So DanB is a designer? I was looking forward to his ban-stick in PS2. Not.

REXO!!

It looks incredible, I hope that the orange coloured lenses make it in the game, or that they are customizable! =)

Perhaps the Theme of next week is Armor types or customization of Armor.

Anyone notice the Transformers art in the background?

Or Gundam. Or something. Picture on the left looks like the left leg with a white thigh and red shin of a Gundam or some such in gray concrete arena. Picture on the right looks like it has a semi-Optimus-Primes-ish guy just left of center with a white chest and possibly a Transformers logo in the middle of it.

No to BFR's!

If HA requires heavy armor like that... it reminds me of Heavy Infantry. People would need a more muscular initial avatar character to carry it. Which would lead to more lethality in physical stuff, such as knife usage.

Hmm... Duke, whatever it is that you are doing right now, i'm sure it envolves your pants around your ankles..

I agree, it does look incredibly dumb.

Seriously though, if the TR doesn't get something cool I might go NC... TR look so lame so far. Lame Rexo, lame rifle, lame max lame everything!

Actually, the glare will be at an angle, relative to straight forward from the viewer to the thing reflecting the glare, that is in line with where the glare light is coming from.

In those lenses, since they are curved, the glare being right at the viewer means that whatever program he is using is assuming the light source is coming from the viewer's direction.

To have the glare as beady dots that always point straight forward? Then it looks like black eyes with tiny white pupils, staring, zombie-like, forward.

If they render it accurately in PS, then any reflections off the lenses should show bright spots, namely one or however many suns the planet has, as being reflected accurately so that the glare spot wouldn't be at the viewer, unless the viewer was standing triumphantly over the fallen TR, almost directly in line with the sun, casting a shadow on him, but not on his goggles.

That dude looks badass. I really like the look. If you could take the fear-and-awe of an Imperial Stormtrooper and turn it into PlanetSide, I think this would be it. Good job, guys.

Says the guy playing on NC! Of course you want us to look butt ugly...

We haven't seen much of the NC and even less of the VS, but the TR infantry are shaping up to be badass. I like their designs a lot more than the PS1 TR.

VS were about the only infantry armor I really loved from PS1 though. So far, what little we have seen of the NC armor hasn't impressed me too much, but it hasn't turned me off either. Between the NC MAX concept art and the NC ES vehicles (damn it, give me back my reaver), I could definitely see myself rolling an NC alt on another server regardless of how their armor looks.

TR on the other hand, I may have to role an alt just for the armor. The agile I could take or leave, but I'm loving the rexo.

Still though, VS for life! Nothing's gonna make me abandon my empire, short of mandatory pink tutus and nerf powered laser guns.

I've benn getting kind of an Imperial Guard vibe from the TR. I approve of this.

I've liked all of the new TR armor up until this concept art monstrosity. This is the one thing that will make me glad they removed third person!

White and red too... bleahg.
