This may be a stupid question,but is the Fire Base the main UNSC base now?

I loved the huge base they had in their first video..how it had gates and such to.

I would be really dissapointed to know that the fire base is now the "main" base,and not just a outpost.

Same goes for the Covenant base.

Does anyone know?

Yeah, for resource management purposes it looks like ES changed the base into a BfME 1 type base setup; whats wrong with it anyway.

its not lettin me watch the new video

 i prefer it if u can put everything where u want it to go insted of getting a certain amount of places were your allowed to buld

 

wats it going to be lke?

I also loved the huge UNSC base from last E3. I'm asuming this will still be seen in campaign/maybe as a starting base for skirmishes.
The firebases seem more like extra deployable bases.

Let's hope the old bases are still in.

ya i liked the first one way better, mainly because it seemed like it was going to be sooo cool to defend the socket base system

No trespassing. Violators will be shot, and survivors will be shot again.

I don't like how it is so closely put together now. Makes it easier to destroy the base.

The buildings looked better back then.

 The Fire Base system should be an area that you capture and then deploy the Fire Base(during this time you can make only hogs and regular infantry would spawn untill complete, about three squads) and then the Fire Base deploys fully, allowing more buildings and units.

But I can deal with this new concept they made some what.

I didnt say their was anything wrong with it.

To me though most RTS games always make your bases look like crappy piles.

Of course this isnt a problem as you can only build 1 fire base in certain areas.

Its just that the concept of a huge organized base really looked great to me.

Not to mention neither the covie base nor the UNSC base really look like much of a base.

Just a outpost.

with farily plain buildings.

I was hopeing for more variety is all.

And some epic covenant looking city.

EDIT:Wow you people post fast XP this was in responce the the 2nd post.

I really hope we still get a main base :(

I like the idea of what you posted.

Sounds like it would work perfectly.

I for one would find it boring to only work with a small base that looks 100% the same all the time...not to mention attacking bases that always look like weak outposts.

And how awsome it would be to destroy every enemy base in your way to tear into thier main one >8D

I pray ES didnt get rid of one of thier best ideas :(

the quote above is from Lod3x, for some reason this time i couldnt get the box around it, my quote is below.

i was thinking (and hoping) the same exact thing.  maybe the socket system will be like a starting base and then the firebases are sort of like rallypoints/outpost so that we dont have to wait so long for units from our first main base to arrive on the other side of the screen. i sure hope the old bases are in somehow!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish a ES member would confirm it one way or the other for us.

So we can have our peach of mind when they tell us its still in,or so we could *** about how we want it back >:(

Lul

I too pray the main base is in because I'm gonna be pretty peeved if ES sliced out the main base in order to make the game more combat oriented.

I'm usually play on team games as a defender and if I get stuck with that green metal death wish they call a fire base I'm screwed as I see no real good way to defend it other than spending over have of my pop cap to try and creat a defendable perimeter. I hope ES remembers that not everybody plays rts's the same way. I'm either a boomer or a turtle, neither of which would fare well against aggresive player if that's all we have to work with.

I know exactly what you mean.

I more often than not always play on teams.

As I find it to be much more fun,and I also typically defend,and turtle.

Trying to protect the fire base looks like hell,and spamming a crapload of units to surround it doesnt sound fun to me.

i completely agree with both of you 120%. i tend to choose team games whenever possible and im usually the defender (like 96% of the time), every now and then i might rush someone just to change things up. but defending a firebase seems just about impossible unless u surround it completley with heavy artillery. the firebase ONLY helps the rushers but it screws everyone else.
