oh that was you!?! HAHA, good one dev ;)

how do you own a tank with just a manta? well, I don't like to share my secrets...but what the hey!

with the manta, use it like you would a real manta...which is it's jumping abilities.

so, you never fight a tank from a distance, because the tank will always own you...that is if the other guy has a little bit of aim. however, up close, the manta owns the tank because it takes the tank forever to swing that big gun around. so, just jump around it always staying ahead of the big gun and you can continuously shoot it with your manta primary. If the guy in the tank gets smart and the 2nd tank passenger starts to shoot, it's ok too, just stay close to the tank and always jump above it, while shooting at it, and you will always own the tank! Unless, the tanks secondary has godlike aim...then you're screwed :p

why the h3ll do peeps find the urge to switch teams when they're getting their @ss beat?

was playing on at server and was just me and this other dood on opposing teams and the rest just bots. This is the way I like it since there's a human on each team. So, when me and my bots start smacking down this foo, he/she decides to switch teams making it 4(2 humans, 2 bots) vs 2 bots.....LMAO! I said go back to make the teams fair and this person says the teams will balance out! um...no. have some integrity, if you're getting your @ss raped, take it like a man! :p ;)

As far as ground vehicles, I believe there will be one more that's not in the demo - a 5-passenger truck called the Leviathan. It looks like a mean sonova... but I'm sure it'll have its weakpoints well exposed.

We need to work on better team balances, because right now (for n00bs like me) it gets boring quick when one team is stacked and the other one sucks. You know there's something wrong when I have the highest score on my team. :)
