It looks like the most straightforward flight dynamic I've seen, for a helicopter in a shooter. It's the only helicopter I know of that has an afterburner, and it also has automatic take-off stabilization to make sure you don't go spinning into a tree as soon as you're in the air. The Hovercopter is less conventional, though. The Trojan can also resupply nearby units with ammo. The APC could get all its tires blown off - but it will be fine if it's in the water… and it will have improved buoyancy. Individual tires can be destroyed, mirrors get blown off, guns get shredded - and the vehicle will behave differently depending on how many tires it still has. Every one of them has damageable components that affect performance. The vehicles themselves are also a lot more complex than we're used to seeing in a shooter. However, the human's Trojan APC is amphibious. That APC is pretty heavy, but a little four-wheeled bike, the Husky, could jump that ramp right over the river, instead of having to brave a heavily guarded bridge or tunnel. And depending on what size vehicle you have, different routes may be open to you. Just make sure you're not on a windy mountain hairpin turn, or else you'll probably slide right into a chasm. Because hey, anyone can run someone over, but to do it with the side of your APC takes some finesse. You also have an E-brake in a few vehicles, allowing for powersliding, which is a classy and satisfying way of taking out foot soldiers. Your vehicle will behave differently on asphalt than it would on a dirt road. ![]() There's also the advanced vehicle treatment, where different ground surfaces make for differing traction. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. They have a different way of handling the battlefield. You're also dealing with two very different factions the Strogg are not just soldiers with ugly faces. With a focus on 24-32 players, the maps are also a little smaller, making it unlikely that someone will be able to buzz around the fleet on a scooter. ![]() That means you won't have solo runners diving behind enemy lines and stealing bases in the midst of your advance. For one, they include node-based capture, where you have to get Base X before you can capture Base Y. The Quake engine has been beefed up with enhanced physics, but it's not just a BF2 clone with some frilly lace. ![]() This continuation of Quake lore puts us only 50 years in the future, where humans are defending Earth against the Strogg, a popular pastime. ![]()
