yep still no Vanu love getting kinda jealous here..... Just sayin.... but does look nice however, is it me or does the weapon models look like they need to be scaled down some they are almost as wide/tall as the people caring them. are they some kinda new auto-sniper rifle?. lol

They were in PC Gamer, however they were rather small and grainy.

Graywolves · 2011-10-04, 12:04 AM

Weapon scale looks fine to me.

Tigersmith · 2011-10-04, 12:09 AM

Woo looks good

Graywolves · 2011-10-04, 12:09 AM

Also, I'm curious about the garage doors in the background of what is comparable to the main building of an AMP Station.

Bases look tremendously huge. In the third picture you can see a small figure that looks like a player in the area of the shield. If that IS a person, which is definitely looks to be, then the bases are at least twice as big as in Planetside 1.

Wow, I didn't notice that. DAMN. That thing is huge. You could fly a Galaxy through an opening that size without a moments hesitation.

I can't tell for sure from the picture, is the shielded section way in front of the rock face or is it set into the rock? I would tend to guess that the base is just very close to the cliff, but maybe some bases are heavily incorporated into the surrounding terrain.

Either way, that cliff is even bigger and is definitely close enough to have fun with the base below. Park a Galaxy up top and set up a few AA MAX's for defense and then proceed to rain hell upon them.

Oh wow, I didn't even notice that... that definitely looks like a player.

No, that...it couldn't be. It's gotta be just a funny rock or something.

Cripes, look at the shadow of the wall covering him/it. That gate would have to be Massive. Like Warhammer 40k Big.

NapalmEnima · 2011-10-04, 01:12 AM

The shot witb the gate also shows a section of wall.

1). It has a roof! Could this be the end of casually strafing the walls on fly-bys?

2). Many of the sections have walls of three different heights. I suspect that the lowest can be fired over by someone in a crouch, the middle hieght by someone standing, and the third will be over the head of someone standing.

3). If you zoom in on the shot of the NC, in the upper right corner it looks a whole hellofalot like a similar 3 tiered opening on the top floor of the base itself.

3b). The "amp station" walls show the same 3-tier crenelations, behind the TR.

I'm pretty sure the energy gate thing is not set into the cliff. I believe thats the view from inside the courtyard.

So we have pretty much confirmed the existence of Amp Stations. Interestingly, I wonder if that shield is standard, rather than a mod? That would be awesome, and make things a lot more fun. No more tanks camping doors, unless they went through the effort of being dropped off by a Lodestar!
