Im sure that this question is crossing peoples mind left and right. So let me give you a quick Preview.

Well we have 2 new melee weapons in and working with a possable 3rd on the way. More details about #3 later..

First one is the Staff.

The second Melee weapon is the Claws.

The the Bike has gotten a new paint job, and a complete rework. It is now (IMO) on of the better vehicles in the game. It rides smooth and has an arc that it can fire rockets infront of it. There is also an optional mouse steer, and JB is currently working on getting a wheelie in and working.

We are also working on making the Hoverboard redy for Prime Time. Unfortunatly we had to loose the idea of using your own weapons due to the way Epic set up vehicles. It seems that the driver of a Vehicle cant use their own weapons, but passangers can. Hmmmmm, Yes, there is a Vehicle in the works that allows that to happen.

So, in the mean time here is a shot of the Hover Board in its current state and the bike racing to win a game

More info comming soon

mmmm nice

cant you fool the thing into thinking your driver and passenger (that would allow wepons)

All very nice, think you need some kind of defence on the board, maybe a sheild that lasts 5 secs and takes 25 to charge that like 1/2s damage

otherwise your a sitting duck ....

Hoverboard only has 150 armor.

When I was still BTing, I tried the claws out, and I think I have a new favorite weapon

. I'm hoping there'll be a Chaos revival with the next patch thanks to:

Bike
Claws
Condensed server menu

Correct. However its pretty fast. Plus with its weapon it gives it some teeth. Thus we wanted to balance it with a low health as there really nothing to a hoverboard so it should not be able to with stand much. However the alt fire is a mini-sheild so it helps to keep some of the damage off. And we need to test this a bit more (or a lot) to see if what we set as intinal values are good or not. Maybe 150 is too much if we find the other values of the HB make it very over balanced...as it is right now its pretty hard to shoot down with the ARVIL...
