Actually, if they are just guided, and are linked together, they don't need full enclosure to remain together.

I am more confused by the fact that it looks like a 3-barrelled rotary weapon and yet it has a belt-feed on both sides (which would only make sense for a dual configuration like the old 20mm cannons)

2 bullet feeds go in, 3 bullets come out, you can't explain that!

Two belts feed the empty barrels while the loaded one shoots the round.

You broke my brain

LOL

We're all looking for answers.

It needs two feeds.

The other belt is for spent ammo.

You'd be right about them being able to be on a chain except that these are hanging from an aircraft and normally a belt is hand fed into the gun to insure smooth firing.

The front and back are square blocks but the side looks like floating bullets.

Oh, I thought they always eject the empty cases, but I quick search confirmed that's not always the... case

this new forge light engine looks amazing , i'm playing battlefield 3 atm and i'm loving the brand new frosbite 2 engine , just a question for the developers , how good is the forge light engine in comparison to the frostbite 2 engine , is it on par or would you say it is better ? , because you have to give dice credit for making bf3 look awesome with next gen graphics . If the forge light is better then do you realise how many doors you have unlocked for next gen pc gaming

it hard to tell because of the different art styles, but i think jsut with dynamic fog, a sun that moves so you have a day night cycle, i think PS2 wins. though we really need to see some high quality video.

the turnarounds look pretty boss though.

BF3 doesnt have reflections on eyes, thus, Forgelight wins!

And no, I'm not serious. But seriously speaking, from what we've seen so far, I'm already much more into Forgelight than into Frostbite.

Can you give any of us recommended specifications. This is my set up i have . AMD Phenom x 6 overclocked at 3.8ghz 4gb corsair ram 1600 mhz , will be getting another 4gb. msi twin frozr gtx 560 ti 1gb windows 7 64 bit Battlefield 3 in operation metro 64 players, running on high 1920 by 1080p I'm getting Min.49 Max.82 Avg.66 frames . Planetside 2 will support up to 2k players in the same area fighting if not more . When the original planetside come out , i literally built about 3 gaming pcs in the space of 2 years in order to run the game smoothly with good frames , and one of the biggest probelms i found with planetside was getting all the lines on and around the bases looking nice and sharp without any jags , thankfully we won't have that problem because technology has advanced a lot over the last decade !

T-ray you have done an awesome job on the VS , but have you heard the phase looks can be deceiving , because when when you least expect it you will feel the real force of the JH triple shot in your face ! and it don't matter how prepared you are , "man you know this gonna hurt" !

, and then to rub it in you will hear my character chant , Huh, best you do ?
