Pretty much what the title says, has anyone spotted this easter egg before?

i thought you have to do some evil exploiting to get to see it?

If by evil exploiting, you mean look through a doorway that has a window on it (Which is to say, not exploitive at all) then yes.

nice. didn´t know that. last time it was mentioned on this forum, people said you had to use a bug to get to the bfr. i guess they were talking about actually getting into the hangar.

Go North of Howling pass checkpoint, there are some buildings located off in the middle of nowhere, can't miss them.

Apparently though, there are two of them, I haven't seen the other one on Indar

The only one I know of, is north of Howling Pass, in what used to be the Defunct Solar Hub.

Where is the second one?

*ahem* :nono: There is no BFR on Indar, once again all your seeing is a weather balloon in poor light quite possibly your mind was being effected by a build up of swamp gas in that under ground super secret bunker... okay! ;)

You can get in, but it's ANNOYING

You have to clip through the wall. Couple videos up how to do it... I haven't done it, but I have a friend who figured out how to get a Sunderer in there.

There is no BFR, I concur.

It is now in the Tutorial area on Test server.

Walk behind where the dummy targets are(before using the teleporter) and look up through the Grating. You will be treated to a view of it towering over you. Saw it as I was running though as NC and VS.

Getting back to the whole "Secretly introducing something" how much of a mindfuck would it be, if there was an alert, the TR are pushed back, someone ended up in howling pass and stumbles into the Door guarding the BFR, suddenly the door opens, and the person could hop inside the BFR, wakling from Howling pass up to a besieged Terran force at Camp Waterson. Like BFRs or not, that would be metal.

that would also mean the introduction of environment destruction because the doors of the bfr hangar are only soldier-sized. you would have to ram your way out through the wall.

some days ago i went to the hangar on testserver just to take a look and to try if it´s still possible to glitch inside, but the doorway seems to be fixed and solid now. i stayed there for a long time and was alone, but suddenly something started to shoot at me. but sadly it was not the bfr, but only a dev who seems to have teleported there to check what i´m up to ;)
he didn´t kill me but lost interest, when i wouldn´t fight back and didn´t manage to glitch into the hangar, spawned a mossie from thin air and flew off. would have been funny if he had teleported into the hangar while i was looking in, and entered the bfr or move it in some way. would have been the shock of my life.

Oh hell yeah, especially if they were reintroduced as Amphibious Combat Units like I've been suggesting.

Imagine, your in this fight for a new Harbor Facility when suddenly these legged Mechanical Juggernauts rises from the depths like a Mini-Godzillas!

This. Now everyone, stop thinking that you see something that CLEARLY isn't there.

Well in my mind, the whole building explodes around the BFR, with the Mech walking out of the fire with dragon force blaring over a loudspeaker...

...Also we need loudspeakers.

I didn't think I could like BFRs less than I already do but now that you've added Dragon Force into the mix... :doh:

i like to see a mech that can't one man army and is not as OP as the BFR made it ingame come on a sci fi gmae without some form on mech or robot (maybe we can have robot in the army instead of just human :P) just feel weird.

We got MAXes as our mechs. I spent most of today as a MAX and those things are rather good for the robot itch.

I still want a damned HMG for the NC MAX but my Mattocks can do the damage needed till then. Might just cram my next thousand or 2 certs into a MAX so I can get better armor and save up for the shield. If it ever gets out of the PTS that is.
