I haven't played in a long time but I thought this song was available before. Am I misremembering?

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They were talking about it for like a whole year and showed off some concepts of the cape months ago, but the cape itself just released

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oooh, I was under the impression that it was already released. How's the game lately? I feel like coming back after a long hiatus.

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Still feels pretty good. Not sure what you've missed, but now we've got a third faction with the squids. They have zombies, medium armoured Elite from Halo, and Tripods from War of the Worlds. Bugs have new sub factions with the predator stain and sometimes missions into the gloom, and bots have the incinerator corps and jetpack squadron. Predator strain and incinerator corps are motherfuckers to deal with. All three factions have maps with small urban environments to mix things up. Squids and bugs have megacity maps; really tight close quarter combat, eagle strikes usually hit building instead of where you need them, and super destroyers have to move to get line of sight of targets before deploying orbital strikes. But in the megacities you fight alongside SEAF troopers. So it's cool to see them, but run for the hills if you see one try to toss a grenade. Also, plenty of new warbonds and weapons

Damn, a third faction?? I definitely need to play again.

HOW DID THE CRAZY MFS EVEN GET SONY TO GREENLIGHT THIS

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

points to sales numbers

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

They can easily pass it as a cape representing 4 hellpods descending. Now the question is whether that's how they sold it to Sony

[–] GhostlyPixel@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

I’ll be honest I never expected this day to come, congrats to whoever at arrowhead managed to get the green light from Sony

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

New default cape drop you mean

[–] green_red_black@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 days ago

Sony only has say over publishing, IE the devs don’t need their permission to make the cape (make no mistake they would still need to be subtle to not get Sony TOO angry and pull the game)
