EDF5's theme may not be S-tier like EDF 4.1's, but rhyming "aliens" and "homosapiens" loving owned.

Good game!
It's a split thing. You get very powerful new toys (drones) because you don't have access to most of your remote bombing/airstrike arsenal in a lot of missions.

Yes, drones work in any environment, also some can 100% get you killed with friendly fire if fired from too close up.

I've never died from friendly fire. Unless I am myself considered friendly.

How friendly can fire be, anyway.

"The Air Force has honor too." is often the last thing to run through my head as Air Raider happens again.

It isn't on the level of half of EDF4.1, but there will be missions where there are restrictions on your stuff and it lets you know. Ranger took back its turrets.

It tells you now when you can't use airstrikes and vehicles!? holy poo poo. goty feature. EDF! EDF! EDF!

Now if it just lets me equip a normal loadout and a cave loadout and uses the appropriate one we are laughing.

It's not a real air raider weapon if killing yourself and your teammates with it isn't something you have to actively try to avoid doing

If anyone is planning on replaying EDF5, there's now a mod that auto-collects all drops at the end of the stage so you don't have to spend five minutes running around gathering every last box.

Im going to buy edf 6 twice so i can play it with all my pals all the time.

I am glad air raider remains the airstrike wizard but im also just kinda excited for all of them, i saw fencer go full mecha anime and i really hope wing diver is at a good midpoint between 4.1 and 5 this time around. I have no thoughts on ranger as ranger is always good.

So excited to Air Raid again. I’m going to blow the enemy up. I’m going to blow my friends up. I’m especially going to blow myself up.

The air force has honor too.

Don't worry they will be gone again in certain missions, op.

This game has the most player outfits of any mainline game I think.

That's pretty great for PC players! The game should just work like that, IMO. EDF is all about having fun and shooting bugs and the tedium of trying to keep an enemy alive while you run around and pick up colored boxes really clashes with that. It's really my only complaint about the series.

I can sort of understand the mechanic, it's very arcadey and when a weapon box drops within an easy reach, it's nice.

I'd replace it with end of mission rng. Or a bunch of item caches that you can destroy and get random poo poo.
