:D

[Tobias]

Wow! Those Are Wizard!





And better then Sex too!

[�io]

Glad to see the VS can own even the great Hamma. ;)

[Jinxmasta]

Yea Hammy... err Hamma... :lol:

[Jinxmasta]

For some reason those screen shots seem a little better than Gamespot's...

[BLuE_ZeRO]

That advanced mobile station (AMS) looks like some kind of high tech ice creme truck.

[Hamma]

The screens probably look better because they are un-altered and at a higher quality.. I did not sacrifice size or quality. It means a longer load time, but you get to see the game better :)

[Tobias]

1) whats that vehicle:

and 2) http://www.planetside-universe.com/image.php?picid=20173&filetype=jpg

shows that the punisher can have 4 types of ammo for its rocket, and can carry extra, those look like a Rocket, a jammer nade, high explosive, and plasma to me.

All weapons have AP rounds

Whats that Sweeper Shotgun, a new weapon?

[Jinxmasta]

Yea I was just about to ask... WTF is a Sweeper Shotgun?

[Hamma]

That is the orbital dropship, You get on at the launch station and it takes off into orbit, where you pick your drop point. :)

[Jinxmasta]

Oh and I'm 99% sure that that is one of the vehicles that will get you from space and down to your base... hey that rhymed!

[Hamma]

oops second screen.. I didnt try the sweeper shotgun.. that ammo screen is with an agile exo-suit

and yes the punisher can fit a bunch of different ammo types

[Jinxmasta]

Ok reverse that, it will get you from your base up into space! And it still rhymes!

[Hamma]

Right :D

[FireFrenzy]

Very nice screenshots, would be nice to see with AA on. Overall, how was the FPS when you got into big battles?

[Hamma]

Well the FPS was resonable.. I dont want to give specifics other than whats in those screens because well, it has yet to be fully optomised. :)

[Jinxmasta]

Yea it's INTERNAL beta. That means the game should be very choppy and it should be laggy. It just comes with being in beta, especially internal beta.

[Tobias]

But does it float?

[Doobz]

well, do u know at what detail level everything was set at?
high?
low?
medium?

[Tolvy]

:eek:
:jawdrop:
Wow best pics I've ever seen for PS.
Very nice Hamma :D

[Jinxmasta]

I'm guessing medium or possibly high.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

GS probably had everything set to as low as it could go for their screens. Horrible quality.

[Jinxmasta]

I wouldn't care how fast/slow they loaded, I would put it the highest for almost all screenshots so it can really show off the game's power.

[Doobz]

yeah, well loading times wouldnt matter at all

what would suck would be the screen updatating once every 10 minutes :p

[Airlift]

Mad love to Smokejumper and company for actually giving the vehicle nice round wheels!

[Hamma]

haha

I dont knwo what the detail level was at, only know the res was 1024x768

[Doobz]

as long as i can run it at 1600x1200 :cool:

i always have to run everything at max on me g4 ti 4600 ;)

[SVoyager]

damn f***ing good screenies. Never saw the interface before and it looks like it has a lot of info. Health of your squaddies, multiple squads you can EASLY MONITOR YAY!!! cool sequence for the dropships, i like these. Also a good clear screenie of the gates. Weapons interface, damn good info. :drools: . PS fever coming back again.

S! hamma, damn good stuff u got there!!!

[Jinxmasta]

I like the weapons interface but vehicles? God all they have on the Mosquito is a chaingun! The harasser has a nice interface from the GS screens but I think they need to work on the Mosquito and any other vehicles with such a plain and boring interface.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Vanu mosquito needs like dual laser cannons or something. The other empires can have just the chaingun.

[War Mongrel]

I thought posting screenshots from beta tests was against the NDA.

[�io]

Hamma was part of the media beta if you will. No NDA. An NDA would have been against the whole purpose of the thing since they did it too get people like us pumped up about PS. :)

[FireFrenzy]

About the mosquito, did you get to try to repair anything? How did the repair (gun?) work? Or did you even see it at all:p ?

[xuur]

holy crap!

gotta have it
gotta have it
gotta have it

nice goin Hamma,

[Jinxmasta]

Personally, if I had one day to play PS, I wouldn't be running around in a Mosquito repairing things...

[Madfish]

:eek:

Mucho awesome Hamma; good work. Thanks for grabbing a shot of the inventory station.

