    Maybe it's just me, but has anyone noticed how the bots bare some sort of resemblance to that of each of the classes? Sort of how the Gunner deals with the Support class in the AmmoMule video and how the larger type robot deals with the Assault class in the first trailer.

    I've also noticed how this bugger appears to have some striking resemblance to the Assassin:

    It could just be me though, I know there are more robots than there are classes but possibly...

    I'm also wondering if you could turn off the bots so you could have just one crossfire match against another team without them?

    I have picked up on something nobody has seen, in the 10 minutes gameplay video on youtube(sorry dont know how to do links) there is numerous times when the player is shooting "the pawn" character (I think) the name comes up as "Black Jack" so thats 1 out of the way

    Also we know another name which is "the jackbot" so the devs could be going along the lines names that has Jack in it or it could be a coincidence either way we have got 2 names down

    The whole game is like a sport / casino / game show feel so names like 'Black Jack' fit for that. Jackbot is a play on the term Jack Pot.

    I know that jackbot is a play on jack pot because when you kill him you get loads of prizes or something

    Now will all the robots have the term jack in them or is that a coincidence????

    I doubt they will water down their wit with constant "jack" references.

    *EDIT: I wonder, however, if there will be references and easter eggs littered throughout the game.

    Thanks for clearing that up Scathis and i agree with col jesseep jackbot is a good name
    I have another question in blitz mode do the robots spawn in waves, like first is it black jack then another robot then jackpot or do they all spawn at once?

    I think they are keeping info on blitz mode a secret until release because we have no vids or anything of it, We just know its a survival type mode were you chose specific challenges to complete (Probably stuff like survive 10 mins or 100 kills but IDK)

    I hope its not like L4D survival where they rush you with 2 tanks straight away and is more like it gradually gets harder the longer you live.

    I hope its kind of like nazi zombies (because it gets harder) i hope there is an infinite round just to see how long you can go last for, but it would be cool to have a set time also i would like leaderboards with blitz mode as well to compare with friends and other people

    I think they are keeping info on blitz mode a secret until release because we have no vids or anything of it, JustinIsALie

    I agree with this but i want to know the layout of the map and stuff like dat

    But is all the robots that are in crossfire going to be there????

    Can 1 of the devs please tell us more about the blitz mode Please

    We'll be releasing Blitz mode info soon with a video in time for E3 in June. You'll get lot of your answers then. The only reason we haven't yet is because we have another video we're finishing up before then, oh and also the rest of the game. :)

    Cool I watch E3 videos on their website when it comes around because I can't make it to E3.

    I'll keep an eye out for MNC.

    I'll throw my hat in for support of some sort of infinite mode - it would suck to win all the blitz modes and not have any more to do.

    I thought you guys would have already had an infinite mode. Lucky they asked because infinite mode is like the basic mode of survival, You can't have survival without it.

    I completely support thewalrus' idea! Playing against the AI in Demigod became frustrating very soon because I could beat 3 (cheating) nightmare AIs all by myself and get a 100:0 kill:death ratio, all of the experienced players could. This was after a major AI improvement patch btw.

    [​IMG]

    Needless to say that playing against the AI was not an option anymore at that point. It would be great to have a bunch of multipliers for the AI too. Health, money, bot toughness should do the trick.

    I'm aware that the AI in a shooter is very different from a Demigod type game and will probably have less weaknesses. Still, as the players will quickly adapt to it and become better than most play testers would anticipate. :D
