They won't show up on your back/waist like they did in PS1, if that's what you mean.

Think about how far away it is, and how far the soldiers point of view is from the ground (rough height).

By the looks of it, i think the soldier won't even be as tall/wide as one of the engine bays (what i'm assuming the rectangular black thing.

I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, maybe they are...

PS2 ES fighters dwarf their PS1 counterparts. If memory serves the Mossie is about 10-12ft tall and maybe 30ft+ long.

Yep. It looks a lot like the NC Sweeper, but with a TR logo.

I see what ppl mean by it being reminiscent of Searhus. Bright, sunny, hilly savannah. Yep, Searhus. Or the east side of it anyway. Looks kinda like the hills around Onatha on Amerish, too.

I do hope the vehicle selection screen shows up on the actual in-game screen at the terminal instead of filling up your whole monitor, though. It's little things like that where it feels like you're actually interacting with things in the game world that really add to the immersion factor. Luv it!

I also hope we get control of the aircraft immediately to cut down on pad camping a bit.

I mean can you run around unequipped or do you always have to have a weapon drawn?

Yeah, this screenshot feels a lot like PlanetSide. Firstly the trees above the base's walkways, secondly the whole sunny-day temperature feel like Cyssor or Searhus, then we've got a mossie parked on a spawn/landing pad like it's waiting patiently for its owner.

That's classic PS1, like when at a base that's reasonably near the action (has a few people wandering around getting ready to go in to battle) but is fairly quiet and not in the battle.

They're murdering free-form inventory, so my guess is you'll always have a weapon drawn.

Naaaah.

Well, yes it would look better.

But that'd be forgetting the MAX week.
Then will come the classes week.
...Customisation week.
......Continents week.
.........Get ready for beta week.
.............Easter vacations couple of weeks.
..................."So, where were we?" week.
.............................."Oh right, beta!" week.
.......................................Nevermind, more background week.

And so on

That screenshot is the balls. I'd pay $10 for a HD version of that for my desktop background.
