Any speculations on what this will be used for? What do you guys think?

It better not have NPC's or a whole bunch of people will whine about how the only way to truly be immersed in the game and have good emergent gameplay with hardcore realism is to have PvP. Did I miss any buzzwords? Besided reminding everyone that the game is only alpha.
Probably something like i posted a while back.
Made in unity also.
You did a great job designing it, but I hope this isn't the case
How to make this!
1.
Download Unity 3D
2.
Download OneManArmy3D FPS Kit
Congrats! You have now achieved what this guy did, now go be proud of your downloading skills!
He never said he made it, just that he posted it.
Those sound effects........ they're terrible!
How come no one was driving? >.>

Yea sure and add jet's and rpg-s and an airstrike option would be cool.
Maybe its like a spotlight at night?
Perhaps it clears out areas full of zombies from above? That would mean players could swoop in and grab the loot the zombies leave. But perhaps there is a chance you could be mistaken by a zombie and get gunned down?
My idea doesn't seem very likely, but it's all I can think of. :P
Edited:
Yeeeah, we need kill streaks too. 25 kills and you get a nuke. Everyone on the map dies.
(Sarcasm) Do I need to make it clear?
My guess would be another type of drop. I can't see how a heli could be put in game solely for combat, since it would be overpowered as all hell, nothing could touch it.
I guess it will be a helicopter that patrols some area
Maybe just for transportation? There could be maybe 2-3 in the map, and clans\factions could continuously fight over them, build helipads on their bases with walled protection, etc.
I think there needs to be more things like that that the bigger clans can fight over to take some pressure off the smaller groups and lone wolves.
I would be okay with that, assuming it is solely for transportation. No reason to make clans even more powerful with a heli.
Like most games with vehicles, if you can drive them there's going to be people who take them and kamikaze into other players or bases.
Trello has been updated, the model dev working on it said something about improving the 'player view' so it would seem it will be something that can be ridden in.
Some of the 'best practices' for base building going to have to be rethought if you can drop folks down from up above.
Chopper gunner
you're going to need to bring coal to power it
why would you need coal? What is it a steam powered chopper?
PARACHUTES!!!
lemme just say that it's going to be dangerous
Put pillars on your roofs up high. So if they try to drop onto your roof they will take fall damage or die.
Unless their is some kind of rope/parachute thing.
Yes??...
And why not low grade fuel?
This is fantastic. And to all the people bitching about it being OP, band together to take one down or kill supposed "OP Clans" and steal it. That's the point of this game. Honestly this is a great idea, especially when dropping into loot areas and moving about.
1. No players will be flying it (....yet)
2. Hide
What if it's how you spawn? Helicopter flies in, drops you in the middle of nowhere, and takes off.
Edited:
...... uh-oh.
As long as bullets can't penetrate through walls, I'm fine with that.
Hehe, nice. So Gary couldn't talk you into a giant stomping on us and you compromised for a heli that will strafe us?
Oh don't worry, it'll have rocket pods to take care of your structure :D
That is a horrible idea. You guys seriously think that adds to the game in a positive way? Just my opinion.
You don't know what the rules of engagement for the helicopter will be, it's not going to be a randomly spawning base destroyer. It will however under some situations have the ability to engage structures.
If you want to talk about a horrible idea, it would be horrible if you could piss it off and then just sit behind 3 inches of steel and magically be protected forever
Could you explain? It should require a lot of matenience as well.
I've said enough :o
Haha of course
Edited:
I think the only thing you should be able to fire is your own homemade weapons and explosives
Thanks for the info, seriously!
Imagine this, large groups and structures being engaged....would make my day.
