We are happy to announce a new feature headed up by Roy Awesome called Patch Content Analysis! In the latest article Roy breaks down Game Update 04 showing quite a few new tidbits including some unreleased flash weapons and even artillery weapons for MBTs.
Hello Planetside Universe! In case you don't know me, I'm Roy Awesome, leader of TEST Outfit of Mattherson. When I'm not playing PlanetSide, I like to crunch through the files and find out exactly what changed in different patches. This article is the first of a series where I step through the files and break them down for you all to see. I originally wrote this article for the Reddit community, but Hamma has graciously allowed me to write these articles for PSU so I'll be hosting them here now.
Game Update 04 features over 7,000 changes to game files so be sure to check out the full article here.

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis So artillery is going to potentially look like every other MBT fielded? Would have hoped that this copy/paste of turrets and certing on the same chassis would've stopped by now. |

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis I'll likely do a GU04 rundown in video form soon. The timing on the update was just horrible as we were headed to MLG. |

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis I doubt it - but it's going to be a very interesting continent with trees that big.

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis If you're interested how big those trees are compared to Bio Lab:

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis There are so many awesome sci fi melee weapons that can be added. If you ever played cyberpunk 2020 they had these awesome melee weapons called wolvers. Pretty much a direct rip off of wolverines claws but they was real cool and a hell of a good time to use. |

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis Brass knuckles... a bit underwhelming for a big metal killing machine. Still missing VS/TR max shotguns and some mid range alternatives for NC. |

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis Why not a chain fist?  Or:  We already got chain blades, so it is the next logical step. I remember the old days of ps-2 when melee weapons were nice to use, I wish the place a hothey to draw it, like in BF-3, there is a button to quick stab and another to draw your knife. So maybe you can draw your knife, active it (buzz sound with NC, chain sound with TR, Glow lightsaber effect with VS) and you could 1 hit kill an enemy, alerting everyone nearby of your presence. |

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis
I did a rough estimate on size with the bounds. It was the largest object I've looked at, so I just checked out the base of the biolab and saw that it was a bit bigger. |

Re: Game Update 04 Content Analysis They'll probably grow bigger by the time we see them in over 4mths time
