Heh. If they raise the subscription fee for playing both CoH and CoV, I'm dropping CoH for CoV - CoV just looks SO much cooler.
WARWOLF!
Dawnslayer on Virtue.
There's no way I'm not going to have both. I mean the trailer displays the advantage of having both - HERO-VILLAIN BASE RAIDS.
So, I assume Lord Recluse has captured Statesmen and the others now? Because if Statesman wins somehow, that is TOO pro-hero.
Lets look at the facts
Hero Team:
Statesman (Injured (He is limping after that sword cut and is bent over)
Synapse (Knocked Out from ambush)
Manticore (Owned by that repitle guy and never seen again)
Positron (Owned by the controller and her big scorpion tanker buddy)
Jet Li (Sidekick (I believe, he seems lower level in experience and power (Owned like Positron)
Against
Evil Team:
Lord Recluse (Uninjured, never touched)
Big Armored Scorpion Guy (Wailing on Positron and Jet Li as they are knocked down
Reptileman (Beating the crap out of Manticore)
Gothy Controller (Due to hold) (Uninjured and helping Scorpion beat on the two or helping Lord Recluse)
Indian Katana Guy (Owned by an injured statesman, KO)
So the hero team is basically knocked out except for Positron and his Sidekick but they are badly injured if not KO'ed, and Recluse (An Arch-Villian himself) Is solo up against an injured Statesman. So I think Statesman will get a few reinforcements showing off the new powers (Sonic) before he is owned so the heroes can escape to avoid screwing up the plot.
Shows that Villians > Heroes though, haha
I wanna be a Big Scorpion Guy too!
*sigh* My girlfriend is going to E3. I, however, cannot.
That "Reptileman" is actually Lord Mako... so in reality, he's Shark Boy!
I wonder where Magma Girl is? 
AWESOME CGI movie.
Statesman looked bad-[censored] rocking the cape, and Positron's blast had the actual correct SOUND effect! The Widow's chick power seems EXACTLY what I wanted for a magic user type character...maybe I'll make my Dr. Fate clone after-all..but have him EEEEEEEEEEEEVIL. And now I want my Archery Defender even more. Electric Arrows!
Only thing that would make me happier is if States and Recluse started releasing some gameplay info at E3!
I wonder if that Jet Li guy is Kublai?

... I thought Scirrocco was one of the Surviving X (where X is a number between one and twenty 
)? I assume he's the katana scrapper... but man, how'd Lord Recluse turn him evil?

There's an exploration badge that goes something like "This is where one of the brave souls to take up the mantle of Scirrocco stood, and fell, to the Rikti invaders."
And a hero named Scirrocco used to be Serafina's master, and died in the Rikti invasion.
And, unless my ears deceived me, Statesman and crew said they were pulling that raid in order to retrieve "Serafina's Crystal"....
Also, I believe, per one of Manticore's "Web of Arachnos"-shilling replies, Scirrocco is somehow connected with the Cape of the Four Winds.
*looks at the martial arts guy* When did Kyo Kusanagi join the Freedom Phalanx?
That trailer was AWSOME
But I have now lost all faith in our heroes.
Evil Team: 1 loss
Good Team: 4 losses
All I can say is poor Synapse. He seems to be the red shirt of the bunch.
"Go <snicker> check out the building Synapse. "
"All over it!"
"Run this dynamite over to the bomb squad Synapse"
"All over it"
"Synapse,you lure them out side and we will stage an ambush."
"All over it!"
Poor, poor, Synapse his main contribution to the fight is to knock down his compainions.
On the other hand go Positron! Nice moves.

They're getting better though, last year Liberty and Brawler got pwnt by the FREAKSHOW of all people.
I thought Recluse sounded like Patrick Stewart.
Simply put: I'm more excited for CoV than I was for the last 4 and future issues combined. I can't wait to get into early beta and then pre-order. It'll be like rediscovering my love I first found for CoH when I logged in the first time all over again.

Can't... See... Must... See...
Why doesn't the trailer work!? RRRR! >_<
Poor Synapse! Recluse knees him in the nuggets and calls him Sally in front of his friends!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Synapse is a tool.

Random Jet Li ideas:
* He's a new trainer on the isle in issue 5.
* He's a new hero who's body was taken over by Sister Psyche in the events leading up to CoV
* He is actually a she, that's just Mynx without the catears

And I want this face for my main (me/VileTerror).
Though I'd have to change the colour.
My original comment about the Villains stands: they get all the cool costumes.
* plans daring rescue mission to liberate the awesome costume pieces for all heroes . . . or at least itself *
What exactly does Lord Arachnos mean when he says...
"Now, Statesman, let us see who is truly cursed!"
I'm thinking it will be explained in that book coming out soon...

Poor Synapse. Figure scrappers to go charging ahead
[/ QUOTE ]
Couple quick FYIs:
1) Synapse is either a blaster or a defender (I forget which) since he's supposed to have electrical blasts.
2) To all those who keep saying Scirrocco has a katana, it's actually more of a scimitar/falchion style sword, which keeps with the middle eastern theme. Not that it matters Not as if they're gonna add a "Scimitar" scrapper set or anything when the mechanics would likely operate the same as the katana set. Just have to hold out for when custom powers come out I guess.

Nope... still blocks the CoH and CoV sites since they are listed as "Games" sites.
