really nice use of source
It's ogre.
I don't like how they said you have to unlock them. Fair enough they're actually balanced (high speed, low health and high health, low speed compared to normal speed and normal health) but the developers said they were added for people with different playstyles. So basically you're forced to play the "medium" until they deem you good enough to play how you want.
Ew, exposed hydraulics everywhere. Put a dust cover over those things.
Hah, ok, it still has source ragdoll effects which is just lovely. Watching the Stryder video when it gets 1:15 where it shoots the bot on the roof. The first shot is fine, but the second shot caused the ragdolls limbs to just freak the fuck out like out of a Gmod machinima.

Eitherway, definitely gonna be getting that Stryder.
The stryder screams of hawken to me.

I find it is a good measure of how well you can do with overall and then you can specialize. If you throw someone new to the game 3 options at once, they'll probably be a little overwhelmed and pick one that they're not necessarily good at. If you give them one that is a mix of both styles, they'll figure out how they like to play, whether they're good with one playstyle or the other, and gear towards one of the other options when they become available. It's not supposed to limit the player so much as get them acclimated to the general feeling of the game then let them open up a bit. I doubt they'd be too far up a tree or anything to unlock at any rate.
i played titanfall on the CeBit in germany. It is a quite enjoyable game.

IE Warframe, but with Warframe the starting options were a 1 time choice that a lot of players regretted because they chose stuff based on 'cool' rather than 'skill' styles.
muh Loki :'(
But seriously. This is weird. I'm not "hyped" for the game, I just really want to play it. The trailers don't pump me up or anything, and I'm not impressed per se, but I really really really want to fucking play it. It just looks so damn fun. It doesn't look like it's trying to do anything other than entertain which goes against every AAA game release in the past seven years.
