Demo Mission Observations

Just wanted to see if anyone else noticed at the end of the video that when the on foot players claimed to be onboard the ship and it flew away, the radar still showed the other two back on the ground. Bug or is the ability to board a ship still not implemented?

Feel free to add other observations to the discussion

It's a heavily edited video of alpha gameplay not one seamless take, they could easily of still been on the ground as the ship took off. Or just as easily be a bug. Who knows?

I did notice that.
 
Most likely it's because the boarding/disembarking animations, similar to what we currently have with the SRV, were not working or not finished in this version, so they faked it by cutting away. Look at how they edited around that both times (on landing and on takeoff), not even a fade-to-black. Game probably crashes or something if you try.

Arthur mentioned this was not played on the most recent build.

Edit: StuartGT said on Reddit that Arthur confirmed to him that embarkation wasn't working for them that day:

If that video was supposed to appeal to the FPS crowd then I have to say...”Lame”!!
Stroll in, no curiosity from the guards or drones. No tension to the fight. Poor reload animations.

Hope they have a lot more to offer. How about something else besides pew pew now?
 
Some NPCs being NPCs doing NPC things...
