, I don't think it can be abused, because you can only lock down one target, and will be relying on another player to damage said target in order to achieve anything. It would be beneficial for Scouts to use it to stall a Heavy, but beyond that, I can't see any way to abuse it as an anti-infantry option.
