So do we.

Any chance you could quickly get me that scythe screeny in bigger? gonna Photoshop it and use it as my new twitter avatar, it almost got the perfect angle! :>

edit: nvm, it is quite big already, i need to open my goddamn eyes! :D

[GTGD]

Crossing my fingers for a Christmas present from the PS2 team.

I've been good this year!

[Squeegeez]

No, thank you. I guess this means I should enjoy my holidays and stop checking PSU daily, haha.

[LongBow]

tbh ... I'm just hoping for a screenshot compilation of the teams most epic lunch post to date ... the "Christmas lunch post"

SOE, enjoy your holidays; 2012 is gonna be a long one!

[Vash02]

Hello you sexy flying beasts

[NewSith]

MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! We also appreciate your hard work and your excitement, I for one love the smell of fresh dev reply in the morning... :D

[Zenben]

Wow, so pretty. Some of the best looks we've gotten at the those two so far. I notice what appears to be a set of optics under the cockpit of the reaver, much like what you see under the nose of an Apache. Wonder if that will be functional, like an IR camera for night ops.

[SKYeXile]

man the reaver looks like such a brick compared to the scythe though.

higby, whats the squared cm of each aircraft?

[CrystalViolet]

sexy planes are sexy. Thanks devs.

[Raymac]

Man, every time a new screenshot gets released, I get this big grin on my face and think "hehe I'm totally going to get to play this game"

I don't even know what I'm going to do with myself when we start getting more trailers and gameplay vids.

[Biohazard]

If there was a higher resolution version of that second pic, that would instantly become my desktop, if it was higher resolution.

[NewSith]

I don't even know what I'm going to do with myself when we start getting more trailers and gameplay vids.

Probably having good times with your lady dressed in Reaver cotume? As in: "Now I'm gonna load your trunk with AV, babe!"

"Here comes the rocket spam!" :lol:

[SKYeXile]

"Here comes the rocket spam!" :lol:

i was thinking the guys voice from world of tanks when you get a penetrating shot.

"PENETRATION!"

[CidHighwind]

Special thanks to you guys! Have a great holiday! Looking forward to more fun in 2012!

Thanks Matt! Two aerial combat photos, just like I asked for! May your NC stocking be filled with many TR dog tags!

[Crator]

Aw see, they do love us :) Nice pics!

[Crator]

I don't even know what I'm going to do with myself when we start getting more trailers and gameplay vids.

I'm thinking the PR laid out by the community, armed with such material, is going to be epic!

[MgFalcon]

Next year is going to be HUGE for Planetside 2, we have a lot of seriously exciting stuff planned and hope you’ll join us for the ride.

I got goosebumps! Thanks to the Dev team and SOE! I vividly remember Smed tweeting out the concept art of the Vanguard wayyyyyyyyyyyy back when... I literally shouted profanities in excitement in the middle of URI's quad... not that such an instance is an absurdity :)

[Hyncharas]

Definitely something to whet the appetite of gamers. Thanks!

[Snowfake]

Wonder if the Scythe has done away with weapons and is just going to impale everything it sees :)

[Traak]

You're welcome.

[Aaron]

Have a good one, Higby & team!

[Alaska]

You guys are the best! Hope the whole team has an amazing Christmas and can't wait for all the fun 2012 holds for us. =]]

[Bags]

The iron hats of Christmas. Unperturbed by any passing zephyr.

[Xyntech]

Dat second pic.

*drool*

I'm pining to fly that thing so bad.

Cool to see some Forgelight watery goodness as well.

Hope all the PS2 dev team have an amazing holiday.

[dachlatte]

i wish the entire planetside 2 team and everyone on PSU happy holidays. see you next year

[Saerain]

Cool to see some Forgelight watery goodness as well. What water? Isn't that all sand?

[Hamma]

Awesome :rofl:

[Infektion]

cool second pic, a scythe moments before it kills 2 reavers.

no... it was actually a moment before that scythe turned into a fiery ball of metal and flesh.

So when the scythe gets taken down, does an angel gets its wings?

[vampyro]

The designers must of watched Battlestar Galactica. The VS aircraft looks like a cylon raider. What a ripoff lol.

[Zulthus]

Battlestar Galactica is related to space. Star Trek did it first. What a ripoff.

[CrystalViolet]

The designers must of watched Battlestar Galactica. The VS aircraft looks like a cylon raider. What a ripoff lol.

The Galactica designers must have watched The Phantom Menace, the Raider design looks like the droid fighters from that movie. What a rip off lol. :rolleyes:

Anyway, from the concept designs, I definitely think they picked the right one.

[CuddlyChud]

I actually kinda like the lower left one in the concept art. I wouldn't have minded seeing that one instead.

[Raymac]

The designers must of watched Battlestar Galactica. The VS aircraft looks like a cylon raider. What a ripoff lol.

And Battlestar Galactica "ripped it off" from the Batwing. How far back do you want to go?

It's called "inspired by" and every tv show, movie, and especially video game does it. Personally I'm glad it's vaguely similar to the cylon raider. Before I ever saw it, I was hoping it would look something like that.

[Alaska]

The Planetside 2 site just updated! :D

[Raymac]

The Planetside 2 site just updated! :D

Kick ass! Nice find.

Even though it's the official site and all, I usually come here for my news so I don't go there much. Thanks for the heads up

[NewSith]

Good design is good...

[Squeegeez]

No, thank you. I guess this means I should enjoy my holidays and stop checking PSU daily, haha.

I'm so glad I didn't listen to my own advice and still checked PSU incessantly, woo new website and beta sign-ups! Merry Christmas indeed! =D
