The Return of BFRs???

[Forsaken One]

Hahahaha guys. thats not a real BFR.


Its the new vanu max. The old one sucks so much that they had to give it twice the size with new weapons just so it would be on par with the other maxs.

If we get walkers, I think a good way would be like the AT-RT from Star Wars. It just enhances the abilities of the soldier without adding too much power.

Indeed, a Scout Walker would basically be a Flash with legs.
Steadier to shoot, but slower and still open to the elements.

That would actually be pretty awesome, especially if it can just stride over rough terrain and controls pretty much like infantry (and can thus bring its weapon to bear quickly and easily).

The only problem I can see with that is that it'd be a huge target, and would tend to get AVed to death the second it stepped onto the battlefield. It'd need to be tough enough to take a couple of rockets at least.

Well that's why it's a "Scout" Walker.
It cost only around 50, so even if they did kill you with it with two rockets it would be two less to take out your oncoming tanks with.

...Plus now you can call out their location!

I love the scout walker idea. There really isnt enough sci fi in this game yet and this would take us a long way towards that goal.

It's more like a MAX for a MAX, rather than a BFR. As long as it lies in the same niche as Lightning, the thing's ok and is far from being a BFR.



Actually, did anyone check what it has to say? I mean the artist INTENTIONALLY says:

It IS an AT-RT. Or actually an AT-PT.

lil late for the April fools day joke... what this is real.
NO!

For everyone saying, "It's just fan art", look at the FB post by SOE. They are asking the payers if they would want something like that in game.

You're missing the point. You titled it "BFRSOMGNO" and nobody is actually taking a closer look at the picture because of that...

Why? In 6 words...

(Or alternatively - do MAXes belong in planetside?)
