Is there anything hinting about the Lancer in those leaked files?

Yeah:

PS1 Lancer (Test Weapon)
Lancer V2
Lancer VS22 Anti-Materiel Plasma Rifle
Lancer VS22 Extra Ammo
The Lancer VS22 is capable of punching through enemy armor with frightening speed, giving it the reputation as one of the Vanu Sovereignty's most lethal weapons.

For choosing the non-laser faction, you deserve boring weapons.

I'm not seeing much in the form of lasers. Maybe laser dots?

Did you guys watch E3? There are no lasers... lol. Honestly, the NC tracers look pretier than the VS lasers.

There are probably more screens, but here are a few.

Yeah, I don't mind if my ammunition doesn't look pretty.... you're meant to die from them, not go; "awwwwh...

Well, you know the NC, man. They always have to have the prettiest things. ^.^

Those are staged screenshots, not in game footage.

I'm really in no mood to start a big firefight on a video game forum right now, or ever.

Suffice it to say, a staged screenshot typically is "in game footage."
Hence, the screenshot part. It's staged so that they can make it look good easily, without having to catch it at the perfect moment in a real battle.

I watched all of the GDC/E3 footage, none of the lasers looked like that.

And if you're "not in the mood to start a big fight" why even post on a discussion board? Isn't the point to discuss?

No he's right... they don't look like that. But still.. energy discharge > projectiles. And I do believe the Lancer is described as a 'beam weapon'.

Imo: TR get the Mini-Chaingun, and the NC get the Not-so-Mini-Chaingun. I can see it being a much bigger and bulky chaingun, fitting the NC's art style versus the more slick look of the TR. It would be a slower firing MCG that does more damage per hit (fits the NC style). Hopefully things end up balanced.

Oh, and the VS would probably just be an under-slung lasher. Maybe compared to the current Lasher in PS1, it would have a faster projectile to be more on par with the other HA, but do less damage per hit than it does now. If they can make the "lash" mechanism balanced, then I'm fine with them keeping it. After all, it wouldn't be a "Lasher" if it didn't lash.
