So when the game hits next week who is everyone gonna mainly be in the online aspect of this game?

For me, I think im gonna mainly stick with the Mantel troopers seen as they are uber powerful and enemies light up like christmas tree's when your on Nectar.

I'll be the Rebels sometime I expect as it sounds like it could be funny to see you make people overdose online and play dead, jump up and shoot them but the novelty might wear off.

probably rebels but will mostly switch back and forth

I'll stick with Mantel. When you think about it, the rebels don't have much gunning for 'em. The weapon steal will really only work if you sneak up on the guy, and once people get use to the play dead ability, they'll just pump a few shells into the rebels "invisible" bodies. So the only consistently useful ability will be using grenades as mines and the nectar grenades . Personally I would rather have super soldier abilities.

hmm well the rebels look alright but the mantles look ace. i think rebels are good in that they can play dead therefore mantle soldiers cannot see em and that they can cause a mantle soldier to overdose by throwing a nectar grenade,, whereas the mantle have the ability to use nectar to boost there skills such as they will be able to see comouflage soldiers as they show up a heat/ white, yellow glows im not too sure what else mantle soldiers can do atm lol will have to see when i play the game. therefore atm I'm not sure who i will prefer

I think i'll balance it out. Rebels have the weapon steal, and sick-ass nectar knives. I dont count the play dead because everyone just shoots or melee's your corpse even when you're dead. I like the whole nectar thing, and i dont value the whole moral thing either.
Plus there is a twist at the end which kind of unravels merinos ideals.

i stick with mantel..if your on nectar, (and the pitol is a 2-shot kill) you can snipe with the pistol. (snipe with any weapon actually)
