unfortunately even if you were he would not be allowed to say, those NDA's are nasty creatures.

I hope so. Right now, I'm trying to figure out what the Devs would give us if they decide to give us a new weapon. The Beam Rifle cert and/or a brand new Assault Rifle weapon?

I think it will be the E-web, but you wont be able to use it unless you in a group of a certain size. If not the E-web then the Assault Rifle or some kind of Ranged Weapon since thats what we lack.

it wouldnt make any sense to restrict the eweb based on group size, though. if you have to set up a tripod and remain in one position, you better have people with you to defend the position, but hey, if you wanna be a lone gunman its your funeral. i think that makes a bit more sense.

While I can't say what the new weapon will be (NDA snipers don't you know), I will say that CURRENTLY we are scheduled for at least 1 new weapon...and it's a weapon very much unlike what we currently have...
Remember, everything I tell you guys is always subject to change...but the time we go live we could be easily getting no new weapon or getting several new weapons...it's hard to tell especially when testing hasn't started yet...take the Razor Knucklers for TK's as a perfect example...those bad boys made it all the way to TC awhile back, but then a certain bug was found that meant they had to be pulled before hitting the Live Servers...same thing could easily happen to any of the new CU weapons coming out...

Feeling a little like Jesse "The Body" Ventura from Predator, are we?

I'm thinking that we probably will be getting a new something, based on some of the tiny tidbits dropped here and there.
Whether that new something is a weapon or skill, I haven't a clue.

We might get the short stick... wait, we already have it.
Well.
We are getting low on hope for now.
Well.

So what are they waiting for re: starting the Sandbox testing? Have they given you an idea of when that want to start? You don't need to tell me when, just an idea if they have told you when they want to start. Soon I hope.

They haven't given us a approximate start date of the Sandbox testing....but I do know for a fact there were people working at SOE over the Thanksgiving Holiday (obviously SOETyrant has that name for a reason 
)...Most of us believe testing could and will start very soon....we are still discussing the specifics of the various Professions currently which I know will effect how they will all initially appear on the Sandbox (which may mean they are waiting for us to complete that line of discussion before plugging in the final numbers)...
To continue on with the Speculation on new weapons, I'd love to see folks list all the new weapons they'd love to see add to Commandos...Like I said, we are currently scheduled for at least one new weapon and could possibly get more...So I'm open to suggestions for what to push for...Feel free to do a search on the forums for .tre files to maybe see what new weapon graphics have been added to the game over the last several publishes...maybe we can get one of those weapons or maybe those weapons will inspire ideas for new weapons you'd like to see...
Focus on things you feel we currently lack for the most part...
