Surprised someone hadn't posted this yet!

That might still be the assault rifle / MA equivalent, just with upgrades. It looks similar to what we've seen of the gauss.

The outline of that building in the background is intriguing. Base or tower with the twin landing pads?

Maybe, but his quote for the picture was "Early bird snipes the TR." So I dunno.

It does seem rather compact for a sniper rifle, but maybe its bullpup or something.

I agree with this; even though he says "the early bird snipes the TR," I think he just means "strikes the TR with a bullet" rather than "uses an actual sniper rifle against him." That looks like a Gauss with a scope on it (and it's a damn pretty configuration). Also, that armor and helmet are the abso-fucking-lutely best looking NC gear I've seen yet. Stunningly awesome looking.

Hell yeah. And I'm VS at heart

I agree, if now we can only see what the Adv. Rexo looks like for the NC. Hopefully just as good.

I hope that background is just for making the icons harder to read in pictures, and he doesn't actually stare at that all day.

I'm dying to see how the sniper scopes interfaces look like.

Doctor Digit · 2012-01-27, 02:51 PM

I do believe that is the NC's Infiltrator suit as well, It does seem to match up with the helmet on the concept art board that was posted a week or so ago.

Are you guys sure about that? I hope Higby can confirm that, as it's time for some NC love and this looks quite cool from what I can see ... we still haven't seen the NC heavy assault infantry though

That is some beautiful work right there! (for none VS that is)

Am I mistaken or this is the first tree we saw?

Weve seen a few now. This is the second style of tree weve seen.

A few interesting points:

A.) Thats probably not the sniper rifle :/ Just the Guass with a Long Range Scope attatchment, You can tell because it isnt NS, its branded NC. Or if it is, are their empire specific sniper rifles?

B.) NC Infil looks SICK

C.) Swamp Continent looks brilliant.

D.) What is that structure in the background?
