Whoah, only 2? That seems a bit excessive, but I -love- the sound of the arming time. The only reason I'd say only having 2 seems like an unnecessary nerf is due to their effectiveness against HAVs. That'll negatively impact one of my main means of killing them, namely getting together with another scout and laying a patch of 10 of them before luring the thing in and watching it crumble into ash.

Did someone hack a developer account? I can't believe this sort of overreaction would come from a company that has been consistently supportive of emergent, sandbox-style gameplay. What happened to handing gamers an array of tools and letting them discover their uses? From the above statement, RE's are not only going to be nerfed, they're going to be functionally erased from the game. No one will bother. What's the point of wasting an infantry slot and draining more CPU/PG for such useless gear? "Lower throw distance"? Really? CCP, do you even play your game? Or do you just spend your time taking any whining as the gospel? They ALREADY can't be thrown. They're dropped a couple feet away. By jumping and using momentum, they can be tossed a bit further. But again, this is emergent gameplay. Discovering ways of getting around the limitations of the game's tools. The sort of experimentation and discovery that SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED. Guess what, the better players adapt and evolve. I've seen it myself. It's frustrating AND stimulating. It requires a rethinking on both sides. The braindead gripers who don't have the capacity to learn from their deaths will eventually head back to COD--something they will do anyways if you make this game a straight-jacket in which the only way to kill someone is to shoot them. The sort of player what will make the most of a sandbox game is also the sort of player who will stick with it for the long haul. Trigger happy COD kids have trouble with commitments.

This, quick-to-nerf mentality of CCP, has been the most troubling aspect of my time in the beta. In contrast to the many public statements about their ambitious plans for Dust, they continually put a stranglehold on those players finding ways of testing the limits. In practice, their vision seems to be one of narrowness and constriction. They kowtow to a handful on an issue that has adherents on both sides. They also often fail to offer much rationale for their verdicts. You're quickly burning your bridges CCP. Planetside keeps looking better and better.

PDIGGY,

Maybe, just maybe, this won't be your ideal type of gameplay. There are plenty of other shooters that allow for vehicle free gun play. This isn't one of them. So either have an open mind and get ready to play a new game, or find another outlet to shoot someone in the face for one of your montage videos.

(I hope you stay, you're pretty good with the AR even though you are kind of annoying to listen to sometimes)

game is supposed to be massive, 13v13 isnt massive infact it's only the 3rd biggest shooter on ps3


no hardcore ps3 players want a game focused on soley vehicles, there will be no player base if vehicles arent changed, hell there are only a few hundred playing the beta now.

look at every ps3 exclusive, not 1 is based around vehicles. Maybe they should do a bit more research when marketing and targeting a demographic and they would see games like battlefield sell better on xbox.

if the vehicle quota stays the same, which it should and player count increase to 24v24 or 32v32 then there would be some balance to this game as far as infantry vs vehicles are concerned

Battle Tanks.
Motorstorm.
Twisted Metal.
Wipeout.

I'm pretty sure those games are based around vehicles.

And while it's not an exclusive, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon sold MUCH better on PS3, and is also about vehicles.

There will be balance as far as vehicles are concerned when the player market goes live and the game is integrated with EVE Online.

Also, you are not the spokesperson of the "hardcore PS3 gaming community." Don't act like it.

Well there's a difference.

Now we'll only have people complaining about them being used to booby trap objectives

So with this nerf if i actually manage to kill somebody or a tank and they complain on the forums for another nerf, they should be publicly flogged right?

Anyways looks like i gotta adjust my re-av grenade build now and maybe carry a forge gun or something.

Prototype swarm launcher with Weaponry V and 3 complex damage mods will do ~2930 damage per shot.

Wow -.-; i cant use a scout suit to carry hw sigh i was afraid of this. Guess ima go play some ac v. Thanks devs why dont u just make pure classes like bf 3 then oh wait you already are.

/cod in space ftw

You don't see the balance issues of a scout with a forge gun... Seriously?

Because the best way to get your point across and have people agree with you is refer to them in a derogatory manner...
