Defiance: Sticky Grenades and Alien Aides

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/...nd-alien-aides

Quote:
Trion has shown off how you can quest and kill in the open world and take part in Defiance. For this particular round of previews, arena PvP combat was on display. Using your regular PvE character, you’ll be able to queue up for matches while running around in the overworld and then magically transport yourself into maps that can range from fights between small teams to bigger 32 player contests that allow for vehicle use.

Defiance’s weaponry includes the conventional and the strange. You can run around with shotguns and assault rifles, or switch to a grenade launcher that lobs up to five sticky explosives that can be detonated by reloading the gun. While this is great for setting traps around stages, the bombs also stick to players, which means it could be wise to time the detonation so it coincides with the moment the affected player runs into a group of his friends. Alternatively, if a player sees there’s a bomb stuck to his clothing, he could run at you, making it impossible to detonate the bomb without dealing damage to yourself as well.

WURD!

We had a very good show today at Gamescom, t
op PvP question of the day by the press..."Will Defiance PvP be available for eSport competitive play?" mostly followed with "because we thought it was absolutely amazing"

You can say as the PvP level designers and pretty much the one leading the charge for all of our PvP design I'm one happy camper.

Thanks JB, I'm super excited and thankful for the position I'm in. I've been working here for a year and a half and I can honestly say I've never had a bad day....pretty freaking epic

Additional Comment:

An interview I did got published...unfortunately no credit due but they had amazing things to say...

Quote:
"We only saw one map, allowing for teams of six to go head-to-head in battle, but it did a great job of proving how strong the shooter side of Defiance is. Combat was enjoyable, feeling like a mix of Gears of War and Halo."
Quote:
"Truth be told, the shooting mechanics were so enjoyable that we’d still be interested even if it wasn’t attached to an MMO. It was that fun."
