I really like that thing, because it deploys things like teleporters and all these different things on the map."

Discussion

Geist: Note that the "Roles" listed for the vehicles are not official, but this is what has been gathered so far. Of course, if anyone has better terminology, please adjust them! Also, I expect that as we get more and more info about the weapons and vehicles (esp. after demo and/or game launch), there may be reason to put this info in a better format in a subpage? Of course, once the game is out, the info doesn't serve much purpose here (since it will be on several other sites anyway), but it could still merit a place here from a modding standpoint!

UArch: in response to reverting the edit i made earlier: the canister gun is old news, the bio rifle is now a standalone weapon not part of the canister gun, its clearly visible in the new trailer here: http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/746/746631/vids_1.html and theres also a concept art picture here: http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/746/746631/img_4283827.html

Tgusagalpa: Is it not coming out for Mac?

Wormbo: No official word about Mac yet, but the same was true for Xbox 360 until a few days ago. Try asking in the [Epic Forums].
