where?

[Hamma]

Whoops.. haha. Fixing

[Hamma]

Totally my fail - updated OP.

[DirtyBird]

I appreciate the pictures but when it said analysis I was expecting a bit more writing in the presentation about the results of the GU content.
Or a video like Hamma has done in the past.


But the pics are nice.

[Hamma]

My videos never go this deep - they are more high level overviews :D

[Electrofreak]

Oh, damn, these are some pretty neat sneak-peeks! I'll bet T-Ray is grinding his teeth right about now... :D

[ThePackage]

Excellent format, great work Roy

The problem is all of this content is extracted from the game files and rendered. There is no way to know what they do (yet) as they aren't usable ingame. I can only guess at what these things do.

[Sledgecrushr]

First off Roy Awesome very good work. So it looks like max units are getting melee weapons. This is very exciting news to me. From the images the vs are getting a sword, nc is getting a hammer and it looks like the tr are getting some kind of power fist. I really hope this contnet is released when maxes get a makeover. I will definitely buy the nc storm hammer.

[DirtyBird]

Obviously I've misunderstood the subject.
I was expecting analysis of the game content delivered in GU04 as per the GU04 patch notes. (http://wiki.planetside-universe.com/ps/Game_Update_4_(2013/03/13))
From the subject I wasnt expecting to just see a slideshow of extracted models etc using Gelnika's ps2ls (http://www.planetside-universe.com/showthread.php?t=50656&highlight=ps2ls) (I do understand you have now annexed your efforts with his.)
As I posted earlier I do appreciate them and having them put on imgur so we dont have to bother extracting them ourselves.

I simply thought it was going to be a more in depth written analysis of the patch as opposed to the patch note review Hamma has presented in the past ie. below.
Now I know these will be nothing like that I can appreciate it for what it is. :D

Ah, okay.


Yeah, I'm styling my content analysis off of the Dota 2 Patch Content Analysis that Cyborgmatt does for the Dota community (Example: http://www.cyborgmatt.com/2013/03/dota-2-13th-march/ ).

I feel like you can see what is in each patch in the VR room, so I try to point out the little things.

I should probably title it 'Unreleased Content Analysis'.

[Falcon_br]

I didn't see any weapon rebalance and I noticed that in some I use, like the t5 AMC and the MSW ( or something like that from TR heavy assault).

[Roy Awesome]

I updated the Max section with the two unreleased guns I missed my first time through the files.

[Falcon_br]

I just wish they change the TR max melee weapon for a Powerclaw, that would be awesome!
VS got witch blades
NC got power hammer so they can say it is hammer time!
We got knuckles... No really? Show some love for the TR and replace it for claw in the name of awesomeness!

[Empra]

Omg wtf is that prowler thing and how the heck are they going to balance that? lol

Not sure about artillery tbh :/ something makes me feel that arties might just make spam waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse.

Everything else looks pretty cool! I understand that it's all WIP and might not get into game etc, just calling it how I see it atm.

I am just worried that there will be another "BFR" I'm all for bigger and better but some things in PS1 got a little too much bigger and kind of made things silly at times. Artillery with spotting ala PS1 wouldnt be so bad but it should be HELLA expensive to pull, or severe time restrictions otherwise welcome to artyspamside. I realise that didnt happen with the flail but that was because you had to get the tech through great effort. being able to pull 30 artillery at once, even with massive deploy bubbles would be a bit weird.

TBH as I think about it the devs are smarter than me so they have probs thought this all up already.

anyway thats my 2 pence (yes thats right, the finest, Queen's pennies!)

[Twasta]

MAX grenade launchers? Quad Prowler cannons?

Buying membership was a good idea, apparently.:) Going to save the SC until this stuff comes out.

[Sonny]

I have to say that the tank artillery cannons look pretty-frickin-awesome!! Can't wait to see how they'll turn out.

Thanks for all your hard work Roy Awesome, appreciate all your hard work!

[camycamera]

MBT artillery! :D

[Hmr85]

Melee weapons..Awesome! I can't wait to crack open some TR/VS skulls with that hammer. For the Empor....I mean NC

[ChipMHazard]

Indeed. No way that the NC gets to have thunder hammers, the VS gets to have power swords and we get brass knuckles, big knuckles mind you but... Power fists they are not. I would actually like to see something akin to lightning claws.

[Carbon Copied]

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.

[Hamma]

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.

[VaderShake]

Tree's taller than the Biolab is interesting...I wonder if they will put a base up in the trees?

[Hamma]

I doubt it - but it's going to be a very interesting continent with trees that big. :D

[KaskaMatej]

If you're interested how big those trees are compared to Bio Lab:

[Sledgecrushr]

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.

[Emperor Newt]

Brass knuckles... a bit underwhelming for a big metal killing machine.
Still missing VS/TR max shotguns and some mid range alternatives for NC.

[Falcon_br]

Why not a chain fist?

Or:
http://www.modelbits.co.uk/images/chaos_terminator_lord_chain_fist_2007_large.jpg

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.

Okay, so they aren't taller, but still pretty fucking big.

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.

[DirtyBird]

They'll probably grow bigger by the time we see them in over 4mths time ;)

I am looking ever so much forward to hiding from Liberators under those canopies.
