I'm really excited to see the if there is a new TR Cloaker Suit, hopefully they give us a mask and stuff instead of the wetsuit they are in PS1.

On the vehicles side, the Terran Republic has two unique empire vehicles, the Mosquito fighter jet and the Prowler battle tank. The Mosquito is an extremely agile attack aircraft, which can be outfitted with a variety of weapon systems to suit the needs of the republic, and has the fastest top speed of any air vehicle allowing it to quickly disengage from a sticky situation and regroup. The Prowler is a medium tank that is not only the fastest empire specific tank on the field but it can be armed to the teeth with extra weapon systems beyond the other empires medium tanks, making it one of the deadliest vehicles in the game.

So heavy tanks and some aircrafts will be shared by all empires ?

Dude, I don't care if it makes me a target or easy to see at night....

I would kill for glow in the dark stickers.

All the aircraft were common pool in PS1, the new fighters are the exception not the rule

And we probably won't see heavy tanks until after release, so money is still on them being empire specific too

Hey, even invisible people like to look cool. Besides, the enemy will see your dead body and say, "Wow, what a fashion sensible infiltrator." and when your with your allies, no danger, why be invisible at all?

Besides, from a sci-fi tech point of view, how does a invisible suit make you invisible if your not covering every bit of skin. Just bothers be a bit.

Maybe it's not light bending but rather phase shifting.

Phase shifting sounds a little out there for Planetside tech(Besides VS). Bending light is something we can do now.

Or maybe it generates some sort of magnetic field that bends light around you, but the fabric itself isn't bending the light. That's the impression I get with all of the little funky circles on that TR infiltrator concept art at least.

they need more goggles

EASyEightyEight · 2011-10-26, 04:15 PM

I don't think we'll have the simple fade invisibility like we did in PS1, but the actual bubble effect, complete with the typical predator cloak/uncloak effect whenever you start shooting something.

I like to imagine pistol customization varies from standard to magnum or even to SMG (amp, only probably a little better)

This actually sounds more plausible to cover standard pistols getting cloaked as well.

Who says this wasn't "borrowed" from the VS or ancients?
