It says in the article that ONE sniper shot can take out the shield generator, so that's like 3 or 4 MA shots, I don't think it's that bad. Of course, taht doesn't answer how much armor the thing will have.

I believe it'll be like this...

Infantry take out the shield generator
Vehicles take out the armor.
The BFR is best suited for anti vehicle, though.

Uhoh, TR footzerglings won't be able to kill it

(one behind it is August since people on the official forums were questioning why September would be out already...)

I doubt it'll just be "3-4 MA shots", if it was, that'd be way too easy, remember, it's not 1v1 here, it's gonna be more around 30-40v1, so it should take atleast a few full AP clips to take the shields down, then an insane amount of armor, which is taken down by the tanks.

It said they have cloaking.

If so...

Then my wet dream of sneaking up the wall of a base, then uncloaking, and watching infantry run in ph33r shall be realized.

d00d, Im so getting Planetside again.

Vernius · 2004-07-18, 12:58 PM

haha, I don't even want to think about the grief that thing could generate.
could get weapon lock in just one shot

ROFL

but frankly, I think it's a hoax, nicely done but fake.

Thank you. Smoke said he'd tell us more tomorrow or maybe today, but he didn't deny it.

I'm sure if you custimized it so that it could cloak it wouldn't be able to carry as much firepower

And infantry takes another blow to the head =/

That's the first I've seen of that article. We'll get you an answer first thing on Monday (or sooner, possibly). But Monday for sure.

My thoughts:

They've hinted at it in the past (T_Ray's 'top secret' post)
I suspect he may have never seen the final article before it went to print.
He can't talk due to the exclusive deal they undoubtly have with CGW over this. So until he gets the OK to talk he can't say much of anything.
Not denying it outright in this case as a fake is as good as confirming it's real.

I can't wait.

I think that they should only let outfits use these, after it gets destroyed you have to wait about 2 or 3 hours before you can get another one, and you also have to buy them with outfit points. So they won't be super uber I'd say make them slow like about the speed of a running soldier.
