From Infinity Forums, credit to ThreeLefts:
As a Nomads player this hacker table looks awesome. Seems the types of hack are divided into different types of Hacks.
Seems the EVO repeaters spend an order to upgrade (SUPPORTWARE) a hacker within their squad.
I also like the idea of Hackers doing damage directly - rather than Guided Missile strikes only. I wonder what Hacking Device Plus will now do with N3.
If this is true - it looks good.

I'd guess the "damage" is more of a check to see if the hacking was succesful, similar to how E/M works. First the attacker rolls against his WIP to see if he succeeds in using the protocol, then the defender rolls to see if his firewalls are able to block the intruder. If the defender fails, you apply the effects of the used protocol. Very similar to how everything else already works in the game, so this will probably be a lot easier for new players to learn.
So the only hacking protocol that deals damage directly is Anti Hacker Protocols, but the target has to be another hacker.
Yes, but there are two variants in the AHP class:
1. Brain Blast
2. Sucker Punch
and two more Infowar protocols that can be used against a Hacker:
1. Gotcha
2. Oblivion
which, at least, is going to make the game interesting

I'd hope so! :p Would be weird for all those people playing Infinity. Haha!
I love me some cyberpunk - I also figured the 'damage' is the strength of the action vs the new posistive BTS statistic and if that's right I like it. Way more simpler. I also like the idea that some factions or equipment will provide more Hacking options like the EVO Repeaters in N2.
I need to know more! EVO Repeaters, Hacking Device Plus, Markers, Fast Pandas - what do they do Infinity Gods!?! What do they do ?!?... just take my money.

Am i missing something? I thought we should be seeing new videos this week in BoW for a new Infinity Week. Was that postponed or did i misunderstand the time frame?

Had the same thoughts. When it didn't start on Monday I hope it will stArt in the weekend. Otherwise next Monday, I presume.
With that N3 frame on the weekender video needing to be corrected that the Pre-Orders weren't actually available until the 13th (next monday), I think that's when Infinity week starts and they just showed that pic a little ahead of time without adjusting it.

Sucker Punch appears to be the Combined Arm version of Brain Blast. It's Pow16B1 instead of Pow14B2.

Gotcha immobilizes, while Oblivion causes "Isolation".
Sounds like CB is getting back to the Interventor's fluff about how combat hackers can and will cut troopers off from the Grid.
The best hackers and crackers of the Human Sphere are found in Tunguska. The Interventors give crypto logical intelligence support, with combat intelligence data and counterintelligence information.
Their main roll is doing electronic war and info-war operations. The Interventors are feared on the battlefield for their capacity to completely stop a whole army. With the communication lines cut off and the remote system collapsed, the soldier is alone. He hasn’t got aerial or artillery support or armoured support; he doesn’t know where his mates are or what’s happening in combat. He’s back in the Middle Ages. This is when all this technology, worm-eaten by an info virus goes against him. And the last thing his eyes will see is the electronic signature of the Interventor projected on to his tactical visor.

Sorry, Section9, I edited your post by accident instead of quoting it. I think it's fixed. The CA Sucker Punch seems to be designed for ARO (hence the name)

Video on LoL and retreat is up.
Command tokens look like fun. Moving models from one combat group to another sounds like something my NeoTerra will find immensely useful!
My FRRM as well. How many times did I wish I could merge my group survivors to feed orders to my specialists in my last turn?
Yup, though it would make Link Teams less powerful, I guess. If your Link Leader is down, you need to spend a Command Token to re-set a Team.
Unless, of course, you had a No. 2 model in it (so far, only the Wildcats had that).
And, of course, unless there will be something new about Link Team leadership in N3.

Looks like Morat are in for some treat in N3. I guess I'll start those xD

Depends.
In N2 you get three LT Orders across an ITS game which means a maximum of three reforms, also limited to once per turn.
In N3 I'm pretty sure four Command Tokens were mentioned (five for Sun Tze) which means you can reform more links in a game at the cost of not getting the other Command Token uses. Tohaa and Steel Phalanx players are going to love the chance to reform multiple links in the same turn.
Or just reform the same link more than once in a turn, for example when you start the turn with no link, reform it and then the Link Leader goes down.

True, however, in 2ed there were far fever applications for a Lt. Order than there are for Command Tokens.
Don't get me wrong - I really like the idea.
I just wonder on how it will affect gameplay. And, given the complexity of the system, I find it nearly impossible to nail it all down - too many things remain unrevealed, and I just instictively check the new rules against the existing (that is, 2ed) ones.

True. It does sound like N3 will take a while to get our heads around.

Yep!
I think the big thing will be unlearning what we know.
I haven't played Infinity for months (mainly due to N3 coming out), so my brain is like a sponge.

For me it get's harder to assess the changes with every detail revealed.
While things will stay about the same on first glance, all the details imply massive changes for actual game play.
Can't wait to get my copy to see everything.

Yeah, there's enough changing that we'll really only get a proper feel for it once it is on the game table.
