Hover Jeep Weaponry !!!!!!!!

[mutantpoo]

Holy Crap ! it is a grnade launcher and more !!!!!!!!!!!!

EA - ::Battlefield Franchise::

" The PAC Hachimoto is the Goliath's direct opposite. It's small, extremely fast and extremely agile. On top of this it hovers, which means you can make awesome strafing runs with guns ablaze. With the gunner carrying TV-guided anti-vehicle missiles as well as a fast-shooting grenade launcher a well coordinated two-man team will prove very dangerous to the enemy troops. However, keep in mind that this vehicle is very vulnerable to enemy fire, if you are standing still you will most likely be destroyed faster than you can say "Garmisch-Partenkirchen".

Oh god what was dice thinking...

[Iwantcable]

Jihading is so much better than shooting. I mean, cmon, a gun? lmao.

sweet:D

[tivojack]

I've never TK'd to get a vehicle.... yet... but those look like a blast. ;)

[TheMofficer]

if they move like the hover tank, at the speed of the jeep, omfg sounds awesome.

[fshy94]

Yep, looks fun. Really fun.

[[MIA] crimsonand]

this is going to be very fun

[Snooze]

if they move like a hovertank expect to die a lot to bad drivers slamming into walls

[Erhardt]

Agreed... while I think the Goliath is probably more my speed, the Hachimoto still looks like it'll be an awesome ride.

[LahLahSr]

One might find this vehicle an occasion to request a boost to speed of the PILUM projectile...lol.

Who would use a pillum when MM would more than do the job?

[Chasepwner]

Wow, that thing is a beast. Think of the jihad jeeping smacktards... oh God.

[mutantpoo]

If that grenade launcher has a good rate of fire and clip might be good for zipping behind hills and lobbing them in from ambush instead of always zooming around.

[Takeshii]

Wow, I can’t wait to drive one of those. I wonder how many will spawn with each map?

[ThePhoniex]

lol.. NITRO BOOST HOVERFAV!!! full speed.. into a small bush or rock or any of a million small map features that are everwhere on every map.. INSTANT DEATH!

oh god i can already tell i am going to die more to newb drivers... and i try SO hard to not be a passenger..

[Vreki]

They might be able to outrun Motion Mines.
EMP mines could prove very useful in this case.

[StealthClobber]

I'm guessing that since the Hover Tank controls are slower, the react time from when you press left or right to when it actually does so will be faster on the T36. FAV's need that agility.

The strafing run the Hachimoto did in the video to kill all those EU guys was farkin awesome.

[gamefoo]

I approve this vehicle. But I won't pay for it.

[StealthClobber]

I have analyzed the Type 36!

This is just an assumption!

DRIVER:
Double Side-Mounted FAV Machine Guns (from the UAZ-8)

GUNNER:
Grenade Launcher

[Spodeboy]

How can you hit anything when you're going so fast? I have a hard time hitting foot soldiers on the tank machine gun when the tank is moving and bouncing!

[ojkilledthemfolk]

Looks like it will be worth the wait.

[kilroy357]

That thing would be nice to have in the battleracer mod.;)

[WarGimp]

Hmm... interesting. No mention of a heavy machinegun in that write up, yet we all saw the gunner blazing away with on in the trailer.
We didn't see a grenade launcher or Anti-Armour missile being used, though.

This weapons load-out might be subject to change before release.

Please learn what the word "Jihad" means before you use it.
Sorry for the off topic comment... but I'm really tired of the ignorance people flaunt every damned time the word "Jihad" pops out of their mouths.

I believe that WAS the grenade launcher: there's no way he could have killed all of those guys without some sort of explosive, he was going WAY too fast.

I, at least, know what it means, but at this point it's become a gaming term. "Camping" doesn't mean "sitting with a sniper waiting for targets of opportunity," but that's what we mean when we say it. "SCUBA" is an acronym, but nobody uses it as such, etc. I'm not telling you to shut up, but sometimes popular culture > English language.

[WarGimp]

I'm not telling you to shut up, but sometimes popular culture > English language.
But most of the time, pop culture is a socially destructive force that promotes ignorance.

This is just something that's always annoyed the hell outta me. There's just so much stupidity and propaganda surrounding Islam right now. Using the term "Jihad" (which means "Holy War" or "Crusade") to describe blowing yourself up only helps to promote the rabid ignorance that is responsible for so much hardship and death in the world today.

My annoyance is only compounded by the fact that it's the WRONG term. Kamikaze, suicide, or C4 jeep would all be accurate terms. Jihad does not mean "to blow yourself up". Jihads can be preformed through peaceful demonstration, hunger strikes, or even just speaking out on an issue. It is something that most of us westerners don't understand because we choose not to.

