So.... you *don't* want to encourage teamwork? Right...

Oh, pretty picture... <3

Those two barrels behind the turret on the Prowler looks fun to shoot at!

Very awesome picture.

Took a while to notice the 2nd Prowler obscured by the dust cloud. I like how smoke and dust from explosions will impact combat this time around.

Notser · 2012-06-23, 04:16 AM

I'd tap that, prowlers rolling in to do some business is a pretty awesome sight.

I love the smoke effect in this shot. I'm really hoping the smoke stays a while instead of just vanishing after a 2 second animation.

Oh! I didn't even notice the NC tank in the shot till now. heh, thing doesn't even need camo to be hidden.

Screenshots are no longer drool worthy, not after all that actual footage we've seen. Screenshots are more like a slap in the face now.

Which I get -- but the point is that, if that's the case, it needed to be grey, not blue. Reserving "blue-black" and "blue-grey" for TR is kind of limiting the range of colors for NC, isn't it? Especially if the NC wanted to have access to something that wasn't, you know, at full saturation to stand out against all terrain like a sore thumb painted Blue Man Group-blue.

I'm still not buying that, entirely, though -- the black stripe down the middle of the prowler is *black* (highlighting up to greyer ranges where the light glints off it). If the rest of the tank was supposed to be black, it should've matched that. It doesn't, so it's clearly meant to be.. blue.

But hey, maybe that just means that they'll let me have burghundy for my outfit colors, so I can turn the tables of color recognition confusion, right? Nah, I'd be really surprised if that were the case. Kind of like I'm surprised they're using a distinct blue-grey (alongside a black!!!) as the base for a TR texture.

TR dominance mwahahahhaa

Purty Purty. I like this a lot! Show us the BIOLAB!

Mechlord · 2012-06-23, 02:01 PM

Those buildings on the left seem to indicate that this facilility is TR owned.

Nemises · 2012-06-23, 03:05 PM

wow...the contrast glare / silhouettes from the NC standing infront of explosion ...awesome effect!
Is that a side effect of HDR lighting / glare effect ?...really cool (normally in most engines you'd just see the models normal diffuse from whatever light sources were in front...but having a bloom effect from the explosion blow out the contrast is very very cool)...

...or is it just because they are in shadow, and the diffuse is really low anyway ?

Gryph, it sure does make me drool... wishing I was in that exact vantage point in my NC Reaver with a full rocket clip.

But seriously, it looks damn good. And I'm tempted to rejoin CDL and roll with you guys again, because it was a lot of fun during my short stint in the outfit.
