Cant wait to spawn a desert camo vanny!

Is that an actual ingame shot? The perspective looks a bit wrong, as if the mags are just photoshopped onto the background.

When I send out screenshots or pics unless I say otherwise or it's some art work in progress in Maya or the terrain editor, it's always 100% in the runtime game client no photoshop no trickery. I'm not doing a bunch of trickery in these shots except by flying to get certain camera angles - 100% legit game screens, that means sometimes theres temp assets, proxy objects, etc in them, but I trust you guys to look past that.

I do more manipulation on the travel photos on www.matthewhigby.com than I do on the screenshots for Planetside 2, our stuff looks awesome as is.

Those are sexy

I don't want to be overly negative, but it looks more like a pebble than a tank. The gun placements bother me the most. I think it would look more like a tank of the gun was moved up.

They look totally great !!!

Even the headlight looks perfect, designers really did a great job on this one !

EDIT : it's true the canon looks a bit low, but it's the style of the vehicle. My only concern is about it beeing seen before it can shoot in case your clibing a hill with enemies on the other side, you know? you can't really hide the body of the tank behind a rock and shoot with only the turret up.

Is it me or does the Mag just look puny compared to the the other tanks? Looks like its somewhere in between the old mag and a thresher.

The concierege will have towels and changes of underwear available. Please simply call down to the front desk once you regain consciousness.

The two outer tanks have the same cyan colored nodule... where the middle mag has a different main gun and a green light. perhaps the color of the light indicates what configuration the main gun is so that enemies know? Maybe green light = AA or AI cannon?

Actually the green light is a headlight.

Also, with regards to the outfit logo on the middle tank...

@KC_McG We're going to have lots of new decals also, but we are respecting the vet outfits and keeping the legacy decals in.

So yay!!

I am still hoping we can upload our own logos; got angry that my Vindicators raven shield was used by other VS, let alone other empires!
