Heading to PAX Prime

Good Idea, or CTS trivia so it goes to people who know the reference. Just wanted to update was taking to Eka at the booth and being the awesome person he is contributed 10 more codes to the cause =D. Hopefully that will be enough to last a while and fun times will be had by all :mrgreen:.

Sweetness! Since I already have a CTS outfit I could maybe help with the MNC trivia and stuff. Unless of course you want to do it all.

So that's 20 CTS codes...man I should have asked for a few when I had the chance.

So many codes can only mean one thing.

Is that a new outfit or the same assasine-style that was given out by the last PAX?

Just curious, was the game play tested at all at Pax?

It is the same battle damaged Cardboard Tube Samurai as PAX East. As for gameplay sadly no, all they had showing the game was a TV playing the trailer and a video of gameplay footage and art as well as one of the artist constantly drawing so you could watch.

And Deadstretch, yes you should have asked =P. If you have ideas for some trivia you can get started on that, post timestamp/order should make the winner easy to determine.

how did the gameplay look?

GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE?!

YOU HEARD THE MAN!!!!

It was just quick flashes so hard to tell. Noticed some MNC assets still being used like the annihilator, juice stations and support firebase. The jungle map ( same as the release trailer ) looks most similar to LazorRazor with two major levels and lots of corners. They want combat to last longer so engaging in team battles and seeing why you died is easier. It seems a lot is still in flux while they get that worked out for all of the classes. I think this was mentioned in the Kotaku article but matches are now 5v5 instead of 6v6.

If we had broad access we could dissect it.

But at this stage I would imagine a lot of things are in flux so it might not be worth it.

I sure hope they don't change the game too much. It kinda seems like there is gonna be way less action now which is what made MNC so difficult at times as well as fun. I know the overall pace of the game is slower but can a dev please confirm whether or not that just has to do with the objective or the slaughter as well?

"We've changed the balance and lowered the lethality," Comes explained. "People tend to live a little bit longer [in the new game.] There are a lot more tactical battles, so the gameplay is a little bit more intense."

This is a quote from the Kotaku article ( http://kotaku.com/super-monday-night-combat/ ) that was a direct quote from John Comes the Creative Director. So yes combat will not be quite as quick. I would hold off on judgment until playing though because we have no idea how exactly that plays out, besides it will be free :mrgreen:. As long as SMNC encourages and rewards an aggressive playstyle that is what I liked about the original and I hope continues in the new iteration.

Also it would probably be best to discuss this in the SMNC forum as this thread is soon to be about giving away awesome codes!

wish i could have been there to see the gameplay

So I get a free code right?

I may or may not have 5 CTS codes thanks to Fangeye. Sometime later today I will make a thread to give away those 5 codes and it's going to be done through Monday Night Combat trivia!

Alright I am back and I will be starting off with some Cardboard Tube Samurai trivia starting around 12:30pm to 1:00pm PST tomorrow, or in 13 and a half or 14 hours!