For the record, I'm an atheist.
I also consider Pop Culture to be the bane of society.

[MachineMadness]

tv guided missles.........wonder if they are like the gunships controls...i sure hope not, but at least you will be able to practise alon if they are :)

im going to have alot of fun with this thing, i consider my self a good driver so wooot

[RYKUU]

i cant wait to drive them =)

[Whiteplague]

man that Hachimoto looks like some sweet stuff, if i saw correctly the driver even has a gun plus the gunners grenades and TV missiles this thing is going to OWN as long as you avoid the MM's b/c youre not going to get hit by a flying projectile unless youre sitting still
I have analyzed the Type 36!

DRIVER:
Double Side-Mounted FAV Machine Guns (from the UAZ-8)

From what it looked like the driver had the plasma cannons that are on the T-39 walker

Hey anyone notice that this is going to have side strafing too can someone say Drift Racing??

[Whiteplague]

QFT and i support popular culture because u have to adapt to it at sometime

Sorry 4 double post

[WarGimp]

Pop Culture = Ignorance < rational society.

If people would bother thinking for themselves instead of following the crowd, we might have ourselves a better world.

[DunNa]

Who would use a pillum when MM would more than do the job?

What are you talking about? I can out run MM's in a jeep this thing is supposed to be a jeep on roids so I'd assume it would be able to do the same.

[StealthClobber]

I saw a Motion Mine launcher on the Goliath too.

[SilverDragon]

I'm gonna try to use the Anti-Armor missile to shoot down transports/gunships...
But I ain't paying for it, and you KNOW I'm gonna steal a LOT of kits of booster pak f00ls.

[Leemus]

I love the FAV. More than any other vehicle.
I can almost always rely on one to be sitting there at spawn because everyone wants tanks.
These look great.
I wonder how much it will be whored though?
Depends on how many spawn permap.
I dont want them to be whored. then ill never get one =[

[GLe0]

Holy Crap ! it is a grnade launcher and more !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats cool but it looked in video at its easy to destroy (:

[Deesies]

I hope they don't mean by "grenade launcher," they're sticking the APC grenade launcher - the most overpowered weapon in the game - on a fast attack vehicle =/

[gamefoo]

This new vehicle sounds like EA god-modding BF2142 for people who bribe them.

[Kalo]

Overpowered? what do you want from the APC?! I imagine that shrapnel would "Overpower" you too ;).

[Deesies]

what I don't want is to have something aimed half way down the street and still kill me in one shot.

It's like BF2 1.0's grenade launcher with double radius, fires three at a time and mounted on a bloudy vehicle =/

[Kalo]

First people complain about a game not being realistic, then its overpowered :\ Id really like to see anyone stand up to a 3 way grenade launcher.

[Cazzy]

The real question is, will anybody be able to hit anything with the tv missle?

[Deesies]

Aimed half way down the street, I imagine it'd be pretty easy.

[[56AB]W|Pvt.Dr.Zyklon]

reminds me of the nade machine gun in the hummer on AA

[Kalo]

Aimed half way down the street, I imagine it'd be pretty easy.

Sorry, but you are just over-exaggerating.

[Deesies]

A tad, perhaps. But you don't even need to aim the APC grenades. You just aim in the general direction of something and you're almost guaranteed a kill. Denying the thing is overpowered is either stubborness or you don't want your weapon of choice toned down :P

Hell, I can fire over the roofs of berlin and still get kills with this thing =/

[Kalo]

Weapon of choice? ill go with an FAV before i go with a crappy APC,

Its NOT overpowered, whats so hard to understand, APC! they carry troops INTO battle...I dont wanna jump out and be butchered cause no one cleared the way for me.

[Deesies]

The thing has something like 7 machine guns or something.

[Kalo]

Which are neglected to say the least takes a full APC to use it effeciently.

to be honest theyre easy to beat if you are in a squad with VOIP, ask a friend to distract it while you crawl under it and make it go Splody'.

[bonerfest420]

In the video, we see it jump obsticals. Perhaps the hover jeep could drive over water for short distances?

[Spodeboy]

It may receive like 50% damage for such a jump as seen in the demo movie.

[Senker]

I foresee me hiting lots of things full speed and dying is a ball of fire.
Just like Vanilla!LOL
Can't wait!

[Whiteplague]

the weapons on that Hachmoto make me "excited"

grenades, plasma cannons, TV guided missiles OH MY!

[Alaz]

Wow, I can’t wait to drive one of those. I wonder how many will spawn with each map?

Between one and three probably, depending on what size the map is and what mode it is. I'd guess that anyways.

[FireSoul667]

I haven't jihaded since BF2 but this looks like an ample opportunity
