News: T-Ray Tweets New Vehicle

That sure is neat looking. It looks like a cross between an FJ and a Hummer.

The question is... what would you need this for when you have a sunderer?

[basti]

Im sure this is a Deliverer. Art style is clearly Common Pool, and i am under the impression that we ge faction specific buggys right away.

Looks gorgeous, at first glance I thought it was a Deliverer; but I like the thickness of it - very American.

If it's a Marauder, then hot-diggity-damn that's an improvement aesthetically.

The keyword is SPEED.

Hopefully SpecOps gets some love with a fast buggy vehicle not unlike my old Marauder.

Needs to be rocket pods proof.

cool pic, to bad he still has not learned how to rotate a pic.

No need to rotate it, he's just showing how the vehicle would operate if you let about 50% of the playerbase drive it (including me).

They should add this. It would only be available to the TR on Matherson.

[FIREk]

I'm confident that it's both. Think Battlefield's HMMWV and Vodnik. It's essentually a mix between a buggy and the Deliverer, by PS1's standards. Anything smaller would be as pathetically worthless as Battlefield's buggies, which at best were used to get from your spawn to a proper vehicle spawn. :P

PS2 definitely needs this, because as far as small squads go, you can either take a couple of Flashes, or a pigfat Sunderer for transport.

It also looks NS enough to almost certainly be common pool. Also, reduced development costs if you only make one vehicle instead of three.

I am posting in approval, and with much LOL.

so we get completely exposed gunner which means he is instagibbed by any vehicle shooting at us making boring gameplay? or will they be considered in the vehicle so we can get gameplay that doesnt suck ass? Vehicles already die in seconds, sadly, so no need to make the gunners boring one shot fodder too.

Also, this is waaaaaaaaaay too big for a buggy unless its misleading and more the size of an oversized golfcart rather than the H2 Hummer size that it looks like. Also, where's the deliverer light tank/transport? Driver + 2 gunners with good speed and decent armor? That was my fave vehicle before the tank buff patch in ps2 that ruined it. Far better than any of the awful vehicles currently in ps2, although thats not a high bar to reach.

Not bad, could be great, it will all depend on how its implemented. The MBT's were implemented terribly, so if they cant even get to the level of a 10 year old game with ancient tech that they own the rights on (let alone improving on it), then they can easily even screw buggies up as crazy as that sounds.

I'm hoping they stop the BF cloning process and get it right for once. I used to spend most of my absurd amounts of playtime driving vehicles for my gunners and loved it in ps1. But they refuse to let me do that in ps2 and honestly i havent played in months more than 5 mins every few weeks due to many things, but this being one of the bigger reasons.
