This is the first screenshot in quite some time that has gotten me super excited! Any worry I had about optimization cutting down on the amount of environmental detail has been extremely diminished!

I hope we see large tracts of land like this, inhospitable to vehicle entry.

Awesome!

That would be amazing, a heaven for airfights + lib bomb runs. I WANT!

Fighting in there is going to be so damned cool.

Can we have a half or quarter continent like this?

Think future-style vietnam. Large columns of footsoldiers grinding away hidden by huge jungle trees.

I'm envisioning jungle warfare for foot soldiers with riverways and cleared roads for armor. The roadways should make for fast travel to get armor to base assaults but also make them vulnerable to ambush from the thick trees on either side.

Rivers and waterfalls make for terrain that allows hover vehicles like the magrider a little extra mobility, but a lack of long visiblity due to tall tree cover and winding roads means that most armor engagements happen on the roads at close range.

Air vehicles would be limited to interdiction around bases and blind bombing runs at the trees when they spot tracer fire coming up at them.

Wow, that is some of the densest jungle I've seen in an FPS, even more so than Crysis, THAT will be some mean, mean infantry-grinding combat!

Someone break out the Agent-Orange and Liberator Napalm Cannon!

...Liberator Napalm Cannon... there's an idea!

I thought it was the inside of the bioLab at first too. But then I noticed that you couldn't see the dome of the Biolab, just the clear sky. So I'm thinking this might be something else.

EDIT: Nevermind. Mini-map.
