Is there some type of jealousy here?

I love almost everything I've seen in this game but the tanks look like toys.

Da hell? Why are you stealing that low tech TR thing if you could drive, no, HOVER in a high tech Vanu mag?

Synical · 2012-05-28, 03:42 AM

Wow, I just might have to dump my Lightning after all to the drive a Prowler. That things looks insane and has enough weaponry on it to blow everything to hell.

Corax · 2012-05-28, 03:58 AM

Hahahahhahaa, leave it to the TR to steal some of the NC's duct tape and tape another machine gun to the machine gun.

Yo dawg, I heard you like machine-guns, so I put a machine-gun on yo machine gun so you could waste more bullets.

Seriously it looks like the TR have a machine-gun fetish or something....

I mean really its a gun literally stacked on another gun!

Good to see there's third person view.

Looks like it works just like in World of Tanks, where it's independent of turret or hull (in WoT - hold right click to change camera). That will make driving it and having good situational awareness easy for the driver/tank commander.

Now if only it wasn't a driver/gunner.

The headlights look very nice, as I understood it, you can turn them off to be more stealthy, I wonder if that would also turn of the breaking lights or those lights on the side of the tank?

What would be funny, is if that 3rd person is only there because its Alpha and it will be removed in Beta, so many hopes crushed.

Hit like a heavyweight, breathe deep, meditate
Make the PS crowd get loud, make 'em levitate
I ride through the Indar like a presidential candidate
T-Ray here, Prowler double-gun, and accelerate...

now i hope the music wasn´t something we will hear in planetside 2

would be the second worst genre possible

(the worst being the music used at the end of the agn intro)

the prowler looks cool and its behaviour too!
but the machine gun on top of a machinegun looks a little stupid indeed

so why are the machineguns stacked? to move independently? so it´s a 3 man tank again for tr?
if not, place them beside each other.
looks to fragile the way it is now.

every cloaker will be throwing stones at the top gun to break it off

And what is wrong with that? Are you judging my sexuality?!?

Heaven · 2012-05-28, 04:49 AM

This baby looks evil!

I like it

Kipper · 2012-05-28, 05:32 AM

Maybe because of the slight graininess and movement in the camera, but I thought I was watching a real video of a tank for a few seconds....

It was almost better that way than it would have been if perfectly video captured in HD

cellinaire · 2012-05-28, 05:54 AM

Aww as a noob Vanu soldier I don't even want to confront and fight that beast in the night Lol

It looks a little like a ''god mode'' camera. Probably for testing purposes.

ot:

Looks awesome! Can't wait to blow a bunch of those up!

To prove Vanu superiority. We could fight and win with inferior primitive technology, we just don't normally choose to.

Sort of like how we deliberately gimp our own guns to be as weak as the NC and TR bullets. Lasher 2.0 was just an example of accidentally letting some of our technologies true power onto the battlefield

Pretty cool to see the Prowler driving around. Something about the grainy footage made it feel that much more realistic (as if Forgelight needed much help there). I never had a huge problem with the Prowlers new design, but not it's just looking awesome to me. I can't wait to see some tank battles with all three of these MBT's.

I wonder how large the differences in speed/armor/firepower will be between this and the Vanguard. I know it's still probably being tweaked right now though.
