I like jumpjets

[Saethan]

So I was sniping at an enemy base from this very high hill on Searhus, which I only got to by bailing out of my mosquito, there is no possible way to climb up here as an infantry. That got me thinking. There were a bunch of enemy aircraft flying around below me.. and.. aircraft would be the only thing that would reach me up here.

Well.. I just so happen to have a VS AA MAX cert. I thought.. if aircraft are the only thing that can get up here, and I am anti-aircraft.. bring it on! Jumped in it, and attempted to scale this mini-mountain. After many mis-judging attempts to land in certain spots, quite a few health packs from falling too far, and finally figuring out auto-run in place against a wall gives me quite a bit of motion after I hit the jumpjets, I managed to scale this mountain, and take screenshots. :-D

Note, I am at least 300m above that base below me, so no weapons shot from the ground could hit me. Of course, after I finally got up there, the battle was over, and all the aircraft were gone.. but still.. lookit me up there. :-D

[Meshuggah]

I'm wondering did you ever get down from there? :D

[Saethan]

Nope. Logged out right there. Hoping he'll still be there tomorrow. :-D

[Zenny]

Rofl what an accomplishment! And what a view, in that screenshot you are overlooking TWO bases :D wonder how many more there are behind ya. Must say for a spot for anti air, you found one hellava spot.

UUMMMMMMMM AWWWWWWWEEESSSSSOOOOOMMME

Dammit 3 weeks to go

[obskure]

[Hamma]

That is very cool, I could do that on my Galaxy actually, I was thinking, get allied snipers in my Galaxy, go to the top of the hill, hover there and hot drop them on the top.

[Airlift]

Not only was the climb a very cool accomplishment, but that is a superior screenshot. :thumbsup: :nod:

[SpartanSniper]

lol ya to bad u didnt have a sniper rifle

[BlakkyZ8]

Speaking of jumpjets I watched a PS vid some time ago where a VS max was riding an NC Gal! After a little while he just died, and the pilot got griefed? It must have been old... prolly fixed that bug by now.

[xuur]

thats very cool. I've been trying to get various ground vehicles to the toughest places I could find, just to see if they could make it.

I've taken a wraith to some pretty scary vertical places, but nothing like that. They've got some pretty high spots around the various lands that seem only aircraft (and you) can make it to.

Awesome shot. A nice 1st person pan video from up there would be something to see (and a darn nice marketing tool...E3). Let us know how much damage you take trying to climb down, heh

:D

omg i cant beleive ur geting serious about adding jumpjets to the planetside scene!. u know what happend to tribes 2. i havny waited 3 yers for ps for it to end up being a lagy jumping fest. :P im quite a nice guy really but i dont want ps to end up like trobes 2. btw nice mountain :)

[sHoRt-sTuFf]

im sorry that my last post seems to have a lot of spelling errors. i really gotta luk at what im typing b4 i send it :D

[Airlift]

Spelling errors aside, what are you talking about? I read this again and I can't see where anyone is saying they should give everyone jumpjets. You do know that the VS MAXes already have jumpjets, right?

Try reading the origional post. I quote from the very first sentence in this post...

[Saethan]

More shots from my adventures of finding cool places on Searhus..

Sniping from a tree. I bailed out of my mosquito going about 50kph directly over this tree, hoping to land in it. I did. :-D
Do you see me in this tree? I don't.

Links to two more pictures, first is the nice view I have of the door to the tower:

Second is the same view, through a scope. I wonder every time that opened and a guy was standing inside that I shot, how often they thought I was cheating to shoot through walls or something. :-D

[Saethan]

Lol, damn, you found me. :-P

[DarkDragon]

lol @ Airlift's pic

[Straynjer]

Well can I hand the Oscar for stupidest post in thread to Short stuff, and the Oscar for funniest post in thread to Airlift. Pissed myself completely, which allowed me to calm down from the vent I was going to post about the jumpjets.

Like damn Shortstuff, did you ever see Tribes 1? Jumpjets are exactly what made that the underground (read: pirated) hit that it was. Jumpjets didn't ruin T2, QIX (Georgeson) ruined T2. Fortunately for PS he seems to have proved the old theory that you learn most from your mistakes, and PS is looking like it will be the massive success QIX thought T2 was going to be.

I reckon the other Empires should have some MAX's with jets as well - but only with extra certs.