I've been watching the gamespy movies too; all gorgeous stuff, especially the airbourne combat between the Reaver and Mosquito!

OBVIOUSLY it goes without saying you kick GSpy in the short and curlies :D

[Incompetent]

which begs the question, can anybody host those.

[Jinxmasta]

Sorry my website is screwed up right now and I can't host anything :( Oh and I don't subscribe either so someone would have to send them to me but that would be no use because it's screwed up... Sorry guys :(

[Hamma]

Yea War this was a media event, so screens and talking about the game are not outlawed :p

I used the repair gun once, interesting device. Takes up the space of a rifle however :eek:

[Qanamil_Rafiki]

Did you just shoot health-giving laserbeams or what?

I'm not quite getting the concept :)

[Hamma]

Yea if i was to compare it to somthing it would be the repair gun in t2, it shoots out a blue beam that repairs the target object.

[afex]

the pic of the HART and droppod reminds me of a question i have.

hamma, how does droppodding work, exactly. can you choose anywhere on the continent to land? (except other teams bases SOI, of course) or are there designated landing spots?

[Mold]

heres a link to some of the movies hosted by someone
http://www.planetside-links.com/avs

[Hamma]

When you get into orbit it brings a world map, then you click on the continent, then from there you pick a spot.. as far as I could tell there were no designated spot. I just clicked a short way out of an SOI as a test and thats where it dropped me

Hey don't diss it, i had some really good times in T2 defending and reparing the bases. Attacking isn't automactically the most fun thing to do. :)

[Zarparchior]

Being the Gorge/Marine with welder in NS is very satisfying for me... if we're winning. :D

Damn... I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want PS I want it

[B00tlegbob]

Excellent job Hamma.

Not sure if it was me in your place that I would have had the presence of mind to actually line up for a decent screenie' (and give up precious game play time in the process!!).
As has been noted already, your screens are very informative and far superior (not talking image quality here) to the GS ones, especially the equipment and continent shots. Nice. As this is my first post here I should pass on my thanks for doing a great job on your site as a whole - I have filled many a lunch hour lurking around soaking up the atmosphere.

Cheers!
:thumbsup:

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Dio... are you diogenes?

[Zarparchior]

That question I have pondered myself. :D

Well... not really.

[Unregistered]

Diogenes of T2 scripting fame? I hadn't thought of that. I had thought he might be Diocleiton from -CDL- but he's not :(

I think He's just Dio.

[Hamma]

:love:

[Gooey]

What?!? No screenshot of me killing you in a VS heavy Hamma?

tisk tisk :nono:

:D

[Marsman]

If you have it Gooey, send it over :) I'm sure Hamma would be more than happy to post it :p :love: :D

[Gooey]

Heh I was not selected to take screenies and did not have the cap software on the pc I was running. Next time I will be sure to get them though, and there WILL be a next time :D

[Marsman]

:love: :love: :love:

We are most grateful for the fabulous "eye candy" we've been treated to in the last couple of days. You folks sure know how to make a great looking game. :cool: The community drools in anticipation. :p :D

[�io]

I'm whatever Dio you guys want/love. :p

And yeah i'm "just" Dio. (But that's plenty already ;))

[BLuE_ZeRO]

hrms...

[Hamma]

:rofl:

Gooey was playing incognito so I didnt know who he was :(

Next time :evil:

Defending is fun but JUST repairing is not!

[m0rphiu5]

defense is fun, depending on ofcoarse if your being succesful at it..... its no fun when you keep spawning and are immediately killed by the incursionary force, is it?

but as always.... if at first you don't succeed, try, try again :P

[�io]

Well it depends on the peeps. I didn't mind at all being a medic or enginner in T2 and BF1942 and such. Granted there's less action but you're also usually more valuable. :p

[Madfish]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the AMS looks like a port-a-loo?

In the midst of combat you need a piss. What do you do? Do not fear, the Advanced Bladder Control is at hand! :D

[Jinxmasta]

In BF1942 I didn't mind playing a medic and an engineer had some cool explosives. However, I usually didn't like these support roles because everyone on my team was retarted and blew up all our vehicles when the game started and then started TKing people.

[Hamma]

:lol:

The AMS is really different than what I expected to see when i heard "I am depoying the AMS" I suppose I was expecting somthing more futuristic looking, or bigger :D

I remeber that sweeet satchel charge and the different modified ones in the mods that were even more cool...ah i miss good old T2. :)
