Hm, I'm pretty sure there's no cutscene during the TF, but the SF has one. I think I know what thing you're referring to here, though...

Yes, sorry. I've never adopted the whole 'call it this on one side, but this on the other'.

I wasn't sure which side the cutscene took place on, but it's the one where you're rendered unconscious.

Definitely red-side SF. That cut *was* noticed. Everyone commented when I ran with the team in open beta.

I liked:

1. The better camera angles. Some cut scenes are just weird. This one is able to focus even on just a part of the scene. I liked where it just shows Reischman's (sp?) feet as he gets released from confinement. That was a very nice transition scene there. In fact, I don't remember the camera cutting around at all before.

2. The letter boxes as the scene ends. That was news. Nice work too.

Generally, I think part of the "story" aspects that people seem to miss in CoH is due to lack of nice cut scenes. I hope you do more like this, the game really needs it.

I'd love to see us be able to add cut scenes in the MA too. Just a thought.

There's a cut scene in there? The only one i can recall is the SF o.0 Which btw was wonderful Felt like a single player for a moment!

This. I've done the TF twice (scrapper and blaster) and I've seen no cut scene. And I was downright attentive.

EDIT: Just read BABs confirmation that there is no cut scene blue side. I'll stop posting from work just as soon as they catch me doing it.

Just found this thread, so I don't know if it's already been mentioned. Last night, on a new toon, I did another 'escort hostages out' mish. I noticed that once you rescue the hostage, he/she now has a little green arrow on the map.

(Yay, now I can tell when they stop following me.)

1. During Posi TF, the Abominations dont all start on thier feet, some are lying down. Nice touch.

2. During Posi TF, the CoT are using alot more "poses" as well.

3. During LGTF, if you lose one of the sisters, they run off to the nearest group and nuke. Very nice. (Helps them die faster).

Little things I noticed that werent in the patch notes.
