yeah why not. They deliberately balanced UT2k4's onslaught so infantry stood a chance.

This isn't a combat simulator. If the vehicles are completely superior to infantry and there's plenty about, why bother with infantry at all.

Because vehicles can't act in covert stings. Vehicles can't capture internal structures. Vehicles cant sabotage areas or set traps. Vehicles can't climb up on top of other vehicles and stick explosives to them. Vehicles cannot build structures. Vehicles cannot revivie players. Vehicles cannot set up artillery barrages and air strikes. Vehicles cannot steal the enemies uniform.

good bomber pilots annoy the shit out of me, unless they're on my team obviously. heli's aren't as much trouble.

uh now this is even more retarded
how are allowing plances to prance around and sending bombs without being able to take them out teamwork?

if anything such a balance is antiteamwork as it encourages players to just get in vehicles and get as many kills as possible instead of working together to cap bases
heck even i after 1 hour practice know how to grab a plane and fly around the entire round with < 4 deaths killing people like nothing

Anyone else notice how when games are coming out, awesome high rez screenies come out that dont quite hold up to the in game visuals.

Not to deflate anyone, but ill be impressed when i see movement.

Screenshots aren't taken ingame. They're preposed in modeling packages and then rendered.

I know this because I recently applied for a position at Splash Damage to take screenshots for this very game.

looks pretty cool...battlefield type games r pretty gay though...and the maps still look small...
a defining attribute of a government is that it has a monopoly on the legitimate exercise of violence...
