As a jetpacker, can you sit on top of exo and weld it? As a skulk, can you climb the exo? As an exo, can you fire non stop by using the minis in turns?
Just wanted to say amazing work on the trailer UWE. Other than the obvious I'm loving the new GL model! Can't wait for the patch to hit Steam. Still seeing new comments every few seconds on the Youtube clip, mostly raving about teh awesome.
One tiny niggle, the bullets coming out of the miniguns look a little underwhelming compared to the other effects. I'm guessing this is still wip, but from outside it looks like there's just the occassional big flash coming out rather than a constant stream (from ~2:26 it's most visible)

That is wise but I still think any sort of vision inhibition should be avoided (especially with something as spammy as bilebomb) since in my opinion the game is far too fast and already visually confusing. Perhaps things can be balanced around other variables.

Remember in Unreal how you could choose weapon priorities? Obviously post release but you could implement even a basic form of this ... have an option in menu where one divides a list of classes into 'melee primary attack' xor 'ranged primary attack'.
Oh, and the thought of having 2 flamers brings forward images of the Heavy Flamer Terminators from the GamesWorkshop minitures ... 'Burn, the apostate must die!'

Right there with you.
A button to turn it all off would be great :D
You still can, but they cost tres. Not sure if the numbers are adjusted, otherwise I cannot see myself dropping much until late game.

I doubt it, surely they would release the video and the patch at the same time like they did with gorilla?
So, does it act in a similar fashion to if you reach 100 pres (split yours among team), or your slot doesn't generate pres whatsoever?
I see this encouraging Khammanders to leave the hive more often if it's option 2.
