PVP arena mode confirmed - xBox Trailer

[Engadine]

I think its great welcome xbox players at least they get a chance to learn part of the game.

Fixed it for you......

 

[Mack]

I wonder if that means the Xbox and PC/Mac Universes will be separate .....?????????#

 

[Sanderson]

There are new features and content coming that will be released on PC and Mac first. PC remains the lead platform for development, in this instance CQC fit the Xbox One release.

Everything is developed on PC and how does this not fit PC? Come on, that's the weakest excuse I think I've ever read.

Because PC release was last year. For Xbox release this extra feature might generate additional interest, that is why it is good fit for Xbox.

Hey, the old Elite : Dangerous trailer with all the combat around the station looked really great too. And look at the difference with what we have...

 

[Trinity Star]

This is all very good but where is my Anaconda paint job? And fixing the current iteration of the game might be nice to.......

So it won't run on PC? How, please tell, does this not also "fit" PC?

Come on, this is simply a business deal and any other excuse or claims of "fit" is total rubbish.

It's meant to stand for Close Quarter Combat isn't it? As of metal gear solid 3 fame.

LOL. Been around a lot longer than that.

The original was the first game I played on my first computer. Special memories. However, I love the idea of CQC. It looks great fun. Something else to do when you grow tired of exploration, trading, mining, powerplay, supporting your local faction etc.

Im sure there's some exclusive PC news coming later, so chin up and enjoy. It's only a game. If it's getting you down, go smell some flowers, play with your kids, stroke a dog.

Elite: Arena Commander?

Ok so i understand the need for an Xbox One release, increase sales, increase revenue, more customers, bigger player base etc. blah blah.

And i can sort of understand the need for PVP arenas since this game is now moving to consoles and the Console Plug and Players will want that instant gratification.

But my big concern now is, how do you balance the game; if the Xbox player base exceeds the PC one are we looking at ED turning into Call of Duty in space?

Im afraid Elite Dangerous could be losing its essence now it has gone the way of the console; I mean PVP arenas, were just talking Star Citizen copy and paste here; I thought ED was unique and wasnt going to go the same way of other games, i guess i was wrong...

We're all on one big server together so if FD decide that its better to please the Xbox plug n players we could see ED going in a whole different direction and PC players just have to chew the cud and follow along ringing their bells!

But "Money talks" as they say...

Michael

Agreed, please unveil something about the 1.4 update for the PC and Mac players? Then we have something to look forward to.

Training for over 25 years in various CQC styles, I though Close Quarter Combat. It also saved my life twice while in Afghanistan. I am from the US of A.

 

[Ulysses_W]

first article for me:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CQC

• Close Quarters Combat a type of warfare
• Caiga Quien Caiga, an Argentine television show
• Care Quality Commission, a United Kingdom health and social care service regulator
• Catoctin Quaker Camp, a summer camp
• Centre for Quantum Computation, an alliance of quantum information research groups
• Central Queensland Aviation College's ICAO airline designator
• China Quality Certification Centre's China Compulsory Certificate safety mark

China has a safety mark? :S

 

[Kris]

Come on, this is simply a business deal and any other excuse or claims of "fit" is total rubbish.

What other excuse?

I think Michael also meant business fit (as i said to give Xbox release some additional features to bring new players).

 

[CMDR Brock Samson]

Don't panic guys.It's gonna be alright.

 

[lilikin]

Could not agree more, first real content looking update and it's Arena, would have been much better if it had been some pirates base for a mission in game.

BTW Arena Commander in SC is awesome

Our money didn't do any talking in the end......

 

[Kayweg]

Looking around the forum, i have a better suggestion.....QQC

 

[Cosmo]

They should've picked a short name like "Close Combat". CQC is a bit too long.

 

[Senex VII]

You do realize that the poor people at the Care Quality Commission are scratching their heads and wondering why their website has had more traffic in the past hour than it did in the whole of the previous 12 months.

 

[Scudmungus]
