LOL @ all this 'turret' talk.

Bottom line, is there really anyone here who wasn't expecting to see THIS type of 'turret':

When they said 'turret' and 'Truck of Doom'?

if they do add a mounted weapon or whatever they better do it fast because that's pretty much the only reason why i bought a seasons pass in the first place other then the epic light sabers.

Final question: no, you can't shoot from the car.

truck of your own doom: it'll be just like the Cerberus in pvp when you can see bodies floating and wonder why you got shot out of it except this time it'll be npc's

Let's see latency. The passengers actually stay standing it the road where they entered the vehicle, so they can be shot from out of nowhere, the turret driver floats behind the vehicle. And that unforgiving acurracy you mentioned is actually every other bullet not doing ANY damage.

I am sure if I missed something, somebody will let me know.

Well, IMO, the biggest sources of the misinformation were Nathan calling it the 'truck of doom' and Rob Hill at E3 saying it would have a turret and IMPLYING a gun would be mounted on the turret. Naturally the media and players picked up on that. Rob definitely said we could shoot from the vehicle. It's about 30 or 40 seconds into the vid Muffinman posted in this thread (post # 39).

Didn't one of the live streams say that the reason that idea was scrapped was due to latency issues which is what I would assume is causing the cerberus issues? this is why people don't trust anything said by Trion anymore. Conflicting information on almost every front. It's getting to the point where we should ignore everything they say even when the patch goes live.

I do not believe that the problems in the game mechanics. Cerberus works fine in PVE, cooperative map "101 explosion".

I think the Raptor does not have guns because of game balance. Imagine the Arkfall. All players are coming by cars and shoot out the enemies with turrets. It will be very easy! As usual mission. Even one truck with a gun is almost a cheat. To take this into account, we need dynamic variables in the balance sheet. For some reason, no one even thought about it!

Pretty much this^^. I'm still waiting to find an orange drop from a mob that was confirmed by Sledge months ago. Maybe you have to kill enemies with the Raptor turret to get them to have a chance to drop orange items.

EDIT: And yes, I am aware of the post by TrickDempsey.
