Yes, but from the angle of the barrel it's firing at nothing a long ways away!.

and here is your exploding smilie

IGN Labels this image as artillery fire. Is that correct or is this an AA vehicle?

[TreizeAtreides]

Artillary

[NapalmEnima]

That's a Lightening. A 1-man tank. 75mm cannon and a chain gun with a limited field of fire.

IGN labeling it as artillery leads me to believe that either:

a) 75mm cannon can be used to lob shells too.

or

b) IGN needs to put down the crack pipe and back away slowly.

I'm guessing "a".

Ginzue: Your image don' woik.

The lightning has a cannon of its own, though I doubt it can hold a candle to something as formidable as the vanguard.

I don't know what pic you are referring to, but the pic in front of the warp gate is the Vanguard, not the lightning.

Yea the FX for the game are comming along now. Me and a couple others have been tweaking the hell outta them for quite some time. The Muzzle flash on the tanks are pretty large and quite impressive.

Its nice to see so many of you getting pumped about the game. I know for a long time people had given up on us. (teee hee) NEVER!!! We've mearly been keeping a low profile so that we can shock the shit out of you when we start showing stuff again.

Personally i think the game looks ALOT better than the screenshots our marketing has been releasin at this point....

Later friends,

Wow you really working on Planetside?

If so can you give a message to your bosses for me :

HURRY UP!!!


That is all.

[Sony Artist]

Yea i'll tell him you said to hurry up! Im sure he'll appreciate that! LOL.

Sheeesh, this game has been in production longer than DIRT. No one wants it out the door more than the artists! The new responce in the office to most issues with the game is,

"just ship it".

It wasn't so much that we'd given up on planetside per se. More like, we'd given up on rabidly following planetside when there wasn't enough to follow. I postponed devouring every piece of Pside info released a year or more ago because it was so distant. But the big guns are nigh upon us and the time for great rejoicing is now. Raise the flag high.

On the other hand, ask me if I've given up on Duke Nukem Forever. Go on, ask me. ;-)

hey josh, i hope you're the only artist that plans on signing up on this board.

(aka, don't have a handle?)

Please, take your time with this game.

Do not "just ship it".

Very nice, and very friendly forums that love you to death can get really nasty and want your blood if you "just ship it". Ask Dave about Tribalwar someday, and you'll know why he doesn't want to "just ship it".

I for one am glad to see Sony allow enough time for the game to be finished before it goes out the door. I have always felt that PlanetSide was Dave's chance to create the epic game he intended Tribes 2 to be. Please give the man all the time he needs to make sure it's right.

[Sony Artist]

All of that goes without saying. the "just ship it" is somthing to make us giggle.

And it does.........
