Higby/TB Livestream Screenshots

The main building for the tech plant was wide open sure, and it should be since it is going to have the most people in it fighting over it at any given time. The buildings surrounding the tech plant however, and the other capture points, those will probably be much smaller in scale and therefore they might resemble PS1 bases a little bit more. Keep in mind the numbers of people the devs expect to be fighting in certain areas, and then consider the logistics of creating an area that has to hold hundreds of players =/

Yeah we didn't see too much of the rest of the tech plan, mostly the garage/vehicle spawn.

I think this is more conducive to Infantry vs Infantry combat than the maze of chokepoints called bases in Planetside 1. Especially since the number of players is being greatly increased and the TTK is going up aswell.

Edit: Vod is up btw.

Thanks for posting all the highlights, Bags. Will help prevent the need to get the video and hunt down a specific point.

What no snap shot of that epic tank shot!?

[PeteHMB]

Am I the only one who was going "WTF IS THAT BIGASS CANNON?!" in the tech plant? And they just kept waltzing on by like it wasn't there...but it looked like it had some type of control panel or something under it. I was thinking it would make a kickass base defense weapon...drop a wall and bombard attacking forces with it, but give it a slow traverse and everything. Maybe even give it enough range to hit another base?! o Meta game - capture the mega-weapons?

Agree with thoughts on indoors, looks easy to fly a scythe or drive a lightning in though.


Thought:
The NC are screwed on Indar.

Reason:
They live in the only temperate region on the cont. If there's one thing that PS has taught me it's that people like to fight in grassy areas rather than desert areas.

Also, no epic screen shot comparing the night/day when looking at that engine fire? That was beautiful.

You may remember that we got to see that cannon being made a while back and we were informed it was a piece of background that served as a capture point. I thought it was good to see it ingame as we had an idea that it would be even larger. Like bigger than a tank large.

From what we saw, I don't see how a backdoor or basement could be included, which makes me

I too saw that! Looked EPIC! Strange that it was indoors though. You'd think it would be outside or mounted somewhere where it could actually be useful... though I guess pointing that thing at a staircase could prove effective....

[Furber]

That NC Max looks absolutely gorgeous, and I'm not even that big on maxes. My friends sure are happy though.

They did a video on the development of that thing too...it is in fact a cannon. And for something that huge to be inside doesn't make any sense...Maybe the roof are bay doors that open and the whole platform rises out into open air or something?

It wasn't meant to be a working cannon more something that the NS Elves had been working on but weren't able to complete before the war broke out.

NC max looking amazing (apart from maby those animal skins... :S)

Much better posture here than we saw in previous screens. NC has great design!

[Hamma]

Nice work bags!

The UI in this game is sexy.
