Nice :D

I am worried about the caption under the pic on the second page about camping the spawn tubes. That would really suck if a squad camping the spawn tubes could keep defenders from respawning in their own base.

Kick ass!

Page 2 has the first shot of the Vanu AV MAX weapon! =)

I think one of the devs commented on spawn camping and two points that came up were:

1) Spawn rooms are often quite small, so only one or two enemies would be able to attack as you spawned.

2) You can spawn with your default loadout of weapons and equipment (I think), so you would not be completely defenseless.

You just gotta be ready, and chances our if your base is overrun with enemy troops, you will know, and when you respawn you can be prepared

Also in the top picture on the second page you can see a dead TR (red and grey coffin). They seem to look much better than in the last pic I saw of them. I used to think they looked really odd and out of place, but in this new pic they look kinda cool. :D

Nice find man. I wonder if there is a choice for the NC armor colors? Ive seen ones with mainly blue and mainly yellow, either way I don't mind but it just confuses me when I see both suits.:) Isn't the yellow the old model?

Unfortunately, it changes in the opposite direction you would like it too. The white on red(TR) looks really nice, but it also looks like it would stick out like a sore thumb. No CEP's for me ;)

well, first off.....the TR colors are black and red. black being the primary and red being the secondary (gets more red with higher battle rank)

and secondly, it isn't CEP that gives you the color change, its BEP. battle rank and command rank are entirely different. high command rank gives you additional armor graphics (epaulettes)

The new armor graphics give color changes as well, as a note. For example, the chest piece for the TR CEP is PURE white, and you can't miss it from a thousand yards out.
