As fennster said.
And now you're just trolling
Just because it doesn't mention shooting, you would have to be a bit dim to think it wouldn't include it as an option, which is precisely what's included. As to the team deathmatch, its not like that, its more like capture the flag, but more then anything, it is it's own thing as it is not a separate game and is an expansion of what you can do in the Elite Dangerous universe. I for one am looking forward to helping some of these settlements get online, and then do missions for them where shooting may or may not be a part of the mission, oh just like the base game.
New game and ideas are always better. What's not so good is buying into a game and get that game railoaded into a completely different direction - that's online games.
Don't mind me, just quoting this for future reference.Surely you were both aware, at minimum, that 'Legs' aspects were planned? And it's not like they hid the combative side even in the synopsis ('board enemy vessels' etc).

They went into further detail in Newsletters of the time:
Newsletter 29: Lifetime Expansion Pass - to be withdrawn from sale
Newsletter 32: 'To Launch, and Beyond with the Lifetime Expansion Pass'
Just in Kickstarter materials alone there was plenty of forewarning of the direction of travel. (Not that Elite Legs having a 'Combat' strand should be that surprising really).

It's not like it's all some new development either. They've been trying to get both Legs, and Legs combat, into the Elite universe for over two decades...
On Waiting: Braben Has Wanted Legs in Elite Since 2001...
Just some fun quotes :) In the previous games the technology was not sufficient to give the player total freedom. In Elite, you couldn't fly over planet surfaces, but that was rectified in Frontier. In Frontier you couldn't get out of your ship, but we aim to rectify that in Elite 4. (Andrew...forums.frontier.co.uk
hoping that just maybe, one day, one day there would at least be a real spiritual successor as they say if not canonical. I am UTTERLY unenthused and I used to love this game how can FD be so ut of touch with its player base?So you really think there might be about the same amount of stuff that we've already seen in Odyssey that is being held back as big surpise at launch do you?
He is saying that there is more in the alpha than just run&gun FPS. He is correct. Whether you've personally seen it on youtube or not isn't really that relevant, I'd say. I can watch people play some new Fender guitar on youtube for hours on end and see nothing but endless and stale pentatonic riffs. Doesn't mean thats all you can do with the guitar, just means thats all youtubers know.
I've heard Braben talk about FPS almost a decade ago. I've seen concept art for FPS years ago. I've seen dev interviews where they talk about FPS. I havent seen FD be very excited about bringing 'making tea' gameplay though. Plenty of people are excited by what EDO brings. There is nothing wrong with having different preferences, but if you are 'UTTERLY unenthused' that you 'STILL cant make a cuppa', maybe you simply aren't part of the player base FD is catering to?3 years of secret squirrel Development for a mindless 2015 era space cod clone that doesn't even have a revive mechanic, soulless cardboard cutout stations, and tacked on foot expo mechanics that were clearly not even thought about for more than 5 minutes oh and no VR for legs anyway because it's hard to do???
we STILL can't get up in our ships and make a cuppa or have any agency with our surroundings, yea that went well... I agree with OP. as KK said fade to black.. because in odyssey we are SRP's "surface recon people"
you just dont get it do you? elite should be a place we would want to live in and that means tea and custom wallpaper... I must be over the target I'm getting flack already lolI've heard Braben talk about FPS almost a decade ago. I've seen concept art for FPS years ago.

On the bright side I've heard CIG talk about their exciting 'mixing cocktail' gameplay plans. It isn't quite a cup of tea, but maybe it is more up your alley?
I've seen him spitball random stuff into a webcam about it, sure. Still couldn't care less about this Fortnite-for-dads slideshow that'll need an 8 hour download, no matter what off-the-cuff musings got recorded back in the day.
Ok, enjoy!
