The new lore reveal is teasing us ?

When reading the nice background story, I was wondering if the commander "thruster" and "countermeasures" was teaser a commander special abilities.

As it has being told that each commander will have two special abilities (and Uber Canon is one of those), I presume we can suppose that this commander has the "countermeasures" (instead of the Uber Canon) and the "thruster" abilities...

Moreover Invictus is a Delta commander, I guess this one will probably be a Alpha one.
It seems we will have for the four factions : Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta commanders !

(and of course the "progenitors" commander)

-nevermind-

The delta was supposedly going to have missile launchers under it's shoulder pads.

I want a high mobility commander!!!

Strike suit heroes would be cool.

While cool, there is stuff in lore that may never get represented in game play elements.

For instance, I would not expect that there is a mechanic that allows the commanders to "fall down", and a subsequent animation to "stand up".

As such, even more advanced elements may become less feasible. We haven't even seen any city rubble!

Also, since folks are linking robits they think are cool, here's one with a cape and an axe from RF Online:

Strangely enough, I have had some instances, mostly on metal planets, where my commander spawns horizontally as opposed to vertically.

As for the lore tease, I'm surprised everyones on the "counter measures" and "jetpacks" side, yet no one has mentioned the gunships.... ?

... You do realise that no lore whatsoever has been released outside of the backers lounge (backers only forum) right?

Its kinda weird to refear to it in this forum were many cant see it.

I suggest a mod moves this thread to the backers lounge.

Umm...

THAT'S SCALE!

The best way to play SupCom 2

I love the spider bot...

nope they should be Delta,Alpha,..., and the more Cool faction should have the Progenitors!

Whoops. . Nevermind me *hides*.

Of course there are some scenaristics elements but "thruster' and "countermeasure" are descriptive elements.
In other hand, it can also be elements from the commander "strike suit" that Neutrino has been teasing a little bit on.

I've also noticed this but not mention it as gunship as been already discussed in this forum.

now you know where my avatar's from.
you should try it guys, it's revamp mod (sadly the oaf making the mod though his design for com wasn't good enough and scrapped it for a crap-looking one)
one disclaimer though : get ready for one hellish ride with the resulting clunk-fest of a UI ...It's almost vitrtually unusable.

Thrusters and countermeasures would be cool

especially if the thrusters could be set to automatic and you don't have to micro them.


That being said, I think we'll have those gunships long before this.

Those are gorgeous units.

Is that max graphics for the mod, or can SP2 reach that kind of fidelity on its own?

When i think ,its a dream
