I mean the way he holds the gun, how he looks

well ps1 was before halo even existed so i think its ok to get some reference from halo, also ps1 shits all over halo back and forth

That burger would self-harm NC.

NC helmets look like they lost a barfight.

Cylcer reminds me of a SCAR, the Cycler reminds me A LOT of an M-14. I wonder if those guns actually influenced the PS2 designs at all

Planetside development started in 1999 under a different name. Halo was out 2 years before Planetside. Planetside armour is very similar to spartan armour and now with the introduction of regenerative sheilds it brings it more in line.

But hey a hater has got to hate right?

Whilst not personally a fan of battlefield or COD games i can stand back and say hey i can understand why 10 million + people are addicted to them and defend them passionately.

Where is the love? Fanatics are ghey

Lets hope we can get Higby to 1000 folllowers, someone post it on the Chinese outfit forums

Is that a JarJar Binks cheesecake photo to the left of the one shot???

PurrfectStorm is a cutie. I love how many times she posts. Everything that occurs to her, she tosses up onto Twitter.

Oh, and I asked her (during the TR Q&A) "What's your favorite aspect of the TR?"

and she replied,

"Tea-bagging them."

So you know what? She's fucking awesome

To our defense, do all American burgers look like that? If that's what NC get I'm even more TR now than before! ^^

Looks like someone already ate it and puked it up. I'm truly disgusted.

Shogun · 2011-11-03, 09:46 AM

the burger rules! it looks a little mangled and therefore goes in line with all the NC equippment ;-)

but the most important thing: IT HAS BACON!!!!
but i guess the burger will be a shop exclusive cosmetic item...

it is set in stone that i will do my first fight in planetside2 equipped with a bacon burger and as a NC soldier!

I know it's a WIP, but the proportions of these helmets look off for a human shaped head. One of the things I really dig about the TR stuff we've seen is how plausible it looks. I know the NC stuff is supposed to be bulkier, but imo, their armor should still follow the anatomical shapes of the human body.

Planetside has always seemed to take at least some amount of inspiration from Halo. Halo was the first game I thought of back when I first found out about PS1.

It's not like it's a ripoff, it just clearly takes some inspiration from Halo, among other sources. Nothing wrong with that.

That looks like it is a head analogue that they are modeling the helmet on top of, not a visor. If that's the case, the proportions are accurate.

Just picture some eyes and cheek bones in that big empty white space instead of looking at it like a visor.

2-3 years after Halo: Combat Evolved I think? It was in development long before Halo's release though.

I thought PS released the same year as halo?
