    Why does that surprise you?  A fully loaded semi shouldnt weigh more than 40t (at least in regards to interstate travel) whereas something like an M1A1 comes in around 60t.  Of course, there are much lighter tanks out there.

    well im only lvl 13 or so. That actually one thing i like about the game. By lvl 6, stright out of the tutorial i could lift the 3rd heavist weight in the powerhouse. Not bad for a "nubie"

    I just did a quick peek at champions   in the open beta   and I really wasnt impressed 

    I played the champions tabletop game  but CO is nothing like the table game  the rules for power generation are totally nonexistant

    in champions game you get points to build your powers  or they also had certain premade  power packages

    I tried to create several charactors  and could never get one quite right  but i was also in a hurry so maby I was just missing the options I was looking for

    the game to me had a bit of a rough clumsy feel  and the world had a off artificial feel  I think they were trying to recreate a comic book but didnt seem to work 

    I tried a few powers (and these were only the most basic starting powers)  but seemed a bit clumsy to use  possibly with practice one could get use to them

    AGAIN the tutorial was another reading fest  with page after page of instructions to read insted of it done in game play

    and AGAIN  looks like yet another thug bash  exactly like COH  so if you like infinite grind fights  it looks like CO might be the game for you

    overall  if you really wanted to play a hero game  COH is the same exact thing  but much smoother and refined

     

    remember ive only seen a relativly small part of CO to base my opinion on but what ive seen seems to just be a poorly discuised copy of COH    I would not recomend champions online

    wait for a good game to come out or hold off on your purchass till they  have time to finish construction of the game  like 6 months or a year   sooner or later these game companies will stop dumping poorly made crap on the market

    im starving for a new game to explore and learn  but the best way to say it is that  champions online and also  fallen earth (failed earth)  are both raw and inedibitable.

    make a world, not a game, we dont want another game.

    you know i hear this alot, people saying "i cant really make MY hero, i can in CoH though" but the power generator is far more open in CO, i think i'll fire up FRAPS when i get home and record character generation cause i think a lot of people are missing "Custom frame works"

     

    That said, throw me a concept to build out

    So when do you get to create your Nemisis and when will they show up against you. Details are a little scetchy about this.
