Medic Backpacks, Weapon Scavenging and more importantly...

Goggles.

I'd be wary at reading into too much of these screenshots and drawing conclusions about the mechanics of the game, like pulling weapons from fallen enemies. However, it is an encouraging sign that they are at least toying with the idea.

EDIT: I actually am pretty surprised that it's not going to be on PS3. I would have bet good money after Smedley's reaction to the question during Fan Faire that they were planning to do what they did for DCUO. I guess I was wrong...for now.

The game is still just internally playable, and still kinda early, they can put any weapon they want on any character they want. Dont read into it that we will be allowed to do it once all systems are in place. Them playin around with em doesnt affect balance or all the upgrades/resource/class limit issues etc that they are concerned about. The TR usin a gauss at this stage of development doesnt mean a thing.

The tr cloaker chick is lookin hawt. Now if we could get some pics of some VS who arent just in PJ's, and some vehicles. I'd be pretty stoked.

The female looks excellent. Wonder if they have made the 3d yet?

(Of the first 'new' screen) The shoulder guard of the jetback dude is red and the guy on the left has grey so...... greybies!!! YAY!! Where is my punisher so I may wave it?

Well, looks like weapon scavenging made it in after all.

Or its an alpha screenshot.

Am I he only one who noticed the bolt driver when I first watched the trailer?

I haven't seen anyone mention it, or the Repeater, on the forums.

You do know there's more than two new images and one shows the finely sculpted hind parts of a TR cloaker, right?

Okay makes more sense now lol!

The cloaker was invisible to me!!

FIREk · 2011-08-17, 07:37 PM

There's something else worth noticing. The NC soldier, the one summarily executed by the brave TR soldier (and rightly so!) seems to be holding a heavy-looking pistol. Doesn't look like the Repeater from the trailer, it's also doesn't look like it's a pocket shotgun. A high-caliber semi-automatic NC-only pistol, I suppose?

Seeing as we pick every piece of media we get to the bone in order to draw conclusions about the game mechanics, and also that I would imagine they are pretty mindful of what they show in the screenshots they release, I would be surprised if they mislead us like that. But, then again maybe they aren't as cautious as I thought.

Yeah I noticed that, its too far away but my first though was gold plated DE style handgun... but thats probably not right.

Soon-to-be cash microtransaction shop vanity item, perhaps? :P

I'm also under the impression that the TR Cycler visible on one of the screens (the Cycler that kills that NC) is:
a) slightly redesigned,
b) customized,
c) differently lit,
in a way that makes its lower body look more steel-like, instead of dark and carbon-fiber-ish, like in the earlier screens. The whole stock is now black as well, and the front grip seems to be brighter.

Aractain · 2011-08-17, 07:59 PM

You appear to be correct

The motion blur shots seem to be from the ealier trailer right? Is it different design or customisation?
