Nanite Systems week teaser - Lib, Gal, quad and..?

'Cause that's no Sunderer in my opinion, unless it's HEAVILY customized.

Teaser pic,
Sunderer pic #1,
Sunderer pic #2,
Sunderer pic #3.

The Sunderer's wheels are proportionally smaller, and they aren't spaced out so wide.
Its driver section contains a proper hood, not a single 60-degree surface.
Its rear section is vertical, not sloped.
Lastly, we haven't seen one with those three thingamajigs on top, nor with an antenna.

Of course the Sunderer has changed a bit over time (as can be seen on the 3 different pic shown so far), but I'm not convinced. There's also a chance that the Sunderer's pic wasn't cut out too well, but let's assume that that isn't the case.

So either that's somehow a Lightning (it would have to be tracked now, and have a forward-facing, narrow aiming arc gun, rather than a turret), or a Deliverer (or any other PS2 equivalent of BF3's Hummvee/Vodnik).

Sure looks like the Sundy to me...

Yeah, my guess is the Sunderer. This has been an awesome Theme Week; thanks, SOE! Lots of sweet content!

Let's hope they don't stop at the Quad and Lib, though...

Fire, that is a sunderer. Im pretty sure we know about all vehicles that we will see for beta. The only actual new one is the scythe, everything else has already be seen in PS1.

But one thing a lot of you guys completly ignore: New game. A PS1 Sundy is clearly not a PS2 sundy, just as with the Gal, Tanks, everything.

DviddLeff · 2012-01-14, 05:47 PM

Does excite me that they are not going to be the same; Sundy was hardly used once everyone could afford their own assault vehicle (sure some outfits did use them effectively from time to time).

As everyone said, its Bangbus.,

The real question is "Where is the Lightning?", that is common pool.

In that teaser pic, lighting will be parked in front of a sunderer. Thats why his silhouette looks weird.

I'm not good with these picture games. I saw the picture in the other thread. I believe we're looking at a dragon. You can see the wings. Also the one on the right is probably a Charmander.

lol nice one sirisian

to me it looks like they took the deliverer and sunderer and combined them togather into one unit. looks way smaller than the PS1 sunderer but bigger and beefier than the deliverer. as fast as a deliverer maybe slightly slower but more armored and maybe more armed. the guns in the picture look like what you'd find on a deliverer, hopefully imo you could add stronger weapons such as what you'd find on a PS1 sunderer or something akin to the deli variant.

oh my god sirisian i laughed so hard.

SKYeXile · 2012-01-14, 06:56 PM

i think due to its pointy ears and tail that looks like a lightning bolt we're defiantly not looking at a pikatu here.

Yetiee · 2012-01-14, 07:30 PM

Could the Galaxy be carrying the lightning underneath?
