Q? Will the dedicated servers show the ping?

Hey guys.

Just wondering if the Demo we have all recently recieved has been improved upon as of late?

some things such as graphics, fuctionality, melee attacking, all felt uninspired and dissapointing.

split

I'm going to make this very simple.

I thought you guys would understand after ALL THE HORRIBLE COMPLAINTS ON UT3...but maybe you don't actually PLAY video games...

Why, oh why, please tell me

WHY WOULD YOU EVER MAKE A SHOOTER WITHOUT A HORIZONTAL SPLIT-SCREEN OPTION??????

This is simply a neanderthal-like move.

You've taken a potential Halo-killer and mamed it.

Please. God. Tell me you are going to implement this on the final release.

I actually liked the vertical split...it fit quite nicely on my 47" TV =)

Question #1

Will there be access to player skins/items like in Warhawk?

4 days ! That’s what separates some of you from the moment you’ll have your hands on HAZE!

For some of you, we are D-7 before HAZE hit the shelves but I have no doubt you are all as excited about playing it as we are about delivering the game to you!

We are extremely delighted to share with you some of the first scores we got from reviews. While I won’t go through details, we are thrilled with the excellent 34/40 (9 / 8 / 9 / 8) by Famitsu and I could also mention other great results HAZE got, such as a 9/10 on the Playstation Magazine in Italy!

OK, to the game... Today as many of you continued to ask for details, I wanted to do an insight on the Multiplayer statistics system. First what you guys might want to know is that HAZE multiplayer games use different scoring systems depending on the multiplayer mode chosen. In Deathmatch for instance, merits are awarded to a player for each opponent they slay, and deducted for committing suicide. At the end of the game, the player with the most merits wins. Likewise, in Team Deathmatch, merits are awarded to a player for each opponent they slay from the opposing team and deducted from a player for killing members of their own team or committing suicide. At the end of the game, the team that has the most merits combined wins. Concerning Team Assault, games are won and lost based on the completion (or prevention of completion) of objectives. However, merits are awarded for a variety of actions and can be used to help determine the relative usefulness of players.
At the end of each game, you will be able to cycle between the score screen, trooper and rebel merit screens, a stats screen and an awards screen. There are several different awards that are distributed based on playing styles, and not all of them are desirable!
If you are interested in knowing what the merit awards are, I suggest you give the images and descriptions below a look


Rebel only merit awards:
1. Causing an overdose
2. Causing a multi-overdose
3. Indirect kill (via an overdose)
4. Successfully playing dead
5. Weapon steals
6. Booby trap kills

Trooper only merit awards:
1. Melee blast kills
2. Surviving overdose
3. Kills whilst dosed
4. Kills whilst overdosed
5. Perfect nectar dose
6. Destroying booby traps


[Click to enlarge]


General merit awards:
7. Completing a primary objective
8. Completing a secondary objective
9. Enemy kills
10. Assist kills (causing significant damage without landing the killing blow)
11. Total merit score


Now I hope you have a clearer view of what you can expect regarding Multiplayer stats and I hope that it will help you enjoy the 16-players mode even more!
To finish, an update would not be a proper one without our traditional Q/A so I brought some answers from devs

See you next week!

’Wuzzi


Will Haze have a mandatory install?
[DL] You will need to go through a minimal install (about 4 Gigs) but not the whole game.

Is friendly fire ALWAYS enabled for both sides?
[DL] Yup. Overdosing a trooper wouldn't be much used if he couldn't shoot his friends! The moral of the story is: watch your fire!

How many maps are going to be on the online gaming ?
[DL] In addition to the whole campaign playable in coop, you mean? Well, we have 12 levels which are made of two variants each of six locations.

Will there be a mapmaker and an option to put these maps online, like in Timesplitters?
[DL] We could add it in but we'd have to delay the game for another year or so - any takers?

Will there be vehicles online?
[DL] Yes! All of them!

Will the vehicles be Sixaxis motion controlled? What are vehicles controls?
[DL] Vehicles are controlled using standard pad controls; point the stick in the direction you want and push the R2 button to go!

When driving a vehicle, will there be an option to view from in the car?
[DL] Not unless you have a PS3 in your own car.

Any secondary functions for the guns?
[DL] You mean in addition to being able to scavenge, weapon steal, lay mines, roll grenades along the floor, melee kick or create nectar grenades and nectar knives? In that case, no

Nice, thanks for the update Wuzzi =)


Morne

no word on the demo huh...oh well. thanks ubi

thanks for the update

thanks all that info was GR8 especially the way u get merits 4 making a trooper overdose & kill his own team - however i would like 2 know if the demo of HAZE is what the games final graphics look like because all of the recent in game screen shots iv seen look a lot better than that of the demo

Hey Ubi, the map editor question...obviously it's not going to happen w/ the launch of Haze...but is it a possibility for additional DLC down the road? We've already seen the interviews where Rob was discussing the additional maps that are already in existence/created...as well as his musings on additional game modes... So, is it beyond the realm of possibility to also assume that a map editor could be included in future updates?

Morne

Im really looking forward to this game. I have played the demo and love it. Your jungle envioment is awesome for the demo and game.

I only have one question.

Did you guys remember to add us left handed gunners to the options. Bet cha didnt

Well I went and bought a new Bravia for this game. Left handed gunners or not Im in..

**p.s. remember us next time if you forgot us this time Thanks for anwsering so many questions too. I think you covered all my other questions as far as I can see. Thanks UBI!!!

hi i got 3 questions for you

1 will there be any home support
2 if it does have will threr be any trophys in the game
3 will there be ane DLC

Nero_1 - The controls will be completely customizable in the full version. I would imagine that includes right hand and left hand controls.


Satans - There're several DLC related interviews out online already...one of which is located here .

Morne

WELL IM GETTING PISSED OFF!!!


I AM A HUGE FAN OF THE GAME, I HAVE PREORDERD MY COPY FOR THE LONGEST TIME, AND I HAVE BEEN ASKING A QUESTION HERE WITHOUT GETTING AN ANSWEAR....


THIS IS MY THIRD TIME ASKING,


WILL THEIR OR CAN THEIR BE ADDED, 3 LEADER BOARDS INSTED OF 1... ONE SHOWING YOUR KILLS AND DEATH FOR MANTEL, ONE SHOWING IT FOR THE REBELS, AND ONE FOR THE TOTAL KILLS AND DEATHS,,,,


NOW I KNOW THE GAME IS ALREADY LIKE MADE AND **** BUT CANT THEIR BE LIKE A PATCH YOU INSTALL BEFOR PLAYING THE GAME THAT MAKES IT LIKE THAT.... IF ITS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GAME ALREADY THAT IS...



A SIMPLE YES OR NO WILL BE ENOUGH....


I AM COUNTING DOWN DAYS FOR THIS GAME, I HAVE PLAYED THE DEMO OVER 30 TIMES!!! I AM A HUGE FAN I I CANT EVEN GET A SIMPLE QUESTION ANSWERD!!!!

enought of people asking questions over and over again, almost all of these questions have been answered by now, and if they have merits for the different factions I don't see why they wouldn't have the 3 boards thing, but Nimer55 you realy need to stop asking if it hasn't been answered yet, by now I doublt it will be answered so just wait for the game to come out and then your question will be answered.

Hey Nimer, before you get in trouble, I strongly suggest you take a look at the screen shots that Ubi_wuzzi JUST barely posted today. They clearly show tabs for the different sides at the end of the match. Take a few moments and read responses before you flip out.
