Thoughts?

[SKYeXile]

Can it be used as an AMS?

That landscape looks rather lush!

He doesnt reply to me on twitter asking him that. :(

Looks dangerous for a grunt to be standing in. Could have someone crouched 2 feet away and not notice him.

[Squeegeez]

I was beginning to think Planetside 2 had lost it's beautiful lushness of it's predecessor. This image is full of life. I would love to see the animation for the max jumping out of the side door, but no more vehicle animations right? It's a shame.

On a less serious note: can we get those hilariously awesome rubberbanding physics that let us launch sunderers across continents?

"Seems like you guys like the Sunderer more than the Galaxy, Lightning, Quad or Liberator? I'm kind of surprised. Go Bang Bus!"

BANG BUS

[basti]

This comes via Facebook, so cant give you a link. But thats what higby said:

About sundy = ams:


We have that as a configuration currently no promises on if it'll stay that way though

[Coreldan]

I wonder how that (AMS) goes with them saying Sunderer is much more armored this time around o.o

[duomaxwl]

It's really starting to look like I will be too preoccupied with this to finish my degree on time.

What you don't see is the NC soldier just off behind the tree about to put a rocket into the side of that evil TR :evil: Sunderer.

[FIREk]

The image looks lovely, but I can see myself being pissed about not being able to see anyone in all those bushes. In certain areas it's gonna be Battlefield 3 all over again. :<

[MgFalcon]

I thought Smed said he was gonna nerf the trees!

oh the things i'll do to your corpse, behind the bushes :evil: :evil:

[NCLynx]

Can't wait to hop in that thing. Running people over with that will be so fun.

[Johari]

Awesome to see my Sundy ingame again. Now all I need is my horn and we're back to the Fraggin' Wagon.

[Raymac]

Not sure what I like more in this pic. The bang bus or the bush.

I can't wait any longer for this game. Just start beta now. I don't care if the dough isn't cooked yet and I'll get worms, just let me sink my teeth into this bad boy.

agreed. just look at that tree, too

[Crator]

Those trees look real... How u do dat? :)

They took a tree somewhere, chopped it down, and forced it in the DVD slot of a PC.

[acosmo]

thats sounds almost as painful as... eww it just hurts thinking about it

[SgtMAD]

now if SOE would give the Bus a cloak it would be the perfect ams,it can fight, haul defenders and EMP, a truly battle-ready AMS

[Zenben]

yea, I'm feeling the 5970 choke already.

Dual HD 6950s with an i7 3960x (which I will OC to 4.2) inc *fap fap fap*

[EASyEightyEight]

Ah... the joys of forest combat.

I don't see the point in going "yay, it's not a desert!" then immediately proceeding to ask/complain about turning it into a green desert so that guerrillas can't hide in the bush while they non-chalantly parade across a grassy meadow.

I for one, welcome that SOE will finally force players to adapt to the environment for an advantage over others, as opposed to allowing them to simply shut it all off for their convenience/advantage.

[Jimmuc]

the sundy looks kinda like a deli-sunderer hybrid to me but love it anyways. i also love the foliage and like Easy88 said i welcome the ability to hid in bushes.

[cellinaire]

Hehe also reminds me of the Crysis1 and Far Cry2... pretty beautiful picture and I personally see trees and bushes as variation, well if these are not too abundant(not talking about jungle continents here) and gameplay-ruining obstacles.

[DviddLeff]

Only way foliage could be an actual problem is if it can be turned off. If its the same for all then it adds to gameplay massively.

I really hope he Sundy has a spawn feature like the gal.

[Xyntech]

Indar is pretty cool, but... Yay greenery!

I wonder what sort of guns we'll be able to put on that thing.

[Sirisian]

That's my fear as it often comes to that for multiplayer games. Play as the game was intended as max settings or Drop all the bars to low for an advantage.

[Captain1nsaneo]

I'm looking at that flowering bush over there. Never thought about the botany and range of things that could be growing besides: Bush, Tree, Grass. Looking forward to more.

As for the Sundy.

I can't wait to use it as a drop pod.

yea always the problem with foliage, an advantage to those who turn it off. i jsut hope though there is no COD or world of tanks cover where you automatically blending in with foliage.

[Tikuto]

I thought Smed said he was gonna nerf the trees!4th Empire of Trees must be stomped! :mad:

[NewSith]

Hmmm. Is that black armor on the SS?

Nanite Systems.

[Canaris]

Great to see the mystery adventure tour bus is back, I loved jumping aboard them back in the day and going off on adventures lol

I thought Smed said he was gonna nerf the trees!

he got out voted, YAY tree's!
every screenshot I see make me just that little bit greenier with envy ;)
anyone taking bets on which cont that is?

[Was_Ash_Emerald]

I hope they make it better than the original one.

I don't know what happened after summer 2005 when I quit, but the Bang Bus was probably the single biggest soft target in the game.

I use to rape those so easily.

Anyone who had a clue used Deliverers to move ground troops.

Odds are it's still Indar, only a different biome. ;)

[NewSith]

Nanite Systems.

I'm talking about the guy, not the sundy.

[Figment]

Wait what, who said he doesn't like Sunderers!? D:

BigOne's Memorial - YouTube

Will see if I can organise something like that again. :P

(Unlike the video suggests, that's not what it was planned for actually - just plain ol' fun, but coincided with a funeral event on TR, as such the tribute is fair enough :)).

[PoisonTaco]

While the foliage looks really nice, I just hope it doesn't mess around with frame rates when a couple hundred people are fighting there.

[Crator]

You didn't hear, Foreglight is magical! ;)

[EVILoHOMER]

I would love to see this vehicle be merged with the AMS, you cannot get rid of the AMS for the spawn on squad mechanics because it's retarded. The worst thing BF introduced was this so you can be shooting one person and suddenly you get killed by two spawning on him......... so dumb. The AMS was so much better so I'd rather they have that in there than spawn on squad.

[acosmo]

i think sundies will be like empiresmod apcs

[Hobitt]

Improved it a bit

[MooK]

I prefer the lighter, more mobile vehicles (from the first, that is.) I love me some Deliverer and Harasser. QQ.

[acosmo]

i think the sundy will be quite maneuverable. just because it's named the sunderer doesn't mean it'll be target practice

[Figment]

It's clearly not amphibious though, so we'll probably see Deliverers return?

[SKYeXile]

i thought we had seen one already?

[SuperMorto]

Love it, and the foliage is looking very good!

Higby I demand some rain or weather pix :)

[Figment]

I only saw that nude Sunderer pic (no textures). >.>

May have been mentioned before...


But how can Higby call himself NC and NOT show us Thunderer footage!? D:


I want my Thundy... :cry:

[acosmo]

sorry fig-bro, deliverers (and variants) are confirmed for not being in ps2

[Azren]

That vehicle is way too high, especially with the guns on top. It will be just a huge target like the current one, not able to defend itself from close targets. They will have to add some special feature to it, or it will never be used.

[Captain1nsaneo]

See those windows on the back? Those are gun ports.

[MooK]

Another disappointment for me. My favorite role was always deliverer/harasser, and without the deliverer, or harasser, I'm definitely not pleased on that note. I am, however, hopeful for infiltrator.
