This is beautiful! The shadows infront of the explosion, The exaust behind the prowler, the dust covered vanguard about to open fire... I just cannot get over how bad that rock is, I think it is a temporary texture? The same one from the little rocks but scaled up? Other than that, everything is stunning.

Shouldn't he be digging out his Striker to drill the Vanny instead?

Did the prowler have two secondary turrets at E3 and I just didn't notice it until now?

I love the new screenshots and videos every few days to keep us glued to the latest PS2 news. Great shot, can't wait to be driving one myself soon!

I'm not sure if there's two of them or if there's just an awkward double-stack of twin MG turrets perched on top of the main turret. They were in T-Ray's Prowler test drive vid though...

So nice to see base doors hopefully there is a lot with barriers like we saw in some other screenshots

That rock looks pretty buggered escpecially where it meets the ground

Everything else looks pretty amazing.

I'll be surprised if it keeps a big buff. Driver-gunned tanks that are durable means nobody bothers with infantry (or, thus, infantry transport).

On the original topic, though, is anybody else surprised at the color? The devs must have a very narrow range of what they consider "faction colors" when they say "you can't paint your tank up in another faction's colors"... because the first word that comes to my mind when I look at that is definitely "blue."

I think mythbusters did something on shockwaves and such, and if you are behind something like a car wheel with the car sideways. Then you are pretty protected against shockwaves, but i can't remember what the explosive size was. Could be maybe comparable to a tank. So you could survive.

I'm not liking the implications of heal/repair bot playstyles for medic/engi. It causes severe imbalance for those that don't have a pocket healer, letting those that do run rampant

As someone who paints I can tell you that there's really only two ways to go when shading black (since it's really just a tone): grey or blue. In this case they've gone for blue grey in that lighting. Still not the rich blue of the NC, but you can't get good, detailed shading on black with more... black.

Aw I was half hoping someone recreated the e3 vanu girl in game
