Reavers carrying 124 Air to Ground Rockets. That is a lot of volleys in comparison to the load outs in PS1. I can see the light bursts causing some serious problems on the ground. Basically, you shouldn't be running around on foot unless your at the battle. The NC are probably going to be on the bottom of the ladder for open field range from the weapons load outs. If that is so, then running on foot can cause us to be at a disadvantage as the other two factions will be shooting us beyond our foot troops LoS.
To be honest, with fraps and everyone having a blast, I think participation will snow ball. I know I have at least 5 RL friends that will rejoin KGB for this title.
