BFR playtest.

[_-Gunslinger-_]

Was fun. Got to kill one with my lancer. Thats a very effective weapon against BFR's thier acuracy is lacking and so you can snipe them. Wouldnt recomend using anything else really as they tore the hell out of infantry that go close.\

Anyone else on? What did you guys think?

[ORANGE]

totally missed it anyone get some screenies?

[Rbstr]

i got to gun for one, and disable one's shield.

I go tto use the Particle gun, it's not lal that strong bire fires decently fast, and the rocket launcher isn't all that powerfull unless you geat a dead on hit, but in 12 shot mode it can hurt

[Electrofreak]

As usual, per every playtest for the last month or so, it was conveniently scheduled for when I was at work. I only work like 8 hours a week, and only 2 days. The rest of the time I'm pretty much here at home sitting on my ass. Yet EVERY single test is when I'm there. Just my fuckin luck, man I'm pissed.

[Atlas24]

Yea, i was at work as well. Ah well, i don't care, i can wait.

Too tired to care :doh: post secondary is ruff.

[CassH]

that doesnt look good i hope they will let you change the turning to mouse looking around insteed of A and D and strafe with Q and E that will take some time to learn to move smoothly.

[SniperDude]

no kidding right, that would be horrible for control.

[Rbstr]

yeah it's like the old lightning, only with strafe

[CassH]

well i know that i will problem be changeing my key settings around for like 30min when BFRs come out then be in VR with one for another hour of 2 just makeing my movments smoth and easy.

[EarlyDawn]

colossus-gunner with rocket-things:We were actually half-truthed from the beginning. That's the mortar launcher.

[DropShipEdward]

aphelion kneels then leans back
backpack door opens down like a ramp
the gunner grabs shoulders
aphelion stands up as gunner pulls up legs and swings in and door closes, very fluid

[Indecisive]

Yup, I could of told you that. As for the Nc one, a platform comes down for the gunner ala Lodestar. Diddnt get a chance to hop in the mother empires's one for some strange reason

[SniperDude]

SWEET, what are the two massive cannons on the VS Colossus?

[Cauldron Borne]

Those are our Lightning-guns-on-crack

[Phaden]

i got to gun one withSamhayne tonight, Crazy fun. Those guns on the Peregrine gunner variant are huge, accurate and leave cool clouds behind. Def knocked over a couple more nme BFR's tonight. Also, is anyone sure or not if you can imprint BFR's currently? As i went down and hey turned off the Test server just as i would get my 10th, so next time i might be good to go!!! Also, to those who have piloted them, please explain how to get dif variants as i have heard they have to be earned.

[DropShipEdward]

Thanks for the pics and info, sorry for all the questions, i`m in japan right now doing my externship and have 2 months left till any hope to play PS :scared: :tear: :scared: :tear:

that colossus looks like that one robot from robocop, just need to see the BFR`s in NC colors :groovy: :D

whats that door thingy in screenie #7?

[hazzer2007]

you asked, so you get

http://members.lycos.co.uk/trickon/4images/data/media/21/NCscreenshotC.jpg

+ about the BFR imprint. Some guy in my test server outfit had done that and became a BFR pilot, but if it is that easy, how come we arn't all doing it, must be something else stopping you (i.e. perimition from DEVs, maybe they let some to take their places or to add numbers to the battle). But there was some activity in the cavens on monday but that was it, no-ware else
I am going to try it when the test server come online again (hopefully earlyer in the night, not fair at 11pm in the uK)

[hazzer2007]

whats that door thingy in screenie #7?

What, in the background of this

http://img35.exs.cx/img35/6907/PSScreenShot0101.th.jpg

It's the BFR sheds door, where you get BFR's

[DropShipEdward]

ok, thanks hazzer :groovy:

[martyr]

i need to point out that hazzer's perigrin (or whatever the gunvar is called now) are the old old shots.

the pilots' feet do not stick out the front of the model anymore.
